Ret is the second lowest? thorzain being first is just like, mindblowing. He is a great player for sure but his builds and macro are not up to 'gosu' standards. If the list were only, "which foreign terrans are the best", Thorzain very well might win. But I think in terms of mechanical skill, he isn't anywhere near the top.. meaning the word 'best' is probably not a very good word to use for a poll. please explain how thorzain has inferior macro to the other players you listed. | ||

Jinro rejected his and advised to give it to SaSe. he qualified in an tournement final where he won 4-2 over naniwa. dno if the 2nd code A season was about jinro giving away his spot, might be, but the first one was qualified of him. | ||

Just because someone isn't in Code S doesn't mean they're automatically worse than the people who are in Code S. Look how long it took Bomber to get into it, just as an example. While he was still only in Code A/B, was he automatically MUCH WORSE than everyone in Code S? Might I remind you Hong'Un is Code S?  Lol, couple games in team league and you put Tzain above HuK already? How about HuK get 2 acekills for oGs then? How many chances have we seen him performed in the GSTL? Not in code S = not competing at the highest level of the game. Anyone that could make it to R8+ is consider really good. //Oh and HongUn is the second best Protoss in the world. Just look at the result and ignore Tasstorsis. | ||

So yeah, certainly the most scary foreigner at the moment. As I said in the thread, I've never seen anyone perfect a build during a tournament before. Remarkable stuff. | ||

Thorzain lost 2-3 against drg in dh valencia. He won 3-2 against MC when MC was in good shape. And if you define mechanical skill as being the best, you better change the poll to which foreigner does have the most mechanical skill. you have a bias in fandom I'm not a fan of anyone on the list in particular if you don't define best as 'mechanical skill' .... what do you define best as? biggest crowd pleaser? Most hyped? Best all-iner? I'm not saying thorzain is any of these but if we don't say macro play is the most important skill, what else makes good players good? the poll isn't 'who is my favorite' player, and that's my point... there are so many people coming out for SPECIFIC players because they like them and want to support them.. but think about how the order of that list would change if Artosis gave them a "power" rank. | ||

Because huk made his ace kills when he was in really good shape and he did not show much of that in the past month. | ||
