Please don't start this debate -.- Huk is Korean! Select is Korean! Rain is foreign! whatever... it matters not one whit... its just that a significant portion of Select's career has been in America.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

If Huk is on that list, where the hell is Fenix? You don't take out TSL_Heart and TSL_Clide and then join team IM for absolutely no reason.

I've never understood the argument for SeleCT being American. He's from Korea. HuK is Canadian American even though he plays in Korea, not Korean so why do we call SeleCT American? It's a double standard it seems.

im not sure why everyone thinks Idra shouldnt be on the list.

I don't think anybody says that Idra is not good. He clearly is very good. Many people just question if he is good enough to be in the top 12 at this very moment. The list of top foreign players is quite stacked, many of them are close to each other in terms of skill, if you consider that he lost quite a lot against other foreign players lately I think you can understand why people voted him.

Mana, Thorzain, and naniwa are definateley the best at the moment, however I can see MorroW, Strelok, select and Sjow getting to that level.

ThorZain at the top, but according to his TLPD still hasn't won anything since that big teamliquid tourney.

Voted IdrA just based on consistency, and #1 seed in MLG, along with numerous wins over time without playing the "strongest/easiest/most used/whatever you want to call it" race.

Huk should be known as the best foreigner as hes in code S and no other foriegner can say that.. Then I'd say stephano and thorzain. Haters, just watch stephano play and you'll realize he is the future of the foreigner scene.

Interesting that 34% of the votes are for a terran player, 33% for a zerg player, and 33% for a protoss player.

Thorzain obviously is winning that poll just because there is no terran competition.

In a poll including the korean scene, he would get no vote at all, he is just another terran among so many.

Huk on the contrary would get votes even in a poll including koreans.

that makes sense. =P if you saw, i didnt vote for him either. right now id say that ThorZain is the strongest if i had to make a solid decision. Everyone jsut constantly hates on Idra and im not sure why. right now, hes doing pretty badly. haha, theres no question about that. =P

Probably Thorzain and Major in terms of raw skill, and Huk in terms of results/ability to perform under pressure.

Huk is the only one who consistantly takes games of Korean players at the moment, and more importantly the only one competing at the top level in Korea. Untill one of the others in that poll reach code S status and start performing better then Huk there I don't think you can call them the best foreigners.

Best potential, or best player (read race)?

Naniwa at a laughable 4%, just waiting for the koreans to figure out the meta-game and he'll be back on top.

SeleCT, korean currently residing in korea... take him off the list :D

Yeah but ThorZaiN has consistently placed exceptionally well, and he did really well in the GSTL.

thats 100 bux gone. Plus qxc's tvz and tvp is much better. Even if Kas has better TvT. 100 bux Kas wouldnt all kill a korean team in his first season. Now thats a garunteed 100. QXC is better all around.
