Wouldn't call that "outperforming", both are very solid at this matchup.

Like I said though they're all top tier at this matchup | ||

Don't get me wrong, Thorzain is a hell of a player, but he lost in code A ro 32. For me results trump all other considerations, so the only foreigner competing in the toughest tournament in the world is, by default, the best foreigner. | ||

Like I said though they're all top tier at this matchup At that time sC had just barely lost 2-3 to NesTea and had the sickest 2 rax going, so not surprising. He's the only zerg to consistently take games and matches off these top TvZ players also it seems. I think he's 3-3 with MMA? | ||

 ThorZaIN,  NaNiwa, and  Stephano which works really well since it represents of all three races. I'd have picked HuK over NaNiwa if HuK made it out of his ezpz group. | ||

That's a poor argument, it just forgoes all analysis. If you want to say that you could say he shouldn't be in Code S because he got knocked out by MC who isnt even in Code A now. But that of course would be stupid because you have to analyze the games and careers of the players. When I think of sen and thorzain I think of two players I would bet on to beat huk especially with the state of protoss relatively easily. | ||

I recall many who used to say he's only good in a TSL setting where he has at least a week to prepare for his next match, even after he went 9th at MLG (losing to MC and taking two more games off him in the process) and barely losing out to July and Hasu for his Dreamhack group. More recently, he's done pretty well in the GSTL for a foreigner, which exposes you to a variety of different opponents giving you little preparation. He also came in second at the Dreamhack invitational. Willing to bet he'll roflstomp his IPL3 group as well :p. He's good on short notice but he does better when he gets to prepare for his opponent. In Dreamhack, he had a general idea of who he was playing since there's only 8 people. In TSL, he knew exactly who he was playing and had time to prepare a lot so he dominated everyone inthat tournament. | ||

But what have Machine and Lzgamer done that would possibly merit a place in the 'best foreigner' discusion? Niether of them have put up any result that wold remotely qualify them for the discussion; ditto for moonglade and catz. Drewbie has shown some good MLG results, so if you squint your eyes and take a few shots you may be able to convince yourself he belongs in a discussion with Huk and Naniwa (people who have, you known, won MLGs). But Catz, Moonglade, Machine, and Lzgamer have not done anything that would merit a comparison to the top foreigners mentioned in the OP. | ||

I believe the strongest contender would be HuK. | ||
