Thorzain for T

Can't believe people voted for Stephano. He hasn't prove himself yet.


Proof? He is classes above IdrA, he is roflstomping best korean TvZ players, so seriously...u can have opinion that IdrA is best but saying something like that for such a talent and person that PROVEN himself in last 2 months is stupid.


For real? Online?

When will people get it in their head that playing against Koreans online holds little to no truth what so ever? Take TSL for an example. How many people beat Koreans in there? Then using your logic those Foreigners > Koreans

Look at the past 3 / 4 months, how many foreigners have beat Koreans at Lans? Not as many as the TSL results would have you thinking.

I have nothing against Stephano I think though that people give him too much credit, he will be the future of Zerg but he isn't just yet for a reason because he's not ready for it.


The last 2 major lans in EU Stephano placed higher then Huk took 3rd in Assemply summer how is that not proving himself??

Many people will ignore as much logic as possible to convince themselves that IdrA is the best player in the world. Not worth bashing your head against the wall.
Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth!

Idra over Sen,Stephano and Dimaga? plz provide some evidence to backup that claim?


- Qualified for every GSL Open Season and made it to the round of 8 during GSL January
- Won IPL Season 1
- Won MLG D.C.
- He's the only foreigner that managed to make a top 4 to a MLG since the koreans started to compete there
- etc.


well, thats about half a year ago.
in the last 2-3 months....

Thorzain, but Mana isn't getting nearly enough love. That man is a fucking beast, better than Nani right now, and Idra (him and Kas don't deserve to be there over Nerchio btw) and possibly Sen, but I only say that cause I haven't seen him play in ages.

Does Sen even play on the KR ladder anymore now that he is full time Taiwan?

If he doesn't, then he is NOT the best foriegn anymore and will slowly slip off the radar like every other non-kr training foreigner.


KR + Taiwan merged. o.o

He was practicing on KR server even before the merger.

I would say by achievements HuK but Thorzain would be a CLOSE 2nd for me (also some bias towards huk to be fair) then most potential i believe would be Select im excited to see select in Code A once he gets some korean practice in.
Plays against every MU with nexus first.

Think THorzain will ride on the TSL victory for quite a while. He is however, showing some great play in pretty much all of his matches, which is what matters, but in terms of result, dunno bout him.

Would go for naniwa or huk tbh

Hahaha. Better than Sen/Stephano/Nerchio?

Anyone who is voting Idra is obviously a clueless fanboy, sorry someone had to say it.

I think Stephano will become a beast in a few months, but right now I don't think he is really the best.
IdrA ... ye .. I don't know really, yeah, he showed some results, but I feel they are just not as strong, as 4-5 months ago ...

I voted for HuK, just because I think, if he took a break from all the traveling, he would just steamroll everybody (including Koreans ..)

I personally miss Sheth in this list (or am I blind?), IMO he is a really strong player, especially his ZvP is beasty. He is maybe not the best, but atleast he would deserve a spot in here

Wow, a poll that actually surprised me. Huk not being on top makes me think that people are voting based on who they support/favor, not "who is the best foreigner" as the question asks.
Has any foreigner gotten as far as Huk (RO8) in Code S since Jinro's (RO4) and IdrA's (RO8) performance 9 months ago? If I'm wrong I'd be glad to be corrected by someone.

SeN, ThorZaIN, MaNa and Stephano are by far the best foreigners imo. (sorry HuK)
If I had to pick one, then Stephano's absolutlely inhumane winstreak at the moment takes the prize, he's looking nigh-unbeatable atm.

People who are saying Sen still, what has he done in the last 2 months?

Apparently old results are meaningless (see idra posts), so how can you say Sen?

I would say Thorzain most skilled, Mana most potential. Since his second place at Dreamhack i believe that Mana will one day be the best SC2 player ever! Mana fighting!

My brain says Thorzain, but my heart says Ret.

Also I'm surprised by how many votes Idra and Stephano got...
