His win at IPL is so much more impressive than Idra's at IEM. Idra barely made it out of his group. Yeah, he beat two koreans, but Revival's ZvZ is terrible and Puma basically gave wins away. Meanwhile Stephano 2-0ed Huk, 2-0ed Boxer, then beat Kiwikaki, Violet, Inori, TheSTC, and Lucky. If you count Huk as Korean, that's SIX bo3s he won against Koreans in this tournament. And the craziest thing is, he made it look so damn easy. Unbelievably dominant performance from Stephano, who has to be considered far and away the best foreigner in the world right now. Sick, sick play. | ||

He just won the IPL 3 lan tournament which had the most Koreans in a foreigner event to date and saw the following players drop at the ro32: Demuslim Boxer Socke Hero Sheth Artist and MC and had 10 Koreans in the ro16. As far as I know, that's the best recent result by a foreigner by far. Also, I think Stephano has proven that he could very realistically qualify for code A, through Korean qualifiers. He beat 4 Koreans today (11-2 against Koreans), which is how many he would have to beat to qualify for code A. | ||

Still Stephano is an pretty awesome player. I still think the title for best foreigner is too close to decide based on few tournies | ||

EU players are so legit. And top foreigners in general look they might actually be shaping up. | ||

First it was Naniwa after he won MLG dallas and won 30 something BoX in a row. Then it was Huk after he made code S and won Dreamhack Summer and Homestory. Then it was Sen after he was the highest placing foreigner in NASL. Then it was Dimaga after he won Assembly. Then it was Ret after he won the EU battle.net invitational. Then it was Thorzain after doing well in the GSTL and taking 2nd at Dreamhack Valencia. Then it was Idra after winning IEM Guangzhou. Now it's Stephano after winning IPL3. Who knows who's going to be next. The only conclusion I can come to is that there is no #1 foreigner until someone takes the throne and stays there for an extended period of time like the way MC/Nestea/MVP did in Korea. Well put. I agree with the sentiment that no foreigner is head and shoulders above all the others. | ||

Arguably i'd be saying Zerg now with Stephano, Idra, Sen and Dimaga. followed by P, then T. Where if you look at the Koreans, i'd say their best race are their Terrans. I guess foreigners are aliens. -- Also whilst I think Stephano probably is one of the best foreign player at the moment, if he doesnt up his practice routine, he may end up slumping like Jinro once he's been 'figured out' | ||

Not really, he did beat MMA though. But I'd say no). On the Terran side you have Thorzain/Select. We'll see if Major can step it up. On the other hand with Zerg you have Dimaga/Idra/Sen/Stephano as you said. And Idra won IEM Guangzhou, which is amazing, including beating two very strong Koreans. + Show Spoiler + And Stephano just beasted it up as well. | ||
