1) Huk
2) Idra
3) Stephano

Im basing this from what I've seen in MLG Orlando, you really have to give credit to Huk winning the whole tournament. Idra played really well during the 1st day and he looked really unstoppable at that time (Until the battle with MKP). Stephano has been doing well as well but I don't think he has reached Idra's experience just yet but he's really close and catching up quickly.

I guess he wasn't at his best, against a much more jet lagged Idra at IPL. We all know how great Thorzain is, can't even advance past ro32 in code A. Winning an online tournament a million months ago = murders all foreigners easily? Here are some facts for you blind zealots. Go to liquipedia and look at his tournament wins. Wow, so many crazy 1st place finishes! If you want to ONLY go off of victories, Huk makes Thorzain look like a total scrub nub. What do I know though, I don't drink the European cool aid

[/B]

The last 2 times thorzain and huk went head to head thorzain won(EG masters cup and Dreamhack Invitational). Not saying that this is the only way to decide who is the better, but i think it is silly to say that huk makes thorzain look like a scrub.

Also, both thorzain and naniwa had arived in Korea the day before their round of 32(if you want to look at what thorzain did look at his GSTL results). I believe that he was sick at IPL.

Not takign anythign away from HuK. He has unarguably produced the most consistent results of any foreigner.

Facts speak for themselves, if you don't like my post, just click the link and read how awesome he is.

Thorzain is known for not entering a lot of tournaments.

The people countering his argument with "stereotypical american" or "SUP US!?!" are no better than him. Really, so he desides to be a jackass and bring up some us vs eu crap, doesn't mean you all have to join in.

Wow dude it's just playful banter, nothing serious. It's obviously a joke, just like Stephano being from USA. I just replied with the same format.

I think IdrA is better than HuK at the moment, despite MLG's outcome. Lets be honest, could HuK have beaten Bomber? Not likely. HuK definitely earned his MLG win, but if IdrA hadn't knocked Bomber out, Bomber would have taken 1st place for sure.

I also think that IdrA is better than MC at the moment. IdrA lost because he had just played 8 of the most intense games we'd ever seen - five games vs Boxer ending in a 4-3 win, and three brutally long, razor-thin games against Bomber, all back to back. Nobody could play their best, or anything approaching their best, only minutes after an ordeal like that.

I'm not really much into dickwaving, but there's just such a feeling that KR > EU > NA when it's really only that for ladder. NA scene is so underrated it's painful. Nani Thor and Sase will definitely improve with more time spent in Korea, but I believe results over time still make solid evidence for them being behind IdrA and HuK (code S > A anyone?).
