EPTThorzain and Mana have proved themselves over and over again. And Mana is quite possibly the best on-form PvT around, including Korea.

Still the only foreigner to win lan events with koreans there right? Still the only foreigner to maintain a spot in Code S, something that a number of great Koreans can't do. Hes the clear and only choice. No, Dimaga won Assembly. | ||

Its much like Naniwa became an instant fan when he went like 30+ Box's in a row without losing. Stephano recently shows alot of success on ladder and a few online cups, so attention has reverted to him. He will either start to dominate, or slip back into nothingness. Its kinda like KAS. KAS was expected to be like a 'god' from alot of the EU community. He is def good, but got super overhyped and shit. | ||

I could have sworn in an numerous interviews he's in the US solely for the purpose of school, or it was his purpose until SC2 came out. It's not the same as DDE being korean and living in Canada(going off the assumption he was born in Canada but his ethnicity is Korean.) | ||

And stephano keeps kicking ass all over.. its getting pretty scary. Edit: but I do agree he doesnt deserve the number one spot atm. | ||

My head hurts from such confusing arguments and counter arguments when there isn't a consensus on what is counted and what isn't. If that's in support of Naama being a good foreigner then Idra is better if not the best as during that time he consistantly beat Koreans placed well in Code S and won MLG | ||
