She's been the best foreigner for ages now, does anyone else even come close?

Then again, all the other best foreigners are 'dead' (IdrA, Jinro, HuK, Naniwa, Stephano), her being the best foreigner is probably one of her more meaningless achievements.

IMO Huk is the clear-cut #2 foreigner after Scarlett, but not close. He did beat all the foreigners in pool play and lost only to Koreans.

IdrA never was one. From Chaos Jinro emerged as best foreigner. NaNiwa was best foreigner after Stephano, I'm not sure I would call NaNiwa best foreigner after his 2nd place and MLG Providence and 1st at MLG Global Invitational - the Stephano already made some miracles.
Jinro, HuK, Stephano, NaNiwa
or
Jinro, Huk, Stephano, NaNiwa, Stephano, NaNiwa

Anyway Scarlett now.

So many terrans on the list (1).

Could not watch at all recently. Grats to Trap ! I knew he was still up there. And I guess I need to watch Scarlett. She could get hired by a Kespa team.

To be fair he could have panicked a bit and definitely was caught off guard. I can only imagine, I hope someone will ask him about that in some future interview.

I'm not sure if I agree with Idra not being a contender for best foreigner. Before saying anything I just want to say that yes, Jinro was a great player.

Jinro was definitely very good, two Ro4 finishes in the GSL is very good. However Idra was a very, very consistent player as well, more so than Jinro in my opinion. He was Code S level (Ro32+ in the GSL) for a very long time, in fact I'm not sure if he even dropped out from Code S since it first started to when he quit the GSL to focus on the foreign scene.

Idra won quite a few tournaments and had a lot of top finishes in 2010 up to 2012. I think it wouldn't be absurd to call him the best foreigner during that time-span though indeed he eventually fell off.

Also noteworthy is that the game was not Zerg-favored in early 2010, Idra lost at least one IEM to Terran imba. To play that consistently with the weaker race that zerg was in the early stage of SC2 is very impressive.

Sorry mang. I just don't agree with the statement that Idra was never the best foreigner. Though it's not something I'm going to argue about because "best" can actually be kind of subjective.

E: I often day-dream that Idra had sucked it up and stayed in Korea to play only in the GSL. I think that the Korean ladder as well as the overall level of play he would have been exposed to would have made him a better player. However wanting to focus more on the foreign scene is also a totally respectable decision.

It's just such a fucking shame that he retired. Sucks so hard lul

I was wondering myself, but it seems that they have started to add more just now (Scarlett vs. DRG):
+ Show Spoiler [Game 1] +

+ Show Spoiler [Game 2] +

+ Show Spoiler [Game 3] +

It's not mentioned on the MLG-vod-overview yet.
