I think it is a hard call between the two, I always feel that Scarlett had the highest peak of any foreign player, Snute was and still is quite good, but Scarlett showed complete domination of even high level Korean players. It still makes me sad to think what her results would have been with just a bit more luck, with a 14 pool instead of hatch first it is likely she would have won WCS NA 2013 over polt, similarly her losses to bomber wcs finals 2013, sOs at redbull, and Trap at MLG were heartbreakingly close. With just a few more wins Scarlett could possibly have been considered the best foreigner of all time, certainly overtaking Naniwa.......  | ||

Stephano/Nani/HuK/Snute/Scarlett Sen/Mana/Nerchio/VortiX/IdrA. Won't be surprised to see likes of Jim in top-10 though, but eh. | ||

I'm the biggest Scarlett fan, but Snute just has better overall results. Scarlett has a bad habit of coming so close to winning and then finding some way to not. Like you said, if maybe 5 games in her career had gone the other way she'd be right up there but as it is there's no way you can put her over Snute. Maybe if WCS NA 2012 had counted as a Premier (like EU did) it'd be a more significant result too. | ||

He won the 2012 WCS Sweden Nationals, and that was back when Sweden was considered one of the strongest nations outside of korea with players like Thorzain, Naniwa, Sortof, Sase competing. It was so competitive, Naniwa wasn't even in the top 3. And my predictions for top 5 1. Stephano. No doubt he is the best performing foreigner in SC2 history so far. 2. Snute 3. Naniwa 4. Scarlett 5.

There's really only 4 foreigners that have had careers where they actually did well against Korean competition and those were Scarlett, Snute, Naniwa, and Stephano. Probably in reverse order. | ||

#1 Stephano #2 NaNiwa #3 HuK #4 IdrA #5 Scarlett #6 Sen #7 Snute 7-10 I dunno. I'm thinking VortiX, MaNa, Nerchio and shit I dunno. I don't think ANY of those 3 should be above Jinro though. | ||

I'm still frustrated VortiX stopped SC2 when he was possibly the best foreigner, right after he qualified for IEM without losing a map including wins against koreans. | ||

Down the road that seems so much more impressive to me now than it did at the time. Great start to a good showpiece. | ||
