Top 3 to me is almost certainly Stephano then Naniwa then Snute. I can see why Jinro is so low in the rankings; while his results are extremely impressive, there are only three of them. Also Scarlett will end up something like 7th, which will result in even more complaints than PartinG not making the list. | ||

I don't even think there will be terrans in the top 10? Scarlett probably 4 or 3 and Snute as 3 or 4 (most likely Snute 3rd), Huk at 7? | ||

2. - 3. Snute or Scarlett Stephano has the edge on results, but seeing how Zerg was back then and how abusive he was always makes me feel a bit uneasy saying he was the best ever. nani has comparable (arguably better) results against Koreans and did it at a time when Protoss wasn't doing very well. | ||

Every sport evolves and the level always gets higher, it is not because people are innately more talented or working harder in later eras just because they ended with a higher skillcap, it is the evolution of the game, practice methods, your peers, etc. Props for another awesome article series though, no complaints here just opinions. Generally I agree but imo the kespa switch has made the korean scene far more competitive because of their rigorous practice regiment. If a player would make double ro4 today it would be undoubtely more impressive then jinros runs. Still I think jinro should be higher. | ||

Next 3 are probably some combination of Snute, Scarlett and MaNa. MaNa is actually the odd wildcard I look forward to, as he's had top 3 finishes in Premier events across 5 years. Snute is also an interesting case because at points his ZvP has approached not just "best foreigner of all-time" but possibly "best of all-time" at points. It's just too bad that he ran into two top 5 TvZers (at the time) at IEM twice. Otherwise he might have had 1-2 IEM titles to his name. | ||
