Thorzaaain! <3 you Thorzain. Your win against Polt in Dreamhack and against Naniwa in TSL4 are two of my top 5 memories in Starcraft.

I freaked out SO MUCH watching those live!

obviously Artur is number 1, this is just a prelude to a 5000 word piece about him

Yay, it's starting again.

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.

LucifroN is the second most talented foreigner I would say but he left early and didn't have that much results so I doubt he will be on the list unfortunately.

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?

Yeah, LucifroN is 16th.

1. naniwa or Stephano

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.

Oh wow I would have expected Jinro top 5 or something! To me lists like this are about what you did in your era against your peers. 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.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I am very disappointed to see Jinro so low. While I do think his peak was pretty shortlived, he accomplished something pretty incredible. Even Naniwa's Ro8's seem more impressive than some 1st place finishes. Stephano obviously was the best, beating top-tier Koreans right and left at foreigner events. But there's something to be said about top 8 finishes in a Korean tournament.

Scarlett having never won a Premier tournament will probably keep her out of the top 3-5

interested to see where Lucifron will be placed. He's easily top 4 in my eyes he just never made it to the peak.

Stephano, Naniwa and Huk are going to end up the top 3.

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.

The fact that Bunny was compared to him means that he was 16th.
