When there was only 4Gates in PvP in Korea, he played with early Robo vs MC in the All Stars series and won with that epic drop, then broke the MC's table. Well, seriously talking, even if I never liked Stephano, it is with no doubt the # 1. I still can't see Snute better than Scarlet if you ask me | ||

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. I was always impressed how much other pros respected his skill when typically they're very hesitant to do so. It seems he never really reached his peak. I'm also frustrated to this day. | ||

He was nearly as dominant as Stephano during his era and has continued to be a relevant player to this day. 3 premier titles, numerous solid GSL showings, several other solid finishes in premier tournaments. If Huk isn't 2nd or 3rd I'd be surprised. Stephano is undoubtedly number 1, though. His GSL showings were because he got invited. In fact the GSL qualifiers are so hard that no foreigner was able to qualify the korean way haha. | ||

Jinro too low though - back to back GSL Ro4 is insanely impressive and no other foreigner has since reached that peak. Can't discount it that much just because it was from early WoL, otherwise people would also discount MC, Mvp, and Nestea's accomplishments as well. | ||

Very few serious contenders tried, too little to gain. MaNa at least went from code A to code S. Regarding Huk, there was a moment when he was the ace of OGS, that was pretty badass. | ||

I think it has to be Huk. -First foreigner to beat a Korean in a premier tournament finals. -Won MLG Orlando, one of the toughest premier tournaments ever won by a foreigner (NASL 3 also up there) -Only player to win an MLG with Koreans -One of the best GSL foreigner performances along with Naniwa and Jinro. -Arguably the second best Protoss behind MC for parts of 2011. Not better than Stephano and Naniwa, but Huk's performances in 2011 go far beyond any other foreigners'. | ||

MaNa IdrA NaNiwA Scarlett Huk Stephano Sen Snute Nerchio All seem like they deserve to be in the top, but that ignores the couple Chinese players that should be there as well. Possibly Vortix as well... I'm curious who makes the cut, but Stephano is clearly number one, with NaNiwA at number two. | ||
