My only reason for having Naniwa over Stephano is his success in Korea compared to Stephano and his extreme work ethic during his prime. VortiX and MaNa came down to their strength at their primes. While MaNa may have more long term achievement and recent results, VortiX was so scary when he was playing and unfortunately fell off the map and went to hero brawling.

Double Ro4 in the GSL was an extremely huge accomplishment that deserves more recognition. Those were Ro64 tournaments as well in Korea making it all the more impressive he made it that deep. Agreed. I think if he were #10 and TLO was in his spot it would be a sound list. | ||

Some things aren't black and white, these are cases of personal pref imo Stephano won way more, had impact on the metagame that even impacted koreans, and some foreign patchzergs before their "rise" were trying to mimicate Stephano (but doing it worse despite doing it one year later Stephano). | ||

Stephano had a long era of foreign domination, lots of tournament wins and could consistently go toe to toe with Koreans. Jinro, at his peak, had real impact in the most prestigious tournament in the motherland, which is a feat noone else ever came close to repeating. How one compares the value of these achievements is subjective, and I, too, would favor Stephano, but #12 is certainly too low for Jinro. The fact is that Jinros domination came at a time when Koreans were still fresh in the water like us - the level of play back then was so low and everyone was on a similar playing field from it being such a new game. The korean mindset, practice schedule and downright genius hadn't been given enough to time to come to fruition. In eras such as stephanos, Koreans had a much longer period of time to seperate themselves from the rest of the pack with everything i mentioned - this is why its that much more impressive for a foreigner to be able to go toe-to-toe with them so long after the games release - it proved that either they had an immense natural talent or they had applied themselves to the game just as hard as the koreans do. | ||

Yeah, I can list reasons why my player is good aswell. Eerily similar to f0rest neo aye, kinda why I brought that up for comparison. At the end of the day Naniwa will be the better for alot of people, and probably even more for Stephano, but saying that one would clearly be better is where I start questioning it | ||

Like I understood why people were torn up between Mvp and Life but for foreigners there is no doubt possible. | ||

Well, we can continue this with the actual top 5 thread, and see if Stu thought that Stephano was in his own tier  Until then, Happy Holidays  | ||

NaNiwa, Stephano, HuK, Scarlett, Nerchio, MaNa Sen, Snute - these 7 should make the list. Then White-Ra, sadly IdrA. I wonder the order. | ||

However, if they want to be consistent with their GOAT article released recently, they should preference Nani over Stephano; all the consistency arguments that applied to Mvp apply moreso to Nani than to Stephano. | ||
