Stephano, Naniwa, Huk, Sen, Scarlett, Mana, Nerchio, White-Ra, Idra, Snute. No particular order, just my thoughts as to the Top 10. Honorable mentions/barely missed the cut to the Duran brothers and Qxc.

Wait, are people actually considering TLO on the list, above Thorzain and Jinro (and even Bunny that actually won a tournament)?

Snute should be at least top 2 there is no foreigner which could beat the top Kespa Koreans so consistent like Snute in a time where foreigners looked like master players compare to Koreans.

It's pretty much a no-brainer that top 2 will be Stephano and Naniwa, just depending on the writer's bias I suppose. It gets more interested between 3-10.
My fellow countrymen that I cheer for every time like MaNa and Nerchio will surely make it on that list as well as canadians like Scarlett and HuK. I assume Snute will find his way onto the list as well.
Maybe Happy and Beastyqt? That would be a bit of Terran bias but they were really solid for a long time despite not having MLGs and WCS trophies.

White-Ra Idra are a lock for top 10 as well if you ask me.

Stephano has always been #1 foreigner, and I think it's hard to put anyone else at #2 besides Naniwa.

But that's going off statistics... obviously the list is subject to opinion and bias, hence Dimaga on this list at all.

I think Stephano >>> Naniwa >>> Everyone else in terms of an honest list.

Everyone is coming up with their own crackpot theory for who is after Stephano, the answer is Sen everybody. He's brown but he's not Korean.

I ranked TLO at # 10 (i would have switched him with Jinro if i had the list) because throughout the entirety of SC2, he has ALWAYS been relevant and had always been fairly consistent. He may not have won tournaments, but he has always been there and show unique and CREATIVE styles. Idk, I think it would be subjective, as this list is, to place anyone anywhere.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I expect HuK to be high in the list, probably third after Stephano and NaNiwa.
Stephano and NaNiwa are the only ones who could've given any Korean a run for his money. HuK however has been relevant from the beginning, winning an MLG and placing high in countless other tournaments. And he's still in it. In that sense, he's comparable with Polt for the sheer length of his relevance. In that way, I would place him before IdrA and Scarlett.

Top 5: Stephano, NaNiwa, HuK, Scarlett, IdrA

Man I wish we could have a new NaNiwa in GSL Ro8... two times.... in a row.

1. Stephano
2. Naniwa
3. Snute
4. HuK
5. Nerchio
6. Sen
7. Scarlett
8. Mana
9. Vortix
10. Jim

I think this is pretty accurate, I honestly couldn't really find the 10th player so I just went with Jim. Ofcourse there could be some player mixing between place 7 and 10 since they're all pretty close. Personally I would switch Snute and Nani but I don't think TL will put Nani below snute ^.^

Edit : I guess since some people really like IdrA it's not impossible for him to be the 10th player
