Or keep Naniwa, where he is and swap Nerchio with Scarlett.

Well, correct me if im wrong but i think naniwa was the last foreigner to ever qualify for code S. not only that but he made back to back round of 8's in code S, in addition to all the other stuff he's won making him not just one of the best foreigners but at the time one of the best players in the world period. All the other players on that list except huk got in due to seeds.
And now that i think of it i might rate huk a little higher too because he had something like 6 or 7 code S appearances.
the only way out is through...

NaNiwa received a Code S seed for 2012 GSL Season 2
.
Still weird having VortiX and Nerchio so low in the rankings, but I guess they'll still put Stephano #1 in order to make the ranking somehow serious.

Oh, Well still he made good use of his seed by getting to the round of 8 and the next season he actually earned the code S spot. Everyone else pissed their seed away by bombing out in the first round (except huk). And i guess this means huk is the only person to have earned his code s seeds on merit besides idra. Scarlett Snute Nerch Vortix etc have never even seen the inside of da gsl booth. So i might put huk at number 3 actually.

Not just HuK and Idra (and Jinro obv.); MaNa earned Code S as well, by making it through up&down groups.

Stephano too qualified for WCS Korea Season 1 2013, he forfeit his spot to play in Europe though

Wasn't it mana who was the last to qualify, albeit by getting a seed in up and downs. I thought stephano got his seed directly to code S

edit, he also went through up and downs,

Stephano got a Code S seed for Season 1 WoL 2013, got knocked out in the Ro32 group and then requalified through Up & Downs for the next GSL which was transformed into WCS Korea Season 1. Then he forfeited his spot. I'd say that counts as "qualified".
HuK and MaNa both got seeded into Up & Downs and qualified from there.

Idra is #7, a respectable number. I'm glad that he made in onto that ranking, it's god damn necessary.

Jinro could still be higher.

It will be weird with Scarlett in top 5 without a single premier title to her name but all things considered there's no way around it.

He could have been disqualified from ranking for bet behaviour The old Idra-originating flames would burn anew.

So top 5 from here has to be

5. Scarlett
4. Snute
3. Huk
2. Naniwa
1. Stephano



I Don't know I feel like Idra is right where he should be. People forget how dominate he was in early sc2 before he went on tilt.

I never liked Naniwa neither Stephano, but I must agree that Stephano is the best foreigner BY FAR.
There was an after and before from Stephano in the whole game and scene, and even if he got pwned few times badly by koreans, the Naniwa pwnage was even worse...

I can not see how Stephano could be lower than Naniwa in the rank... seriosly, Stephano #1.
