LucifroN, Stephano, NaNiwa, Snute & Scarlett. Question is in which order! | ||

And that is just wrong. I don't think Lucifron makes the cut here. He was really good, but doesn't quite have the results. | ||

I feel like he's kind of robbed at 8th. Agreed, he has a second place finish in 2010 and one in 2015 and he never really dropped off the map at any one point within this timeframe. When it comes to foreign play. | ||

Isn't that the korean warcraft 3 player? I don't even know any SC2 player by that name. HuK had a very good run with Dreamhack and Homestory Cup win back to back over koreans and I can honestly say that although I don't even like him. | ||

You might be thinking of Lucifer? although Lucifron did play Warcraft 3. Lucifer = Korean Undead, Lucifron = Spanish Orc. | ||

Silly me, thinking a thread called "The Greatest Foreigners of All Time" would be about who are the greatest foreigners of all time and not who has won most. Not that I blame people for judging by results. If you don't understand the game very well, how can you be expected to be able to tell who's the better player? Much easier to judge by results. | ||

Possibly even the best foreigner at his peak. Then again same is true for HuK so... | ||

Right, because HuK managed to participate in the GSL 11 times and win major tournaments while LucifroN.....? HuK has been around since the beginning and shown incredible results from 2010 - 2015. He's been consistent and has shown an amazing work ethic in Starcraft II that many foreigners have not shown, and his results clearly show he has been a Top 5 foreigner. And it's not even his results that show he is a better player than LucifroN, he just clearly his and has been a feared foreigner for any player during his tenure playing Starcraft. I feel like you are just trying to pick a fight with people. | ||

Maybe we can agree that there's no requirement (not even being somewhat decent at Starcraft like being in gm league) to sign up at this site and post whatever? Anyway, good evening. Im going to bed. | ||

All good! Don't sweat! I just feel like there is a general consensus among many readers here that HuK clearly deserves a Top 5 nod on this piece. There is no doubt that LucifroN was an incredible Terran during his prime and probably should have been in this Top 15 ranking somewhere. I just feel he was not a Top 5 foreigner considering the last five players we have yet to see announced (and who we assume will place). | ||
