Idra is in pt 2. Nony hasnt had enough results to land him a position on the list. Slayers and Grr are bw, this is an SC2 list.

Nice list, my biggest gripe is Jinro down at 12th. He still has without any question the biggest single accomplishment for a non Korean in sc2 history.

That list would look like this:

Stephano
Snute
NaNiwa
Nerchio
MaNa
HuK
Sen
Scarlett
Jim
ThorZaIN

Doesn't say as much as the article list though. That list cares not about opponents or strength of field. Winnings in one tournament can be higher than another one with tougher competition.

Thanks, I enjoyed reading this.

Haha, love the comparison of Snute and Roland! He somehow trudges on towards the Dark Tower he doesn't even know where is.

HuK only perform in America he maybe make it some time ago and have a decent and strong level but Scarlett was far above him in my opinion. As someone say Vortix was far a better choice in my opinion, Nerchio is a good bet to, Major is also to consider, these players have been so strong for so long going where only Koreans went, being at the top of all tournament they participed, I mean, major tournament, the think HuK done for a bit long time ago and not enouth to deserve a Top 5. HuK is still one of the more overated players....

Be fair, go at his Liquipedia page...

VortiX is underrated yes, but he hasn't won big iirc.
As for HuK vs Scarlett, imo Scarlett have reached higher lvl than him (or maybe his wins versus koreans T were due to abuse, but she still had great mechanics/creep spread) but she hasn't used it to win tourneys, whereas HuK actually had a lot of results, especially if you watch the tourneys he was in in his Liquipedia page.
Nerchio is fairly placed because he didn't perform that well offline.

Major?
You realize HuK also went to Korea but actually had results there (he was invited at the start but he was able to do decent still), won tourneys, etc, etc... Whereas MajOr highest achievement has been to be praised by Artosis a lot?

edit: potential and skill level are good things to have, but translating these into actual results is as important or even more important.

He went to Korea and played on a team. That's pretty noteable. He also won and placed highly on many tournaments in BW, including the TSLs

A bit late to the party, but I wanted to say thanks for the great read and the memories. I just read all 15 entries.

Stephano in his prime truly was a top player in his race. You wrote it like Naniwa was a close second, but I truly don't see how a foreigner ever matches what Stephano did and the impact he had.

That said, the Top 4 were spot on. Snute's career hasn't had those flashy moments that Stephano, Huk and Naniwa had, but his career has been a true grind. If he keeps it, up I see him surpassing Naniwa.

I think some people don't give Idra's greatness/impact/accomplishments enough credit. Some people say you overrated him but I think he deserves Top 5 consideration. He was just so dominant and undoubtedly the top foreigner during those first couple years of the game (imo). Of course, like Naniwa, he truly was his own worst enemy and he quit too soon.

Scarlett is ranked too highly imo. At the end of the day though, the time you put into these articles and research is truly appreciated and I'm a mere peasant. Thanks, stuchiu :D

Naniwa should be #1. Because Naniwa is the hero SC2 needs, not the one it deserves.
