Agreed, Neeb should be on the list whatever his rank is. Typical TL mod bias unfortunately.


He already made the list.


What rank? I've checked all 3 parts (from 15th place to 1st place). I haven't seen Neeb mentioned.

Did you check the dates of the list? This was published at the beginning of 2016.

looking at it now i would still have stephano as #1 for sure...with Scarlett moving up to maybe 3rd place?

always love articles like these though even if they are biased sometimes....they're always interesting to read.
sorry if this is too old of a bump


Nerchio has had a similar year as Neeb in 2016, and Nerchios historial results are far better than Nerchio.

And no going through an easy bracket in Kespa cup is not as big of an accomplishment as you make it out to be.

beating stats and trap in PvP is quite an achievement if you ask me.


He won a kespa cup of a single matchup + a lucky bracket, using a meta that no one was familiar with, and soon after it became standard he stopped being so good. I mean Neeb has been amazing but he hasn't overcome many of the past (or even current) legend foreigners just yet. I'm really not trying to bash Neeb because he's great, but those acheivements sound a tad more impressive than they really are.

Like its amazing to get ro4 at WESG you say? a cup stacked with legends like Zerghamdi and Drager?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Stats is an archievement. Trap is at best on par with other top foreigners.

And yet Trap took out TY and Solar, two of the very best Koreans. I haven't seen any other foreigners do that in a series. Elazer and Nerchio took out Solar, but ZvZ is another beast.

Neeb has certainly earned the right to enter this list. I'd personally put him at rank 4 or 5.

On the original list, I feel like Ret has been overlooked. His list of accomplishments :

Assembly Winter 2011 Champion
MLG Columbus 2011 top8
Europe Battle.net Invitional 2011 Champion
Dreamhack Winter 2011 top4
IEM Sao Paulo 2012 top4
Redbull Lan 1 2012 Champion
Dreamhack Stockholm 2012 top4
HSC V Top8
NASL season 2012 season 3 top4
IEM World Championship 2013 top8
IEF 2013 3rd place
WCS Season 2015 S2, top16

as well as being already older when sc2 came out, concistenty over 2 titles (bw, sc2), and years of playing at the top foreign lvl, results spanning from 2010 to 2015.

Obviously had a huge dip later in his carreer, but I still think the results speak for themselves, would be in my top10-15.

Nerchios results were only against foreigners which isn't very impressive (compared to the other players on the list.) In KesPa Cup and blizzcon he got crushed.
And Beating Zest, Rogue and Stats certainly isn't easy.

crushed is a really hard word. He didn'tget crushed he barely didn't make it out of his groups.
I think Nerchio overall one of the strongest foreigners, also showtime is on this list for me.
Because it is a lot of harder to rock nowadays than at the early stage where koreans had not all built up to these monster macro machines that they are now.

Sick 2 month necro...

Why are people arguing about 2016-2017 foreigners from a list that was designed in 2015?

Neeb vs Stephano is debatable and Clem is too high right now as he doesn't have the results yet though it's only a matter of time. otherwise I agree

I can get behind that too, or at least a very similar permutation.

Stephano is still #1. Recency bias is strong here.

Would Naniwa still be #2, or would he be moved down in favor of the newer foreigner players?

That seems like a pretty hard claim to make, would it have been possible for Serral, or someone else in his era to pass Stephano, or is it more of an idea of the highest skill era that that only old SC2 matter?
