Thanks for this stuchiu!

A little surprised Snute is 3rd over Huk, since he hasn't actually won anything, but it is what it is.

Please

That's just saltyness or troll, can't believe you if you're serious. Would be a discredit for you to downgrade Naniwa because you dislike him personally

Looks like I was right about Stephano tho :o.

Also reading your post about Scarlett makes me very sad for terrans argonautdice :/.

Oh she has her fair share of losses against korean terrans, but her ZvT makes some of the best games!
very illegal and very uncool

" Even now, when he says that it would take him just two weeks to get back to the top if he was serious, there is a small part of me that thinks he could do it." Wasnt it naniwa's words ? It's under the stephano paragraph
Anyway thanks that was a good read. I remember when stephano lost to Titan in an online cup, it was his first loss against protoss in like 30 games, that was the peak period of stephano i think


Naniwa said it first, but failed. Stephano on the cast said he could actually do it, unlike Naniwa.

Snute has had a larger consistent peak with more results against more opponents over a longer period of time. Yes HuK had some big wins, but the breadth and depth of Snute’s career made too much of a difference, especially when you add in that he played in a harder era had his style broken down twice (at the end of WoL and the Swarmhost nerf) and was still able to keep at a level where he could (and did) upset GSL/SSL Champions.


I'd say having to beat MarineKing's 1/1/1 was as difficult at the time as having to beat herO's blink builds. That combined with more results is enough for me to have HuK as my #3.

I'll give you that, but "just above Naniwa" doesn't sound like a different tier to me, so get rekt m8 Needless to say I ofc disagree with the placement, but can see the arguement for Stephano

Great article, really enjoyed reading it
For me personally, I rate Huk>Snute and Naniwa>Stephano, but that's probably just bias because i like both of them really much.

"Snute played in a harder era than HuK"

lmao they're not remotely comparable in that fashion, why do people still spread this "the game was easier back then" garbage? HuK should be ahead of Snute because that MLG win + his GSL results go ahead of anything Snute did IMO.

First time I've disagreed enough to comment on one of these. Huk should definitely be at least third. On a list of the "Greatest" foreigners, winning big lans and competing well in GSL should easily count far more than Snute consistently doing pretty well.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

People still lapping up Stephano's "I barely practise" bullshit, I see.

But Top was a really good player in 2011. You'd be better mentioning Inca.

List of players who did better in GSL than any foreigner ever:

(T)RainBOw
(T)Rain
(Z)July
(P)InCa
(T)TOP
(P)Genius
(Z)Sniper

Just something to keep in mind when we say that a Ro8 in GSL means you're a top foreigner all time

Every one of those players was better than any foreigner at the time of their success.
