Because even in Korean community, people like to troll and trash talk each other about players in GSL or SSL. Usually, in our memories, the best foreigners we know are IdrA and Stephano during WOL. But after HotS, we can't find anyone yet. But a lot of people say Snute has been showing most impressive plays among foreigners. Idra? Don't you mean NaNiwa? Idra didn't perform that well, I mean Ret won more for example.. | ||

Also IdrA played there since BW at CJ, so people were used to know him for being good not only in SC2 | ||

I mentioned Ret because he had a comparable career to Idra but there are several players that did better than him in SC2 (and thus Idra as well). Idra was a good player of course but people really remember him being more successful than he was because of his temper. | ||

Also, I hope you agree that results do actually matter?

Most would say they're very close in skill level, including themselves. | ||

I didn't think much of Nerchio but after seeing his streak I believe! I can see him making a pretty deep run. | ||

Idra was a good player of course but people really remember him being more successful than he was because of his temper. in terms of the perception koreans have of foreigners I can understand IdrA being very high up there. he was a regular Code S player, defeated a bunch of strong koreans at MLGs and people knew him from BW. HuK and Naniwa should still be ahead of him though even in this regard. | ||

I very much agree with you - it's just that it's an incredibly horrible way to go about it compared to actually having a clue about the game and looking at how well the players played. Edit: As Charoisaur pointed out, obviously judging by earnings only makes sense if you're comparing players who have attended the same tournaments xD | ||

I hadnt said anything yet about which of those two players I consider better. But if you ask me: As far as I'm concerned, neither at their time had a chance against the best in BW. As far as SC2 goes, I think they both were far from ever playing as well as the best Zergs throughout SC2. | ||
