I mean, it's hard to disagree with this placing. The only question is should neeb be higher than gumiho? the last 7 who have yet to be placed are all contestants of GSL finals all year, the cream of the crop. I believe neeb could beat any of them in a bo5 series, but i don't say that confidently either. anyways, good job olli~

I don't know if I agree with the "wind" part in GSL vs. the World. Perhaps Neeb didn't play to his full potential against TY and herO, but did people expect him to win against TY?


Neeb taking 2 maps of TY is seriously impressive. Considering he lost 0-3 at WeSG. If anything it's a showing that he's up there with the best (even if TY didn't have the best results in that tournament overall)
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

On one hand he is the only real foreigner hope so I kiind of want to see Neeb advance, but there is no way he beats Rogue and I'd rather have soO advance so he can rack up another silver medal.

Somewhere deep in my heart, I want to see Neeb destroy Rogue the same way he did at KeSPA Cup, but alas, the chances now seem even slimmer than they were then D:

Great article, i think its pretty obvious now that 7-5 are TY, soO and herO(in whatever order) and 1-2 is Inno and Stats.
Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

It's his destiny to get owned by soO and Rogue and have the American Protoss players blame it on hydra/bane.

I agree with other's sentiments that Neeb appears to lack personality often... However, at the same time, I view this a sort of a positive too, he really does stay so cool under pressure. Not like he used to be. We don't fault so many Koreans like TY or Innovation for presenting such stoic images, why fault Neeb? I'd like to think Neeb just has a hard time transitioning from game-face to chill-face, but who knows.

As for the rankings, I would've placed him ahead of Rouge and SoO before Gumiho really. Well, I guess what I really mean is that Neeb has a far better shot of beating SoO or Rouge. Great PvZer and Gumiho has beat up on Neeb recently. HerO is a toss up for me, no issue with HerO being ahead. Obviously Innovation and Dark should be ahead of Neeb. That leaves Stats? He's had a phenomenal year, the number 1 KR in points should always (at least for now) be ahead of the number 1 in points for the foreign scene. Though Stats and Neeb always play very close matches.

I predict a quite easy run for Neeb in group stages. He only has to prepare for a single matchup (Z), and that is by far his best matchup... We shall see. I'll go ahead and leave my way too early prediction of a Neeb vs Dark final that goes to seven games.

I don't see how you could place Neeb above Rogue at the moment. Perhaps nobody to rank above Rogue at all?

Will be interesting to see how he fairs, if he made it to the finals that really would be an incredible story. As much as I do wish I could like Neeb I just wish he had a little more personality, that's part of the reason the foreign scene flocked behind Stephano and Naniwa so much, they had the confidence and cockiness we all love to see. Either way he is a brilliant and dominant player and I'm really looking forward to seeing his matches and how he fairs up.

I don't love to see cockiness and much prefer Neeb to Stephano and Naniwa.

Stephano wasn't cocky, just french.


Very funny.

It's absolutely meaningless as they count minor online and GSL as same.

It's just sad that still foreigners only cheer and hype their players instead of being all together with Korean players.

Not sure if you're being fair with Neeb... saying things like "He came, he conquered, and like the wind, he left, to rise against in Dreamhack Austin" is like saying his inconsistent... when actually he's been pretty consistent for the past 2 years, He might not be the best... but i believe he should be a bit higher in the rank.

No matter how good you can say herO, Stats is... I believe in the past 2 years Neeb has had more consistency than herO, and is pretty close with Stats, so as far what protoss is about he're pretty much one of the strongest in the world.

I have a feeling Neeb might give a surprise this year...

Comments like this make me hope foreigners get brutally rekt at blizzcon.

Yeah he's been really consistent to be honest and seems to be constantly improving where as the foreigners who were near his equal have stagnated, like Nerchio, Showtime etc.

I don't think most people would be surprised if he did well though. I can't see him winning, but i could totally see him going to the semis with some favourable matchups.

I'm not sure if i see him winning but i'm pretty sure he'll do a lot better than what we think...

wtf look, Neeb is legit good. Very good. He has slaughtered koreans. But gumiho is a GSL champion. CHAMPION. Neeb is not close to GSL champion. This is wrong.
