Thank you for 2,500 votes and 30 pages. Did not expect this thread to be that active. Dont bash any players, discuss the facts.

_______________

Who is in your opinion the best foreigner (non chinese, if that would make a difference) at the moment?

To answer that question, I listed 12 players that come into my mind for this title in no particular order - vote for whoever you think deserves that unofficial title.

I think Whitera and Morrow definitely deserve to be on this list more than Mana, Kas, or Sase

HuK since he by far is the most accomplished. Id say Thorzain is up there, his preformance is the DH invitation was stellar, goin toe to toe with the best ZvTer in the world (he said that TvZ is his worst MU.)

I haven't been up to date with Stephano lately but what has he done against Koreans? The only thing I think I can remember is him getting crushed by MC at HSC

It's Huk until another foreigner can get into Code S.

Thorzain right behind Huk. Stephano could have the overall best talent/form out of any foreigner, but he needs accomplishments at a MLG at least.

He beat a few in the IPL qualifier, i didn't watch, but i remember him beating MMA 2-0, or 2-1.

Thorzain I think is the best. There are some players on that list who are amazing and better than everyone when they are motivated, which I would have to put Ret and Dimaga on that list. I don't think Idra is on the top. In terms of skill, yeah he is, but him expressing his disappointment in the game from a design and balance standpoint, which results in him leaving games early, and not trying in some games, causes him to under perform.

I think Slush is missing, Stephano is undeserving.

For the best I voted Huk with a heavy heart, I do believe Naniwa is the next great foreigner hope.

Well the problem is, that white-ra and morrow would get steamrolled by mana or kas :/ just my opinion, its hard to find 12 players that satisfy all and its not possible to put more into a poll than 12.

Thats why i added those other 2 polls

i think Stephano is really strong atm, but lets wait till IPL/MLG, cause we didnt see him offline the last few weeks (or even months)

without the Stephano variable, I would give ThorZain a slight edge over HuK, just because of the DH Valencia results.

I dont think IdrA is in the top 5 atm.

Which is online events. Boxer, MC, and a bunch of other Koreans got crushed many times too.

IPL qualifiers aren't LAN. Results v Koreans online really don't hold as much truth as you'd like to think.
