Oh I think you know that I would've had Polt at number 1 But I also can't blame someone for trying to do it by the numbers if(offline event){polt = polt*150;}

Snute and Polt definitely belong to BlizzCon.
But who else? OK, maybe Hydra, but he is not THE star. But what about the other five? Everybody else will be ROFLstomped at BlizzCon. So who will be the other five? Consistently good? I really don't know. Maybe MarineLord, Nerchio? But they are not the top class. MarineLorD, Nerchio, ShoWTimE, Hydra would be my bet and they all can be as strong as Snute imo. Other than that I think Vortix will actually somehow make it and he can be super good too. Too bad he could not play this time. Then another frenchie like Lilbow, Drogo, Dayshi or FireCake will probably make it. Solid enough imo, although a few of them will get stomped. Yes, they are good (ShowTime, Nerchio), but they are not at the Korean level. Snute can easily lose to them, but when he plays the Koreans, he somehow switches to the higher speed and is able to sometimes beat them. I can't say that about any other top foreigner.

Snute still hasn't won something TL considers a Premier tournament since 2012. Such a shame.

People do not want to think, to be rational, to have solid grounds for things ; they want gambles, randomness, unexplained stuff that leaves room for magical/supernatural interpretation. Why do you think RNG games have such success? How is it logic to put a foreigner #1 tho, Stephano is retired
