Has Neeb been competing in Code S, and how has he done there? he didnt get through the qualifiers, lost 2 times to Hurricane who later knocked Scarlett out :D

Is there anyone that doesn't miss Polt? there are quite a few who think he's arrogant, and who was just an average korean terran who was lucky to have a visa, etc

After this set I will go have a glorious shower.

Seems a bit like an overstatement from Artosis to call him the best foreigner there has ever been then, if he hasn't even managed to qualify for the most competitive tournament.
He won the Kespa cup though which was in Korea.
There are arguments for everything

but i personally find his playstyle interesting to watch even though people found it sloppy and simply un-pristine, and was wondering if anybody else did and missed his presence in blizzcon, etc

I'm pretty sure you can't call Neeb anything other than the best foreigner unless you want to go down the SC2 isn't competitive now everyone sucks route.

To be fair, I dislike Polt less than gumifail & ByuN. There, I said it.

Neeb even failed to qualify for one of the WCS events, and had to go through the open bracket.
Zest also failed to qualify for the GSL Neeb lost to Hurricane in the qualifier for.

There is definitely an argument for that considering that out of the 4 WCS events, only 12 differents players got to the ro8.

That was back in 2010 / early 2011, when he mentioned that he thought he could beat Jinro in the GSL, and then lost to him.
