Ever since PGTour first saw the light at 11th January 2004 it has had the ambition to become the biggest and the fairest ladder in the StarCraft scene. Competing with Blizzard's own is fairly easy; competing with WGTour was tougher. Now, PGTour is the most popular ladder with a total of 271149 members and 4344354 games played. As WGTour's ladder is down for the moment and looks to be for a while now, GosuGamers will thefore focus on the players at PGTour. As usual in these reports, we give you the Top 20 non-Korean players. However, the number of top players in the community is not so easily found.

As you can see, there are lots of unknown players in this list. GosuGamers tried finding out some of the players with the help of ToT)Midian(, but he said that the top players of today don't play that much of PGTour anymore. He thinks that PGTour is on the decline.
- Koreans like competition, they have to practice hard and a lot of the MOTWs are not very suited to their playing needs says MidiaN. There are not many of the maps that the Korean players like to play, for example new pro maps or very old ones. We asked him if he knew any of the non-Korean players in the list.
- I don't know them this season because this season very few good players are playing, he says. According to MidiaN this is a really weak season, and that changes are needed for it to become as popular as it was before.
The best ranked non-Korean is actually at the 2nd place overall, and he goes by the name of 3D.WhiteRa[SG] (picture). The Ukrainan Protoss player has played a total of 242 games, and is a couple of points ahead of FT.aCt)Love. He is a former progamer from Korea, who goes by the name of SaSin)yeOn. He has moved to United States as a student. We also see the Taiwanese Supertrapp, who is rumoured to be ToT)SEn(. This is not fully confirmed, though almost everybody believes it's him. Over at TeamLiquid, in their "Who is who at PGTour" thread, rumours say that LindL is ToT)Xiaozi(. FrenchPower, a Terran player from France, should be rS.SarenS according to many.
Do you know any of the real nicks behind these players names, feel free to write it in the comments of this newspost.
