(for zvt) good as it may be, i dont think any z outside of korea has had good enough zvt to dominate even the top non koeans for years, so him losing to a foreign terran isn't that big imo :\ | ||

Still a bit of an upset, just imo  | ||

Xiaoxi - For example, the kid has not even been active as of late (though I am not sure about WGT/ICCUP CL) and he can still play well. A year ago he was a real monster and could easily dominate on Artosis/Strelok/Idra and so on. His activity seems to be alot less since teh TSL but I think he is still a real threat, WCG Canada would have been nice this year. 2. Paranoid/Gosia - His ZvT has always been very interesting to me if you have ever seen his games against Idra from two seasons ago in WGTCL (there was a huge drama on GG.net about it, but they werent taken down since the games were good) you would know he is a very good Zerg. I think he could beat Strelok/Idra/Artosis/Yosh easily, not that they couldn't do the same though. 3. Dinot - This kid is a real monster, after watching quite a few of his reps and his TSL games I have really tried to emulate his style somewhat when I play Z. IIRC he raped Idra in the TSL and only lost to fucking Nonys monstrous PvZ. His ZvT is definitely on level with most foreigners TvZ, Strelok would definitely be hard for him. There are a few other Russian Zergs who put on a good show as well, n4u, Dimaga (Ukr i think),and so on. I dont think there has been a one sided matchup consistently prominent in the foreign scene for that long. | ||
