Bunker Rush FTW. :-P.

I wouldnt mind something that resembles BlizzCon. That was a very good idea and it turned out well.

Even if Drone gets Nada and picks zerg, there is absolutely no way, regardless of what kind of queen usage, that he'll pull of a win. This is the same Nada that beats July 3:0 in OSL final. This is the same Nada who has a winning record against every single pro gamer zerg in Korea (MAYBE except for JJu). Sure, an upset is always possible, but chances of that happening is right next to none.

I'd like to see:

Nada vs Drone (Already many nada vs PJ reps out there)
Yellow vs Fisheye (Best shot at beating a korean?)
Ra vs Sen (Nobody is going to do great vs P but gl to sen)
Reach vs PJ (PJ will get raped but he would vs any others too)

Nope. Hopefully island map in this duel : - ]

I read the UZOO post, and I doubt it this is the true lineup. Because I just don't trust UZOO news yet. More importantly, I never read any foreigner's name except for Androide and PJ, and don't know where SEN or fisheye came from... =[

as if i wasnt allowed to speak about fisheye. i didnt even praise him or anything i spoke negatively about him.. saying hes no chance vs yellow..


but he totally deserves to go there, after like being a top foreigner with good success for 3 or 4 years..

ya you are wrong Sadist, SEn ZvZ is his worst mu and vs one of the best ZvZ on the world it will be a short rape -.-
I wanna see PJ vs NaDa, FiSh vs YellOw, Eri vs Reach, SEn vs rA.
Why ? Cuz it will be the best games available ;-)
Its not important if foreigners have 'better chance' cuz its only theoretical, and if Ra is weakest @ PvP so it doesnt mean that FisheYe will have better chance to win ^.^
i hope for good games, and mu as i mentioned before can guarantee some -.-

I think they should have picked...

Androide (2nd WCG, how can you not pick this guy??)
Fisheye(Already there.. rather see this German than boring as shit Mondragon)
Blackman(Fun to watch)
PJ/Sen/Drone (Flip a three sided coin.. :D)

Koreans it doesn't matter but they really should try to get Boxer!

About the contestants chosen: yeah they may not be the absolute best skill-wise, but I, personally, think that's great. I may be alone here, but when I think of a showmatch I don't think of getting the aboslute best and having them go at it like a championship, I think of it as a chance for all the people involved to show-off their abilities. And the best way to do that is to take the most dynamic, innovative people(at a high level of skill) and pit them against each other. We have tons of leagues and ladders that give us games and vods and reps of the greatest players in the world going at it toe to toe playing the game as it's been refined to be played.

I mean, personally, I get somewhat tired of seeing mondi v x zvp where both players play flawless zvp/pvz. I want to see two players go at it where there is no way to know what's coming, no standard play, long-ingrained counters, and bo's to execute. I want to see eri do his muta+queen infest rush, I want to see scvs ensnared and lurk dropped, I want to see fisheye pull off any number of totally retarded builds that work.

For my money, the foreigner line-up is a good one, though for my own dreams I would love to see satanik there because of his playstyle. Fisheye, satanik, eri, pj; that'd be a great lineup, don't you think? Not the greatest foreign bw has to offer, no. Arguably none of them would be there in that case. But for a showmatch, can you think of a different group that has more to offer in the way of sexy strats pulled off to perfection against the best of the best? I can't.

I know you're in love with FisheYe , but he's not an active part of the community right now (he only practices hardcore before important events).

I guess it's about acknowledgement. Poland has been top3 non-korean country for almost 4 years now. 3 prestigious events hosted by Blizzard, a couple of controversial picks and no Polish player.

I never had much recognition and am pretty inactive, but come on, who wouldn't like to see Blackman there? Draco's been doing very good for the past 2 years also.

norway has had some of the best players and as has been said many times everyone loves eri

blackman is inactive, draco hasnt really done anything recently

You cry so much about Poland

But the main reason for sure is that sponsors are not interested in Poland or Russia. They don't need to advertise in underdeveloped poor markets. They look for gamers from germany or US etc.

If it's about accomplishments the list would be otherwise except for PJ ?
If the list was made by accomplishments the last year following players would emerge:
Androide #2 WCG
Advokate #1 TLT, 1# Some-invite, Top 16 WCG
PJ #2 Replays.net, #1 mYm-invite, #4 GGL1
Ex #3 Replays.net, #2 mYm-invite, Top 8 WCG
Assem #2 TLT, #1 GGL1
Testie #3 TLT, Top 16 WCG
Legionnaire #3 WCG

Basically counting these tournaments since most of the best foreigners particpated in each of them. I dont think there's been other noteable ones. Three russians all placed among the top 16 players at WCG, and has over the years had even higher percentage of qualified players from the groups than mighty South Korea, yet they still seems to be ignored in events such as these.

Can someone tell me what Mondragon(HE BEAT REACH DOH!, Legendary beat BOTH Kingdom(imo it wasnt a draw) AND Boxer offline) has done other than being invited to Blizzcon, and winning some German-only LAN-events ? Imo Fisheye hasnt done that much either other than his top 16 @ WCG, well he did get top 8 TLT. SEn got top 16 @ WCG as well, but I dont know what else he's done. Dunno what Eriador has done.

Accomplishments doesnt seem to matter much though, but popularity does. Which is a good thing because then I'd be entertained instead of watching games I can see every week in OGN StarLeague VODs. I have huge expectations for this events, and hoping for some Nada Barracks Sex again

Eh, Mondragon won ECG (beat androide in the final) 2004
Was in the first TLTour final.. Won tons of Giga Leagues.

And I'm not really THAT informed about what fisheye has done, but I do know he always does well in tournaments (most recently, finishing second in the Madrid LAN).

Reach has the biggest chance to lose against a foreigner, but only if that foreigner is zerg.

Eri has the biggest chance to beat any of them just because of the way he plays. His builds leave him so far ahead or so far behind that playing against him is really a cointoss, especially zvt.

course 2 games don't mean much but these two games means he's certainly practicing sort of seriously which makes me glad to see.

when magic~phil (for instance) says something like "go fisheye", instead of other people actually cheering for fisheye too, they fucking get offended cause their idol wasn't mentioned at the same time.

GO FISHEYE! (and the others~~)
