Same race match up is always the easiest match up to recover skills. ZvZ hasn't changed anything for like more than 10 years. Same for TvT and PvP. I don't think it's right to compare only one specific match up "TvT" to differentiate how strong i was and how strong firebathero was in 2013 or 14. Meta has somewhat changed, I also improved more on TvT(It's my weakest). Also, firebathero is a known player who was a monster at TvZ and TvT in KeSPA Scene. Memorable TvT match from firebathero is fbh vs flash on Neo Medusa. Proleague Ace match up I believe. In addition, NaDa is like a 2nd generation dominant after Boxer, and he won against Last many times and ahead of score in this year. Will you say that NaDa is better than Last? Probably not a lot of people would say in that way. Sometimes I'm surprised with those somewhat non-sense comparison from TL comments lol. Way too different thoughts from KR | ||

I also hope both russians players will be able to go to Italy, visa problems are so common especially for russian residents. Luckily for this event, Russians have 1% of rejections on Schenghen visa (that's extremely little compared to visas to other countries, including US, Australia, UK etc). So i think its going to be fine, if its requested in time. | ||

I believe that this will be a good tournament and in the end eOn will probably be right about the fact that the foreigner will play out the second place, but it will be a nice tournament nevertheless. | ||

Again if you might read my posting, you would actually recognize that I actually agree with you that FBH will probably cruise through that tournament, but you make it sound like it would be the eigth world wonder if FBH lost a game at that tournament, which is just not true. | ||

Theory: There were upsets in WCG, therefore there could be an upset in this ESL Supporting points: - FBH is weaker than the Koreans from WCG Counter points: - The foreigners are also weaker - This tour is likely worth more (dollar wise) to FBH than WCG was to the top level Koreans - There are fewer events for FBH to focus on, he can actually spend a couple hours to see what might be coming his way - Since 2004, only 2 foreigners have eliminated Koreans from WCG, those were Androide (TvT) and PJ (PvZ) I'm not saying it's impossible, just unlikely. The only chance is if Foreigners train a ton and FBH takes for granted that he's going to win (who knows... Maybe?) | ||
