I'd like to see in Cologne Artosis or Yosh since they are probably the only american players in this tournament I get along with [image loading]

The competition will be very tight and I don't think anyone is in the position to list a favourite. I'm especially pretty sure Idra Nony or G5 won't show as much skill as everyone is expecting. Machine could be a surprise of course and he might ending up first as well if he has a super good day. Whatever happens it will be extremely fun to watch since those guys practice together a lot and know each other style very well. Winning USA WCG is always an incredible accomplishment not just because of the high skilled top players, but because these players strongly feel the competition to be the best in their nation and they constantly play to surpass each other.

It's very odd how Poland, USA or Ukraine never send enough players to grant them a solid chance to get a medal in this game. I do really feel sad for the players who don't make it to the finals because I know there is a lot of them who deserve it.

its funny you say i can be a surprise when i have like never beaten you lol

A couple of years ago I heard about a rule WCG had that said no player could represent more than one country at the WCG grand finals, does anyone know if there is any truth to this, if so, Yosh may be disallowed to compete in the finals if he wins as he represented Canada in 2001

You're a little off. The rule is that a player can't try to qualify for the WCG Grand Final for more than one nation. IE, in Yosh's case where he has dual citizenship, he couldn't play in both the USA and Canadian finals hoping to qualify for the grand final in the same year.

Since Yosh is both a canadian and an american citizen, he CAN compete for either nation on any given year, but he can't try to qualify for the grand final from both.
