Yesterday, TheBloodyDwarf asked me about the Croatian SC2 scene. To be honest, I didn't know much about it. Did some research and here it is!!!
The Croatian National SC2 team #IMadeThis

Our national team was founded in prehistoric times - in the beta, when an exceptional young man under the nickname of Reiko decided to take matters into his own hands and organize a national team. As time went on, they played some nation wars with pretty good success, but with the release of the game a lot of people stopped playing and there was a change in the team.

So slowly we come to the present day, and our nationl team has the potential to do something every now and then.

TEAM CAPTAIN:

Reiko (more recently known as "the skunk"

The good old Reiko. A man who is not known to the scene because he is not primarily a player, but a leader. Although Reiko is one very interesting guy who has his faults like anyone else, and even though not everyone always agreed with him, his leadership has so far been very good, and the national team has had some nice wins. Let us hope that his experience and good decisions lead the team new victories.

TEAM ROSTER:

BeyondLimits

Race: Terran

Team: N / A

Has his roots in BW, where he was quite a successful player who has played in several major teams that then existed. In SC2 continued with good games, and he remained faithful to the Terran dominance. A man of few words, but a lot of playing, although he had problems with activity lately I have no doubt that he would be motivated by the WCS region lock to come back to individual leagues

deny

Race: Terran

Team: Starcraft Freaks Clan

Deny is one of the most popular players in our country, and with good reason. Great guy, Charisma, was recently in two major tournaments where he gathered experience that will undoubtedly help him in his new challenges
He has a WC3 background, where he was the top player. Although the change to starcraft was difficult, he accepted the challenge and in a short time became a great abuser of terran being OP. Recently, during the Protoss dominance, has barely played the game. (most people in Croatia hate Protoss)

Gravity

Race: Protoss

Team: Starcraft Freaks Clan

Gravity is one of the newer faces on the scene, as far as I am aware comes with a WC3 background. Has made great progress, which he proved by playing equally with other members of the team. Definitely has potential.

HighArt

Race: Protoss

Team: Starcraft Freaks Clan

Also one of the newer faces, but definitely worth it. HighArt showed his skill several times, very solid protoss player who can keep up with anyone at the same time and leads team SFC which is quickly becoming a respectable team with good players.


Ptak

Race: Zerg

Team: Microgamerz!

The famous Ptak, man you either love or hate, but one thing is certain: there is potential. Began in BW, where he was one of the best foreigners, going to WCG 2010 grand finals in South Korea, Advancing from his group in to the bracket stages.
His only two losses in the tournamet were to Flash and Kal. The eventual finalists of the event. In sc2, he quickly found his feet again going to WCG 2011 grand finals, but failing to advance from his group (Huk, Snute, Morrow, Ptak - he only beat Morrow). His ID is actually a typo - he wanted to type "patak", which is "a duck" in Croatian. If he had done that, he would have gone the ways of Duckdeok, I beileve >.>

Never heard of any of them except HighArt. I have saw his nick somewhere ~

Power Rank / Preview by H8
+ Show Spoiler +


16. (P)Classic - GSL winner taking the last spot, yey! If he didn't face half of his team in GSL season 2, he wouldn't be here at all. And semifinals in Kespa Cup after beating Rogue and San before being destroyed by Zest, aka the only worth-mentioning result for the whole year.. Well, not really impressive for supposed number 13 in the world. And hey, he is facing Polt in the first round - the guy with best TvP in the world. Sorry Classic, you will be out of the tournament very fast.

15. (P)MC - Another Protoss GSL winner! Although MC showed some good results throughout the year including winning the WCS EU season 1 and three second places in different events, he has a serious problem - abysmal PvP. Like 40% against top Koreans, that sucks. And it sucks even more that MC is facing herO in first round. Remember Sao Paulo? I sure as hell do!

14. (P)StarDust - And another Protoss. It seems like I don't like the race or something. StarDust actually won the second season of WCS EU and played some overall good Starcraft in 2014, but he is not the guy who would you bet on to take the whole thing. He will maybe cheese through the first round, but that's all. Neither he isn't the top guy here, nor isn’t he dark horse of the tournament. He is just here somehow, someway to play one round of Starcraft.

13. (T)jjakji - When jjakji moved to Europe, I expected (as many others) that he will stomp the tournaments left and right. Unfortunately, he didn't win a single premier tournament since his GSL win in 2011. He will probably face the two Protosses in the first two rounds of the tournament and given the fact that his TvP is really mediocre, I don't expect very deep run.

12. (Z)HyuN - Placing worst semifinals in all three seasons of WCS NA is sure impressive, stomping Taeja and Polt in them is even more impressive. But unlucky guy, that HyuN is. Bomber took the first place in WCS rankings five minutes before midnight and poor HyuN got as an opponent no other TvZ monster then INnoVation. If only he was on the other side of the bracket, I would have faith in him. Now, I really don't have any.

11. (Z)Life - GSL semifinalist in season 1 proceeded to win Dreamhack Bucharest and then disappeared. Emerged in IEM Toronto where he went on somewhat good 13-1 + one draw streak just to be stopped by Zest at the semifinals. Luck of the draw was very fortunate for Life and so he will face Zest again. Life in monster mode wasn't enough to break the so-called "best player in the world" and I have bad feeling that Life isn't currently in his top form.

10. (T)TaeJa - Summer already ended and we all know that without summer Taeja is just one of the many average Terrans. But fanboys gonna fanboy so I will put him above jjakji, but it won't made any difference. TaeJa is soO done in first round!

9. (T)Bomber - Ok, ok. Let me say something first. Bomber is on fire like nobody else in tourney, he probably well deserved the first spot in the rankings and he is winning all tournaments on American soil. But there is this thing, you know, called Bomber's Law. So many people expecting him beat Jaedong, going into the finals and taking the trophy and so so many tears will be shed on November 1st..

8. (P)San - San has kind of consistent year in terms of results. Few first places in smaller tournaments, six semifinals or better placements (including 1st place at ASUS ROG) in Premier tournaments. But I think San is missing the final piece of the puzzle, to be the best of the best. You cannot just win the biggest stage of the year by having one matchup ridiculously great (PvZ), one mediocre (PvT) and one coin flippy (oh Dear finals in Helsinki vs Stardust finals Cologne). There are possibly three PvZs on his way, but it seems that San won't see any Zergs from player perspective.

7. (T)Polt - Captain America is ready to save his home ground. Or is he? Let's have a few facts. Polt is facing Protoss in first round (Classic) and second round (herO/MC) and he did beat all three of them before, also having statistically best TvP in the world for some period of time now. He may have what it takes to eliminate all the Protoss scrubs, but only 1 tournament win from 7 major+ semifinals in this year doesn't make him the real contender for throne.

6. (T)MMA - Another Terran who is recently on fire. After taking a "Dramhack" in Moscow and WCS EU season 3, MMA is standing strong as currently best Terran, maybe even best player, representing Europe. He may as well get easily through first two rounds, but his weaker matchup is TvP and is highly probable that there will be Protoss waiting and preparing in semifinals for our handsome looking European Korean. At least MMA won all three semifinals of premier events this year, so he has this going for him.

5. (Z)soO - Sorry, no second soO joke today from me. There is no doubt he is the best and by far most consistent Zerg on the planet right now. That said, he is also the guy who never won a premier tournament. As I am not personal fan of soO, looking at the harder part of the Blizzcon bracket, I have to acknowledge his power. He is force to be reckoned with. Jokes aside, he is one of the three players, who will not surprise me at all, if they make it to the finals.

4. (P)herO - I guess there is a good reason that he is massive aligulac favorite to win the championship. After perfect start of the year, he fell, but rose again in the right time. Second in Kespa Cup and semifinals in Dreamhack Stockholm are not as impressive as two first and one second place IEM from the earlier this year, but he is getting in the shape in right time. herO dodged a harder half of the bracket and if he does not fail in first rounds because of the PvP, he is obvious pick for the finalist from the upper bracket.

3. (T)INnoVation - After sort of meh year, he finally won a GSL title for his belt and thanks to that, he qualified for Blizzcon in last possible moment. He also returned back to KeSPA team, indicating that he want to rule in Korea as he did at beginning of HotS. Machine is now back, starting with his favorite matchup - TvZ. As funny as it is, he can face all four Zergs in tournament, but he does not need to rely on that. Bogus proved he is world class in every matchup and if Terran should seize the title, it would be him.

2. (P)Zest - KT is the best KT! Zest is the best! By terms of accomplishments this year, he is favorite to win Blizzcon. Zest won GSL, GSL championship and KeSPA Cup by playing only PvP, also ridiculed SKT1 by all-killing them and won Proleague. Therefore Blizzcon is the only relevant tournament left to be won by Zest. His only "weakness" seems to be PvT, but lack of really good Terrans besides INnoVation in tournament plays into the hands of handsome Protoss. He is coming for that championship!

1. Once upon a time in distant land called Brood War one Zerg was born and rose above everybody else. He was killing legends left and right, sown destruction everywhere he went and he was equaled only by the God himself. Unfortunately terrible disaster hit a land of Brood War and many residents died. Those who survived moved to the new land, now called Starcraft 2. Our Zerg, now revered amongst his bretheren, struggled for survival at first, but he proved he is capable of surviving, that he is capable to adapt. As he climbed back to the top of the food chain, most terrible thing happened. The curse from the legends struck him and struck him hard, but he kept fighting relentlessly. But the curse was stronger. First in Jönköping, then in Valencia, Santa Monica and Cologne. Still he refused to give up. But then came Anaheim. He successfully took wings from the King, Roach burrowed himself through Protoss Royal Roader, Frosted young Terran prodigy, but in the end it didn't matter. He was tricked by the former clanmate. Legends were true, he realized. Even unstoppable force can't break the curse, so he gave up. He gave up himself into silent darkness of void...

But a genius idea came into his mind. If he can't break the curse, he can pass it to somebody else. Because there must always be a Zerg Kong. But is there some Zerg worthy? He smiled maliciously.

They think he is weak now, that he is lost, that he doesn't have it anymore. But they are wrong. He is prepared as never before, he is prepared to return back from the void to take what is rightfully his - being the very best.

There is no sOs to trick him. God is lost between mediocre. The Kong curse has passed to another poor Zerg. There are just fifteen naive mortals, who dream about money, trophy and championship. But there is that one beast who found them, one monster who brought them all to Anaheim and will in the darkness bind them. One Zerg to rule them all.

The Tyrant, (Z)Jaedong

#IMadeThis and I'm proud of it.

EU passion! Hype!


Well...

- Classic have 86% WR against T and he is the highest in this MU
- MC have 57% in PvP during the whole season
- HyuN have 68% WR against T. He is not out
- Jaedong have 11% WR against Terran...

Going for

- Jaedong < Bomber No way JD can kill Bomber right now
- StarDust > MMA I see this going for 3-2
- MC < herO Not sure if MC can rivalize with a KespA protoss. Not sure about this one.
- Polt > Classic Another one i'm not sure. Polt is killer TvP. Classic is killer PvT. But Classic is SKT so...
- San > jjakji Like 3-0
- Zest > Life KT BEST KT
- soO > TaeJa No way TaeJa have the level of soO
- HyuN > Innovation No one plays like HyuN and he is reallly good against T. At first i thought Innovation would evicerate him but now.... i don't see it

Power Rank / Preview by H8
+ Show Spoiler +


16. (P)Classic - GSL winner taking the last spot, yey! If he didn't face half of his team in GSL season 2, he wouldn't be here at all. And semifinals in Kespa Cup after beating Rogue and San before being destroyed by Zest, aka the only worth-mentioning result for the whole year.. Well, not really impressive for supposed number 13 in the world. And hey, he is facing Polt in the first round - the guy with best TvP in the world. Sorry Classic, you will be out of the tournament very fast.

15. (P)MC - Another Protoss GSL winner! Although MC showed some good results throughout the year including winning the WCS EU season 1 and three second places in different events, he has a serious problem - abysmal PvP. Like 40% against top Koreans, that sucks. And it sucks even more that MC is facing herO in first round. Remember Sao Paulo? I sure as hell do!

14. (P)StarDust - And another Protoss. It seems like I don't like the race or something. StarDust actually won the second season of WCS EU and played some overall good Starcraft in 2014, but he is not the guy who would you bet on to take the whole thing. He will maybe cheese through the first round, but that's all. Neither he isn't the top guy here, nor isn’t he dark horse of the tournament. He is just here somehow, someway to play one round of Starcraft.

13. (T)jjakji - When jjakji moved to Europe, I expected (as many others) that he will stomp the tournaments left and right. Unfortunately, he didn't win a single premier tournament since his GSL win in 2011. He will probably face the two Protosses in the first two rounds of the tournament and given the fact that his TvP is really mediocre, I don't expect very deep run.

12. (Z)HyuN - Placing worst semifinals in all three seasons of WCS NA is sure impressive, stomping Taeja and Polt in them is even more impressive. But unlucky guy, that HyuN is. Bomber took the first place in WCS rankings five minutes before midnight and poor HyuN got as an opponent no other TvZ monster then INnoVation. If only he was on the other side of the bracket, I would have faith in him. Now, I really don't have any.

11. (Z)Life - GSL semifinalist in season 1 proceeded to win Dreamhack Bucharest and then disappeared. Emerged in IEM Toronto where he went on somewhat good 13-1 + one draw streak just to be stopped by Zest at the semifinals. Luck of the draw was very fortunate for Life and so he will face Zest again. Life in monster mode wasn't enough to break the so-called "best player in the world" and I have bad feeling that Life isn't currently in his top form.

10. (T)TaeJa - Summer already ended and we all know that without summer Taeja is just one of the many average Terrans. But fanboys gonna fanboy so I will put him above jjakji, but it won't made any difference. TaeJa is soO done in first round!

9. (T)Bomber - Ok, ok. Let me say something first. Bomber is on fire like nobody else in tourney, he probably well deserved the first spot in the rankings and he is winning all tournaments on American soil. But there is this thing, you know, called Bomber's Law. So many people expecting him beat Jaedong, going into the finals and taking the trophy and so so many tears will be shed on November 1st..

8. (P)San - San has kind of consistent year in terms of results. Few first places in smaller tournaments, six semifinals or better placements (including 1st place at ASUS ROG) in Premier tournaments. But I think San is missing the final piece of the puzzle, to be the best of the best. You cannot just win the biggest stage of the year by having one matchup ridiculously great (PvZ), one mediocre (PvT) and one coin flippy (oh Dear finals in Helsinki vs Stardust finals Cologne). There are possibly three PvZs on his way, but it seems that San won't see any Zergs from player perspective.

7. (T)Polt - Captain America is ready to save his home ground. Or is he? Let's have a few facts. Polt is facing Protoss in first round (Classic) and second round (herO/MC) and he did beat all three of them before, also having statistically best TvP in the world for some period of time now. He may have what it takes to eliminate all the Protoss scrubs, but only 1 tournament win from 7 major+ semifinals in this year doesn't make him the real contender for throne.

6. (T)MMA - Another Terran who is recently on fire. After taking a "Dramhack" in Moscow and WCS EU season 3, MMA is standing strong as currently best Terran, maybe even best player, representing Europe. He may as well get easily through first two rounds, but his weaker matchup is TvP and is highly probable that there will be Protoss waiting and preparing in semifinals for our handsome looking European Korean. At least MMA won all three semifinals of premier events this year, so he has this going for him.

5. (Z)soO - Sorry, no second soO joke today from me. There is no doubt he is the best and by far most consistent Zerg on the planet right now. That said, he is also the guy who never won a premier tournament. As I am not personal fan of soO, looking at the harder part of the Blizzcon bracket, I have to acknowledge his power. He is force to be reckoned with. Jokes aside, he is one of the three players, who will not surprise me at all, if they make it to the finals.

4. (P)herO - I guess there is a good reason that he is massive aligulac favorite to win the championship. After perfect start of the year, he fell, but rose again in the right time. Second in Kespa Cup and semifinals in Dreamhack Stockholm are not as impressive as two first and one second place IEM from the earlier this year, but he is getting in the shape in right time. herO dodged a harder half of the bracket and if he does not fail in first rounds because of the PvP, he is obvious pick for the finalist from the upper bracket.

3. (T)INnoVation - After sort of meh year, he finally won a GSL title for his belt and thanks to that, he qualified for Blizzcon in last possible moment. He also returned back to KeSPA team, indicating that he want to rule in Korea as he did at beginning of HotS. Machine is now back, starting with his favorite matchup - TvZ. As funny as it is, he can face all four Zergs in tournament, but he does not need to rely on that. Bogus proved he is world class in every matchup and if Terran should seize the title, it would be him.

2. (P)Zest - KT is the best KT! Zest is the best! By terms of accomplishments this year, he is favorite to win Blizzcon. Zest won GSL, GSL championship and KeSPA Cup by playing only PvP, also ridiculed SKT1 by all-killing them and won Proleague. Therefore Blizzcon is the only relevant tournament left to be won by Zest. His only "weakness" seems to be PvT, but lack of really good Terrans besides INnoVation in tournament plays into the hands of handsome Protoss. He is coming for that championship!

1. Once upon a time in distant land called Brood War one Zerg was born and rose above everybody else. He was killing legends left and right, sown destruction everywhere he went and he was equaled only by the God himself. Unfortunately terrible disaster hit a land of Brood War and many residents died. Those who survived moved to the new land, now called Starcraft 2. Our Zerg, now revered amongst his bretheren, struggled for survival at first, but he proved he is capable of surviving, that he is capable to adapt. As he climbed back to the top of the food chain, most terrible thing happened. The curse from the legends struck him and struck him hard, but he kept fighting relentlessly. But the curse was stronger. First in Jönköping, then in Valencia, Santa Monica and Cologne. Still he refused to give up. But then came Anaheim. He successfully took wings from the King, Roach burrowed himself through Protoss Royal Roader, Frosted young Terran prodigy, but in the end it didn't matter. He was tricked by the former clanmate. Legends were true, he realized. Even unstoppable force can't break the curse, so he gave up. He gave up himself into silent darkness of void...

But a genius idea came into his mind. If he can't break the curse, he can pass it to somebody else. Because there must always be a Zerg Kong. But is there some Zerg worthy? He smiled maliciously.

They think he is weak now, that he is lost, that he doesn't have it anymore. But they are wrong. He is prepared as never before, he is prepared to return back from the void to take what is rightfully his - being the very best.

There is no sOs to trick him. God is lost between mediocre. The Kong curse has passed to another poor Zerg. There are just fifteen naive mortals, who dream about money, trophy and championship.

I would argue about statistics anytime and anywhere, but no matter what I do, I won't get to these numbers.

According to that JD has 38% winrate and he is top16 in WCS points.. This is not reliable at all and also consider games from WCS. No DH no IEM no nothing else, and JD got his point from anywhere expect WCS. Also he has 0-0 JvZ games.
Better check aligulac, or even check his games.. his recent form in TvZ is around 38%.. still very low.. but man.. is not 11%.

Also if you want to know who is the best PvT, you will get herO, not Classic. check these stats, you will be much closer to see the real picture: http://aligulac.com/periods/latest/
