Results for May 1 – May 15, 2011


Greetings and welcome to International Tournament Roundup! Sick of wading through countless threads, posts, and articles looking for recent SC2 tournament results? The TeamLiquid International Tournament Roundup is the one-stop shop for all of your tournament result needs, and it's coming to you twice each and every month.

Don't be fooled, the GSL is great, but there's a massive amount of talent outside of Korea. Foreign juggernauts are battling it out in epic games, and in epic tournaments, on a daily basis. After all, our boys have more than proven that they can compete.

Who's the current top dog outside of Korea?

Please note that if an event is not listed, it is likely because it either didn't make the prizemoney cutoff, or results were simply not properly recorded in public view by tournament administration. Don't blame me, blame the event admins. I can't do their job for them. Thanks!

Top Dog

There's a ton of powerhouses outside of Korea, but who's this edition's top dog? Let's take a look at which players have posted the most impressive results over the past 2 weeks.

Note: This isn't a simple prize-money or medals ranking. It is based upon a combination of overall player performance, quality of competition, significance of events won, money won, activity, and my most sincere attempt at unbiased subjectivity. It only considers performances in events which concluded within this period.


+ Show Spoiler [Honorable Mentions] +
[image loading]
(P)HasuObs !!

Becoming quite a regular in these, this amazing player performed far beyond what many expected in the PokerStrategy TSL3. He took down favorites (P)HuK and (Z)MorroW, and slayed the Emperor himself, [image loading] (T)BoxeR. (P)HasuObs also took home a Sennheiser Cup, as icing on the cake.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$1,640 USD


[image loading]
(P)SaSe !!

Thanks to his amazing performance in the 'Road to Korea' tournament, he's going to Korea to compete in GSL. (P)SaSe went 10-1 in games (5-0 in series) in his group including powerhouses (T)ThorZaIN and (Z)LaLuSh. He eventually went on to defeat both (P)Bischu and finalist (P)NaNiwa to steal the tournament. (P)SaSe put a halt to (P)NaNiwa's 35 BoX series winning streak in defeating him. Despite the disappointment of many due to his win over the favorite (P)NaNiwa, (P)SaSe's stellar performance is without a doubt worthy of his prize. I look forward to cheering this guy on in Korea, and you should too!

Total Prizewinnings: ~$2,350 USD


[image loading]
(Z)Nerchio !!

Up until now, (Z)Nerchio's primary strong performances in lesser cups have been featured here, but this time around he's done something better. If you have any doubts about this guy's skill, do yourself a favor and take a look at his recent Pokerstrategy Call4Kings performance. (T)Strelok 2-0, (Z)MorroW 2-0, (P)TT1 3-0, in addition to crushing several other opponents. He didn't drop a single game. In addition to this, he just barely missed out on both a Zotac and Competo Cup win. It wouldn't be the honorable mention category without (Z)Nerchio, but he certainly has the potential of taking the number one spot in the future.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$1,135 USD


[image loading] Third
+ Show Spoiler [Third] +
[image loading]
(P)NaNiwa !!

This dominant Protoss beast barely evaded victory in two epic tournaments this past two weeks. He was just one game away from stealing the Pokerstrategy TSL3 Final, and he similarly evaded victory in the 'Road to Korea' tournament. This seemingly unstoppable force, off of a record streak of 35 consecutive BoX series wins, marched to the final on the shattered pile of dreams that [image loading] (Z)Ret, (T)GoOdy, (P)CrunCher, and (P)HasuObs left behind. Despite his inability to grasp the title, there's no doubt that (P)NaNiwa's recent performance solidifies him as one of the best Protosses in the entire world.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$7,000 USD


[image loading] Runner-Up
+ Show Spoiler [Runner-Up] +
[image loading]
(Z)IdrA !!

As it seems long overdue, [image loading] (Z)IdrA finally makes his way into this ranking with his commanding victory in the first season of the IGN Proleague. Never actually dropping into the loser's bracket, the Gracken tore through an impressive lineup of (T)Fenix, (T)Drewbie, (P)KiWiKaKi, and (T)SeleCT to make the final. He met the loser's bracket revival of (P)KiWiKaKi in the final, once again smashing the strong Canadian Protoss. In addition to this performance, he beat up fellow Zerg (Z)Sheth in a showmatch event. I have no doubts that [image loading] (Z)IdrA will return with more massive tournament wins in the near future.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$2,700 USD


[image loading] Top Dog
+ Show Spoiler [The Top Dog] +
[image loading]
(T)ThorZaIN !!

When I think of this player, all I can manage to conjure in my mind is "Oh my $&#!ing god." If you haven't watched the Pokerstrategy TSL3 Final, go. Now. The quiet mannered (T)ThorZaIN seemingly feeds off of the stress and pressure of important matches, bringing out impeccable performances worthy of Starcraft legend. We will be talking about (T)ThorZaIN's TSL3 performance for years to come. When we introduce someone to Starcraft 2, we will show them the TSL3 Final VODs with pride.

He was the underdog against the GSL Champion [image loading] (Z)FruitDealer.
He was the underdog against foreigner legend and defending TSL Champion [image loading] (P)Tyler.
He was the underdog against 2x GSL Champion and arguably best Protoss in the world [image loading] (P)MC.
He was the underdog against TvT beast and top European Terran (T)Kas.
He was the underdog against MLG Champion and best performing foreign Protoss (P)NaNiwa.

He is (T)ThorZaIN, he gives players nightmares, he may have the best TvP in the world, he is the TSL3 Champion, he is no longer the underdog, he is the Top Dog!

Total Prizewinnings: ~$15,000 USD

So the top 3 are more for bigger wins than smaller, consistent wins? Just wondering, I'm new to this.

It depends. Both are considered, but naturally larger tournament wins carry a lot more weight. It's based upon strong performances in quality tournaments, not prizemoney or number of golds.

If you're interested in the methods further, you can PM me or go check out some of the previous editions of the roundup.

Is there not going to be a late May Edition?

Also 50k is half a month is impressive (although many of the big tournaments started in April and are just finishing up)

Ahh, I see what you mean... The next edition covers the 2nd half of May, but will be coming out somewhere at the start of June.

Perhaps I should change the wording of that up a bit.

Just curious about Naniwa vs Idra.

Right now it looks kinda stupid that Naniwa with 7k in winnings, 2nd place in two big tournaments, including the gigantic TSL which has been running for months and months now if you count the qualifiers, and the insane 35 win streak is somehow below Idra because Idra won an invite only tournament of 16 players...

I'd love to see the math on that one.

Can't count his 35 BOX win streak, as it didn't occur in the past two weeks, and it does directly relate to 'results' anyway. The rank is based on results, as this isn't a power rank. It simply ranks them on performance within tournaments which concluded in the past two weeks. Additionally, prizemoney isn't considered nearly as much as quality of competition and performance. Once again, if you'd like to discuss more, feel free to PM me.

Thanks for this wrap up so many names keep popping up each week - maybe progaming is financially viable?

Congrats to Nani, IdrA and Tzain - it has been a big month for those 3

I did PM you (no response as of yet), but I don't see why in a thread ranking the players based on various tournament wins, we can't discuss who did better in said tournaments overall deserving a higher ranking.

Replied! Discussion is certainly fine, I just didn't want to go into methods and/or mindlessly argue over such things here.

I disagree with the top dog pick. He only won like 2 best of five/sevens this month to get it.

I'm not saying he's not an amazing player but maybe the TSL is weighted too heavily.

Great tournament summary though. Very nice to skim through.

The problem with giving them to the people with the 'most' wins is that it would go to Europeans who just play those weekly low-prize money tournaments every round-up. Frankly, the highest level of competition isn't at those tournaments and whilst they are pretty good, I find that Thorzain/NaNi/IdrA's achievements to outstrip anyone elses. The order is arguable, but it doesn't really count for anything at the end of the day, right?

Spot on, bennyaus.

There's a method to the madness, but it's certainly a little subjective as well. =)
