Results for July 1 – July 14, 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, and players on Korean teams are ineligible.

Sen !!This Taiwanese legend didn't participate in much this past couple weeks, but it happened to be an extremely impressive performance in the largest non-Korean event in SC history. Not only did he manage to do this, he did it in style. He didn't luckily dodge the tough players to make it through the bracket, he destroyed them. Along his path, he took down the ZvZ monster
Zenio, Alive-slayer DarKFoRcE, and had MC against the ropes in a series that had spectators thinking "Wow, Sen just outplayed MC in 4 out of 5 games, how did he possibly lose?!" After getting knocked out in the RO4, he took the Legendary July down in the 3rd/4th place match. Afterwards, he played a showmatch against another legendary player in White-Ra, and took him down as well. What an amazing run by an amazing player. Bonus:

Nerchio !!Naturally, the Polish powerhouse Zerg appears once again.
Nerchio performed well, but perhaps not up to his normal standard, taking 'only' 3 medals this time around. He won both a Gigabyte Cup and a Zotac Cup, and placed 3rd in TL Open #18, with the distinction of being the highest placing non-Korean player. Total Prizewinnings: ~$305 USD
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/players/1602.jpg)
mOOnGLaDe !!Taking home a bunch of medals this past couple weeks is Australia's premiere player. He won two Go4SC2 SEA Cups, Mwave's SEA invitational, and placed 2nd in a SEA Master's Tournament. While this is an impressive lineup of medals, his wins were only among the limited competition of the SEA server. The players of the SEA server are certainly no joke, but it would be more impressive for him to post results outside of this realm. Despite this,
mOOnGLaDe has certainly once again proved himself as the King of SEA.Total Prizewinnings: ~$420 USD
Third+ Show Spoiler [Third] +
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/players/1221.jpg)
GoOdy !!The always-active Panzer General posted his typical strong results this past couple weeks. He smashed through the PolarfluKe tournament, took the runner-up slot in the SK Champion's Trophy and a Gigabyte Cup, and placed 3rd in a Close Combat Cup. In addition to this, he 3-0'ed Complexity's
CatZ in a showmatch event. The tanks keep rolling out and the wins keep rolling in for this consistently excellent beast of a player.Total Prizewinnings: ~$570 USD
Runner-Up+ Show Spoiler [Runner-Up] +
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/players/1693.jpg)
Kas !!The Ukrainian Destroyer showed a return to his online gold-hoarding ways for this edition's tournaments. He powered his way to the top of the podium in the newly created XMG Cup, a Gigabyte Cup, and Europe's SK Champion's Trophy. He additionally slew
CatZ in the 'vs. Europe' showmatch series and narrowly escaped victory in the under-covered Intel Challenge SuperCup. What an absolute beast. Total Prizewinnings: ~$880 USD
Top Dog+ Show Spoiler [The Top Dog] +
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/players/1996.jpg)
Stephano !!Holy domination. The 'Wrecking Ball' lived up to his nickname in his recent performances, gathering 4 impressive gold medals.
Stephano proved himself the champion of France by acing both the Medion Trophy tournament, as well as the 'Masters des Jeux Vidéos' tournament. With these wins, he raked in a TON of cash and prizes, supplemented even more by placing 3rd in the LDLC Summer Trophy event, and in winning two Gamecreds Cups. Stephano has been awfully busy collecting barrels full of medals and cash, and the amount of events he's taken in this short time is quite impressive. One may argue the level of competition in participating in France-based events, but I can assure you that his competition wasn't anything to scoff at in these, nor his online cup wins. It's great to see this talented player assemble such an amazing string of victories, along with this edition's distinction of being the Top Dog!Total Prizewinnings: ~$7,825 USD
