Tournament Roundup - Aug 1-14 2011

Results for August 1 – August 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!

Total Prizemoney: ~$166,741 USD (+ Prizes!)

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]
(T)GoOdy !!

The always consistent Panzer General managed to expectantly make his weekly rounds, cleaning up a 4pl.de Cup, a Gigabyte Cup, PolarfluKe's August tournament, and a 2nd place finish in the 4th XMG Cup. (T)GoOdy performed decently in the IGN Proleague, ending up tied for 9th place. Not a bad set of results, but it's unfortunately not enough for the hero of consistency to break past the staggering amount of huge event winners this past couple weeks.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$1,568 USD


[image loading]
(T)Tarson !!

This Polish underdog has really begun to shine lately. If you're not impressed with (T)Tarson yet, you certainly should be. The only gold he managed to snatch up was at a Gamecreds Cup, but he additionally showed some solid overall performances, placing 2nd in the ZOTAC Monthly July Final, 4th in the European Battle.Net Invitational, and placing in the middle of the pack in the highly competitive IPL Season 2. (T)Tarson continues to prove he's not a 1-hit wonder, continuing to take huge matches off of elite players.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$3,032 USD


[image loading]
(T)ThorZaIN !!

Now ripping it up in Korea, this Swedish powerhouse Terran still made a splash outside of it. The reigning TSL champion barely evaded the finals of both the European Battle.Net Invitational and IPL Season 2, finishing 3rd and 4th respectively. With two solid results in two of the highest caliber events in the foreign scene, it's comforting to know that this elite Terran is representing foreign pride in the GSTL.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$7,000 USD


[image loading][image loading][image loading]
(Z)Ret, (T)SeleCT, and (T)MajOr !!

Meet the three champions of the Battle.Net Invitational events held this past couple weeks. Each of these guys took home a whopping $10,000 as well as an invite to the always-exciting Blizzcon tournament. (Z)Ret hammered through Europe's event, also grabbing a nice 7th/8th place finish at IPL2. (T)SeleCT dominated the North American event, and lastly (T)MajOr slayed his fellow Latin Americans to take the top slot in his region, as well as additionally winning a small Xel'Naga Tour event. Be very excited to see these guys clash at Blizzcon this October!

Total Prizewinnings: ~$11,000 / ~$10,800 / ~$10,050 USD


[image loading] Third
+ Show Spoiler [Third] +
[image loading][image loading]
(Z)DIMAGA and (P)White-Ra !!

It was too hard to choose between these two Ukrainian Starcraft Gods. (Z)DIMAGA rolled through Assembly Summer 2011 while (P)White-Ra did the same in IGN Proleague Season 2, never falling to the loser's bracket. It's downright silly to see massive wins of this proportion to be down here in the 3rd slot, but take this as a testament to how absolutely sick the lineup of performances have been this past two weeks.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$11,572 / ~$16,000 USD


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

While it's not surprising to see the roundup's mascot show up once again, I had no idea he'd be anything more than a mention this time around. (Z)Nerchio valiantly battled his way through the loser's bracket of the IGN Proleague Season 2, falling to Ukrainian badass (P)White-Ra in the final. Despite barely falling short in this endeavor, he handily knocked (P)White-Ra out of the European Battle.net Invitational. While this seems like a decent run already, what you probably missed among this amazing lineup of events was the fact that (Z)Nerchio sneakily took down the insanely competitive Monthly Final events of BOTH the Zotac Cup as well as the Go4SC2 Cup. If that wasn't enough, he also finished 2nd in an additional Zotac Cup. This kid never fails to impress.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$12,440 USD


[image loading] Top Dog
+ Show Spoiler [The Top Dog] +
[image loading]
(P)MaNa !!

I'm probably going to get a little flak for this, but hear me out. This Polish Protoss monster finished top 3 in both Assembly (2nd) AND IGN Proleague Season 2 (3rd), the two clear largest events that took place recently. No other player came close to doing so. These aren't 8-man invite tournaments, these are full-scale battlefields where only the best of the best compete. Let's take a look at his victims from these two events in series play: (P)HuK, (T)NaDa, (T)SjoW, (T)BRAT_OK, (T)Fenix, (T)ThorZaIN, (T)Jimpo, (Z)IdrA, (Z)DarKFoRcE (twice). Having only lost BO5 series matches in the final rounds of these events, he barely dropped each of these in a close 2-3 war against the eventual champion. Also, while it seems almost insignificant, it should be mentioned that he also snagged the runner-up spot in a Gigabyte Cup. Just a cherry on top of his performance as this edition's Top Dog!

Total Prizewinnings: ~$11,822 USD

Wow! Biggest pool of money yet? Nerchio must be getting a very respectful amount of money.

I wonder if his team gives him a good salary. If so, he is getting even more.

Nice Write-up, but I think Ret should have made it at least into the honorable mentions (And he also is not in the statistics).

Nerchio's gotta be earning now more than his parents combined :D

Anyway, great writeup! I hope a bit to see a yearly, or half-a-year roundup.

Nerchio should tie with Mana for #1 if it wasn't for his offline performance jitters, he's so good, such a shame he gets nervous. I can't believe Stephano wasn't in the honorable mentions though >=O he plays like a boss.

Holy shit that's a lot of money this time around, but then again the Blizzard invitationals did add $30,000 just for first place prizes and however much more for the rest.

Also, White-Ra with $16,000, not bad for two weeks.

Wow so many big tournaments ending at this point. Glad to see White-Ra and Dimaga get a podium place!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Very nice to see MaNa in the top spot. The kid deserves a lot of praise for his recent performances, and it's really unfortunate that he doesn't have a big win under his belt. Here's to hoping that'll change at the IEM Cologne and he'll evade the cursed kong fate.

God Nerchio is an absolute beast he must make so much money with his team supporting him already along with the tons of prize money he gets in only 14 days. Also I'm glad SelecT finally won a big event. Who woulda thought Mana would rip apart everybody

Yep, the NASL set of 2 weeks is 2nd with 136k. What makes this 2 weeks so cool is that not only is it the biggest, it's not just one huge event that's carrying all the cash.

MarineKingPrime.we also won a south pacific tournament worth 5k against nGenMaster. TvZ Sadly no link to show tournament. Huge prize pool that mkp won easily. 2raxed 2xs didnt even need a bunker.... it was sick micro 2raX expand both times... he had fully teched up on two bases while microing 4-6 marines and killed the zerg both times with just the marines it looked like a very easy way to win 5k.

To be fair, the blizzard invitationals are like 80k by itself :p


Definitely a good sign that the foreigner scene start to consistently beat Korea in prize money payouts.

Heh, I guess you're right. They are kind of the 'same' event, but since they all happened separately I guess it's deceiving

wow im just impressed by mana, he said he was playing mostly pokemon and not practicing sc the last time.
So imagine how good this guy could become by fully practicing in a korean style teamhouse, or is even the lightness with which he takes the game what makes him so good?
i dont know man, but what i know is that he is just awesome and fully deserves this.

ah and i miss kas there at these top spots, maybe he was too busy with laddering xDDD

So many different people winning big tournaments. Mainly cause the US / EU and LA blizzard invitationals so that boosts the price pool by a lot!

Feels like the Dimaga win was so long ago but it was just 2 weeks ago. Feels strange

Goody needs to get better mechanics-- I don't understand why he keeps winning tournaments. Nerchio is a boss, and poor Hwangsin keeps getting 2nd
