Great writeup about all the participants though. I'm all about the free HD on week 1 so I guess I'll have to tune in tonight! | ||

P.S. it's only a good looking girl in the back of the text (pretty faded), how does that bother anyone? | ||

I think the acceptance of esport is greater there than in Germany. Maybe its the long winters, I dunno. Second, define "real wrecking machine", because the ones you named from Poland are very similar to the best germans. Nerchio is by all the hype around him an extreme strong and active online player, who needs to back up his results in major lans. His showing at IEM Cologne was good, but thats not enough to put him above players like Socke or Hasu. Actually Goody fits Nerchios description pretty well. Mana is on fire lately, no doubt about it, but he is overall not better than Socke. Going by both results and skill, they are on the same level (although Socke earned a good chunk more price money, because he is more consistent over a longer time). Right now, Mana has the edge in TvP, while Socke is a little bit better against Zerg. Their Mirror is dead even, which was the reason for their extreme close bronze match in Cologne. Hasu is not far behind both of them. Poland is very strong and with Tarson and Diestar on the same level as Germany, which is amazing going by their population size. They build together with Ukraine and Germany the second line behind Sweden, which as said above stands at the top. Surely I am just a single person, who has just a subjective view, but I would rate MaNa over Socke at this time, because he had major achievments more recently. In one month, he finshed Top 3 in 3 Premier Tournaments, beating players like Idra,ThorZain, HuK, NaDa, Puma. Socke is more consistent in raching top finishes for over one year, but in their current form I would give MaNa the advantage. Also Nerchio just looks unbeatable at times. He 6-0´d his group at IEM and was only stoped by the winner of the Tournament.He made it through the IPL-Losers brackes, winnig 8 Bo3/5 in a row. When I see those two performing, I just have the feeling, they could beat anyone at anytime (maybe except MvP/Netstea or Bomber). When I see top Germans plying I just think: "Well, there good". Don´t get me wrong, I know that there are many good players in Germany, but I see Poland on the same level and given the fact, that Poland has just 1/4 of Germanys poulation, I had to defend the opinion, that population and amount of talent in SC2 are not (Don´t know the english word, "proportional" in german.) | ||

Probably too hard for them to concentrate on the text  .Haha really I don't get it either, if anything it made me way more excited to watch more of NASL this time. | ||

i understand its the NORTH AMERICAN starleague and the elite of NA has to be a part of that but world elite is something different and certainly not Vibe cruncher TT1(not anymore) inka tyler incontrol or axlav in my opinion most of them will just get horribly annihilated while players like nerchio goody happy adelscott tarson are just sitting around at home waiting to destroy all of them idk ....

Germany has been the European example of how population and GDP don't seem to have any relation to Starcraft skill kidding? that sentence and after that names like: Socke, TLO, HasuObs and Darkforce? | ||

the guy who wrote this got no clue and should get another job.comparing a strong sc-nation like germany with the USA... 1.its not about a GDP or the population.its all about the amount of players who do it fulltime.its not a provocation but the truth:the ukraine is one of the poorest countries in europe.all players can do it fulltime and 90 percent of all german players still go to college.if all of them would do it full time they would be better than the ukraine immediately because germany got the highest amount of players in europe. 2.germany took a LOT of bo3s against the ukraine recently and germany was the country with the highest amount of players in the NASL and won the european nation war. 3.a country like the UK would rock at sc2 as well but they are more into console-games.the brits dont have less skill in their blood you know? its not about the general population its all about the population who plays intensively 4.im so pissed about toplists where people only compare the top 3 of each country.you gotta compare 5 or 10 at least.so poland isnt there anymore...although i hate to say it because im half polish. | ||
