For comparison, August had 260k and July 192k. But September didn't have any big events.

We need sustain growth though, not just peaks here and then.

Is nerchio satisfied (enough) by these online wins? I kinda have this feeling, he's making allot of money from them so he don't need LANs.

I hope I'm wrong as he's never going to make a true breakthrough internationally by just winning online tournaments.

Just because the community only notice LANs

, I personally don't care all that much online or LAN, just good games

I'd like to see Nerchio start participating in more (and hopefully placing in more) LAN events. He's wrecking the online tournies, I'd love to see more of him.

I liked the "icky performances" in IdrA's little write-up, hahaha. I'm glad to see Greg playing better and I can't wait to see his improvement after his next stay in Korea.

I would have put Idra at #1. Not saying he's better or worse than Nerchio but as far as results go quality>quantity and live>online.

Well I am not sure that is true exactly, also it comes down to how many big tournaments are held that month and MLG has not been putting hardly any money on the table for the players.

Next year thou is when it all really kicks off.

He is not satisfied don't worry. He was mentioning how he can't wait to play huge competition. He will however continue with his studies in the near future so I'm not sure how much he will actually focus on going pro in SCII.

He will be at the Battle in Berlin and ESWC Grand Final in the very near future however where there will be some TOP competition (especially Battle in Berlin).

I'm not being accusatory, just asking a question:

I always see people calling Nerchio a maphacker (obviously not here) because of the disconnect between his online and LAN performance. Is there any truth to this or has he beaten good players offline before? I'm just curious because it's pretty rare to see a player who does so well online yet has never really done anything at LANs and it's not like hacking is something pro players have never been caught doing (hello BW!).

He isn't interested in MLG because of the Open Bracket format.

There is no disconnect. He has done well on LAN. At Global Challenge Cologne he won his group without dropping a map (defeating Tarson, HuK and Moonglade, 2-0). The only reason he was knocked out was because he played PuMa (the champion).

He won WCG Poland over MaNa and Tarson also on LAN. Placed second at SEC losing to ToD in a close 3-2 match. He beat ToD earlier in group 2-1. He also beat aTn.DarkForce, NightEnD and others in this tournament.

What disconnect? He has performed on LANs you just haven't been awake
