MKP definitely needs to win in front of a crowd to shake the kong status. I mean, it's often said in the comfort of his own home on ladder he's unbeatable but in tournaments he falls to pieces. MLG winter PPV thingy was a happy medium between the two, but he still needs to show the kind of personal strength that DRG can show. I like how they talk about Ret for the entire Stephano blurb. | ||

It's particularly funny because Polt hasn't actually changed much as a player. His clicks are still slow but efficient, his marauder micro allows him to be awesome at TvP, and his marine micro makes him excellent at bio TvT but somehow not that great at TvZ. Hm, Polt has changed IMMENSELY as a player. All the things you mentioned are true, but he used to be someone who never went above 2 bases to someone who expands non-stop, to the point that his supply and base count often keeps up with Zerg opponents. He's gone totally late-game macro. | ||

We watch more than just EU starcraft too. While I watch the EU scene religiously, most of the people above your German Protosses have had wins against Koreans, or impressive international tournament runs recently. Not so for Hasu and Socke, although, of course, they've been training hard. | ||

Probability to win MLG Winter Championship: To include this, we'd actually have to take seeds and groups into consideration. Though we've loosely included these players' abilities to perform in a short, weekend long live tournament, details specific to this particular tournament have not been considered (seeding, jetlag, etc). I'd love to see anyone who starts in round 1 of the Open Bracket go far. Just an amazing feat. Does anyone know if Stephano's position means he starts in round 1? Remember White-Ra's epic MLG: falling to the loser's bracket in the first round but eventually making it all the way back to the championship bracket in a massive endurance run of something like ~30 matches over the weekend. | ||

Not so for Hasu and Socke, although, of course, they've been training hard. Hasu beat Jookto and Luvsic in IPL Team Arena and FXOTree and QuanticApocalypse in NASTL. Just saying, TLO's wins might've been against a bit more prestigious opponents, but it's not like Hasu hasn't beaten any Koreans like you said. | ||
