Man, whoever writes these arcticles for TL definitely doesn't know much about the European scene and is very biased towards Koreans. I really want to enjoy these articles, but it just doesn't work out.
I know the european scene and think there are no "big" mistakes in there. Which points are throwing you off?

does waxangel have to be so...critical? I know, your beloved esport is fading before your very own eyes, but seriously dude.
The way you talk frequently talk about players is I think pretty harsh. What gives you the right? Besides jerking off TL x years ago when you got this gig?
Do you even have 100 games played off sc2? I would own you in any best of series and I have no idea how much you play, just that you are retarded for the way you pretend to know about players. All you have is the fact sheets and you just throw an opinion along with it; quite sad coming from such an esteemed TL.
You think they would be able to find someone who is actually passionate. Not a burnt out old fart who is completely groggy and delusional, at best.
Toodles!

You have some formatting problems at #14-15-16
Cheers. I hope Sase and Sephano win it all. Sase with the harder braket ;-(.

If Stephano would choose Goody ... that would be kinda BM wouldn't it?
I hate how people always under rate GoOdy. He beat Stephano in the Battle of Berlin and lost to Nerchio in the finals. If you made that statement about Nerchio vs GoOdy then I would say you are right - he's beat GoOdy in something like 14 consecutive times in tournament matches. Nerchio is to GoOdy like GoOdy is to Cloud (of course Cloud never wins vs GoOdy is my point).

Pretty accurate TL I must say ^^ A lot of them being entirely correct and in many other cases the player have chosen another player of that race.
Some picks are also really weird, like Sortof, I have no idea why he would pick First. He is known as an ZvZ expert (for good reasons) and zerg has overall good results against terran... and then somehow he chooses a top Korean Protoss...

Seems whomever wrote the post draft is still living in 2011 where every tournament was top 15 Korean. Hey TL you might want to look up the last 5 months of tournament.
The attitude l8tly on these forums remind me about the Iraqi Infomation minister!
![[image loading]](http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/images/07-minister.jpg)
WE ARE STILL GETTING TOP 15 IN EVERY TOURNAMENT.
WE JUST GOT BAD LUCK AND BAD MAPS!

It's funny that it turns out that there is only 1 mirror matchup xD

I agree, I don't know why the article gets so much criticism.

Very impressed with the results of the draft. I loved the write ups as well. I'd like to point out, under the Stephano section, you refer to his ZvP as ZvT twice in a row. Just a small typo.
|
I love how the writer shits all over Sasquatch. If you followed the scene beyond tournament streams and the Day9 Daily, you'd realize that he is the next Scarlett to come out of the NA scene. But hey, ignorance is bliss, right?
|
For how hard it is to get them all right when even one player deviating from your predictions screws the whole thing up, this was fairly close to what happened. I'm really impressed by your accuracy.
|
I'm calling it here, QXC is going to beat Stephano. He has time to prepare for him, he has all killed a Korean team, and Stephano probably won't prepare for QXC specifically.
|
Stephano picking Goody would have been terrible, he lost his last series vs him when he was godly in ZvT. Goody's style is pretty good vs stephano and they have pretty even record against each other.
|
it will be fun to see if any ''picked'' players will beat their pickers:D

Yep I also agree. I dont follow every playhem or other smaller cups, but I think I have pretty good knowledge of the eu scene and there arent any big flaws in it. Ofc there is always room for discussion.
But I love the writeups. This and the power rankings are my favourite content on tl. Keep it up !!!

Well, compare Sasquatch to the other 15 picked players. He's unrecognizable, and the second I saw him matched to Alicia, I sighed inside. Fact is, if you aren't making a splash in the scene within popular tournament streams, you're going to be sniped by the best.
If you have any Sasquatch VODs, I'd love to see how well he plays. He'd easily stomp both of us, but do you think he's really in the leagues of Alicia, SaSe, or PuMa?

Man no offense to Scarlett, but when you use her as an example of someone good to compare to, it just seems silly. Because the NA scene is really dead. I'd love for anyone in the NA to have a shot at Code A but that boat has sailed many moons ago.
The logic for when you're trying to show someone being "good" should be:
1. Will that person do well in code A (make it past code B qual, then make it past Ro48)?
If yes, do that.
If no, that person is no good.
Sucks the level of competition is so high, but code A really should be the bottom bar for "good". Considering we have at least 32 top class players ahead of that bar already.
