Great article! I hope for Scarlett vs Major finals  Axslav has such awesome opinions, he seems to know what he's talking about. Ver is just absurd haha saying Canada's team isn't stronger because "Canada may have better quality but is definitely outnumbered and may simply lose to random luck". Trolling with "Foreigner terrans are irrelavent"? Great moments hahaha + Show Spoiler + "Axslav: Myself Sheth: Me;;; Ver: Sheth, without question." + Show Spoiler + Ver doesn't think they are a threat because both Major and Maker (their best players) are foreigner Terrans  "How big a threat are the Mexican players, minus MajOr? Axslav: Maker might win a game or two but really Major is the only favorite to make top 8. Sheth: I have no idea about any of the Mexican players except MajOr and Maker, and I think only MajOr is a real threat. Ver: No threat." | ||

Statements like reinforce the fact that foreigner is bad term as it includes europeans, chinese and americans. Kas, thorzain and major have all proved they can go toe to toe with koreans, and no one knows a thing about chinese terrans bar loner who pops up and does reasonably well against koreans then dissapears but if they are anything like the chinese protoss and zerg there is bound to be a few that can stand up to koreans. Alot of NA bias in some of the answers, scarllett doesnt really stand a chance against the top euros, kas pretty much played with her in their show match, players like stephano, nerchio thorzain would have similar results I feel. NAbias from 3 NA players, really? lol nice writeup, but as stated mixed up sheths answers at the end | ||

The Chinese scene just is not that good. They can't pirate the game and it requires better computers than other games, so the Chinese are less interested in StarCraft 2. And to be honest, aside from ThorZaIN and MajOr, foreigner Terrans are pretty irrelevant. Kas occasionally will put up a decent showing but foreigner Terrans just do not have that good of results. And as much as I hate to say it, Scarlett and MajOr both can and possibly will take down some top Europeans. Not Stephano, but against players like Nerchio, ThorZaIN, and Kas, they could take a series off of them. I don't think I would say that Scarlett and MajOr would be favored against all of those players, but depending on the maps and the performance of those players, they definitely could beat them. | ||

I hope he does really well (Again) so people finally take notice  GOGOGO INSUR!!!!!!It's interesting you write that because when I was writing the intro, I thought, "Wait, hasn't Insur done something recently?" but I couldn't remember what it was, Liquipedia didn't jog my memory, and I didn't include him. Can't wait to see how he does. | ||

Scarlett especially I think can stand up to any of the europeans and even many of the koreans. Sheth: Oh, we are super dead. We are actually either vampiric or zombielike. But either way, we are definitely dead. Ver: NA has a lot of strong Zergs and many foreigner Zergs have shown the ability to compete with Koreans. Scarlett and Suppy in particular have displayed very respectable performances against great players from Europe or Korea. There's no reason why NA can't turn some heads and put up a strong fight. Hahahaha silly Americans, always so optimistic, you will be crushed under the might of a united Europe. Jk, the top Americans should at least show good play at the final events, and guys like MajOr and Scarlett may be able to take a few games from some of the Koreans. | ||
