I think it probably means he writes and it goes "Well, I don't need to edit that piece of succulent prose, writing it is editing enough in itself".

Didn't Scarlett say she was going to Valencia?

Edit: wow, that's a pretty awesome video.


scarlett and nerchio pulled out like a month or two ago

That is unfortunate, was really looking forward to seeing how Scarlett would have done against non-NA players. Did they give a reason or just pulled out?


Acer stated that it was due to overlapping schedules.

http://www.aceresport.com/uk/news/653.htm

Strange. Unless Scarlet has stuff to do -- which I dont really see a major thing on the schedule of upcoming events -- I'd think she was free. I guess flying someone out from Canada to Spain and then putting them up in a hotel for the weekend is pretty expensive but still...couldnt she have just used some of her WCG NA money for that? Anyway too bad, it would have been awesome to see her play against at least semi-legit opponents.

nah, stephano not lose to koreans ^^

Taeja has lost one BoX TvZ this entire year. ONE! He is 52 - 11 (82.54%) TvZ against koreans...
No matter what form Stephano is in Taeja is a favourite against any zerg player.

Stephano is probably the second best player there, but he'll need at least one miracle to beat Taeja.

Good read. I like these recent in-depth pre-tournament articles a lot. Keep it up Teamliquid!
Also I feel that one foreigner besides Stephano will make a deep run in this tournament, just can't say which one

As much as what you write is factually correct before the conclusion, I feel that designating 'having a good day while opponent has a bad day' is slightly underwhelming for a miracle.

That depends on the frequency of your opponent's bad days

I hate you so god damned much for putting in that WCG 2008 link. That and the game 2 climax were the most frustrating part of my life.

Doesn't mean I do not wish for Moon vs Grubby though, would make for a good final.

No, Dreamhack Valencia is not a much more interesting tournament than WCS Europe. Except, perhaps, if you're a TL writer who likes to see his team winning. That takes Korean participation.

Maybe I'm a raving fanboy, but to me this preview has the air of Stephano antipathy. He just cemented a year long run of being the strongest foreign player by reaching the no. 1 spot for dollars earned in 2012 and the 4th overall through all of SC2 history. He is dominating the players he practices with to a degree no Korean player has done and he seems as good a prospect as anyone for the title as best zerg in the world. He has kept the ball rolling for a year. What other players can claim that? MVP? MKP? MC? DRG? That's good company.

And what is the summation? "Yeah, he's okay, but he totally finished 9th at Raleigh!" (behind 8 Koreans, true, but ahead of 16..). That's taking cherry-picking to the next level.

*Besides that, as always, thanks for the effort in writing an interesting preview ^^
