I was worried about this being interpreted from my post, so allow me to justify my claims. Essentially, nobody thought JF was weak - not at all, everyone was picking him as Ro8/Semis material but i dont think anyone seriously considered him a winner for this event. So while he is fairly strong, he still is an underdog to take the event from other huge names. The poll reinforces this really;
Draco (1329) 34%
Brat (594) 15%
NonY (524) 13%
Dreiven (463) 12%
IefNaij (457) 12%
White-Ra (288) 7%
DinOt (149) 4%
GOsia (119) 3%

I for one am glad that we get more honest answers from some of the players. I'd prefer Draco tell us that he doesn't practice if he really doesn't, adds drama and it's being honest. Same with Idra. If he honestly believed he was top 4 material I'd like to hear it. What's the point of having interview questions like "What do you think of your opponent?" and "What do you think your chances are?" if you expect every player to answer with variations of the same damn thing. "My opponent is really strong, I'll do my best. <insert comment about luck>" and "Too hard to make predictions, but never over 50%" being the typical answers. If they are really modest people, fine, no problem with that. It characterizes them a bit and we get a good mental picture of the kind of person they are. Like we all associate Mondi with being really modest. However, quit bashing players that actually answer the damn questions how they honestly feel.

If you want everyone to be modest, just copy paste Mondi's interviews a few times and change some names. I almost want someone to say "The rest of these guys aren't on my skill level, this is going to be easy." just for some damn variety and to make things interesting. Having a villian around makes things more interesting.

That said, I'm rooting for Brat as the last Terran representative. All of the remaining for 4 are awesome though so I won't be disappointed no matter who wins.

the gg.net forums are insane. when those guys are talking about nony, they immediately resort to this wild anti-american nationalism. it's like they're so caught up in their own national biases that they don't even acknowledge america for the superior nation that it is.
