I felt it when Cloud said he wasn't happy with the way the games went.

Yeah, I agree.

Its hard for anyone to be polite and straight-faced when you just progressed past a famous player into the finals, but to be THAT polite and THAT sincere is really really cool of him.

@zurg

If you are able to read German you should read the interview on fragster.de
He is quite an arrogant one, but he played well in this series.

Wow this is surely a huge upset. Everybody expected Demu to take the finals with relative ease but his play looked pretty vulnerable in many situations (both against Cloud and Goody). I would like to know how his preperation was in advance of the tourney because Cloud stated that he played like 14 hours recently and was very active overall, whereas it was pretty quiet about Demu, apart from an unfortunate DH. In contrast to other progamers Demuslim seemed to have focussed mainly on the EPS so ending up as 3rd should leave him disappointed.

Speak for yourself there.
Its not like Demu dominated the recent tourneys he played in.


On another note, they finally need to take on the problem with casters being heared by the players. That was an issue on every big lan tournament except GSL.
Demu said he actually heared how the casters said "proxy rax". And it seems he was so fair to not instantly react to that by putting a bunker (he said that). But then he was so confused about how he should react that he messed up in the end.

Its totally unacceptable how this shit interferes with the games.
Off-season = best season

I think the commenators need to take an example of Hasu who avoided to spoil. Knowing about the problem it was not exactly smart to cry out loud MAKARAX!!!

He actually said in a DH interview (linked below) that he hasnt been playing much of late, not been practicing in the run up to DH more than a few hours a day (if that) and so on.

I didnt expect him to be on top form, and so I thought he wouldnt win but maybe would make top 3 of 4 - so in that respect I guess you get what you deserve. Obviously TvT is pretty random or luck based, but I guess if Cloud worked his ass of specifically preparing for this, and demuslim was somewhat on a low point of his training there is no big upset.

@ resilve: well then the timing for not playing a lot was pretty suboptimal, considering that DH and EPS were the biggest events for him and besides that he did hardly play weekly cups etc.

One thing I like about the eps though is that the two players that brought in the most effort in the last months were rewarded by making it into the grand final.

Demuslim is a great guy and a great player but actually i'm happy for Cloud that he is doing good. It was a huge step for Demuslim to come to Germany but compared to Cloud i feel like he had much more (or better) support from his team(mates). Cloud doesn't have a teammate at his place anymore, is in a foreign country and it seemed like he had a rough time at the start of the season and now he puts up such a good show at the finals ( games vs socke were sick), handeling all this on its own, much respect for that.

Man, I agree!

Im a massive fan of demuslim, but I was just explaining to the guy who claimed it was a big upset - that actually he is out of form a little bit atm (compared to his potential) and I guess even he would recognize that. If ClouD has been training really hardcore for this EPS final, then its no upset that he wins - well played to him.

I 100% believe that on his best form, ben is as good as anyone in the entire world and easily in the top 2 terrans in europe, but you wont win these mirror matches without having nailed the most up-to-date trends and being fully confident in your play (I guess).

He is putting himself over all the korean terrans and doesn't even answer the question involving HuK, showing he isn't really accepting him as a good player.
Overall in my opinion he seems to be quite arrogant when talking about other players. The previous part wasn't that way.
