Idra, Nestea, Ret, Haypro, and Fruitdealer.

Zenio is a maybe option.
the farm ends here

I can't believe that Day9 and Wheat haven't done ANY research on this "unknown " player.
He's been Top 200 EU since September. Consistently HIGH in the EU Top 200 rankings.
He's not even always a Protoss player. Someone in IRC said he's random. If you check his Bnet profile, his most played race is shown as Terran. His Top 200 rankings change between at least Terran and Protoss (don't know about Zerg).

He's not an "unknown", he's not "come from nowhere", and he might not even be a protoss player.

Even a tiny bit of research would expose these things. Slasher even informed Wheat that he used to be a War3 player, but apparently that's not been mentioned.

Zeerax has been playing SC2 since the beta. He's got 3600 ladder games. He's probably played Strelok quite a few times before.


He is beast, he's somewhat new to competitive play, but he's even played in some competitions before, and has some references on various competition websites, and an entry in the TLPD as well.


You do realize that there are countless tournaments run weekly and expecting anybody to keep up with each and every player who does well (or doesn't and just ladders a lot, which you seem to imply) is ridiculous. Further, even if he was "known" in wc3, having him be an unknown makes a better narrative.

Hope July gets an invite. Ret + IdrA are locks. July, Nestea, Fruitdealer, Zenio, and Haypro fight for the remaining 3 spots.


Wheat and Day9 commentate 3 matchups, with 4 players total in those matchups.
1 of those players is a relative unknown. I'm not saying they should watch and know everything about everyone, but 5 minutes research could give a little background.
Maybe people like thinking someone's a total new underdog come from nowhere, but that's totally misrepresenting Zeerax in my opinion. Someone with 3600 ladder games who has been top 200 consistently shouldn't be described as some kind of unknown come-from-nowhere person when it's not an accurate representation of him, even if the "narrative" is better.
HOLY CHECK!

I would think that they would at least invite one oG zerg.

what are you talking about?? its an obs first build. It's a response build.


I'm not talking about harassing mineral lines or cloaking, but using banshees in regular pushes. His AA lacked and FF's do nothing to air units. Yeah, he could get stalkers, but considering he had 0, even warping them in would've been close. I realize the obs first is a response build, but streloks response should've been banshees.

Everyone really thinks haypro will get the inv? He isnt nearly as accomplished as other zergs out there. Idra, Fruit, Nestea, Ret, and Zenio imo.

He is an unknown if you have to do some research to find out about him. Nothing wrong with that though. Glad to see good players pop out each week.

Zeerax actually also doesnt scout until he has his Robo. And he has low APM. Protoss-Sjow anyone?

I like Zeerax style, he plays exactly like me. ^^


LOL that's true... he's the toss version of Sjow.

Although many of the mods and admins absolutely hate the guy. The likelihood of IdrA not playing in the TSL would be him breaking one of his arms and elbow like Demuslim or doing something incredibly stupid. He does a lot of stupid stuff, but him to go way over the line before the tournament starts is highly improbable.

I don't think anyone on staff hates Idra. Despite our differences I have no hard feelings against him what so ever.

Haypro will probably get in just because he's sponsored by TL, even though there are obviously more accomplished foreign zergs. But we'll see shortly.

Anyways, while Zeerax's build could be countered by banshees and/or mass marines, the fast robo ensures an easy transition to stalkers and/or colossi. I like it, it seems a solid alternative to warpgate expand esp. since Terrans do not seem to ever rush ghosts.


Yeah, like I mentioned earlier. He gets a obs first and then its basically a response type build. He can basically go anywhere with it. People saying that his "build" can be countered haven't been watching closely enough.

Really, anyone making a guess who leaves out idra, hayder, or ret, just aren't grounding their guesses in reality.

Liquid is not going to leave out one of their own members, especially since he can't, according to the rules, attempt to qualify in the opens. As for idra, he's one of the most popular and polarizing foreigners. He's getting an invite.

As for the last two, it's anyone's guess, but I have my money on nestea and zenio. FD hasn't been playing very well lately in my opinion, and I have a feeling the oGs connection trumps a TSL1 win because of that.
This is well below quality expected of a post in any forum. -Empyrean
