Holy guacamole (see what I did there)! Gratz MILL for taking down the new COL lineup. Hopefully stephano can participate in more and more tournys, however, the rate he wins tournies/improves depends on his school effort?(dont quote me on that).
Either way, GG MILL!
BTW COL, Great new lineup, better luck next week!

col should just go with Catz + Drewbie as a 2v2 team, that's what they're really good at.

Doubt Drewbie was available to play seeing as he wasn't put in for the 1v1s.

Mill is very good, dunno if they're the best team in the league player-wise, but still very impressive.

Just watch the vod of game 1... Funny that Idra is saying that Root was extremely top heavy with Kiwi as a lone ace and the rest of player well below him. The same could be told about EG ^^

So?

That's what being an Ace means.

Kiwikaki was the IdrA of ROOT for example

A lot of teams have one


Ya i would have to say most foreign teams have only one S class player, with the rest being a bunch of A and B teamers. Not enough foreign talent at the very top of the pool.

Not really, EG and ROOT seem to be the biggest offenders.

I think teams like Dignitas, Mouz and Empire (why aren't they in this league?!) have solid overall lineups.


Dignitas has naniwa and select

The other teams are European and have a bigger pool of talent too choose from.

If all the top Na teams put out their best players on one Team it would be basically Empire's level >_>

I wish we had more top players


Disagree completely, empire is a solid team, but not at the level of say dignitas & mouz, the top NA players would easily be a better team than them with players like Major, Idra & Kiwikaki.

Lol I bet even the Dignitas and mouz players would disagree with you.
Everyone in europe has huge respect for the Empire guys. Yeah they are not at the big tournaments for various reasons, but that does not make them any less strong.

I didnt say they didnt respect them, don't misunderstand me, empire is a good, solid team, but they are simply not as good as dignitas & mouz, both of those teams are superior to empire, but empire is definetely a top european/foreign team, just not at the level of dignitas/mouz.

But what are you basing these stupid claims on, all you are saying is "yea they are just not better". Nerchio destroyed MorroW and Thorzain just last week Mouz two best players. Empire have played no team leagues at all. So concluding they are not as good like you have done is just stupid. Mouz and Dignitas are superior to IM and SlayerS because they have never played in a masters cup also herpderphpdperpphperpdperp

Getting sick to death of people posting that micro video. Congrats he can do marine splitting, it is one portion of the game and if your decision making, build order/strategy, macro aren't up to par then it is kind of irrelevant.

I'm sure Nerchio and Happy are amazing, but frankly only Kas of Empire has shown anything so far (Copenhagen and TSL qualify + placing). The other 2 need to give a performance at a major event (normally LAN, but large online tournament like TSL is good proof too) before we can say they're good. Yes, ladder is indicative but not everything, and smaller tournaments such as weekly cups only say that they're good at that style of competition (where it is even questionable whether the other players entering are any good, or try at all).

As far as major events go, I'd like to draw attention to Empire's results at the ESL dailymotion cup and the Shoutcraft invitational, both of which featured other great European players (e.g. White-ra, Strelok)

European daily and weekly cups are a great indication of how well someone is playing. Because the level of competition is always extremely high, the top European players are actually competing in a lot of them. I wish some NA players would take the time to compete in some of the European cups because I don't see anything on a daily / weekly basis on NA that rivals the level of competition top European players get almost everyday.

I think since a lot of stuff is midweek it's a bit hard for NA guys to get on in time. Also on the weekend there are some NA stuff isn't there?

Yes Empire is good, but I think Major, Idra, Kiwi, HuK, Select, etc>>Happy, Nerchio, Kas, etc. Don't see how you could argue this


Is this post serious? First of all, you list a bunch of players from different teams, and say that those players are better... we are talking about teams here. Saying that HasuObs, Stephano and Select (just as an example, as all of them are in this league) are better than Happy Nerchio and Kas isn't even relevant... Just listing solid players from many team says nothing about a single team. What point were you even trying to get at?

Also, "Don't see how you could argue this." Seriously? How is it possible to be that sure that they are better, especially since I am VERY sure you haven't seen much of Nerchio or Happy recently.

...?



Um I was referring to a post where someone said that Empire>>the top players in NA. Try to read what I'm quoting before you jump off on my post.
And I'm not arguing Major>Happy, Select>Kas, Idra>Nerchio etc. I was arguing that the top NA players>the team of Empire. If you seriously think that Kas/Happy/Nerchio is enough to put Empire over the pinnacle of NA then you need to watch more NA play. Yes Europe is better, but not that better.

Well if we are talking about top NA players that are actually performing well recently then yes almost certainly Empire>Top NA players. Name me a NA player that is currently playing up to and beyond peoples expectations. The only NA player that has impressed me this month is dde.

So?

That's what being an Ace means.

Kiwikaki was the IdrA of ROOT for example

A lot of teams have one


Ya i would have to say most foreign teams have only one S class player, with the rest being a bunch of A and B teamers. Not enough foreign talent at the very top of the pool.

Not really, EG and ROOT seem to be the biggest offenders.

I think teams like Dignitas, Mouz and Empire (why aren't they in this league?!) have solid overall lineups.


Dignitas has naniwa and select

The other teams are European and have a bigger pool of talent too choose from.

If all the top Na teams put out their best players on one Team it would be basically Empire's level >_>

I wish we had more top players


Disagree completely, empire is a solid team, but not at the level of say dignitas & mouz, the top NA players would easily be a better team than them with players like Major, Idra & Kiwikaki.

Lol I bet even the Dignitas and mouz players would disagree with you.
Everyone in europe has huge respect for the Empire guys. Yeah they are not at the big tournaments for various reasons, but that does not make them any less strong.

Can anyone recap the results so far?


Diestar 2-0 minigun
Stephano 2-0 cruncher

Thanks man.



Yes Empire is good, but I think Major, Idra, Kiwi, HuK, Select, etc>>Happy, Nerchio, Kas, etc. Don't see how you could argue this


Is this post serious? First of all, you list a bunch of players from different teams, and say that those players are better... we are talking about teams here. Saying that HasuObs, Stephano and Select (just as an example, as all of them are in this league) are better than Happy Nerchio and Kas isn't even relevant... Just listing solid players from many team says nothing about a single team. What point were you even trying to get at?

Also, "Don't see how you could argue this." Seriously? How is it possible to be that sure that they are better, especially since I am VERY sure you haven't seen much of Nerchio or Happy recently.

...?



Um I was referring to a post where someone said that Empire>>the top players in NA. Try to read what I'm quoting before you jump off on my post.
And I'm not arguing Major>Happy, Select>Kas, Idra>Nerchio etc. I was arguing that the top NA players>the team of Empire. If you seriously think that Kas/Happy/Nerchio is enough to put Empire over the pinnacle of NA then you need to watch more NA play. Yes Europe is better, but not that better.

Try to read the whole argument before you attack one post

Well if we are talking about top NA players that are actually performing well recently then yes almost certainly Empire>Top NA players. Name me a NA player that is currently playing up to and beyond peoples expectations. The only NA player that has impressed me this month is dde.


I agree DDE is very good atm, he has impressed me alot.

Holy guacamole (see what I did there)! Gratz MILL for taking down the new COL lineup. Hopefully stephano can participate in more and more tournys, however, the rate he wins tournies/improves depends on his school effort?(dont quote me on that).
Either way, GG MILL!
BTW COL, Great new lineup, better luck next week!

He's in med school (not as hardcore as US med school but still) so he obviously has less to devote to the game during exam periods such as now (which is why he had to skip dreamhack because he has exams on the following monday). The period where he won 3 or 4 go4sc2s ect was when he didn't havemuch going on and put his studies aside a bit.

Updated OP with the results from Millenium vs. MYM and Dignitas vs. ROOT. I apologize for the delay.

Disappointing that the new 2v2 specialists from MYM immediately lose their first game. >_>
