The first game, he probably could have made it work with Ghosts, the second game, he didn't even have the ghosts for the Infestors. There were 3-4 moments in those games where if Drewbie had just attacked, he would have won the game, but he never attacked. | ||

I wonder if Drewbie is starting to regret this whole idea.  Nahh much respect to Drewbie for taking on the best from EU and on the EU server so he got latency issues. | ||

He missed every single timing he could have hit and then just got decimated by a fast tech, 200/200 Ultra, Infestor, Zergling composition the first two games. The first game, he probably could have made it work with Ghosts, the second game, he didn't even have the ghosts for the Infestors. There were 3-4 moments in those games where if Drewbie had just attacked, he would have won the game, but he never attacked. I totally agree. Game 1 could have gone either way if he made the ghosts work. Game two he either needed to try and make ghosts work again or pressure way earlier. These games were/could have been a lot closer than everyone is making them out to be. | ||

Who will pwn him next week? ^^ Why are 9 out of 13 of your posts (10 including this one) either completely whining about the 'lack of quality' with North American events, or flaming someone? Stop being such a jerk Drewbie's had really tough opponents so far lol, Dimaga is one of the best Euro Z's as well as one of the best foreign Z's, and same goes for White-Ra, and Beastyqt is an awesome player too. Drewbie has been in a slump recently  Hopefully he can pick it up! | ||

Accepting all these showmatches, providing us spectators great entertainment. He could easily have declined the requests for showmatch series, but fortunately for us he didn't. Starting off going vs Whitera and moving on to DIMAGA aren't really easy tasks, kudos to drewbie for taking the challenge and the best of luck for next week. | ||

Just saying... maybe go fund some showmatches with KiWiKaKi in them then, lol. Drewbie is a great player, he JUST won the first Zotac NA cup not long ago, as of for TvZ he beat CheckPrime and oGsZenio BOX in tournaments recently, there's always people bitching about everything, its sort of annoying. If you don't like it, don't watch it. I was watching drewbie's screen during his match with Dimaga, Dimaga took a lot of risks and they payed off hoping drewbie wouldn't move out and killed at many points in time, and being aggressive at unlikely timings. I thought Dimaga's play was fantastic and very clever, that's why he's in my opinion one of the best zergs in the world. But also I was watching drewbie's screen while he was playing, its pretty annoying latency to the EU server a lot of the time, its pretty random, but playing with lagspikes and right after you wake up/exercise without any warm-up isn't ideal either. props to Dimaga <3 he played a great series. Better luck to drew next time, I know for a fact he can beat anyone. | ||

I thought this has been beaten to death that EU NA doesn't have much of a cross server latency issue. Not sure why Drewbie did this, doesnt' make him look that great. | ||

I feel like the ROOT players have sort of plateaued lately, with the exception of Kiwikaki and Destiny perhaps (since Destiny HAS admittedly improved a lot since joining a Team, but still isn't at the same level as some of the other pros, despite making IPL 2). | ||

I have to agree with CatZ ,even though im a Dimaga fan, i say that drewbie played very good in first 2 games, it was much closer than it looked, too bad he mismicroed ghosts on terminus. | ||

Its not like EU players play every single NA tournament on EU server, they play them all on NA, with latency also in bad time of the day for them. Although what i find ironic in ur post is that u praise Drewbie for beating Check and Zenio who played with even worse lag than Drewbie had on EU but u blame the lag for him losing to Dimaga. I guess now u know how every EU player feels when they play NASL or IPL or anything else. | ||

Better luck to drew next time, I know for a fact he can beat anyone. All i can say for the lag issue is that's what you guys expect out of Europeans and Koreans playing in North American tournaments. Pulling that as an explanation doesn't reflect well. I mean, Drewbie played against Cloud, Socke and Boxer when they had to play on NA server and he still lost, what's the reasoning there? Is it really a lag issue or the people he's up against just being better players. I'm a bit confused though, you use the wakeup/no exercise explanation, but doesn't Drewbie know he's going to be playing at that time? | ||
