Yes, he lost all three matches, but that's because he played excellent players. Dimaga and White-Ra certainly belong to the top 5 or even top 3 of their respective races on EU. Maybe not everyone would name Beasty as top 5 terran on EU, but if you look at the sheer number of super strong Terrans on Europe, that is no wonder. He is a very strong player and there is no shame losing to him. I applaud Drewbie that he did not chose some second tier players, just to look good. . | ||

But CatZ coming here and citing lag and scheduling is not so great. There's nothing shameful in admitting that the people he is up against are simply BETTER players. | ||

A lot of the "top" NA players would barely be grand master players in europe. In europe there are a lot of "unknown" players that skillwise would be top 10 in NA. drewbie isn't even GM in NA... | ||

Actually I think that EmpireBeastyq can easily be one of TOP 5 Terran's in EU. He is taking a lot of cups at the moment and his games are solid as hell. | ||

I wouldnt really put him above Happy, Kas, Thorzain, Bratok, Demuslim, Sjow, Cloud, Strelok. | ||

Well, I have a lot of replays of every single player you mentioned, and Bestyq games are nothing worse than theirs. But yeah, I see your point. Also, Bestyq is really solid in all matchups, while some players you mentioned aren't. Like BratOk losing 2:0 to Nerchio, and Beastyq winning cup finals against Nerchio score 3:2. It's really hard to decide Europe's TOP 5 Terrans, because there are so many of them, and all of them are really good. This is why I said he can be. | ||

And on the matter on the next match. Endrey plans to get some Terran so lets take some quesses (i think Beastyqt dont count cause he already played). I think it could be either Kas, Tlo, Diestar or Happy. Since i think Drewbie would veto the Goody. Oh. And Catz i would love to see you in similar series. I think you are the most creative Zerg (or crazy) since retail. TLO has that title from beta ;P | ||

White-Ra and Dimaga were picked likely because they are high-profile players who would attract a lot of spectators, not because they are necessarily the best opponents for Drewbie. Then again, there aren't many people on NA that I would put up against White-Ra and Dimaga, except for the expensive pro-gamers like Idra who generally do not play for anything less than $200. | ||

People shouldnt bash Drewbie though, any one of those guys mentioned could lose to dimaga and white-ra. | ||

I'm not judging this on results (even though he does have results). I'm judging this on his play style/mechanics. He's super solid and he doesn't rely on gimmicks. I can't wait till he becomes one of the top terrans, and the results reflect that, then we won't have to deal with all the negative comments. im afraid the issue here is that the fact that he's one of the best in NA doesnt mean he's close to being one of the best in Eu due to the bigger competitive scene Also i agree that people shouldbt bash him (really good) play and should try to enjoy the showmatches thanking the players offering them  but i gotta say that catz's post was pretty bad made, with a lot of wrong points and bad arguments | ||
