Sadly it seems I have to put this up yet again. Any of the following types of posts will be met with immediate bans: Imbalance whine/Player bashing/Caster bashing/Stream complaining/Off topic arguing. Stick to the games and enjoy the event and its free services and coverage. | ||

People call them MC donuts for a reason. Anyway, 3-1 Huk. | ||

Strong case, people keep mentioning Naniwa and Thorzain but personally I think it's something like Huk/Idra Huk/Idra Sen Thorzain Naniwa Before Dreamhack some people said Dimaga/Morrow too, but afterwards I don't think you can make a convincing argument that either. SaSe is someone to look out for though, I think he's improving so quickly... | ||

You can't say anyone is the best foreigner at the moment because players have been giving strong performances at tournaments but failing to repeat consistently at the top. | ||

I have always thought Moon was not good at all but after good placing at MLG and Dreamhack... Man... Honestly, Bomber beat himself just as much as Moon beat him. Moon played really well though. Bomber showed much better games vs. July. I think the results would have been a lot different if the semis were Bo5 instead of Bo3. In a Bo3, it feels like an "any given Sunday" situation. If the players aren't significantly apart in skill, there's a good chance for some upsets. | ||

The community seems to overrate every player who wins a tournament, then forgetting him once a couple of months had passed. | ||

In my opinion there have been 4-5 foreigners competing for #1 foreigner tag for a while now, players like HuK, Idra, Thorzain, Naniwa and Dimaga could all legitimately claim to be the best. Perhaps not every single day, but they're all consistently top players able to give the koreans a good fight. Edit: Totally forgot Sen! | ||

http://www.readmore.de/index.php?cont=headlines&id=53878 Here are many interviews from DH, including Thorzain or Dimaga @ Zyphen The difference between Moon and July was that Moon managed to pin bomber back into his base in the macrogame, while July was pinned into his base by Bomber. Bomber was never allowed to play the way he wanted. | ||

There will be two streams here - SVT (Swedish Television) and Day9. If you go to Dreamhack.tv and click on the StarCraft2 link you will see that it's justin.tv/day9tv that is embedded. | ||

Chinese players are good for sure, hard to say that with certainty though because to be fair they haven't competed enough to justify a "top foreigner" ranking. One international tournament (Stars War) is hardly enough. | ||
