Drewbie is currently ranked 84 on NA GM ladder which I would say is around mid-GM level. Why should he be expected to beat a player like Kas who is consistently top10 on EU ladder. Especially if we consider the general consensus that EU > NA (Even Drewbie said so after his vs. EU showmatch series). Besides, being mid-level in grandmasters still means that you are a very good player. I wasn't trying to insult CatZ or Drewbie. I have just seen a lot of comments asking for more even opponents instead of EU's finest. | ||

Destiny is 48th, does that mean he's a better player than slush? I don't think so | ||

I have a request for whoever is casting it: don't use the team names to talk about the players after the 1st minute of the game. Think of it as a sort of funday monday  ) | ||

I don't think so True, but would you argue that the series with Drewbie was even remotely close? CatZ is around the same level of play as Drewbie, and while he does have some unusual builds that might catch some off guard, I don't thing he will stand a chance in a bo5 against most top players from Europe. All I'm asking for is some more even games, since the series with Drewbie was a slaughter. | ||

Interesting idea but I think that if Catz takes games it will be because of his play-style more than anything. So if Catz takes games it will be because of how he plays? Seems pretty logical to me. I know what you mean but Catz is not 7 pooling into gold expo into proxxy hatch into whatever else he does, every single game. He can also play a ''normal'' macro game and take games off of many good players | ||

Should be a great series, Thanks to Enrdey for setting this all up the Euro players for participating, and special thanks for Catz for taking on the best of Europe! | ||
