I think Lucifron will end up surprising quite a few people. He recently 3-0'd Nerchio in the finals of some online tournament, and after checking the replays, he played very solid.

Stephano is way over IdrA's current level, easily. Nerchio I dunno, he hasnt been as impressive imo. Can't base people on past glory.

Edit: Unless you are the Emperor.


Nerchio has grabbed plenty of impressive victories, just last week he took out ZenexYong in the TL Open, ending the streak of Korean dominance of that tournament, not to mention everyone he beat in IPL2. Nerchio is a monster.
Nerchio is good, sure. But I personally at least do not rate online performance as high as offline, especially broadcasted ones. He got stomped pretty badly @ EU invitational too. :/

and who should replace him? with more skill i guess


Although I disagree with replacing idra, if it were to happen foreign zergs at or above his caliber include... well Sheth, Sen, and morrow unless EU has some god zerg I don't know about


Dimaga, Nerchio and Stephano say hello...


Nerchio and Stephano need to prove it an LAN before they can be declared best foreign anything.

Stephano had a reasonable Assembly taking third but Nerchio has no notable offline results.

At this point Sen, Ret, Dimaga, Idra and Morrow should all be rated ahead of them.

What do you guys think of the matchups ? According to a large online bookie HuK is an underdog against Thorzain. I personally don't see why. Any input ?

And Thorzain was already quite strong TvP before he went to Korea. Can't wait to see how strong it is now!

So you think Thorzain has a small uppder hand then just because of the matchup, not based on individual skill I guess..Any insight to Rain vs Naniwa ? Odds seem to make it 50-50, but I'd be glad to hear your thoughts Thanks.

LOL? Ever saw a TvP by ThorZain? Neither HuK or NaNi can beat ThorZain in a TvP, NO CHANCE! I'm betting for a ThorZain vs DRG Finale.

Thorzain is probably just as skilled as HuK tbh now that he has had a short trip to Korea and been at the SlayerS house. The matchup is just a bonus IMO.

As for Rain vs NaNi, I dunno. Last time he only lucked out with the whole nuke scenario with sound being cancelled out, NaNi was quite dominant when they faced at MLG.

Though you never know. In TvP even if the Terran is an "inferior" player there will still be 1/1/1. Dunno if Rain would pull that out though, he seems to be deeply in love with heavy early ghost play in TvP.

I think it will be a Thorzain vs DRG finals. Thorzains vP is beastly and protosses seem to be struggling a lot in that matchup lately too. DRG is probably the best player in the tournament so he will make the finals I think. It´s really hard to call though.

Naniwa fighting!

Nani did beat Thorzain in the EU B.Net invitational, the last time they met.

bla bla bla.

idra would go like 30% wins vs stephano/nerchio, nerchio at least beat white-ra @ blizzard invitational 2-0. they are young and need a bit of time to show their performance on Lan.
