You know, Education in France is different than in the US, you chose medicine immediately after high school, you don't have to wait 4 years before sitting for the MCAT

Yeah, alright, he's obviously the best Zerg besides Nerchio outside of Korea. you watch too much idra, sir. zerg isnt about how to get as many drones as possible. first its about strategy, if u go ling ultra infestor you need gas, you dont overdrone because u have speedlings which take larva, lower drone count is balanced by higher tech (infestors)
its part of strategy not sloppiness

What has nerchio done besides win minor online cups. Its getting kind if old eith eu always hyping players off weekly online cups and see them flame out in major tourneys. At least ret and idra have major results to back their name. Nerchio is not hyped by only the fans, most pros agreeD that he is the best EU zerg out there atm. Haven't seen him lately though. Dimaga and MorroW facepalm nerchio. So I think he aint even the best zerg!

He doesn't have a big win yet, but considering he can't play full time he has done well and beaten some really good players.

god. this "weekly cups doesnt count" thing again.
did you acutally know, that top players attend every fucking online tour? somehow, nerchio wins a lot of them. Yes, he acutally plays the same players we see right now in the top 8 for about 5 times a week...
ofc, we have to see if he can play the same on Lans, or if he has some problems like Kas.

I lost, but I did fine ^^. Managed to win one set at least and PvZ is my worst match-up and Morrow's best in the end >_>. btw, Before our match Morrow told me when we spoke that Zerg is so imba now and doesn't know way how to win with protoss it xP I knew that ;p. But that's good to hear, at least taking some confidence away from it. Also I agree with MorroW , as a Protoss PvZ just makes me cringe ;p.

Stephano 2-0'd Nerchio recently too.

Im pretty sure hes still in highschool (he may have just graduated and this is his summer break) so i dont see how he could be high educated (yet, he may be planning for it though) edit: stephano actually has another year of highschool left i beleive, so again i dont see how he can be high educated, he was born in 1994 hes only 17. I meant that he was going for a high education ;p. Dunno, I heard @ HSC3 I believe, that he had finished Highschool. Might be wrong obviously, I don't stalk the guy. apparently he has finished highschool actually so you are right, must hav skipped a year or something.

I know, I'm just saying everyone wants to be a doctor at 18 because they don't know what to do and making lots of money and helping people at the same time sounds like a good deal. Most aren't cut out for it obviously but they try.

you attend a Lan and obviously feel like an insider now as it seems >.<. its obvious that every top player plays at least 2 hours a day, most ppl even go for 4-6 hours 5 days a week.

Im not saying hes not good just that hes not omg best in the world like some people claim...you need to have some high ranking finishes in major tourneys to be in that discussion imo. I remember Happy was supposed to be the Best T ever based on his online cup results not that long ago and we've seen how hes performed at major tourneys...

Nerchio also plays people like VERDI, Pureball, Vasilisk, Sew and Bling (among other randoms, just looking at the first page). The competition, environment and stakes are not comparable to a major tournament. He is overhyped, just like Happy who flamed out of DH and now Assembly Summer.
