I like the fact that Ret is really showing himself to be a contender for top foreign zerg, however it is not often enough that we see Ret, Dimaga, Idra, Sen in the same competitions to compare their results. It is safe to say though that Ret > Nerchio based on what we have seen at this event, and Nerchio still has a while to go before he translates his online experience into LAN experience.

I don't expect much out of Tarson today, and the top 3 is my top 3 European players generally and I don't think it is possible to rate them in order so it will just come down to who has a bit of luck and is better on the day.

Ok, fine! I will correct both of you, but I didn't want to! We need two suns! And seasons are not caused by the rotation of the earth around the sun, they are caused by the wobble of the earth's rotation on its axis, which coincides with the 1 year time-frame of the earth rotating around the sun.

Hey idiot. The sun rotates around the Earth!

On a more serious note, what if we ask FlasH to demand the sun to not use gravity when it is inconvenient.


EDIT: Probably not a good idea to call a mod an idiot as a joke. Gogo social experiment!

hahaha yeah you're right there ... but without the earth orbiting the sun there wouldn't be seasons either, would there?

God I hope to see Nani vs ThorZain again in the finals. Nani beating Tarson first, then Ret in a close series, and then either way it'd be amazing in the finals.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

That's an interesting question and I'm not sure the answer. I don't think there's any direct correlation between the rotation of the earth around the sun and the earth's wobble on its axis, and if there is, I'd imagine it's quite minuscule. The reason I say this is because gravity tends to negate imperfections such as fast rotations and off axis spinning. This can be seen in the moon and why we always see only one side of the moon and not the other no matter where on earth you are. It's rotational speed around the earth is in direct correlation with its rotational speed on its axis due to its close proximity to the earth and strong (relative to the distance between the earth and moon) gravitational field the earth produces. Over time (a very very long time), the earth will do the same in correlation to the sun. The wobble of the axis is probably caused by the primordial makeup of the solar system when bodies were coliding against each other. Over time, I would assume that its angle of rotational tilt would also lessen due to the equalizing forces of gravity throughout our solar system. But that's just a guess. It'd be an interesting topic to research.

Wait, what we were talking about? Oh yeah. THORZAIN FIGHTING~~!

Is there an advantage for the finalist from the winners bracket? Like he has to win one Bo3, while lower bracket has to win two Bo3?

Day 2 gonna be so sick. Pulling for Ret to win it all, but any one of the remaining players could pull it out.

A Tarson victory would cause venue-implosion levels of awesomeness.

I hope that Naniwa slept good this night.

He seemed a bit tired yesterday. I understand it after all the flying for MLG and the jetlag.
