I'm sure Rotterdam was saying the same stuff when Tarson cheesed Idra out of Homestory Cup (sarcasm). Gimme a break. Sangho's only job is to win. His strat was superior. Rotterdam was saying that it was risky. It was superior by luck or by Killer knowing that Socke scouts late, which I doubt. That does not mean Killer did win somehow undeservedly, just that it was risky. It was his comments about how if he's in Code S he should be able to show something better and get a deserved win. Like his win wasn't deserved? Not cool.
I am not sure that he said something like that, if we are both thinking about the same statement from Rotterdam, then he said that being in code S should give Killer enough confidence to play something safer and not bet on such a risk paying off.

Rotterdam is top 100 EU (read it in this post, confirm anyone?) Day9, no one knows his rank. But considering his full schedule im guessing he hardly has time to train/ladder/play.

Confirm, he was top 100 EU before GM, I believe he dropped now due to an insane losing streak xd, but he is that level. Was that S2 as well.
He just is the highest level playing caster atm, together with Artosis, you can't argue for Day9 because for all we know he's bronze.

Does anyone know if the caster's t-shirts are for sale anywhere? Those are awesome.

I really doubt that, now sure about bitter's skilllevel and i agree that both are not progamers but Im quite confident that at least rotti is by far better than d9 Based on what? Rotti is a bad sc2 player and Day was A+ in Brood War I think. Hard to say who is better but it doesn't even matter really.
Yea, because no wc3 players are any good in sc2.
I'm not saying that rotti>d9. But saying d9 was A+ isn't really a giveaway on skill in sc2. Thorzain said he was D+ in bw is he worse then d9?

Day9 is guaranteed to be at least Masters, because D+ in BW = easy peasy Masters.

Too bad; I'm not too far from Cologne but I won't make it to the IEM this week due to work. Any idea if they'll be available online at any time? Was something like that mentioned?

Top WC3 foreigners were better than Top BW foreigners.

Well YellOw was gold ;p.
And you can say he's ''guaranteed'' but unless he shows his rank, then you can't make a point for him being the highest level playing caster.
Especially not the way wats0n is doing lol.

One day someone will punish socke for this greedy opening with an aggressive 4-gate....

Read my post bro, he was top 100 EU before GM came out, and he was A+ in Warcraft III (Yeah I know, just mean he was a professional). And what do you base Day's SC2 career on? I just now realize I might be getting trolled ;>...
Trolled or not...
In WC3, Rotti was very good. Superior to players like NaNiWa & Thorzain (IMHO).
Like day[9] he preferred casting over playing SC2.

If you think anybody who could achieve A+ on ICCUP in a harder game couldn't get top 100 on EU then you're funny.

LMAO. this pvp builds first appearrance? anyone know? looks amazing.

I am really nervous (the first time since Idra vs MC :D ... and Sheth playing ofc). I hope Socke can beat Killer !!!

Problem about statements that go any way is that noone really knows how much and on what level Day9 plays. My guess would also be that Rotterdam is better protoss as Day9 is random. But I think Day9 started playing more lately as his analysis got much more detailed as far as builds go and makes a lot of very precise calls lately. I don't know about MrBitter.

Because he just did his placements then played custom games. Yellow is obviously going to be Masters...

Rotterdam still has one of the best PvP in Europe. He's excellent at that macth-up. Day9 fanboys are so funny, guess they are the same people that thinks that Destiny is good.
