Well, I will now watch a full LoL match, usually I stop watching like 1-2 minutes in because I don't like it, but I'm forcing myself to at least check it out now ;p.
It appears I have been chosen.

you can forget people like haypro and sjow to be honest and morrow isnt a 3 top zerg in europe as well.
you gotta compare each of them eachother so im sure poland is better


Sjow got top 10 last MLG and is one of the most successful foreigners, what are you talking about? Then there are players like Jinro, Merz, Bischu, Sase, Lalush etc...

Puma is good, he's pro level obviously, but Mana has been solid for a while, anyone who picked Puma to beat Mana is just silly

This is so dumb, Puma is way favored playing against Mana.

Why? Because I don't buy into 30 day hype? Get off it - 1 month results are not everything. Look for solid players who post consistent results. Europe is solid. Mana, Nerchio, White-Ra, Dimaga, i'd pick any of those 4 over Puma.


hehe, its the artosis curse, clide...now puma but u r right, people hyping him up because of nasl, he didnt do anything besides that

Wait what? You can forget Sjow for some reason? I don't understand your reasoning at all.

let's not turn this into X>Y thing, lets just say that top3 european countries are sweden, poland and ukraine for sure.

And Britain. Oh wait our best player hasn't lived here for about a year.

Koreans do it all the time and they still dominate.

The excuse about Jetlag is getting old.

He played badly and got stomped, that's it.

Jetlag is just a part of it. I was also referring to training regimen. These players miss significant amount of pratice time.

He played badly because of all the travelling he has done. In the last few weeks: Korea (GSL) > America (MLG) > Finland (Assembly) > America (Blizzcon Qualifier) > Korea (GSL) > Germany (IEM).
Before his HSC3/Dreamhack run he hadn't travelled very much and had a lot of time to practice.

I hope you never bet money, because you would get your ass owned in predictions :X

I hope you never bet money. Betting on someone who only has 1 result and has not shown a lot besides that 1 tournament.

Please don't forget France ! Stephano, ToD, Adel, SarenS are not to be messed with :p Even if I admit they are not attending as many events as other players and might be a liiiittle bit behind right now. ^^

jetlag?


Might be jetlag, or just exhausted from constant travelling and foreign tournaments. Or, it could be just playing badly because he's with EG now...cuz MC is doing well even though of "jetlag".

Huk went 1-6 in maps huh?

Are we gonna keep blaming jetlag or at least admit that he is horribly inconsistent?
