Watched replays of Nerchio vs Huk. + Show Spoiler +
Nerchio was in total control all of the time in both games. Metalopolis nice contain with lings and later mutas. On Shakuras Nerchio consistently denied 3rd expand, while he got up to 6 bases. Last push was ling, roach, infestor, baneling in overlords with ultras building.

Where can I watch those replays mate? thanks.

Rooting for MaNa. He really deserves the win, especially now, after disproving TL´s horrible prediction.

He went from training with MC to training with Incontrol, we knew this was gonna happen.

looool such a troll

Huk lost and played just awful. I think that the travel is really catching up to him. Even if he got plenty of rest for this tournament (doubtful) he still doesn't have a stable training environment to train in and it showed in the sloppiness of his play.

Hahaha... NOT.

As someone already mentioned - Naniwa does not make you 'way ahead', no other swede may take wins vs Nerchio,Tarson and MaNa. Not gonna make it country vs country flame battle, let the results speak for the players.

POLAND FIGHTING!!!11


morrow? thorzain? sase?

both countries are good

amen, and add ukraine


and germany
and france
and...emm.
its all about the best country in europe and im sure its poland.



you're sure?

There isn't a "best" country in Europe. There was a time where Morrow, Naniwa and Thorzain looked unbeatable, but that's definitely not the case anymore. Poland looks very strong right now, but it's not like they are far ahead of the rest.

We should just be happy that we have so many good players in Europe.

Poland: Nerchio, Tarson, Mana, DieStar, ...
Sweden: Naniwa, Thorzain, Morrow, Sjow, ...
Ukraine: White-Ra, Kas, Dimaga, Strelok, ...
Germany: Socke, HasuObs, Goody, Darkforce, ...

I'm not saying Puma lost to Mana on purpose but that second place sure puts him in the nicer half of the bracket.

Hoping for Mc Puma finals rematch here!

Its funny how the europeans get on here and post ESL and craft cup and crap like that and think it means something. Mana's problem has always been inconsistency. When he's on, he's very good, but sometimes he looks incredibly outclassed. As with everyone else, lets see how he fares against Koreans in a GSL environment. Beating a code B Korean in one match doesn't mean a thing.

Though I refer to him as a code B terran he is a strong player. MC was afraid of him for NASL he even mentioned. MC, the unrealistically cocky player was afraid of Puma, which definitely says something about how he's viewed on the korean scene


Mana beat two code S (who both are current code S ro16) players convincingly just 2 weeks ago at assembly winter...

After seeing mana's great defense of that ghost push, I would like to see him vs 1-1-1. The koreans seem adamant that charge and armor are needed, but we have seen that the Koreans sometimes have the wrong style (as seen by Pumas not so good decisions vs colossi builds)

100% agree.
Poland is very good, same Sweden (and others) but there is no best coutry in Europe.
Same as there is no best player in Europe, no one dominates the scene (well Nerchio maybe online).

The #IEM #SC2 1/4 Finals are:
MC - SeleCT
MaNa - mOOnGlaDe
Socke - Kas
Nerchio - PuMa.

wow

MC ezwin!


Some upsets to look out for:

MC > SeleCT
Nerchio > PuMa

I think Mana > mOOnGlaDe is obvious

Socke vs Kas is pretty even, and I don't see Kas play often, and Socke has been invisible (even though he makes it to top 5 in every tournament).

I say:

SeleCT
Mana
Socke
Nerchio

Overrating Nerchio and Select IMO. They will get stomped :/. I don't know what leads you to believe Select will beat MC considering their last meeting.


MC's recent poor performance and SeleCT's recent sick performance (NA invitational and his play yesterday). Don't get me wrong, even with that in mind, I think MC has the nod to be the favorite. The point is I want a bracket that not everyone will pick but still somewhat reasonable. :S



Unfortunately, you ended up picking the exact same bracket that somebody 2 or so posts above you did.

Really impressed with the performance of all the European players.

Even the players who didn't qualify looked incredible. Stephano's first games against Puma was absolutely inspiring.

I know its way early to make this call, but I'm really feeling like this could be the tournament where a foreign hero steps up and takes one from the Koreans.
