So many great matches in open bracket...

Puma vs Socke
DeMuslim vs Sheth
Artist vs Kawaiirice
Violet vs Lucky

And winners going to main tournament, losers to loser bracket of open tournament, so there is lot on the line. Hoping for Bally's stream to kick in asap .


i think youre getting the tournament format wrong. all of the people in the finals of the open bracket are through to the main tournament. top 16 go through, so as long as you get eliminated in the losers bracket with less than 16 players left, your through to the main tournamnet

Let's correct some mis-information okay?

SeleCT is on the same level as ThorZaIN (better micro, worse macro), but I think it's been months since SeleCT practiced on the NA server. It's a stretch to call him an NA player. QXC got much better with his stay in KR, and even his time in EU. More of an NA player but still a stretch. MajOr is good, but super predictable and now he's in KR, so he's not really an NA terran either.

Regarding zergs, saying IdrA is as good as EU zergs is hilarious, I count at least five better zergs than IdrA (Stephano, Nerchio, Ret, MorroW and DIMAGA in that order) from Europe, and one (Sheth) from NA.


I disagree about the Zergs. I cannot say IdrA is WORSE or better than them, but I think it really depends on his daily play. Sometimes he's outstanding, sometimes insanely 'weak' or disappointing. Same for DIMAGA for example.

That's a fair point, DIMAGA is extremely inconsistent and terrible against certain styles. But I'd say that the first three (Stephano, Nerchio, Ret) are better than IdrA all the time, and that MorroW, Sheth, and DIMAGA usually are.


I don't know and I don't want to discuss as I think its really hard to seperate players in Starcraft 2 from each other. No one is outstanding or super constant and a game or series is easily lost. Ret for example is beastly .. but thats because he's super greedy. If he gets punished, he dies. If he doesn't, he wins.

So... all the players you named are very good and very close in skill, but all of them have their highs and downs. As I said I think its very hard to seperate all of them into different skill levels as IdrA did show amazing games vs PuMa or single series at MLG while he also did show terrible play in some other situations.

It really depends on the matchup, match, series etc... Overall that player discussion really is not doing anyone any good.

Lol, out of the frying pan and into the fire.

LETS GO THORZAIN!!!
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)

Now i don't know if that was honest, but i totally agree with you. Except maybe that IdrA is probably better than Ret, MorroW and Sheth.


Idra rolls over Dimaga too.


Yes, IdrA is better than Dimaga and Morrow but Nerchio/Stephano are a class above every foreigner zerg.

Idra has way more results than those two.

Still don't understand how thorzain knew cloakshee was incoming, amazing gamesense.


He saw two gases, I think he saw factory also.
After that info selects options of builds was limited drastically, could have been a quick drop but unlikely and his defense was strong against any build.

Watch demuslim's stream he explains tvt really well!!


I don't think he saw the factory

The trigger was definitely the gas before barracks. No one does that unless they r going for fast tech and considering blue flame isnt as effective nowadays its most probably banshee.

You got it all wrong guys.

Select won the Blizzcon NA qualifier so he's a NA player.
Major won the Blizzcon LA qualifier but he's still a NA player.

Flawless logic ~~

What continent do you think mexico is in?
