I missed a lot but sounds like a goddamn truck hit an internet tower and knocked out internet in the area for hours, while the internet was out they downloaded broodwar and stream that from behind the players with a camera, huk player boxer and it was awesome, now they are getting back into things and select just lost to thorzain
This would go well with that Fry meme images

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. 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.
Nerchio has the classic "I do well online but not so good on LAN" issue so it's hard to judge him.
Stephano, though, has done fairly well on LANs, and I think he's about on par with IdrA in his current form. I emphasize the "current form" part because IdrA was in a huge slump until IEM Guangzhou.

Funny since neither of those performed in LANs yet.

Awesome, I was worried that we weren't going to be able to see any of Sleep vs HerO.

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.
Ret>Idra? Really....You could make an arguement for Nerchio or Stephano, but I don't see how you think Ret is better

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? Not North America :S

None of them are as accomplished nor have they won as many major Lans as IdrA so what argument do you have left? Your 2nd paragraph is quite silly. Except it's not. Watch the players, talk to top level players, and then come back to me.

He barely practiced the entire time he was in Spain. Did you see his NASL games? His time in Spain didn't make him a better sc2 player. True, but my understanding is that he made some good contacts while he was in EU. I've heard a couple people say they met QXC for the first time at Assembly, and so on.

I am from EU and I still think IdrA is the strongest Zerg outside of KR I think the server they play on is much more important. There's nothing that differentiates a random dude from Korea and a random dude from Denmark, except the server they play on. If they switch countries, I just care about the server.
