Nobody would be complaining about TB if it was 2GD next to him. It was awesome with them both at the DH Summer Invitational. Pretty obvious that TB isn't comfortable around this guy - probably because he doesn't know him!?

TB is an awesome color commentators, probably the best at wat he's doing - pure hype. Paired with a great analytical caster, like Apollo, he adds a ton of excitment to pepole who don't care much about high level understanding.
Pretty sure TB would rather be casting games than be introducing players with someone he has never spoken to before in his life. Blame Dreamhack not TB or Tjebz.

Stephano thinks Ret is better than Nerchio in ZvZ. Nerchio won in Berlin though.
I think Nerchio is better than Ret. Given the elo difference 2265 vs 2084 Ret's chances of winning was under 20%, thats a pretty large upset.
Nerchios elo is mainly from online matches which is very different from a big "offline" tournament
True, but thats mostly from a preassure/nervousness standpoint. I find online players being generally underestimated, especially from established players and their fans. Remember players like Sjow, Thorzain and Naama who were very accomplished online well before people thoughtof them as a major threat in the LAN tourneys.
Even a player like Seiplo isn't much of a suprise if you compare his ELO with the players he's beaten at dreamhack. Imo Seiplo was less of an underdog vs Huk than Ret was vs Nerchio and that's despite Nerchio's apparent struggles in offline events.
