Agree, surpised that he does not get more exposure, considering that he is on a major foreign team with plenty of funds (at so it seems). | ||

Grats to Empire though, I'd honestly say they're the second best foreigner team atm, and rapidly gaining too. | ||

Really Minigun is something of a darkhorse ATM as we really haven't seen him play all that much recently(Stream not withstanding). I'd mostly agree with your summary, Violet is the clear favourite vs Minigun, but I would say Minigun is a slight favourite vs Beasty. Edit: At post above: Funnily enough it worked out pretty well for them, all their wins were from the Col players. | ||

Grats to Empire though, I'd honestly say they're the second best foreigner team atm, and rapidly gaining too. Out of curiousity, who would you consider to be the top foreign team? As for playing col players, they played Minigun when the score was 0-1 and things were not looking too dangerous for them. Minigun got them the lead, so they decided to send in qxc to take down Aristeo. At that point, they were still in a pretty good position, being up 3-2 against Empire. Their only major mistake was to underestimate Kas, though. | ||

I'll re-word his point: That was dumb by colMVP to send out an untested player (Bang) and a player with a 9% win rate in TvT (Dream). Tails is a good player, but sending him out when things are finally down to the wire is pointless risk taking. Even ignoring the MVP players who had Code S matches, they still could have sent out Keen, Noblesse and/or Monster. | ||

Now I will not pretend that I am an expert on the inside workings of the Teamhouses, but I would assume since guys like Dream and Tails are not in the GSL, they would be practicing for occasions like this. I think that it was a mistake for MVP to underestimate Empire and send out a relatively weaker lineup, but then again you definitely do not want to overwork your top players, as you risk burnout and revealing strategies. This is pretty common in many team sports. | ||

1 - Kas 2 - Thorzain (A series of good European protoss players would fit this seed too) GOM should stop trying to balance race numbers by inviting only zergs and give foreigners an actual chance. | ||

Part of me wants it... But then Kas would finally be on EG poach list. | ||

The code S seeds should go to PuMa and HerO, the 2 non-Code S players with the best tournament results, imo. And, on paper, the Code S seeds belong to the 2 players who earned it the most by good results in tournament. Anyways, congratulations to Empire, very happy to get the opportunity to see them again next round! | ||

And about the guy saying Puma/Hero have better results. It really depends. Kas, Dimaga, Sase, Naniwa, Thorzain, arguably put results as good or better than they do. It just that many times it is not the same tournaments. | ||
