Yeah, but he lost to the likes of Fraer, TITAN 2-0, 3-0, LaZ (??) 1-2, Adelscott 1-2, Jaxx 1-2, Strelok 2-3, Bly 1-2, Honor 1-2, DIMAGA 0-2, ENOTWHYNOT 1-2, monchi 1-2.
Basically in the last month and a half, he lost to A LOT of protoss, including random GM / top master (LaZ, Jaxx, ENOTWHYNOT) and some lower tier protoss (monchi, Honor) which is kinda worrying.
Basically he did not lost really badly in ZvT / ZvZ but in ZvP he randomly loses to presumably inferior players. I hope that he'll do better in this match-up soon, the time when Stephano & Nerchio dominated EU online cups seems far away.

hmm bracket seems fixed, oh well it is an EU tournament
|
Stephano vs. Dimaga first round is le sigh, but with MLG coming up you can't help the brackets. I just don't want to see one of the two best Zergs in the foreigner's scene going out in the first round to a ZvZ, but w/e brackets are brackets.

While they aren't Polt, it certainly shows(hoho) that he is capable of beating koreans. Saying "Sjow is Sjow..." is just an insult to his opponents as much as one to himself.
ThorZaIN has a negative score vs Polt, but he can certainly beat him at times. He can beat Stephano too, and HyuN, YuGiOh, Keen etc. The only one I think will be ridiculously difficult is aLive if he is feeling confident. It's not like we're talking big upsets either here, it's not like say...avilo comes and 2-0's Mvp or something.

Who is doing the english cast?

Miya swap with Yugioh, so Miya vs Alive rematch+ Show Spoiler + ( Miya 2-1 Alive Fnatic vs Slayers)
|
Khaldor was going to do the English cast, but he's doing 4PPL atm...
|

Don't worry, he'll eat a few batteries and go back to casting for MSI.

Yeah, he seem to have regressed a bit the past months. There was a time where you could say he was better than stephano and not be wrong. They took a bit of a different paths from there.

When Stephano just started, probably..

Lol I thought beeing on millenium Stephano wouldn't get bracket so unfavorable : dimaga in the first round (a ZvZ with one of the best ZvZ in foreign countries), then 2 rounds of korean (polt + probably alive)...
I was thinking the same thing. You can't accuse Millenium of favoritism, at the very least. Someone else commented, I believe, that it's structured to avoid problems with lag -- so Koreans play Koreans and Stephano's in Polt's side because they're both on the NA server ATM, although I'm not sure why dima is Stephano's first opponent. His zvz is still very strong.

No not at all... I don't know how much he practised at the time but he had definatelly played for quite a while. Countrary to popular belief stephano is not god and can't do whatever he likes in an instant. How good he's now have no influence on the past you know.

Nerchio and Stephano used to be mentioned in the same breath and while I was not that attentive to Nerchio, during the course of Stephano's rise I did wonder whether Nerchio was going to do the same since good observers like tree.hugger used to hype him the same way they hyped Stephano and that turned out to be high praise.
Nerchio's time didn't come, but why didn't it come?

Unlike Stephano, Nerchio did not put off his studies and i think this is the reason he is not a mega beast, but just a beast

This and Nerchio sometimes has mentality problems like too much rage after losses and nervousness in offline events. But he is working on these problems and getting better with every day. Even with his part time gaming due to studies, I would not be surprised to see him with a huge breakthrough in the next months.

Can't believe Keen threw away that lead.
EDIT: Can't believe Hyun botched that bust.

Hyun is keeping his infestors alive pretty well, hes losing mostly lings/roaches/blings in these engagements so looking pretty good for him now
