The next national event in the StarCraft II World Championship Series takes place in Wroclaw, Poland, where eight participants will fight for the $10,000 USD prize pool and two slots in the Europe Finals.
Absolutely baller! There's going to be a Polish stream, right? (EDIT: Actually, it is implied that there's going to be one, but I'd like to make sure). Loved your casting during the BNet Invitational in Warsaw; I regret not working up the courage to thank you in person, since I was there during the event.

Yup there will be polish stream - I will post it here as soon as I will get confirmation from ESL what channel they will use.
Tarson tried a couple of times but couldn't make it. Guys from spots 5-8 are quite good, apart from the stars (Nerchio, MaNa) and semi-stars (DieStar, Tarson, Tefel) Poland has a solid group of players playing on good European level.

I hope Mana and Tefel will make top2.
There is much truth in your initial statement good sir ! ^^ Going to be awesome to cast these guys alongside mr Grubby once again!
Most of the people will watch English stream, but you can also check the Polish one sometimes - it has behind the scene shots (players, venue etc.). Btw. MaNa vs Zazu 2:0, MaNa goes to the next round.
Slider goes 3 gate expand into 5-gate sentry / zealot bust. Looks good, kills a lot of SCVs and and forces diestar back into his main. He is unable to break the main thou and his transition into HTs is kinda slow.
Diestar does a 2 medivac drop, forces a split of Slider's army, kills the bulk of Slider's army near his nat and then steamrolls the toss in a 3base vs 3base scenario with superior macro, medivac retention and some great splitting vs storms.
Sliders fail 3 gate, falls behind in macro, cuts probes for early 2/2 upgrades. Diestar pokes around the natural, when he sees that Slider run his stalkers from the main he does a 2-medivac drop into mineral line.
Slider falls down to 19 probes and ggs. Diestar is up 2:0.
Mana is also moving forward with another 2:0 vs Zazu.
That was a shit all-in I think. He should have put down the expo way earlier and Nerchio should have given up on the third earlier. Plus with all the gas Nerchio can get a ton of mutas really fast if he just holds on a bit...

are you kidding me? his macro was atrocious and he made a terrible decision engaging nerchio at his natural after denying the third. both players played quite poorly.

Exactly...I feel like I am jaded from watching too much Code S. It becomes hard to watch games like this. In the end though, whatever, they would both kick my ass at the game, so I can't complain too much.
The engagement at the natural was pretty bad for forte, but with the third base on the way he felt he was so ahead he was able to trade cost ineffectively.

From what i've gathered he knows quite a lot of words in a lot of languages Probably because he's been traveling the world for ages playing wc3 at first and now Sc2
Grubby. You are honestly the best caster out there right now, bar none. I love your knowledge as a player mixed with your great, humble, realistic casting style. Keep it up!!
Edit: Oh, and, of course, congrats to Nerchio!!! Well deserved.

In the beginning it was ok, but later on it got annoying.
