So yeah we're kind of crappy, we know that, but we're certainly hugely improved from where we were a year ago and if JonnyRecco and Ziktomini can find themselves a well established team who'll send them to the UK tournaments hopefully they show the same improvement Bling did (and then don't blow it all being an esports celebrity instead of practicing). In terms of nations I'd say we've pushed ourselves ahead of most countries in Europe except the big hitters of Sweden, France, Germany, Ukraine and Poland. We're probably better than Spain, Italy and Norway and fast closing the gap on Russia. | ||

1. Landed his vikings to lose all of them where he instead could have saved them. 2. Moved out on the map and his army were divided. He basically threw away 40-50 army supply. | ||

Given how young he is I definitely think the future is looking good for UK Starcraft. | ||

Another mistake was losing the outer group when running back to the nat instead of sniping the unprotected colossus that were trailing the chargelot force. | ||

Odee said last year he will do another dignitas gamer search so maybe he could qualify/win that like Bling did last year. | ||

Amateurs have been taking games off pros so far this event, wouldn't that make it more interesting? If you mean that pros should be 1 sided-ly rofl-stomping the casuals, probably true but it makes for worse games  | ||
