Maybe Demuslim just isn't that much better than these guys. Yeah. feel like hes been playing on the opinion that he's the best UK player a lot. Team Infused are proving otherwise. | ||

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. You know I would even put you ahead of France tbh. Just because Stephano is french for some reason doesn't make us a good Starcraft 2 nation  | ||

Is he a racepicker? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Ourk Ourk used to be Terran, then he went through a period where he didn't have a definite race, but I think he finally settled on Protoss. | ||

Terran in general is fairly strong in the midgame, with Medivacs/Stim/Combat Shields/Concussive but before Protoss has hit mass splash and super upgrades. What seperates the mediocre Terran players from the good Terran players is being able to capitalise on this, I think. | ||
