Pathetic display from DeMusliM and BlinG. They should be ashamed of being in pro teams.

JonnyREcco and Ziktomini may be good players but they aren't the only good but unknown players in EU (despite what some overly patriotic Brits may think) and while I appreciate a good underdog story like everyone else, only one of them should have been able to qualify - and none if you consider that UK should only have 2 seed maximum.

It seems like you completely missed the point of the whole WCS tournament. It is not meant to bring only the best and most known players, it's quite the opposite.

Anyway, do you hold the French tournament to the same standards? If yes, then tell ESL to cancel it and simply hand over the money and tickets to Stephano and maybe Adelscott. You better don't watch next week, someone else might win the top 3 spots and you'll be terribly disappointed! :D

If Stephano doesn't win the tournament, he will be flamed. The amount of flak Adelscott got because he couldn't qualify until the last qualifier is enormous. And if he doesn't get to the top 3, he is going to be flamed as well. And I'll be in the frontline if that happens. If you can't be the best for your country, you better have a good excuse especially when you reside 24/7 in a Gaming House. I suppose some are more interested in social interaction as Kennigit mentionned in his blog ...

Shit happens, both Zikto and Demuslim alluded to Zerg being favored against Terran as the reason. Besides, its not as if the US didn't have iNsur, Daisuki and Vibe as top 3 while Sheth, Illusion fell by the wayside (Sheth didn't even make top 16). TLO and Goody (the guy who beat fucking MMA in TvT) made 9-12 for Germany.

They're all signed to top teams and didn't make it.

And that's a pathetic display. It's about time some teams make room for newcomers, instead of doing a circlejerk over 2 new players, why don't we make sure those who aren't interested in representing their country actually get blamed for this.

AMATEUR.

If you want to argue with me on that, you better do more than a list with context.


LOL Why would I want to argue with you? You're a blind Stephano fanboy.

The point of the tournament has nothing to do with individual performance, BlinG and DeMusliM performances were terrible because as a progamer you owed to yourself to do better than those who aren't sponsored. Is it cool to have Zikto and Jonny winning ? Yes it is and I'm satisfied with the outcome of the tournament because it gave spots to people who deserves it. But that wasn't my point.

PS : If you really think 2 guys riding favored match-ups right now is going to change your scene, you are daydreaming and I'll need to get back to you in 6 months. UK isn't the best amateur scene in EU, Sweden is, followed by France and Germany.


Massive rofl at putting France with Germany.

France has a way worse scene than Germany and Ukraine and worse than Poland and Russia too. In fact outside of Stephano you've basically nothing but a Wc3 guy who hasn't done shit in this game and a guy who hasn't done anything of note since he lagged Mvp out of TSL3. You're a one man country with little in the way of up and coming talent.

Poland


not totaly agree with otolia but what an amount of rage by you,true that we have a player who is far ahead other, but it's better than having any players like this, if you know what i mean


If you have 5-10 solid pro's like Germany that's a hell of a lot better than having one world class players and little else.







sure, i totally agree with you, but in ur precedent post it was like u were trashing france scene because there are stephano and the rest, i just want to say that u don't decide the number of solid players that u have, so if we make a check, it's better than to have 0 world class player and 0 solid pro like UK (at least if we are agree about bad performance of demuslim or bling)


Demuslim/Bling is a better combo than Tod/Adelscott that's for sure.

So the only edge France has over England is Stephano.

Plus we have the two Zergs showing promise and making waves recently which France really doesn't.

Germany over Russia ?
If you swap them both, then I would agree with you.

EDIT: And It should be: Sweden/Ukraine/Russia. No way in hell Germany is better than Ukraine.


Lol what? Russia is nowhere near Germany.

Germany
Socke, Hasu Obs, Goody, TLO, Darkforce, DBS, Delphi

Russia
Happy, Titan, Pomi, Slivko, LiveZerg, Aristeo, Bratok.

Socke and HasuObs have more results individually on LAN in major events than the entire Russian team combined and TLO, Darkforce and Goody are all well established pro's well plenty of good finishes in tournaments.

It's a no contest that Germany is better.



You might want to start watching more tournaments then.

So your list indicates more than a matchresult? Or do you base it on your own ranking where Grubby is like rank16 and behind calibers like Sheth? :D
OK, seems legit.

It's like somebody already stated more like Germany, Sweden and Ukraine beeing on one level followed by Russia and Poland.

Maybe Sweden is a bit above, I have to admit that. But Germany-Ukraine is really close imho. With Ukraine having probably the best high ranked players while Germany has a bigger pool of good players.
Of course you can argue about what is more important but let's just watch european WCS finals.

sick lineup.

its like
Sweden, Ukraine
Russia, Germany, Poland
France, UK
Spain, Finland
Rest


So your list indicates more than a matchresult? Or do you base it on your own ranking where Grubby is like rank16 and behind calibers like Sheth? :D
OK, seems legit.

It's like somebody already stated more like Germany, Sweden and Ukraine beeing on one level followed by Russia and Poland.


you can't put germany on the same level as sweden/ukraine


Maybe Sweden is a bit above, I have to admit that. But Germany-Ukraine is really close imho. With Ukraine having probably the best high ranked players while Germany has a bigger pool of good players.
Of course you can argue about what is more important but let's just watch european WCS finals.


The funny thing is, European WCS finals will be completely irrelevant in proving which Country is stronger. For one, due to amount of seeds handed out, Ukraine will only have 2. And France might win it all with Stephano, or a Brit might do it, or Grubby and Ret may end up taking top 4. At that point, it pits individuals of an already high calibre against each other.

Instead, if you were to play a huge tournament with all the players that made it past their respective country specific qualifiers, then you might see Sweden come out top with higher finishes overall, or Germany stake a claim, etc.

Sweden is above all other EU contries by a pretty large margin at this point. What's scary is the gigantic amount of amazing players they have considering they have a really tiny population compared to the other decent countries.

Germany over Russia ?
If you swap them both, then I would agree with you.

EDIT: And It should be: Sweden/Ukraine/Russia. No way in hell Germany is better than Ukraine.


Lol what? Russia is nowhere near Germany.

Germany
Socke, Hasu Obs, Goody, TLO, Darkforce, DBS, Delphi

Russia
Happy, Titan, Pomi, Slivko, LiveZerg, Aristeo, Bratok.

Socke and HasuObs have more results individually on LAN in major events than the entire Russian team combined and TLO, Darkforce and Goody are all well established pro's well plenty of good finishes in tournaments.

It's a no contest that Germany is better.



You might want to start watching more tournaments then.

problem is at european finals Germany has 4 players, while Ukraine only has 2.Will be kinda hard to make comparisons


Yeah but IF for example both ukrainian players fail to qualify for world finals while 3/4 germans make it.... it's not about numbers in itself but more about tendencys.

But I guess you can argue about that like forever so let's just stop

Russia right now is most likely on par with Germany. I don't want to fall into stupid arguements as this is one of them in general. In my opinion, Ukraine are the leaders right now followed by Sweden not so far behind. Germany and Russia are definately close to the top but just a bit lacking.

.... wow that was beyond terrible. I really dislike player bashing but what the hell. I can understand he was losing some mutas here and there, but head on engaging the stalker army, why? He could have gone back to his main, clear the 4 stalkers and 2 colossi and still have 20+ mutas.

Also 5000 minerals, just do make 5 hatches, 5 queens inject 1 time and build a ton of lings, he would have won handily. I cannot say that this wasn't horrible.

to all the people bashing me in the post for playing bad, you're right i did play bad I played alot better in the games that were not casted, but it was difficult for me to be sitting right next to artosis, have a crowd of people cheering over my my monitor, and a camera broadcasting my face and reactions to a stream, in a moment where I was about to get my first win on stream against a player I expected to lose to. But have faith in me I feel once i can get more comfortable playing in those kind of environments you guys will be more impressed with my play, but until then take it easy on me plz )))))) i'll be around in many more future events im sure and will improve, and sorry to anyone that felt dissapointed!


oooh and edit: to clear up the whole muta thing.. I sent my muta's back to my mining base to defend, since my plan at the time was just to defend my mining base with muta until he was forced to move out of his base in which case i would clean up all the buildings, but as i sent them home i tried to build zerglings from a hotkey'd hatch that had died, and the S command stopped all my muta without me realising big mistake from me to not notice and a bigger mistake not to build spines but wont happen again!
