This is sad because this is the very best that North America has at the moment. What other terran could hold his own against Squirtle? QXC or Major maybe?

Definetly major.

Major can probably take a game or 2

I very, very much doubt qxc could, at least for the time being. Major might be a better bet, but I say that because I basically have no real idea as to his skill level.

I don't know if IPL appreciate TB telling it like it is, they always like to keep things hyped and continue along the line of "it could go anyone's way" etc.

Major is definitely one of the most under-rated Terrans.

It's their own fault they invited illusion against the likes of squirtle

I would say Major's overall skill is better than illusion's, but he also said that TvP is his worst MU, so the differential in skill may be smaller than you think... Then again TvP isn't illusion's best MU (I think its TvT?).

I missed the first game, but the second game could easily have gone in Illusion's favor. Three base v three base, Colossus and Storm tech out but Illusion in supply lead and with Ghosts and Vikings. Illusion forced a cancel on Squirtle's fourth, got his up as a Planetary and had several very decent trades while pressuring. Ended with Squirtle double expanding, trading off all but one Colossus, went for all Templar/Archon while Illusion went up to 17 Vikings and sniped the Planetary with DTs while Illusion failed to break the fourth or spot the fifth.

With better positioning and better macro, as Illusion's production was lacking and he probably should have had a fifth at some point as well, and of course not forgetting to put up a Turret by his Planetary, he would have won. Of course, I guess all I am saying is that...if Illusion had a much better late game, he would have won. Or he could have won earlier in the game while Squirtle was definitely playing from behind before the time came for the Protoss to be able to tech switch completely off Colossus.

sorry Illusion I know you are probably near the top amongest foreigners and you might be able to take games off of high CodAers and low CodeSers but Squritle is in his own league (along with the other mid to high CodeSers big boys)

5-0, 5-1 Squritle if Squritle's cat decided to suddenly take a nap on his keyboard and won't budge for the enterity of game 4

I don't think its sad. NA is known for a lack of terrans and Squirtle is one of the best players in the world.

IPL has a difficult task here with this format. If you have amazing koreans in the defending position but want to bring in foreigners (and NA players especially) who havent played yet, its very hard to find some who got a decent shot.
Don't forget last week when everyone said that vortix will get 5-0ed and then he put up a very decent fight and got 3 games.
I hope Nani and Sase will get a chance soon.
