As usual, don't player bash, don't flame, and don't balance whine. Failure to heed this warning will have consequences.

great event, european zergs showing what theyre made of in a stacked event. Mvp shows his class again, and that probably still is the greatest player.

enjoyed it more than dreamhack and especially any MLG event this year. Amazing.

MVP man, truly the best.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

I hope for the sake of IEM that they drastically improve their quality of broadcast, because the show they offered us the last days reminded me of 2010 E-Sports, while all other tournaments have constantly improved their product.

The Intel Extreme Masters Cologne at gamescom are over. It was a lot of hard work in the past five days (and even weeks before) but also great fun. I hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you TeamLiquid for being one of the most awesome communities to ever exist.

Cu in China.



Great show and some superb matches by some very good players.

you didnt watch the tournament, right?^^

honestly: the only company who improved their product as much as ESL/IEM is the NASL. Dreamhack improved a little as well (although they started on a higher level) while MLG and IPL stayed the same or got worse (IPL) i feel.

While Nerchio has been playing exceptionally well, I still think Stephano is cemented as the best foreigner. Nerchio has brilliant holds and game sense, but his mechanics are lacking. His creep spread is not the same as korean zergs and his epm is 50+ lower than Stephanos.

He does have a much better record vs MC than Stephano, but Stephano's TvZ I feel is much better.

i agree on stephano still being cemented as best foreigner easily, but i dont think nerchio lacks mechanics at all compared to stephano. what i do think is that stephano has better "game sense" in a way that he knows what to do on the fly at all times. A tiny factor may also be that stephano simply doesnt give a fuck about anything, nerchio doesnt have nerve issues or anything, but hes not stone cold i feel.

dno, both are extremly good, u also have to consider that Nerchio doesnt play full-time.

Turns out the final is going to be shown on ZDF (German broadcaster) on monday with Hasuobs and Mori casting
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
