Tails would have a hard time to qualify for EU Premier Division even if he lived in Europe. Just like Daisy, who did nothing when he was in Europe, even failed to make the EPS top 8. The only Korean participating in the qualifiers with a real shot at making Premier Division is Finale.

No, that's bullshit. Tails is good enough to qualify for Premier, I mean, so are 20 other Europeans but I'd say Tails would still be one of the players with the best chances if he lived in EU.

He's not THAT bad.

Depends on who he plays .Even Without lag i still rate at least 15 Europeans even or better than him.

There are not 15 europeans, probably not even 5, who could win games against good players in GSTL regularly, let alone devise snipe builds to take out anyone. Tied perhaps with finale, Tails is by far the best player in this qualifier.

still tails is not like "uh he beast all europeans" i can name instant 10 who are easy better and so naming 15 isnt that hard (even some unknown i am sure in this matchup tails would have HUGE problems, and the players arent rly known ... jaeh 300ms ARE MUCH but top pros can still win (like hyun) in europe ...
but tail lose to guys i never heared of ^^

I think this is a weak argument. But alright, i'll play along - name 10 european pros who could win games regularly in GSTL.

I thought the game was naming 10 EU players who are better than Tails? :o

Indeed. And to be considered better, I'd say you'd need to match his kill-list either in individual leagues or team leagues.

We don't know how good any Europeans are right now because they've barely played HOTS competitively.

We all assume Stephano is still number one but he's been smashed in HOTS so far.

Results wise it's MaNa -> Luci/VortiX atm, I'd say. Haven't seen anything out of Stephano.

Bunny/Welmu/BratOK last foreign hopes

The duck will not be stopped!

I'd be very sad if Feast doesn't qualify today. Making it two times in a row in RO4/RO8 is incredibly hard, it's going to be very difficult to make it once again. But he should qualify. If he beats TargA then the semifinal is probably easier.

On the other side, I hope an Empire guy goes through.

What have Lucifron/Vortix done in HOTS? Lucifron looked really behind at IEM but a lot has changed since then.

Mana I guess has done the best but that amounts to be good in minor team leagues and I can't really get behind that as good evidence.

If Welmu wins, I think he has a very good chance of beating the duck.

Hmm, never heard of MYM Starbuck, yet he takes out Lowely, Harstem and Adelscott. Guy seems to be on a roll today.

Starbuck pretty good. Ive been following him in some zotac cups etc. he's really good and has special strats i havent seen anybody use yet. i.e. against airtoss for example (which do work).
