Makes me smile to see Socke and Hasuobs still around.
It's been what, three years now? Glad to see the German scene can support two actual pros for such a long period.

I hope Darkforce joins the fun, since he is playing quite a bit again. Would be really oldschool then  .
|
I'd love to see TLO invited, would be a nice opportunity to see how he fares against his German countrymen!

Doesn't seem fair. Nobody in that roster could touch him.

Hasu has a 60-65% record against TLO IIRC, he beat him at their latest encounter in SC2L a few weeks ago and he is the only german in the WCS ro16 (If you don´t count Jürgen and the Bad Tölz Terran ofc.). Also I remember seing TLO getting 2-0´ed by Showtime in a german WCG qualfier (where he did´nt qualify for the national finals until now).
I´d say there are about 5-6 people with a reasonable shot against TLO and Hasu is favored against him IMHO.

Will be interesting to see if Imbatoss manages to qualify. I feel like he could give the pros a run for their money.
