how did anything I say relate to skill at all? we are talking about hype. although i'd love to see illusion or major vs lucifron it would perhaps help me to see that not all of his hype is bullcrap or perhaps it would prove once again that European arrogance is mostly unfounded.

Ladies and gentleman this is not the next Redbull Invitational.. this is the players who dropped out of WCS EU Premier.
It may not help the HYPE but I for one love new faces working their way up.

and yet he hasn't ever won anything at all ever not anything with anyone of importance atleast again name something he's done.

For sure he is overhyped but skillwise the difference is pretty clear to anyone with eyes

Ok I don't want to get involved too heavily but I will say he placed third at WCS EU 2012 at the height of the "OMG Zerg imba" so I would say that is pretty decent. I agree though, casters hype him too much for his skill level.

No? I don't remember either of them winning anything major either. Lucifron at least has some decent tournament placings and more 1st place finishes in the minor tournaments from what I can see. He's even done better in his respective region. Both Illusion and Major have yet to make it past a ro32 in WCS.

Ok, since you ask:
4-0 in both group stages in WCS EU Season 1, including 2-0 Mvp offline (ro8 finish)
Only player, who is able to defeat Stardust in DH Summer (ro8 finish)
Defeating 2 koreans (including Code-S player (at that time) YugiOh) at DH Valencia ( top 6 finish, qualified for DH Winter)
3rd in WCS Europe in 2012
Total of 10 ro16 finishes at Premier tournaments.
Now lets look at Illusion:
exactly 1 ro16 finish in premier tournaments. That was IEM Sao Paolo, which coincedently had 16 players, which included 8 american qualifiers. 2nd place at "Ye Olde map tournament" (a tourney, which played old (and not neccessarily balanced) maps for fun. Including Steppes of War. Also 2nd place at ONOG, where he for some reason was the only second place group finisher, who played another 2nd place finisher. He defeated Boyo, Destiny and iNcontoL to make the top 4, where he lost to Stephano, defeated Catz and then lost to Kas, because Stephano decided to rather sleep than playing the tournament.
MajOr:
Exactly 1 ro16 finish in Premier tournaments in TSL 4. He beat Hyun there, which is worth smth., but from what I heard, the series was not that good and he got 3-0ed by johnnyrecco directly after that. Also he won A few bigger tournaments in Latin America, but the competition there was pretty much on Killer.

Wow, didn't expect to find so much player bashing here... WP to Starbuck and Genius, gl in the ro16.

Nice work, Xoronius. And I want another YOMT  C'mon Doa work your magic.

ForGG, this season is for you. Don't fail now.

How does this even makes sence? Both of them are foreign terrans too and between them (talking about achievments, not current skill) and LucifroN there are still Happy, Naama, Brat_OK, GoOdy, Strelok, ClouD, Dayshi, QXC, Fenix, BeastyQT, Demuslim, Tarson and probably a few more, that I am forgetting at the moment (With Jinro, ThorZaiN,Sjow and Kas ahead of both).
Edit: Morrow. Still think of him as Zerg, because he was, when I started watching Starcraft. But technically his GC win was with terran as well.
Edit2: Moved Sjow to the "ahead of both"-section. Almost forgot, how consistently high he used to place in WoL.
