Germans fighting! Well, Hero is the current EPS champion, he is pretty much one of the "usual germans" by now. Heh, true that. The fact he won EPS somehow eluded my mind^^ I hope Heromarine goes directly into premier! Well he's basically taken up the mantle of foreigner hope so that goes w/o saying =P.
Now will you shut up already, i rememmber the last terran that was supposed to be the new foreigner hope and we all know how that turned out :<

I thought so aswell, a lot of people were quite happy Marinelord/Lambo etc made it this far.. feeling sad that for example Marinelord lost doesnt mean we hate his opponent.. Yeah I mean I'm sad some of their accomplishments are being belittled because they're protoss, but I don't think that's a majority. Well based on how we treated the so-called "patchzergs", you're wrong. I still think it's one of the biggest travesties of 2012. Patchzerg was to a minor extend justified It was perfectly justified. Accomplishments of many players were owed purely to Blizzards refusal to do their job and balancing the game. So, why are these players all still around, when they were just "patchzergs"? "Those" players may be around but their patch-zerg era results are not. And no - I don't mean Stephano/Sacralett/Nerchio. I know, that you probably mean other guys than those. But the guys, who were mostly accused of being a "patchzerg" are also still active. Vortix is still Premier (and rightly so, he is a beast). SortOf played beatiful games against Jjakji in the first qualifier and made it through the second. sLivko made it to premier in HotS. Those are the guys, who were accused of being "patchzergs" the most and none of them has fallen of. Can't say I agree about their results but that is not really the point. By being visible in that time period many zerg players were picked up by pro teams (some top level at that) and received training opportunities unavailable to protoss/terran players. It makes no sense to send a foreign terran or a protoss to Korea for training when you know a zerg will have much better return on investment.

Well yeah, its quite sad an unlucky draw can end your journy but then again it could make him a real Hero if he manages to pass some of the ~top 8 WCS EU players.

I asked Mana in his twitch chat and while he does have 200 wins, they are not on one account so he can't play tomorrow .

That`s too bad, given that he is looking for a new team :/
I hope that Ret and Snute didn`t do the same mistake.
