Morrow versus BlinG
The map? Overgrowth, standard.
We'll see no proxies. 1:00 The score is two one. Morrow leads, but both are bad. We could see some throws. 2:00 Gateway is made, cool. Morrow opens CC first.

Another barracks. He thinks BlinG's on just one base. His SCV looks. 5:00 Expansion exposed. Bling gets a stargate, not gates. Morrow takes his gas. 6:00 SCV hiding. BlinG goes oracle, standard. Saturates his "third" 7:00  48  45 Morrow will need stim. He gets it. Worker patrols. Not sure why? Tech? Scout? 8:00 60 53 Morrow pressures now. He goes for the third of BlinG. Momma core helping. 9:00 64 49 Lots die. Seven probes. The protoss goes voids. A bust? Morrow gets bunkers. 10:00 70 65 Colossus for BlinG. Takes his natural now, good. Oracles kill rines.
11:00 84 80
Blink for Bling, tounge twist.
Morrow mine drops, BlinG sees.
Very little dies.
12:00 95 85
Conc shell, marine health.
Morrow moving out, two base.
Can BlinG defend? Well?
13:00 110 104
Morrow breaks some rocks.
Not offensively, his own...
BlinG going full greed.
BlinG moves out as well.
But he only clears tower.
Plus one/plus one starts.
14:00 137 127
Revelation cast.
Morrow might have moved out too.
He's just regrouping.
MorroW took a third.
BlinG moves out, MorroW dropping.
We'll see what happens.

Standard Frenglish I think stuff like "opening", "builder order", "match up" etc. is used in every language in their English versions
Ouverture works fine instead of opening, but ordre de construction is fairly awkward and match-up has no equivalent

Bleh feel like Morrow could've taken a better engagement, utilizing that high ground spot for his vikings

I just realized that my preview is really awful. I'm not going to be a TL writer.

Haha barely
WCS EU Challenger preview:
+ Show Spoiler + Day 1:
Majestic vs Happy: It's David against Goliath. Majestic, the Protoss playing for Mousesports is the only Spanish player to make it into WCS Challenger. Happy is not a rookie, it's his 9th participation to WCS. Happy is known for his strong late game in TvP whereas Majestic is known to have some strong timings on two bases. Happy knows how to hold two bases all-in.
Happy 3 – 1 Majestic
Welmu vs Beastyqt: Welmu is a strong and consistent Protoss in Europe, he played every season of WCS and his TvP is his strongest match up. He plays a solid style and his all-ins are really powerful. Beastyqt is a former retired SC2 player who managed to make a comeback after playing League of Legends and Starbow at a high level. He managed to qualify after playing an incredible match against Dayshi. His mechanics and TvP are great but Welmu has a killer instinct.
Welmu 3 – 1 Beastyqt
Harstem vs Serral : The Dutch Protoss has to face one of the youngest WCS players. The Finnish Zerg is a rookie, it's his second participation in WCS and he has to play against one of the most experienced Protoss in Europe. Harstem is currently living in the ROOT house and he can prepare his match with Hydra, one of the favourites to win WCS.
Harstem 3 – 2 Serral
MaNa vs HeRoMaRinE : The Polish Protoss player for TeamLiquid who has played almost all WCS seasons. He has played StarCraft II since the beta and he's one of the most consistent Protoss in Europe. HeRoMaRinE is one of the European hopes, he holds a high rank on the european ladder, has a strong record in the national league against Protoss and managed to qualify for this season of WCS without trouble. MaNa is a really experienced player and Bunny has the best TvP in Europe.
MaNa 2 – 3 HeRoMaRinE
Day 2:
uThermal vs Bly : The Dutch Terran player for AT Gaming has a solid record against Zerg, he has taken maps off Solar, TerrOr and DRG. Bly, the Ukrainian Protoss playing for Acer is known for his cheese and the famous #blyonfire. He's really strong in online tournament play and has a strong teammate, MMA who's going to practice with him for this match.
Uthermal 3 – 2 Bly
ShoWTimE vs Lilbow : The German player is one of the most consistent players in his country, he is always performing in EPS Germany and he's always maintains a high position on the ladder. The Protoss player for Millenium is considered by experts of the scene as one of the scariest Protoss in the foreign scene. He has defeated plenty of Korean players in online tournaments like Solar, YoDa or First.
ShoWTimE 2 – 3 Lilbow
BlinG vs MorroW : Both of these players are considered experienced. BlinG has been up and down during his career but he has managed to qualify for WCS many times. MorroW, the Swedish player won the first ever Major Starcraft 2 event back in 2010 with his famous matches against IdrA. They know each other a lot and they both know that mindgames are going to be really important for this match.
BlinG 3 – 1 MorroW
TLO vs Ret: Both are Zerg, and teammates. They practice together, they have been living together, and are talking on a daily basis. For a week they are going to practice against each other, they won't speak to each other for a week, they are friend but they both really want this spot for Premier League. TLO is known for being creative and Ret for making drones.
TLO 3 – 2 Ret
Day 3:
TargA vs Kas : The Terran playing for Cascade is one of the most if not the most dedicated foreign player. He played over 20 000 games in 5 years and he's still one of the strongest Terrans in Europe. He recently qualified for IEM Taipei. TargA, the Norwegian player for Imaginary Gaming is known to have a lot of build orders, he knows when to play macro and know when he can all-in. They both have a lot of experience but the Zerg player has a small advantage for this Bo5.
TargA 3 – 1 Kas
Snute vs PsiOniC : Again it’s David against Goliath, Snute is one of the strongest foreign players while PsiOniC is an up and coming player on the European scene despite having strong results during French LAN. Snute is heavily favoured against PsiOniC, the player from TeamLiquid has a strong ZvP, he defeated herO a few times while PsiOniC is known for his PvT and not for his PvZ,
Snute 3 – 0 PsiOniC
Starbuck vs FireCake : Second mirror match for this preview. The player for Mousesport is known for using an unorthodox style, he beat Genius, a Korean Protoss, with only drones. The second player is Firecake playing for PunchLine. The Frenchmen known for his bad behaviour and his game against MaNa during WCS Challenger.
Starbuck 3 – 1 FireCake
ForGG vs MarineLorD : David against Goliath once again. This match is most likely going to be a quick 3-0 for the Korean Terran. MarineLorD is a strong Terran in Europe, having decent results online despite having never qualified for WCS before this season. MarineLorD is living in the Millenium gaming house for a few weeks and he's only practicing TvT for a week.
ForGG 3 – 0 MarineLorD
Nerchio vs NaNiwa : This match is the best match for Challenger. NaNiwa came back from a 10 month break and he managed to qualify for the Challenger. Nerchio was one of the strongest European Zerg in 2012 and 2013. Both of them like to express their anger on Twitter and TeamLiquid but they are both top players in Europe.
Nerchio 2 – 3 NaNiwa
Bunny vs PtitDrogo: Last match of the European Challenger. Bunny is the strongest European Terran in Europe and PtitDrogo is an up and coming player, he's known for his strong PvZ. Unfortunately for the Nuit Blanche player he has issues with PvT and Bunny has great teammates with MaNa and HerO to practice TvP.
Bunny 3 – 1 PtitDrogo
WCS NA Challenger preview:
+ Show Spoiler + Day 1:
Qxc vs Kane : qxc said that he wanted to take a break after this WCS season and come back for LotV. The American Terran all killed IM during GSTL and has had great TvZ lately, taking games off Scarlett, winning against viOLet and barely taking a game against Jaedong during HomeStoryCup. Kane, the Canadian Zerg playing for mYinsanity is a strong player, he was top 16 GM when he lived in Switzerland. He is a strong macro player but he knows how to counter a greedy build from a Terran.
Qxc 3 – 2 Kane
puCK vs Guitarcheese : puCK is the strongest Protoss in North America, he has a great Colossus micro, knows how to hold cheese and he knows how to execute a proper 7 Gate Robot. Guitarcheese is a mystery, an excellent Zerg player on the NA server but he also plays random at GM level.
PuCK 3 – 1 Guitarcheese
Polt vs Temper : David against Goliath, Polt has been a top player since 2011, Temper is a Terran player unknown in the pro scene. He qualified for Challenger but he has almost no chance against Captain America.
Polt 3 – 0 Temper
Scarlett vs Astrea : Scarlett said that she wants to take a long break after this WCS season but she wants to come back for LotV. She openly plays DotA 2 but she's still the strongest Zerg on the NA server. Astrea, the American Protoss for ROOT Gaming is known for his 2 base all-ins. If he prepares well he can qualify for WCS Premier League
Scarlett 3 – 2 Astrea
Day 2:
HuK vs State: HuK is one of the oldest pro gamers, he played GSL back when BoxeR was still active, won MLG and a DH. He's also known for his “top 3 micro” but he's a really strong player. State, the former PRIME player has been living in Korea for over a year now. He's currently practicing on his own after living on the PRIME then Axiom house. State has a network to find strong practice partners to prepare his match up.
HuK 3 – 2 State
MaSa vs Hydra: MaSa is a strong Terran playing for ROOT Gaming but he has to face the favourite, his teammate, Hydra. The Korean is living in the ROOT house and he has managed to get a visa. The former CJ Entus player has a great TvZ and he was ranked first on the European ladder with an 80 % win rate.
MaSa 0 – 3 Hydra
viOLet vs Xenocider : The Korean Zerg player is one of the few players who can brag to have a build order with his name on it. The viOLet push is still used 3 years after its creation. Xenocider was a foreign hope back in 2012. He did not make a name for himself in oversea tournaments but he's still qualified for WCS Challenger.
ViOLet 3 – 1 Xenocider
Suppy vs Bails : Suppy, the American Zerg stopped being a full time pro gamer and decided to go back to his studies but still managed to qualify for WCS Challenger. Bails is an American player and he plays a solid style. Suppy is way more experienced and he knows how to handle the pressure of this kind of match.
Suppy 3 – 1 Bails
