When was the last time he did something out of the ordinary? thing is when they played vs Neeb all KR seemed quite willing to go into ping pong wars so I think Dear won't mind neither. | ||

But I see Nerchio's ZvT as almost figured out, its just that his execution can use improvements. Most of the time he loses not because his plan was flawed, but because he made a few small mistakes. Sometimes its just 1 too many. he really should have won the series against Maru. that game 1 was just a huge throw. If he can beat Maru the other terrans might be beatable too. | ||

Russian chess collapsed too and no one thought it was going to happen in let's say 1980. Foreigners maybe won't take over this year, but if SC2 survives it will for sure not be dominated by koreans anymore. | ||

Yeah it's a little racist I admit. But when another country (not race!) turns out winners every year, year in and year out, we can come up with a new politically incorrect way of saying it. | ||

I don't think he has won a single offline series against a top 5 player at the current time this year. Nerchio's zvt might also be very close to that of Solar/Dark so it will be difficult for him. Top 5 is usually subjective. But when you say Maru you count Proleague, and when you count Proleague, then he definitely has. | ||

Yeah I thought he had Maru beat, and Maru is a great Terran player. Nerchio may not be as good as Solar or Dark when it comes to execution, but he understands ZvT just as well as those guys, and Solar/Dark drink terran blood in their coffee. | ||

ZvT is by far Solar's worst match-up and it always has been. | ||
