Impressive... i think elazer and his mom are the only 2 people in the world who could foresee this result I mean, i know that Koreans has kind of shown that they do dominate the scene still, but fairly certain we knew about strength of EU ZvZ since last year at least? i wouldn't have put elazer at the top of the euro scene, even if its zvz euro vs kr.. i don't understand this whole thing about euro zvz being ahead of kr zvz anyway. is it because europe has serral?? how would such a pattern emerge
Because Europe simply plays more ZvZs at their higher levels, it's this simple, just look at all the Reynor vs Serral matches.

Not only, "EZ" Liquibet for me.
On a serious note, I have been saying for the last ten days that Elazer would have been a tough opponent for Dark; I initially predicted Dark 3-2 but I eventually bet on Elazer.
Do never undervalue EU ZvZ!

What a great start for elazer. I'm really happy for him.

that is the biggest upset i can remember since sjow took a game off of Life like 6 years ago What the fuck, Dark zvz is so overestimated it's insane. screenshot me your liquibet saying elazer would win I don't do liquidbet, that say, if you really think this is the same kind of upset, it's very telling about your limited knowledge about the current scene. Just like putting Life vs sjow as the biggest upset since the last 6y actually.
i do think it's the same kind of upset.. it's reigning gsl champion. easy to say you knew it all along with no proof or nothing on the line just saying it to be right. why to take that stance is lost on me. it's like kissing your sister. high five.

The power of hindsight is a powerful thing indeed.
|
I wonder how many of those youtube-viewing Poles watched that
|
I thought Dark had a decent chance of an upset. Thought he was headed for a 1:3 after Game 2 & 3 though.

|
what a way for Elazer to justify his being voted in
|
Now for TIME to beat soO, man that would be fun.
|
lmao this thread is hilarious. suddenly elazer getting into the tournament was not a meme at all and everyone knew he was going to win vs reigning gsl champion

Nah life vs sjow maybe biggest upset of all time.
Like a C-tier foreigner taking down the best player in the world and heavy tournament favorite.
Was a great match.

Dark is not even close to what monster Life was and considering how weak the Korean Zerg play was in the past months we can't even say much about his ZvZ. Which has just shown(and Elazer isn't the best ZvZ out there)
Edit>
If you keep comparing to this match you're actually downplaying how good Elazer is in ZvZ. MeomaikA v Maru is way bigger than this considering Maru's ZvT and how MeomaikA is not even close the level he should have to win it.

Elazer got into the tournament in a weird way, many people were badmouthing him. But I guess he earned his place with this victory 
|
i'd be lying to say i expected this, but i was really rooting for Elazer once the casters all just laughed him off. that was so disrespectful.
|
So cool, what a series, elazer does it again vs Dark!

I believe many people here would agree that Elazer facing Dark was one of the best brackets for him. I'm sure any non Z is more favored against Elazer than Dark was.

i agree. i really wanted him to win after artosis was ragging on him but i'm not going to pretend i believed he would win, even after game 1 and game 2

Elazer is 8th in WCS ranking so I don't think him getting into the tournament is a "meme".
