I feel TT1's accomplishments has gone under the radar somehow. He got a 2nd at an MLG in 2010 and then did very well in the GSL World Championships. Due to MLG bracket points and missing events TT1 goes from a runner-up to needing to go through the Open Bracket again and again. He plays well live and online, and while I'm not a fan of his I consider that what he has accomplished offline and online is considerable not to be more respected (earlier transgressions of his aside plz).

satiini is severely underrated for me atm. hes massing a LOT of ladder and beating the very best players in europe every week in the cups and winning his fair share. he should be in next TL tournament wrap up i would assume.

welmu the finnish protoss has been doing really well lately aswell

also goody. i dont think people give him enough credit. his macro has really improved and i find myself stealing his tvz builds. he really does have one of the best tvz's in europe

efli is another protoss whos been silently owning up the weekly cups and even had a huge win over stephano the other day 2-0 and has qaulified for both IEM china and IEM NY. fantastic break out performance from him.

lucifron!! this guy is on the cusp of being extremely famous. people in the know and who follow the cups have seen exactly how fucking good this guy is and many put him above kas as the best terran maybe the best euro atm on pure skill. his run in the IEM qaul last week where he went on a huge tear and was only stopped by sjow a few days later due to having to reschedule the match. the 2-0 series vs mana was absolutely amazing and im putting his bio/ghost play above thorzains at this point. his song and dance is beautiful to watch. expect big things and possibly a move to a big team in the coming months.

gonna throw in an entire team here and say team blast as a whole is underrated. with tefel and syz being top level zergs who enter almost every cup and do well every week and the race switching kalin. these guys are prlly the top "2nd tier" team in europe

the German terran RMDX might not mean anything to many but ive been following him closely the last few months and hes really impressing me. by no means a top terran or even nipping at their heals. he has shown steady improvement though and wouldnt be surprised to see him put into the top tier in the near future

as you prlly know i follow the euro scene and there is just so much dam depth its not funny. i could keep going on and on and listing heaps more players but for every ones sake ill just limit myself to the above :D

If anything, all of the European weekly cup stars are overrated because of inflated win rates and elos from crushing scrubs every week.

just isnt true my friend. the weekly especially sunday/montly cups have almost every top euro playing in them.

To paraphrase a wise veteran of the Starcraft community . . . being a top euro Starcraft player is like being the smartest kid in the special ed class.

you dont rate the euro scene, thats fine but it just isnt true that europe doesnt have an amazing amount of talent and depth in the sc2 scene right now. to suggest otherwise would be gross ignorance

nobody is saying they are better than the koreans but these players are fantastic/creative/smart and fast in their own right and to just dismiss them as special ed(non koreans) is a little insulting, simplistic and narrow minded

oGsJookTo. Played like shit before he got CodeB'ed but his play been monumentally better as of late. I don't see him winning any championships, but he is still underrated, if not just passed over.

soQt for sure. Hes been playing for 3 days and got into Diamond playing master-league players and winning on a regular basis.

Watched him beat up some really good players on his first days so this guy got some real talen and is a really quick learner!

I think Nerchio is both Overrated and Underrated. He is overrated because all of a sudden hes the fotm (flavor of the month). But then again, it was more like a 15 minutes of fame and most people have written him off already.

Personally, I hate his play style (as a fellow zerg player) and normally root against him. However, I do respect him for beating all these huge names consistently. I think if he joins a better team and gets in some good practice he could be one of the great foreigners.

I'm sure he has been listed some where in this thread but I want to mention EGAxslav. I'd never seen much of his play until i saw him streaming. I've been watching the past few days whenever I can catch it. I must say, as a newbie protoss, i find him to be really educational on his stream. His play style looks really calm and focused. He always seems to play just at the right pace. Very smart strategically as well. I think he just hasn't had all the best showings, but certainly is capable of producing some great results in the near future.

He's been streaming the past few days so if anyone wants to see him play try to catch him. He isn't featured so be sure to check every time your looking. He'll be near the top of non-featured streamers. Axslav fighting!
