Socke gonna surprise everyone again I bet.

But by now it shouldn't really be a surprise.

Socke, Grubby and Stephano as the only non koreans in the pools. I think NA has definately fallen off now as it seems. There are just no results from NA players anymore. Europe has still a huge pool of strong players who can beat GSL calibre players on a good day. NA needs to step it up!


I don't think it's going to happen until HoTS. People are all playing D3 in NA these days.

Depends who he plays. From watching, he seems to rely on all-ins a lot. Works against some players, not against others.

I think this is the first time I've really looked at a major tournament where I expected to see a decent split between foreigners and Koreans (just because it's kind of been that way at MLGs) and I see that the Koreans have officially taken over. Just my personal expectation though.

Kinda makes me a little sad, but obviously it's justified.

Pool C has all 4 players closest in ability level, but Pool D has three absolute terrors (and Socke). So if Group of Death = closest games/ hardest to predict, then C. If GoD = highest level of play, then D.

Then you didn´t have seen enough games from him. One of Sockes greatest strengths are the plethora of builds he can execute, which gives him a good versatility and make him hard to predict. He is for example definitely capable of playing macro games. I would say that in a played out Bo3 at least one of his matches is normally macro orientated.

He does have a lot of timing attacks in his repertoire. The most of them are not real All-Ins, though, because they have mostly a transition out of it.

I'm not sure why people think "he relies on all-ins" = "he's bad." Socke is obviously good enough to take games off of good players. I have yet to see him prove himself in a macro game against a top tier S-class Korean. Hopefully he does well at MLG.

where did he say "he relies on all-ins" = "he's bad."? All he said is you haven't seen enough of Socke if what you believe he relies on all-ins a lot. And I agree with him.

I don't think it's going to happen until HoTS. People are all playing D3 in NA these days.


NA qualifiers are flooded with koreans which are better than EU players whereas EU qualifier is almost COMPLETELY absent of koreans.

NA has great players but they have harder qualifiers.
