Surprised MC, MVP and NESTEA aren't representing USA as well. Pretty sure Kaelaris is from GB. Looking forward to see how Cale does as a host, should be interesting. Edit: They fixed Kaelaris' flag and added a bunch more. | ||

Rotti and Bitter did all the IEMs because they were with ESL, now that they are based in California and working for a different organisation they don't have time to fly over for IEM  | ||

Nestea just does not have the greatest stamina, and I believe he's going to be in California this weekend for IPL - pretty crazy schedule for him. The open bracket for MVP just sounds like the most exhausting thing ever for him. Haha Glad to see them there cause I love them - I just hope they don't regret it XD Super stoked Oz is there though - Top 3 gogogo! This event is just looking better and better though!

No worries, this IEM provides prize money to top 24, with the minimum being $600. Not every tournament is DreamHack, which only gives to top 4. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_VII_-_Global_Challenge_Cologne | ||

 Is not that i don't like the guy or think he "makes to much money and will be the Fatality of starcraft" but i really, really hate how he tries to do in depth analysis of something by framing it into a generic template and not actually analyzing the strategy and strategic choices based on current meta game. I fell like instead of hiring him they could have gone for about 2 "unknown" European casters and maybe it would have cost a little bit less, the final 8 will likely best 80% Tastosis anyway so if you need some more casters for the open bracket/less important matches ... etc why not pick the up and coming guys, they need to find a new biterdam tbh and its not like they afford hiring one of the "big casting duos" atm. Meh... I'm hating too much today. At least the lineup is insane, not all the Europeans i would like to see tho and that kinda of makes me sad panda, but still. | ||

But why not do it Artosis style than ? Is there anyone at a "bronze level" even that can say he doesn't understand Artosis, or even Apollo ? They pretty much explain the tactic that each of the opponents are doing and how the tactic interact with each other at a very basic level and than they go into stuff such as meta game, subtilities that each player does, positioning. Day9 will just ramble on about how gas timing influences a build, completely ignore how the build interact with each other and in the end it just seems like a "clusterfuck" of thoughts some of which are almost irrelevant compared to other things he omits the whole game. I understand this style might be what he uses in his dailyes and what not but for casting a game you ether have to say the "cold hard thought" first and talk about smaller things later like the previously mentioned caster do or just ramble on nonsensical things and try to be funny and make jokes along with it... Husky , TB.. etc do that, im oky listening to there cast. I don't know, maybe its just me but i really don't like the guys casting and every time an events bring him along due to the number of fans he was it just makes me fell sad that other better ( at least in my opinion ) and cheaper caster could be bought instead. He would be much better as a host imo. | ||

I was hoping he would regain some confidence by winning this I think tensions in the SlayerS team made him withdraw, i mean with the removal of Crank and the heated disscusion between Crank and Jesica. But who knows maybe he had other reasons. | ||
