Very glad for Ret and ToD. A very good selection all around with its fair share of both veteran and aspîring hopes. Interesting and exciting mix.

Hahaha it's funny how out of the 8 brackets, in 7 of them there were players from the Challenger league, only 1 from Premier :D

Ah its Sad that Naniwa, thorzain AND Sase lost :/ All swedes, that usually do so well. But its easier also to play all the challengenger rounds and come to the final yesterday with good confidence, just won a few games and are up to speed, compared to get out from p league round of 16, be angry and have just 1 game. Its hard, I guess thats why almost all round of 16 players lost that game yesterday.

And people, dont mind Naniwa when he speaks out, you dont know why is like he is against Tefel for example, why do people want to police everyones behaviour that isnt same as all random slaves? Let people be who they want to be, Naniwa loves his fans, he really do, and appreciate all your support. Thorzain is easy to like, also Sase is easy to like, you just have to love Naniwa for his skill and his will to please the audiance.

Gogo Nani, you will get through from the group games, you always do better from each game you play, just like in MLG or dreamhack now lately, lose first game and then shape up, feel more comfortable. Its very important for some ppl, clearly it was important for all PL players who lost yesterday against challengers.

At least 1 swedish in PL or I wont even watch it. Thats how booring it is to watch without one countryman in it.

But the good parts about yesterday. Bly went through, who really is a skilled player in my opinion but fail, perhaps because of nervs in tours, I dont know, but that was fun, and ToD lol, that was most impressive, also grubby that had a lucky tournament into PL, he isnt as good as those who beat, sometimes you have an uperhand while being the underdog. So that was the biggest upset, that grubby went through for sure, one of the most overrated players in sc2, but sick in wc3

not sure Grubby is overrated or you're trolling quite a bit... He's got a huge following so much is true, and he CAN beat MC and Nerchio - already did in WoL and now continued to do so. In Nerchio's case WoL Zerg helped quite a bit as well(not that he is an inferior player but that much can be said in hindsight).

But damn I am so happy for ToD ;-D, that guy deserves the success - back when he was in fnatic he basically did everything right and jumped through a loot of hoops, went to KR and trained very hard there yet very closely did not qualify for Code A (iirc), was team captain when they acquired the Koreans and despite all that effort it was not crowned by big success. Let's hope now with XMG he shows what he really is capable of.

ToD & Grubby Fighting!

in the age of "Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV" leadership.

I really like that they got through it quickly and didn't bother prolonging it. For me personally, it made an otherwise uninteresting league more exciting to watch.

It was six, Ret was in premier as well. ToD and Tefel are the only players from the challenger qualifiers to make it through.

Hmm? Should´nt Robert have more and bigger achievments than Joffrey?

Congratz to all, who made it, although I personally would have liked a few other results.

Not sure to be happy or sad about ToD advancing... I really want him to be casting. I suppose you got to be happy that he's happy...

On the one hand, I'm really happy both Ret and Grubby advanced. On the other, this is one of the many times it's very hard to remain a Naniwa fan.
