WCS Europe continued to be a tournament of upsets as it moved onto the round-of-16 as  mouz.VortiX defeated two Korean legends in  Acer.MMA and IM_Mvp to advance in first place from Group A.
VortiX's had already proved he could take on top Korean players with his championship performance in last weekend's Vasacast Invitational, but few expected him to win his WCS group in such one-sided fashion.
Facing MMA in his first match, VortiX successfully held off a two-barracks attack and followed it with strong muta-ling-bane play to go up 1-0. A surprise roach-baneling bust in game two caught MMA off guard, ending the series in a quick 2-0.
In the winner's match, Mvp didn't offer VortiX much more resistance than MMA. Keeping Mvp's predictable mech vs. Zerg style in mind, VortiX was able to take game one in alarmingly easy fashion with a simple roach attack before Mvp could build his tank count. VortiX then got the jump on Mvp again with a well-hidden 2-base spire in game two, using mutalisks to cripple Mvp's economy before finishing him off using roaches, hydras, and vipers.
With VortiX through to the Ro8 in first place, only one of Mvp and MMA would be able to advance alongside him. MMA survived a spirited challenge from Liquid`Bunny in the loser's match, earning a winner-take-all match against Mvp.
The two rivals traded blows in the first two games, with Mvp's mech defenses holding fast against MMA's bio in game one, while MMA beat Mvp in a mech vs mech duel in game two. The final game saw Mvp attempt to seize the initiative with an aggressive early game attack, only to be repelled by MMA's defenses. Simultaneously, two banshees from MMA entered Mvp's unguarded bases and picked off numerous SCVs, forcing Mvp to resign from the game and the tournament.
VortiX and MMA will move onto the quarterfinal rounds of WCS Europe. Mvp and Bunny are eliminated but have earned seeds in the next season of WCS Europe's Premier League.
Next game day:
Group B: jjakji,  Grubby, Dayshi, Snute

Well, since he won a tournament with some good Koreans few days ago and just swept 4-0 this group, he is one of the candidates for sure.

so sad that Mvp is out -.-

Hes been a top 5 foreigner for like, all of 2013, I would have only ranked 2 or 3 people above him at any point, Scarlett, Naniwa and his brother, Lucifron.

wowow. Vortix best foreigner?
He has been the best foreigner for quite a while imo :D
|
I guess somehow beating a washed up terran is enough to have ppl throw out "best foreigner" labels here and there
|
didnt he talked last time he was happy he not had to play forgg because his zvt is bad and he was happy he only had to play zvp ?
and then 2-0 mma and mvp ... this kid have to win this season !

This can't be happening

Another one.
VortiX was really impressive today, I was worried he wouldnt be able to repeat his Vasacast performance, thankfully I was wrong.
MMA making it out was a surprise, he nearly lost to Bunny aswell

Wow that Vortix micro. crazy stuff

vortix was considered a really strong foreigner throughout 2013 and just beat two koreans 4-0 live in ro16. scarlett hasn't shown any really incredible results recently and naniwa is retiring. plus, vortix's play overall and his micro looked stellar in the games, regardless of the form of MMA and MVP.
not sure why you would make this post other than to be pointlessly negative about something that excites people. some problem with hype for watching a great foreigner play a great round?

Excellent post. Some people just really like crapping on foreigners and/or people in general. It's silly.

yep. and don't get me wrong, he can disagree that vortix is the best foreigner and disagree that vortix's play today was impressive. anyone can post any opinion. but daftfunk's post came off as very bitter and spiteful, which is something i see a lot from naysayers in discussions about "foreign hopes." his post could have easily said "good result for vortix, but i'm personally skeptical about how strong he is" or something constructive. no need to crap on people's joy.
even if vortix retired tomorrow, those 4 games were still a blast to watch!
|
So surprised that MMA did it. Hopefully he plays better in the Ro8
Sad for Mvp
|
Vortix looking really strong now, cool to see Rooting for him to make it into top 16 at the global WCS finals.

How long does it usually take for the vods to be uploaded?

Because ur memory only lasts a few weeks and every time a new tourney a foreigner does well in, he's considered the new best foreigner. And u are only excited that "a foreigner" did so impressive today, not "a strong player". Pretty much divides everyone by race/ nationality now and isn't about skill anymore, but what country u are from. IMO, it isn't the greatest accomplishment getting out of a group stage. Maybe we can save the best foreigner crap until after the semis or somewhere near it. Again, beating Mvp doesn't make someone the greatest, he's lost to other foreigners before and vortix was always known as a patch zerg in 2013 did u just conveniently forget that or just not accept that really was his nickname? No where in here are ppl saying " wow mma is amazing is he back to top form???," just "omg vortix is greatest foreigner look at that drone mine dodge trick he stole from Snute omgomg" and I never mentioned Scarlett or naniwa but he isn't anywhere near accomplished as them.

He's the first foreigner to win a Korean-heavy tournament in like a billion years.

Votix did great today and shows some impressive play, no matter what you say Debbie Downer.

I realise this won't convince a small mind, but watching the games, vortix's play was pretty spectacular. Those petty tricks are very fun to watch and impressive indeed, but weren't the reason he won. And referring to patchzergs, surely you must be trolling.

Check yourself and your facts. "Best foreigner" was followed by a "?" when it was brought up. And then one guy said he was "He has been the best foreigner for quite a while imo :"D" In my opinion", followed by a smiley face! Its like one step above "I think he is totally awesome and super keen!"
Then you drank a big old glass of salty-hateraid and started calling MVP washed up and here we are. I hope you're happy!

Because ur memory only lasts a few weeks and every time a new tourney a foreigner does well in, he's considered the new best foreigner. And u are only excited that "a foreigner" did so impressive today, not "a strong player". Pretty much divides everyone by race/ nationality now and isn't about skill anymore, but what country u are from. IMO, it isn't the greatest accomplishment getting out of a group stage. Maybe we can save the best foreigner crap until after the semis or somewhere near it. Again, beating Mvp doesn't make someone the greatest, he's lost to other foreigners before and vortix was always known as a patch zerg in 2013 did u just conveniently forget that or just not accept that really was his nickname? No where in here are ppl saying " wow mma is amazing is he back to top form???," just "omg vortix is greatest foreigner look at that drone mine dodge trick he stole from Snute omgomg" and I never mentioned Scarlett or naniwa but he isn't anywhere near accomplished as them. He's the first foreigner to win a Korean-heavy tournament in like a billion years. hes won the vasacast tourney that had 6 / 32 koreans. what is this "Korean-heavy" that you speak of? again, race/nationality dividing. keep proving my point
where he put out 4 of the 6, your original post was that he beat 1 "washed up terran," then you say how quickly people forget and move on... but the washed up terran is wcs season champ last year. and patch zerg was from 2012, you know, before hots... lastly its always a storyline when foreigners beat Koreans because of how little it happens, its not a dividing issue but just a recurring theme that all foreign countries (Europe and Americas) seem to get behind together. don't know about this dividing of nationalities argument you half hazardly threw out in your later posts but seems quite a stretch. people were excited over good games and a streak and you came to rain on the parade, salty.

Hasn't any sport always been about what country you are from? Olympics? World cup? Isn't that a normal thing?

Wow. So impressed with Vortix. Not even dropping a single map.

Vortix looking to be in pretty good shape, although I would love to see how he he holds up in some other match-ups than ZvT.
From the games that i've watched (note: not all of them) he's living off the success of his ZvT pretty much entirely right now.

that gif is just a true reflection of how skilled vortix is when he's focussed. it would be nice to see him win big

That's the rest of the foreigners' fault.

So awesome, Vortix has always been a great player; even in his "slump" last year he was getting creative and making consistent appearances in the later rounds of tournaments. Hope he can make a splash in the knockout rounds!

were MMA and Mvp playing from kr or eu? Awesome result for vortix either way, but if they're playing from korea not so impressive

VORTIXXXXX. He impressed me in wings too. Funny thing is he slumped HARD and he's back.
|
I'm not sure what's make me laugh more... the ignorance of people around here or the "always so funny" TL prediction. Both maybe linked.
GG vortix, that's all.

I hope Vortix can pass through protosses. I have no doubt he will beat any terran but since protoss are so strong right now I have my doubt on him beating a protoss.

With guys like Vortix and Nerchio you have to remember they aren't full time, so they won't really touch the game for a while sometimes. Even more impressive they are the ones giving Koreans a run for their money.

So much wrong in your post but this is the worst. Left me with a picture of VortiX playing amazing games, destroying nerds left and right, and then coming out to an unimpressed crowd going like "you know, when every zerg looked good, you looked good just like every other zerg"... Oh-Fucking-Really?
We don't have to accept it was his nickname. You have to accept it's irrelevant.

MMA "lucked" his way to EU season 3 champ? My god, that man should buy a lottery ticket if he's that lucky!

You mean the Super Tournament where Polt beat MMA 4-0 in the finals?
scratch that, your post is so irredeemably bad I don't even know where to start.

I would have liked to hear what Lucifron is up to. SC2 all over for him, still playing on a casual basis, or just taking a break from pro-gaming?

Afaik, Lucifron took a break to focus on school, he's still listed on Mouz's roster so he might play the odd match in ATC maybe.

I still feel a bit down after that last game between Mvp and MMA. I really thought Mvp would win since MMA played bad TvT against Bunny. And it all started great with that first game and then....

I thought I saw this, but then didn't believe it when I remembered later. Great GIF and amazing play so far from Vortix!
Foreigners fighting, cmon TLO and Snute!

when you're putting Nestea/Tassadar/Golden in the good korean category you're just hurting yourself. and look at the current form now, not what happened in 2013.

Those gifs are awesome. The extractor is genius, and the roach one is just insanely fast and impressive. Best split second micro I've ever seen in SC2.

I'm not sure what you mean by "hurting yourself". I also think you're a bit confused. Perhaps you think I said they're the top koreans? I didn't. Those 3 are not the top koreans, but they are good players. Golden even winning RedBull a couple months before losing to Scarlett.
And no, you don't just look at a single tournament, or 2 then label them the best foreigner. There's something called 'consistency' that is important. There's a reason why people like Naniwa and Scarlett were considered the best foreigners, whereas someone like Zanster who beat BboongBbong, Solar, and HerO in a span of a couple months is not, and never was.

Unfortunately, people's memories are notoriously short. That being said, while Vortix's recent form has been great, until he goes much deeper in WCS or maintains this form for a while Scarlett will still be the #1
