Even Nerchio himself didn't notice the mistake ooooooooooooooor no fucks were given?

I doubt he could lose to Neeb in that tournament as he went on and lost to Showtime in the grand final.

He definitely changed the perception of foreigners when he won the Kespa Cup. Oh wait, this is not Neeb, this is just Nerchio.

I can't wait to see Nerchio go for a 3-pronged engagement against the main army while TY has two liberators at one base, a drop at another and a runby at a 3rd.

Or TY just plays mech and the awesomeness doesn't happen.

heh, hope he gets out of his group and humbles Dark :p

Him, Neeb and possibly Snute are the only foreigners making it to the ro8 I'd say. Big rank up from past Blizzcons.

I disagree with comparing Nerchio with a Korean in disguise, when Neeb is exactly that. Nerchio represents the foreign scene as the King and is more of a Korean slayer than a Korean himself. His play is not AS mechanical and not at all as robotic. If this was Star Wars he would be the futile rebel attempt to overthrow the empire, with primitive tech and less numbers. Using his wits and cordinated attacks he makes for the final blow and when it's all over and Nerchio picks up the trophy all we can hear in our heads is singing Ewoks.

Great write up.

My ideal finals is Nerchio vs Dark in an epic ZvZ for the trophy.

I think it's actually not mentioned enough that Nerchio's ZvZ has been often like, top 15 in the world for about 5 years, and recently it's climbed back into top 10 I'd say. I don't think it was ever Life/DRG/Nestea (in their primes) level, but it was always pretty much hands down best ZvZ outside of Korea and a contender against most Koreans I'd say.
