For me it's more that we as spectators want to see even matches and not 3:0. Thus Darkforce or other players I mentioned -could- be more interesting

Should have gone Flash build against Kas, just sayin'.

NA have many good players or promising players ... LZ is playing EU ladder and i hope he will kick some ass on MLG  Many NA players ladder on EU, Drewbie does of course too. Cups are in general worse practice than ladder.
But you have a chance at winning a prize money! If more skilled players play from NA, then more people would watch those cups. If more audience, then more interest from sponsors. More sponsors equals more prize money equals more good players equals??? PROFIT!

wow the results are pretty sick
|
If drewbie wins at least 1 match in this series he should get extra prize money.

E-sports has always been more popular in Europe than it is in NA, not sure if that will ever change. It's more of a reality to become a pro-gamer in Europe than NA, so naturally the European players will practice more. Especially in somewhere like Sweden where E-sports is just so much more popular than anywhere in NA. I feel like Sc2 is getting pretty big in NA though, bigger than any PC e-sports game has been in NA..so we could see more people trying to become pro.

I really think that the opponents so far (apart from beastyqt imo) were a little too much for drewbie. I agree that DarkForce would be great. I can also see a series with Bischu, Sarens, Stephano (actually all of M should be good) to be entertaining and close.
gl drewbie, I've been enjoying these showmatches nevertheless
|
Lol...0-3 vs europe, i thought he would do better but the opponents are touch
|
he isn't doing well recently ^^

I don't think Stephano would be close at all tbh.
edit: Does Sarens still play actively?
|
Well Stephano is really good, but could be interesting. 
I wouldn't mind seeing him play Adelscott also, but that's maybe to much to ask for?
|
or get Nerchio.... His ZvT is fun to watch
|
nerchio and stephano would be too much. just as kas is.
but its about the entertainment and practice for drewbie i guess, thats why i like such "strong" choices

|

Wow, I thought nobody wanted to play TvT with Goody 
Joking aside,this will be extremely interesting,I like how drewbie always selects good opponents even though he's been losing pretty hard. I will definately check this out at some point,this Bo5 could be going on for hours
