Sry, but Kas is number one . btw ye thorzain shines in tvp but his other matchups arent near top notch. sry, no offense intended, but it just is not true So Kas is best in Europe in TvT and TvZ (although I honestly would give both to Jinro(yeah he's European)), but Thorzain is best in the World in TvP. I don't see how you can disregard that so swiftly. Also we havn't seen much TvT or TvZ out of thorzain lately, but he roflstomped Fruitdealer, and we don't know what he has up his sleeve for Kas in the semi finals. Don't count him out just because of a "bad" 50% TvT win ratio. His TvZ and TvP are both on 70% according to liquipedia. I'm not gonna go so far as to say that he's the best terran in Europe, but I dare say he's arguably up there  | ||

Kas was so nervous and you could clearly see he wasnt playing his best..Give Kas time as soon he get used to be in the front stage he can beat everyone.. Kas is defiantly one of the worlds best players atm | ||

And no, MC doesn't have the best PvT in the world, and even if he does, he certainly didn't play it that day. | ||

As well I'm there were many other small cash tournaments not listed. You're right. There's prizemoney cutoffs (based upon tournament types), as many people aren't terribly interested in the majority of these regional events and $10 online cups. While there may be tournaments listed here with less dollar value than events such as the NESC2 League, the cutoff for smaller regional events is much higher than that of let's say, an online cup. The reasoning for this is because these regional events often require buy-ins from the players and do not generally draw NEARLY the competition level that these online cups do. Additionally, the prizes often aren't in the form of actual money, but minor sponsor loot (keyboards, cases, mouses, etc.). I mean, even *I* have placed top 8 in a tournament with a $2,500 pool (~$1000 money, ~$1500 prizes), and I'm mid-master's league (at best). In short, accessibility and level of competition are considered when compiling this roundup, however if the money pool is high enough (Around $300-400+ with no buy-ins), it's gonna be added anyway. | ||
