The big surprise for me though was Nathanias and DeMuslim casting: very nice combination of personalities between the two of them. | ||

He's still not used to the tournament environment, I guess. Nerves, lack of preparation, exploitable weaknesses - whatever holds him back, I'm sure it's something that will vanish with time and experience. | ||

Except for the "it'll go away with time" part, you nailed it. It doesn't always go away with time, but things like nerves and build variation are the difference. A build that wrecks on ladder can often be predicted in tournaments, and a build that can surprise you in a tournament is too inconsistent on ladder. And, of course, when you're not thinking about "how do I beat this random Zerg", but rather, "how do I beat Solar", that changes your whole mindset. If Lilbow could get onto a team that sticks, he could become great. But then, he could just as easily become Demuslism. | ||

Yeah, it's true that every player doesn't necessarily evolve in that direction, but I'm hoping for his sake that he pulls a Bunny! | ||
