Europe has about 20 players that can compete on that level - thats the main difference between America and Europe in Sc2.
7-3 is kind of what you could expect, i even feel a 8-2 would be the standard result if all players would play the A-Game. Disagree. There are tons of unknowns most people here have never even heard about for US. Good players like dde or RaNgeD who nobody really knows much about (or seems to not really).
Ya the same with Europe. Logically

I would say the skill disparity is quite significant in EU's favor, to be honest. If anything I think EU has more of these so-called "unknowns" (at least to the wider audience) that are actually pretty high level players, whereas NA on the other hand has a lot of players that don't really live up to the reputation / hype (just check EG's roster).

Do you have any recommended games? I don't have the time to watch all of them so I'd like to choose carefully ^^ .

7-3 is kind of what you could expect, i even feel a 8-2 would be the standard result if all players would play the A-Game. That 20 is completely pulled out of your ass. You could name 20 but about 14 wouldn't even be on the same level as the top players. The fact is most of these series could have easily gone the other way and since this wasn't a round robin players only got matched up into single MUs, some of which one might excel in while others don't. Is EU probably better overall? Ya. Does this prove it? No. Is it as large a disparity as you think it is? Absolutely not.
This sums up my thoughts completely. I would certainly put Europe ahead of NA as far as the # of top players, and because of this it also adds another level of skill to its top, simply by there being more higher level players to compete again. Whether the reason is cultural, merely a reflection of population, or some unknown factor can't really be pin pointed. This was a fun little tournament, but don't blow it out of proportion that this is the be all end all of important matches.

Thanks a lot to tosS for setting up this tournament. Very high profile players here results in some very exciting match ups. I will be looking forward to future events!
Also big thanks to all the shoutcasters!

Just watched the Tyler vs Demuslim series... wow. That was the worst play from Tyler I've ever seen. I seriously think that he may have been drunk or something.
