Elaborate please on what the toss did? Not seeing the games but always interested to hear neat Toss builds since imo they've got a lot of room for awesome execution.
Two base 7 (?) gate warp prism, pure zealot play in nerchio's main. Nerchio was going mass ling and pretty much instantly lost his lair and tech.
Wow that exact composition was how idra lost his game 2 in kalin series, although I doubt it was executed the same way.

Eh not exactly. In the Idra game it started with 4 sentires to FF ramp, then a wave of zealots, then a mix of sentiry stalkers. Certainly wasn't pure zealot.

There was alot of archons in the game ending push, but not with the prism play.

I think people will notice the European players more if they actually won something at a LAN. Bomber was unknown before he appeared in GSTL but coaches were saying things like "the outcome of the match will be decided on Bomber's performance." Everyone watching was like 'wthuk', because we all assumed ST was the team Rainbow and July were on and everyone else was a scrub. Who was this Bomber kid? Bomber got his fame with the bm and failing to qualify for code A and then winning code A, beating mma, ryung and MVP.
Once a European player does that, they will be noticed. Until then, they will be ignored by most of the NA community.
That was horrible play by Orly, you can't try to make a later Spire and then also skimp on spore crawlers. I guess he didn't scout Idra's Spire in time to adapt?

Yeah, because NA has MLG with it's $5k first prize money - aka the most awsum kickass tournament ever!!! Nobody cares if some1 wins Assembly or SCI or sth with two times the prize money...
