Roro and herO could not keep it up in their first real international test (since WCS Asia was more of a Korean + 2nd class tournament). We saw some really unsual play from both Europeans and North Americans that may have caused this to happen. My money would lie completely on Creator now. His bracket is really doable up to the Semis. And with all that momentum he gained lately, he should be confindent enough to defeat Rain there, who will most likely be waiting. GO CREATOR :-) | ||

EU: 5 (1 Belarus, 2 Spain, 1 Denmark, 1 Russia) KR: 5 NA: 4 (3 US, 1 Canada) TW: 1 SA: 1 SEA: 0 China: 0 IT is possible for semifinals to be 100% korean or european but not north american (or even pan-american) | ||

She can beat Parting it isn't out of the realm of possibility, and if she can do that she just has to beat either Suppy or Killer in a ZvZ (which looks like her strongest match up atm) to put a foreigner in the top 4. Sadly, I just don't think that Suppy or Killer are good enough to beat Parting if he manages to get past Scarlett, so all foreign hopes for a top 4 finish really relies on her getting past Parting tomorrow. There's also the longshot that Idra manages to get past Rain, but I find that INCREDIBLY unlikely. Whoever wins between Lucifron and Vortix will have to go against Creator unless Illusion can miraculously pull the biggest upset in SC2 history to take him down. In the end, I agree I think a Korean (Protoss) top 4 is likely at this point, which is what I was expecting from the very beginning. Parting can also review the games from Scarlett and design a few nice counter/timing - builds. I am really looking forward to IdrA vs Rain - that series got some potential. | ||

I am really looking forward to IdrA vs Rain - that series got some potential. Parting is not the guy that tries to counter specific styles of his opponents. He kinda allways does the same with a very very high level execution. And his PvZ really looked uninspired and a bit helpless once his "WonWonWon" was figured out by Sniper. | ||

I'd say Scarlett is quickly rushing up the ladder of top foreigners with the way she's been playing. To say that Nerchio is the second best foreigner in the world right now I think is a little debateable. (Especially considering how badly Scarlett just beat him, team kill or no.) That Stephano fell was simply due to HerO's last minute brilliance which is still an epic story. | ||

From Curious losing to Titan, to Stephano going out against HerO (yes folks, that's an upset!). Creator and Parting were the only favorites to go through comfortably and unscratched (the 1game Nerchio took off Creator is really no big deal) and this might make them the huge favorites for tomorrow, while I could totally see Parting go out to Scarlett. BUT Curious and Rain are still around and with HerO beating his upcoming Nemesis Stephano noone might say what he'll be capable of doing. Roro and herO could not keep it up in their first real international test (since WCS Asia was more of a Korean + 2nd class tournament).
