Is this a one-off, or did he also play ghost/lib in the earlier series (as a result of PTSD due to his series against Guru)? He definitely did not make as many ravens as is advised in any of the games vs Guru yesterday, | ||

Good effort though. ___ Also, seeing all these French players qualify, and Stephano's strong form both today and yesterday really adds to the narrative of just what a breakout Reynor had in Nation Wars. France has some great players. | ||

Also, looking at the seed distribution for WCS as a whole, while I really can't fault them population wise, and even skill-wise until recently, I'd say next year they should re-think the 4 seeds from NA, and only 2 from Latin America. Slowly but surely Latin America is catching up and even surpassing the NA scene. Special, Kelazur, and Cham vs Neeb, Scarlett, and NoRegret would be pretty close. Then again, it's also really cool that Copa America is connected to WCS, that's pretty legit. | ||

Skill-wise NA doesn't deserve as many seeds as EU, and SEA and Taiwan certainly don't deserve two seeds a piece. edit Oh and unsurprisingly avilo got a match loss for ignoring his warning about chatting. | ||

NA has probably won a near equivalent or potentially even greater number of WCS events than EU. The EU has a greater overall skill level, but the NA has equivalent top skill level. | ||

Pity Scarlett ended up in a group with two of her countrymen, but she should be able to make it to the playoffs pretty easy there. Same with Neeb. Group D looks like the toughest group for both EU and NA. | ||
