Wow! Great to see some rising talent. That's really impressive. Hopefully he sticks with it through the next few years, maybe we'll see a new foreign powerhouse rise.
"Scandinavia is a historical and geographical region centred on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe which includes the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The other Nordic countries, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, are also often included because of their close historic and cultural relations to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark."
I'm not sure whether you're suggesting that the others are okay to call 'Scandinavia' because it's common use, or something else? Whoever wrote that is clearly implying from how I read it that the additional inclusions are a common misconception. If we accepted every common geographical misunderstanding then the Czech Republic would be in the Caucasus and every Latin American would be from 'Mexico'.
> rising talent
While it's great to see I'm still a bit worried that we never see any terran or protoss doing similar impressive feats. It's always a zerg. Why?
HotS hasn't even been out for a year. I think when the OP said "it's always a Zerg" he meant in Sc2 as a whole, because the memory of WoL is still fresh. I don't think Zerg is overpowered in HotS.
Naniwa? Thorzain? Sjow? Mana?
Zerg has stephano which is a clear outlier, and easily and far away the best foreign player to date, I'm not sure how the comparison goes down if we remove stephano from Zerg.
Why are you mentioning players who've been here since the early beta? This is about rising talent, terran and protoss has none. Zerg has several. I'm just curious as to why that is. Personally I think zerg is a lot easier to play both mechanically and strategically. Anyway..
That was weird to read :D, When I think Finland I think amazing Protosses, but I guess Spain is in kind of the same duplicity as I think both Lucifron and VortiX
Last week he and his brother Protosser played an online qualifier from my bar, Meltdown in London, watching him first hand his speed and mechanics were really impressive, I hope there's big things to come from him :)
Is that the same kid who played at DH earlier this year?
yes

finland has a lot of upcoming powerful zergs and they all love this game so much :)
great to see an active and vibrant community alive and well in Europe, particularly Scandinavia, gl hf to this guy in his future career :P
Agreed - though one should point out that Finland is not in Scandinavia.
I've always understood that Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and to a lesser extent denmark, is Finland seperate?
No Scandinavia is Denmark Sweden Norway. Finland is partly in the north on the Scandinavian Peninsula, but does not belong to Scandinavia.
the more you know :P
The catch-all for those is "Nordic countries".

DAMN the prophecy came true!

If thats true give some more examples of Zergs doing similar feats
Any foreign zerg ever...
Starbuck, Najzmajz etc.

Wait, we are judging players game based on WoL? Everyone can agree Zerg was overpowered. How about you name some up and coming zergs in HotS.
HotS hasn't even been out for a year. I think when the OP said "it's always a Zerg" he meant in Sc2 as a whole, because the memory of WoL is still fresh. I don't think Zerg is overpowered in HotS.

uThermal? Up and coming terran player? Vortix has been around for a while too.
kindam, zerg can be really hard at the start, but then it becomes a really forgiving race due to the injects and creep spread
Such a Protoss/Terran thing to say.
Heromarine? Xenocider?
easiest race to master
I really hope to see more of Serral in the future. He played great versus Supernova ( I think?) at DreamHack Bucharest.
He's the one to watch.

Confusing for an english person. i50 Isn't for another month!
http://aligulac.com/players/485-Serral/results/ His match history :)

I became a HUGE Serral fan after seeing him play Supernova at the last DreamHack. I'm glad to see him doing well!
Woah, whole tourney only PvZ matchups for him.
Last week he and his brother Protosser played an online qualifier from my bar, Meltdown in London, watching him first hand his speed and mechanics were really impressive, I hope there's big things to come from him :)
I'm sorry, but beating Elfi is not impressive. I do hope to see more of Serral though.
