Sometime during yesterday's broadcast of WCS Europe Premier League I noticed that Apollo and Kaelaris, amid frantic discussions about the rapidly declining number of foreigner hopes in the tournament, somehow forgot about Happy. All the Grubbys, TLOs, Naniwas and Scarletts certainly make for more exciting prospects than a Ukranian player who has always come up short, but let's be fair: short of Naniwa, every player I've mentioned has always disappointed. The truth of the matter lies in TLO's enduring popularity and in the myth of his ultimate rise, which as you have certainly noticed, never came. It is the destiny of foreign players to inherit, but never fulfill, the greatest stories in Starcraft 2. Yesterday it was Happy who led the charge. He has gone across the moat, shall we say, but is still a ways from climbing the battlements. It is there that they always fall.

Happy took the group 2-0. Duckdeok followed. TLO and Sase went back the way they came.
WCS Europe Premier League continues today at 18:00 CET with Group C.
