Tiamat
[11] Champion
Special regard to Keev. I have been watching this competitor for a long time now for the most part I have almost all of his videos. As a competitor I see serious talent, mind games, etc. and I think he would have been a natural threat for the entire team regardless of the fact that he uses Nightmare who is lower on the totem poll. I think team France dropped the ball on him.
I agree, no Keev is a big loss for the French team. I'd wager most of the US team players have only very basic matchup experience against Nightmare, and Keev is extremely skilled with him. Nightmare has gotten very little tournament play in the US and has never placed high in a SC4 major iirc. I'm not sure if Keev has much experience against a couple of the US team characters though, so certain matchups might result in both players being equally inexperienced. Are there any videos of him fighting Amy? (though lack of videos doesn't indicate lack of experience) I'd like to see if there are.
