Hey Day, at the end of the Final, can you write a spoiler on your first post? I would greatly appreciate it becuase it would save me the trouble of browsing through 20 pages of live reports to find who won which games and in what order. Thanks in advance.
I'm too tired to stay up and I want the results before I watch the games myself. (I'm hella weird like that, primarily because I want to know if I jumped up the ranks in Liquibet or not.)
Besides I gotta hot date tomorrow, jkillashark needs his beauty sleep.

Thats what everyone gets when its "loading" Patience ;p
When I open the playsc.com/live link I get just a grey screen with "Download Tvants", the screen in that screenshot doesn't come up. I've already installed Tvants and am using IE for it. Any ideas what the problem is?
thx for every live reporter. normally I'm watching the games by myself but today I'm at my parents home and its impossible to watch for me with their connection.
nada's expo CC is almost finished. Anytime feels comfortable enough to bring probes back to his main, althugh there is 1 vulture still trying to do some damage
nada has pulled away from anytime's main and anytime is going to try to do some damage here w/ the reaver, however nada is completely prepared w/ seiged tanks, mines galore in the main
nada is still going to try to do some harass w/ the vultures
Anytime tries to do a cute quick reaveer drop, kills maybe 2-3 SCV's but has to retreat due to tank fire (he didn't lose the reaver or dragoon)
Nada adds factories (4 total, 1 w/ addon) and Anytime still only had 2 gateways
Anytime is currently expanding to the bottom left natural
Nada is adding a 5th factory and an academy. No engineering bay as of yet, nada is going to try to build up his muscle and avoid defneing for too long
-WOW NADA IS A BAD ASS. IT appears nada is going to try to expand to his northern 2nd natural (the one @12)
Nada has spotted anytime's 3rd expo and has a few vultures poking around, but doing very little damage. Anytime's expo is now up and Nada's 3rd expo has just begun (at 12)
Nada pulls a miracle out of nowhere and barely forces anytime back, but nada lost almost everything
Anytime STILL HARASSING w/ that 1 reaver @12
Anytime has retaken the bottom left expansion
Anytime appears to be very calm and collected and nada is looking kind of nervous
Nada is trying to move diagonally across the map towards @5 but Anytime is running around the center w/ 2 arbiters and a pretty big dragoon/zealot army
Nada has a CC floating nearby the @1 mineral only natural
Anytime has about 10 gateways and is macroing excellently
AAAHHH anytime tries to bust Nada by straight up attacking the front. Unfortunately, Nada was well prepared and repels the attack w/ significantly larger numbers Anytime spots the expansion @1 and proceeds to send his entire army there to rape it
Nada is caught off guard w/ very few units there
Nada tries to trap it w/ most of his army by a perfect stasis prevents Anytime's army from being trapped
in the meanwhile Anytime drops @12 AGAIN JFKLSDJFKLSAJFAS and kills like 10 SCVs
anytime shows great unit control, or maybe nada's is just bad. anytime always pushes towards nada units, killing lots of them very quick and when nada finally has his army established the protoss units pull back before they take heavy losses. that happened a couple of times now with the result that anytime has a huge army while nada only has a medium sized one. another factor is the constant harass by anytime which nada fails to counter.
ok forget what i said, this time anytime pulled through and lost everything. but his eco is ahead. maybe nada will expo now and the game will go on forever. great! ^^
Currently, Nada has 2 running expansions @12 and @1, Anytime has the top right main, @3 (which is about to die) and @5. ANYTIME GOES FOR A BIG COUNTER ATTACK
Nada has billions of vultures and looks to be killing it off pretty well
After watching game 1 a thought struck me, wouldn't brining 3-5 medics in to battle be a great counter to that irritating statis? Without statis anytime would hardly have won a single battle and I doubt a few medics+restoration would drain to much of resources nor provide that much of a challange micro wise.
anytime played simply amazing... all that reaver and later templar harrasing was impressive... i cant believe he actually managed to kill some seruious SCV vs a monster of 500 apm and inhuman multitasking...
i am always amazed how little units anytime needs to kill so many nadas units... Really effective, i guess its storm, 3-3 for toss and arbiter combination... If i was playin i would need two times that much units to kill same army
Nada really paid for not building turrets...I don't think he even had a ebay. Although he was great at fending off those reaver harass w/ vultures earlier, that didn't cut it later when he was engaged in battles, exactly when anytime would reaver / storm drop his 12 expo.

does restoration actually affect statis? i was under the impression that it doesnt...
anywhoz... FINALLY we have a final that can live up to the hype

I think NaDa is smarter than you. You want to spend less money on static defense and more on units. He was running out of money, so he shouldn't spend it on turrets.
This is a completely different Anytime from the one we saw against Midas, holy shit he played well! At this level the games are so incredibly intense, one mistake basically cost Nada a game he would've probably won otherwise (running into Anytime's units and losing all his army in the beginning).
i really dont think nada did anything wrong... its just that anytime inflicted damage on different places at the same time... nada didn do that. Anytimes harrasment very good
This game was action from start to finish; its already one of the best games i've ever seen in starleague history.
Anytime opens up straight up standard: gateway+range-->robo-->gateway-->expands after seeing Nada get fast seige mode. Nada on the other hand, completely psyched out his opponent by getting siege first, and proceeding to do a super aggressive 6 vulture + 3 tank push EXTREMELY early in the game. Anytime barely holds this off, letting 3 vultures into his main and running an (empty) shuttle around Nada's main to force nada to pull back.
At this point, both players show how sexy macro oriented games they've prepared. Nada and anytime promptly take their 3rd gas naturals, and nada takes a 4th expansion thereafter. As Nada is massing up w/ standard 2 armory 7 factory tank/vulture, Anytime has kept his gateway count low (at 6) and built 2 forges, fast templar, and ARBITERS. Anytime then added 10 GATEWAYS and began to hardcore mass like crazy.
At this point, macro mode was in full effect and both players were generating giant amounts of units. Anytime was the clear brilliant player: while performing dozens of enormous allin arbiter+storm+stasis attacks, anytime was dropping reavers and templar all over Nada's expansion. Nada managed to hold strong over and over and over again. It slowly seemed as thought nada was gaining the upperhand
However, looking back at anytime's main, anytime had about 20 gateways constantly pouring out units. Nada had held out defensively for long enough. Nada had made a handful of offensives, killing 1 expo during each attack, but in is last attack, Anytime caught Nada at an insanely good angle. 2 stasisses and 50 billion zealots later, Nada typed GG before his units even unfroze.

You don't need to be an ass in every post.
I think NaDa would've been better off making turrets, but things we should keep in mind are: 1.) It's easy for us to say what a player should have done since we can see both players. 2.) Games at this level are so intense that even progamers don't always (edit) make the best decisions.

nada doesn't like ebays or something? i thought they'd be a worthy investment this game, he was always running out of energy and anytime always managed to get his dts away.
dude, gotta get it right it was SCAN fighting, turrets are for n00bs ;p
Maybe he's referring to how Nada seems to have had the turrets disabled, and won't use them :D (I'm not watching the stream, I prefer to follow the games purely via the text reports, so I might be wrong about him not making any turrets -_-)

Anytime is now taking his southern natural and Nada almost has 4 vultures out now
WOW ANYTIME IS BRILLIANT. he _RUSHED_ for reavers. that is REAVER BEFORE SHUTTLE. Anytime has his reaver up and operational, ready to rape the incoming drop.
nada has wraith out to counter the shuttle but anytime uses goons well to counter nada saves the wraith nada adding 3 more facts total 1 with addon and 3 coming
anytime trying to bring shuttle w/ reaver and goon but is caught by the patrolling wraith and is forced to drop the goon and back off
ANYTIME brings 4 shuttles with goons and reavers and drops in nadas main but nada brings back units in time with gols shuttles forced to leave and anytime loses lotta goons and reavers
omg OMGGGGG nads brings 4 drops and anytime does too to each others bases they see each other going across but dont stop or retreat, they go on to each others bases to attack anytime loses all his force
but nada completes destroying anytimes expansion at 3!!!
Didnt get it ... Anytime had 3 goons + river vs 3 vultures . He also had obs but he tried to safe his exp too late when the tanks were already there...

From what I saw, he had 2-3 goons and an observer that was about half map distance away. Also, the shuttle came out in time. Duno.

funny!! anytime has a probe hiding in nadas base but nada doesnt know and rallys his rines to the ramp anytime will scout later to see what nada is up to.. > <;;
In game 3, Anytime lost his second expo because he lost 1 goon to mines and 1 got damaged by mines. NaDa then went back and got 2 tanks and destroyed teh second expo.

Anytime is building a bunch of more gateways in his main (5-6 total) and a citadel. Anytime only has 12 dragoons (which seems to be cutting it kind of thin)
I feel almost like Nada could attack pretty soon here and actually do some damage
Nada moving out w/ Tanks and vultures!
the vultures appear not to have speed yet!
Nada is pushing kind of slowly sieging and unseiging pretty quickly to move forward pretty rapidly

Nada has taken his mineral only natural and Anytime is doing some quality Zealot bombing at Nada's front to take out some vulnerable tanks
Anytime still running off ~6-7 gateways
Nada adding on more factories (to 6 total)
and ZOMG Nada is making turrets!
Anytime currently taking his mineral only natural. Nada's mineral only natural is up and running solid
Anytime takes a shuttle around Nada's main to get an exact idea of what's going on in there. Anytime now has a forge upgrading. Anytime still macroing solid off 7 gateways.
STARGATE IN THE WORKS TOO
Anytime doing some more solid zealot bombing. Anytime hasn't overexpanded yet however.
He's correctly playing this one very cautiously/slowly in the midsts of Nada's ultra scary play
wow anytime played that real smooth. it's gonna be 3-2 as i predicted... but i'm really hoping for reaper toss to bring it home! god i love starleague finals. nailbiting finish please!
go nada! T_T how can this be? his macro play is losing terribly on any bigger map... what ever happened to the guy who won against foru's 50 gates? he should just fucking TURTLE and MASS EXPAND now. or is that not viable against the many carriers protosses use recently?
Nada hasn't walled yet, and Anytime is just going straight up standard. Perhaps we'll see the same playstyle in this game as in the first (similar to Boxer vs Anytime on Ride of Valkyries)
Nada being very safe and poking around his base w/ a marine to check out what's up
Range coming for Anytime
Anytime has killed the scouting SCV. Nada making marines and addon for his factory

Anytime is playing very well, in fact i'd have to say he has the advantage right now
Nada's CC JUST now finished and anytime's has been running for a while too
Anytime playing very defensively right now
Nada tries to drop some more vultures to kill probes, but doens't manage to take out many.
Anytime has extremely well posititioned dragons
Nada now beginning the buildup phase: he has 4 factories, 1 with addon. Anytime has 4 gateways in his main and has taken the gas at his expansion. Academy out for Nada.
Nada running around the center of the map w/ a bunch of vultures and a dropship (with 2 tanks i believe)
NADA LOSES THE DROPSHIP!!
NADA HAS VULTURES IN ANYTIME's MAIN BUT IT DOESNT WORK

nada did some vult drops doing little damage, anytime managed to FE safely
nada expanded later and harassed constantly not killing much but not losing much, and as anytime was making carriers nada then pushed out with 5 tanks and lots of vults and with good micro he managed to get anytime to attack in a bad way and winning the game by crushing his army
man before the game ended i was thinking "fuck anytime is playing so strong" he played nearly flawless until the last attack, just goes to show you what a machine nada is, wins against the odds
What this means for me; OSL Semi-final; nada vs goodfriend - wrong bet OSL Semi-final; midas vs anytime - wrong bet OSL Final; nada vs anytime - wrong bet the one time i VOTE for anytime and he loses yayyyy.... and in MSL i got the finals right, and semis wrong goooo liquibet

You only vote for Anytime when he faces a "hot as fuck" NaDa ? You only have yourself to blame d00d ^_^
anyways... yea im kinda happy for nada man, i mean he is a kool guy and all. but like fucking now maybe i need to change race or something.... well good game, and close game, the last game i didnt think nada was goingt o win. i mean he lost so many stuff to drop and didnt even kill that much. if anytime didnt go carriers it would have been different
NaDa's reaction: He jumped up and thrusted his fists in the air, and ran out the booth. He went straight for the Golden Mouse on a little flaming platform and bowed.

yeah obviously, i thought that only first one has the Golden mouse. anyways, that's almost the same thing, the first one would be the one who is remembered... Nada is a legend...
of course the first one will be THE golden mouse, but winning 3 OSL titles will always be an amazing feat and i don't think it will lose its prestige (its not like we will see these every 3rd OSL or anything)
hah totally missed it yesterday night, but I just read 42 pages of this thread and it was nearly as exciting as watching. Although when the games are on the tracker I'll be sure to get them.
man, today is the best final i ever watch because i got the stream. those last times, i ussually follow the live report but yeah it does loose the atmosphere at all !! but you unlucky man, the stream is exiting today... )
after brazil won the 3rd world cup first noone cared about winning it 3 times, people will continue to care about winning obviously, but winning for the 3rd time will not be like "OMFG THE 3RD TIME!!!!!!!" anymore hehe

They never played bo series in Korea, so I would disagree. Midas almost beat Savior in msl so NaDa has at least equal chances. I am not saying he will win, but he has a good shoot at it. Savior`s "dominance" has to end one day.
Since people are saying it, I'm not sure Nada can be classified as the best StarCraft player, but in terms of how long he's been a dominant player, even if that time has been broken up, he just might be the best.

I remember the game on luna so vivdly in the back of my mind:
Nada started at top right savior top left. Savior builds up with a standard 12 hatch and goes to fast lair. Nada does the traditional fe with 6 marines and lands his cc, timing well with his comsats just being built. Scans and finds a spire in production. Turrets scour the the main and nat, he knows the mutas are coming. However, much to his surprise, the mutas perform an elaborate dance around the defenses and ends up killing scvs and m+m in the tens. Nada, eventually recooperates after 2 minutes from the harass, but savior had a functional expo at bottom left pumping gas while another expo being built at bottom right. Lurkers have come out, hive was under way, and the m+m began heading towards bottom right.3 lurkers positioned themselves at the top of the ramp of the base at bottom right, but in a very un-nada like way, he managed to suicide a few of his marines in an attempt to kill some, even though he had his vessel pin-point right over them. At this moment, Hydra range/speed was fully upgraded, +1 armor had been up'ed and defliers became ready. A massive surge of hydra/lurk approaches the front line of nada's nat, and obliterates the defenses and the few tanks there. A blinding set of orange dust covers the terran's front, and to nada's dismay, savior kills the cc and approaches the ramp of him. Vessels, madly irradiate the lurkers, and in over a minute, all are finally killed. But it was not over, nada had been drought of his economy, and his vessels have been plagued into a state of despair. Savior, with his massive forces, set in the final cut, the deafening blow that would seal his doom. In no way shape or form, has the genius been confronted with such a maestro of such orchestrated perfection.

And that was a beautiful game. But I agree with the posters above me , things can go wrong and Nada can beat savior, but in my opinion the good moneys on Savior for victor.
aaaaagh, i so thought anytime had that last game after that beautiful defense. with carriers pending and no goliaths in sight i thought ok just stall for a little longer, then pick off the tanks and this game is yours!
then to my horror he charges in and loses everything while i scream WTF!!!!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK when the score was 2-2 and the last game was being aired, I went to lye down on my bed for a second since it was 3am, thinking id get back up in a minute. I feel asleep, and I missed the final game :[
I duno if Anytime had the last game actually. Nada was freaking amazing. He kept up harass the whole game and came from behind. If you think about it he was positioned right outside Anytime's nat. It would take one more step to kill his nexus. I think the carrier was about half way done. If it was really close to being finished, he would have tried to stall more. If he loses his nat, it wont look too good for him even if he barely manages to push him out.
Basically Nada opened with a fake FD build. He had plenty of marines and what Anytime thought was 1 factory and soon to be a CC. Nada instead made a starport instead of a CC. He then left with his marines and 1 tank to Anytime's warping natural while dropping 2 vults in Anytime's main and eventually ferrying over the marines/tanks as well. Anytime deflects the harass well, while Nada barely expands.
Anytime, feeling that the threat is over and that he is ahead (from what I think he was thinking), he made a stargate. However, Nada kept harassing and one of the vultures (I believe) from his drop actually scouts the stargate. Nada then knew Anytime would be short on ground troops, built up a little, and did a nicely timed push and won the game.

shit really federer defated nadal?A?!??! ipomg i haven't been catching up with tennis in AGES. what tourney is this? details?
poor anytime, you could tell that his game 2 strategy was meticulously planned. his slight mistake in probe micro really screwed him up. i guess he didn't expect nada react so perfectly with the really fast rax.
i'm glad to see nada back on a roll though! hopefully he shows as much improvement in his tvz as his tvp so he can beat savior
Those games (especially game 5 OMG) were so awesome. Even better than the Boxer/Oov series, and the emotion/hype was just as big, if not bigger. I practically burst into tears when the final gg came and nada started going nuts.
Every single second of that game 5 was so amazingly tense, holy crap

yeah, really, just watched the vods... man, did i go sad when those vulture just wouldn't stop landing in P's main Anytime almost had it... funny that when he tried to cheese he lost and won the games he played most straight up.
Anway, hell of job for Anytime
Does the OSL win count reset to 0 for the golden mouse? Or anyone with 2 won can get it by winning 1 more time?

wait.. didnt you post the same meessage in another thread already.?
Just saw the games, and I must say the games were really exciting, and tense. However the quality lacked in game 2, 3 and partly game 4 allthough that one was probably the most tense apart from the last one. The timing of Anytimes leg speed was perfect allthough Nada could have scanned and pushed a little more aggressive. Also notice how fast academy Nada got all the games fearing Anytimes DTs.
Game 1 was really really good and I had no idea who was going to win. Those who say Nada played straight up here are kinda wrong because he did go 2 fac. Anytime played straight up though. Since Nada couldnt do any damage early on the game should have gone easily in Anytimes favour allthough Nada almost equaled that adventage. Anytime did some rAish "do some-distraction-while-dropping-mineral-line@expo" stuff that won him the game. Also Nada played a bit too defensive imo.
Game 2 was a failed cheese basically, allthough Anytimes DT harrass was amazing as usual. Since his reavers didnt do jack shit he died.
Game 3 Anytime played really really bad in addition to being unlucky with mines, though Nadas timing was and defence was flawless. Killing the nexus early on decided the game pretty fast.
Game 4 was intense as fuck, but pretty standard game that wasnt really good. There was no doubt Anytime would win after breaking Nadas push, and I have to say I got slightly disappointed with Nadas play here. Imo slowing down abit more and forcing a lategame macrofest in those positions would have helped him. Making two armories when you do fast push is doing two strategies at once and cant work against a player like Anytime.
Game 5 was just beatifully played by Nada and his multitasking was very very good. However his harass did minor damage, and Anytime could well have ended this if he didnt decide going Carriers from two bases(Rock-style) - a strat that sucks major balls. As game 4 very intense, but badly played by Anytime(good defence vs the harass isnt enough).
All in all good entertainment, but only decent quality of the games. Nada proved the Legend of the Fall was all about Boxer, and finally proved Terran could win Protoss in a final - first TvP final not involving Boxer. Anytime proved he was no pushover, but also confirmed his cheese can be defeated and his overall strategy has some flaws.
Finally Nada is now by far the most accomplished BW gamer with 6 starleague titles, and a KT-KTF title(also a Ghem TV title too to be precise)

Yes...T_T... But spoilers hide it...so i though my message would be nice here...T_T... Im still sad for AnyTime[gm] T_T...
Did you see the last part of the video of the 5th game? When Nada was running to grab his golden mouse, i think his mother grabed him, but Nada´s reaction was something like this: Ok mom, hold me, now get the fuck away because i want my golden mouse!!!

in terms of emotions maybe but the 4th game of that series was just insane shit
Did anyone else find it retarded that there was nobody present to award Nada the prize? Because even though I respect Nada as a gamer, he looked pretty silly running up to the platform and grabbing that mouse. Especially after he made those weird monkey poses, as if he was too modest to fully raise his arms in victory.
An even better prize would be some sort of huge golden belt (similar to those WWE belts) so that Nada could wear it to his next match. If they force the players to wear ugly spacesuit uniforms, they should at least go all out with a huge belt. Instead, they give him a crappy trophy mouse which he cannot even show off because it doesn't even work.
i just watched the VOD's, i would have given my left leg to be at those finals. i am so glad it was Nada who got the golden mouse, he certainly deserved it.
I recommand you watching the awards ceremony. It's almost better than the games. You see all the starleague winners and this is so fucking nostalgic ( u even can see Grrrr.. ) And some other stuff.. pretty cool = )

there was an award ceremony afterwards though =. =
Heh the "monkey poses" were him making a heart with his hands or S2 which is a nickname he uses in addition to Nada. As you might have seen several in the crowd, most likely his fans, made this sign too.
