He's Protoss.
Very nice R16 line up, lots of strong players.

Classic is the guy who always got sent out first for Prime in the team leagues and then proceeded to get stomped. :D
|
We're live, currently with MvPMonster vs QuanticSaSe!

Is the rest of the bracket going to be filled in? Did Clide or Aphrodite win their 1st game or were they bounced in the r064?
|
Ah Sase : ( muta base trade so frustrating, such a close game !
|
Isn't this being cast from replays? Why are these guys talking this much filler between the games?

Did he say "a 2 base all-in then expand behind it?"
|
2 base all-in with expanding after,thats the kind of all-in i like! im getting a bit annoyed with the way casters throw all-in/cheese/timing attack around

I am disappointed by Losira. Dream makes so many mistakes.

What happened? I looked away for the last minutes, Losira had creep everywhere, over 100 drones, all bases intact and some drops got cleaned up. How did Dream win from that position???
Nevermind, misheard. Losira won that as he should have.
|
Great series from LosirA and Dream

Jinro needs a raven he has sat his army under observers all game >.<
|
Well that turned around fast -.-
|
Late-game Protoss is so strong now, it's incredible. Still, great play by Jinro.
|
Daybreak is ROUGH for T against P imo. Pretty difficult to deny Toss 3 base, and once that happens the deathball gets crazy strong.

In this case I am actually right with the whole needing a raven though
|
I -knew- that raven would be hit by feedback ~_~
|
Damn, another setback for Jinro.

And this is why you need sentry towers with your ravens so you use the energy before they get anywhere near your raven

There are some rare exceptions where a raven can be bad. They are rare but they exist ( mainly if your enemy goes 100 high templars or you are going to spend the last minerals you have rather than getting scvs )

cannonrush almost kills huk - "that's exactly how you want to defend against a cannonrush" :/

And this is why we don't call GG early

Top 3 control right there
|
That +1 attack was critical for Huk in that engagement. Big lead to Huk
|
Looks like we are going to an Ace Match! Go Huk!

Blink harass and he spent his resources on upgrades, a real shame. These Koreans are just too strong, and the foreigners' prospects are looking grim.

So glad Vines won
|
Great HuK loses and the commentators are now doing Chuck Norris jokes.
|
Come on haypro win one for the foreigners
|
Time for the last foreign hope! HayprO fighting! :D
Edit: Oh, they just fucked up. I thought Sparta 2-0'd Inori. ~~ Hey ho, I guess.

I'd like to voice my opinion that having a set map rotation for every round results in getting the same map over and over. I'm really bored of watching Daybreak almost continuously for 5 hours. Broadcasting different rounds or changing the format would be much more fun for spectators imo. And Dual Sight is pretty old and is considered somewhat imbalanced. It should definitely be replaced with Cloud Kingdom!!

It's a real Protoss map.
Edit: Dunno how the fuck Annyeong could mess up that attack...o.O he had like 10 banes vs hayder's 2.
|
This commentator is off, Haypro won that first battle. He's shocked Haypro won when he was up 80 supply?
No big deal, but its annoying how commentators always want to say who's winning every 3 seconds.
|
I hate to be a dick /again/ but these commentators and the observer are kinda meh. Missed tons of things (HayprO's runby at the 3rd, Annyeong's first run into HayprO's main etc) And kept judging the game on the drone count, forgot seeing that Annyeong forgot Hydra range, his vastly inferior macro (leading to him being behind after relatively even engagements) and it felt like 90% of the game was them saying thay HayprO was behind when the only stage where he was behind was after Annyeong made 60 drones but before he decided to blow it all on hydra only.
|
Haypros ZvZ is sick, no wonder he beat Nestea!
|
Ya, he's showing he's great at many aspects of ZvZ in this series. Great control and decision making.
This game is a battle.
EDIT* Game 2... wow... gratz Haypro. Impressive!
|
Annyeong's poor macro lost him that. Still wp by HayprO both games tho, the double hidden banelings gave chills.

Baaaaaaaaaanjooooooooooooooooooooooo~~~
Can't stop dat Haypro

Play him off, banjo.
|
Wp haypro, banjo fighting!

|
HayprO the foreign hope! I'm kinda late, but I'm also quite impressed.

Haypro for Code A seed next season?

We use the set map rotation and the maps that we use because it follows the same format for the current system of the Code A Qualifiers which operates on the same system.

Wow Jinro and Haypro so good!
|
Getting that vision on the high ground was very clutch. Good play.
