I don't know what DeMusliM's problem is with these teamleagues.
Thought game 3 was a lot closer than the casters made it to be. I don't think it was close at all. Sure, Demuslim stayed alive the whole time, but that was only because Catz wanted 100% guarantee win. He reasonably could have ended the game with some actual aggression and won.
Catz killed 23 scv's with the ling runby, DeMu's drop killed 19 drones. DeMu was certainly well behind yes but I didn't think it was as dire as the casters made it out to be

gg's. its going to be hard for EG when teams send out players like DRG at you. nice tries though

Nothing more satisfying than seeing my favorite player come out with a win while being the underdog! CatZ <3

I think DeMuslim underestimated Catz in the same way he said he underestimated Destiny at Lone Star. He really likes to pull off tricky plays, and against good players (and don't kid yourself, Destiny and Catz are both pretty damn good) he opens himself up to getting punished HARD. In general, DeMuslim is the better player, but he played too risky.
I was disappointed not to see him go mech; I think that he could have taken Crossfire that way. Daybreak was just an unfortunate opening for that runby that spiraled out of control.

The match rather looked like Catz was trying to find the most cumbersome way to win conceivable.
In the midgame, he could have gone pure ling/bling from his bank and rolled Demuslim instead of staying so extremely infestor centric and losing so much to drops... his style is nice and all, but in the midgame even pure ling/bling with solid macro might have been a more reliable option.
Funny series nevertheless.

Wow didn't expect Catz to beat DeMuslim, haha.
Didn't get to see it but I hear it was ugly.

Ace Match could be anyone vs DRG ~_~ You really think Catz can take out Demu? He always seemed like more of an entertainer than a really great player to me. Though really, what do I know?
Clearly not much.

Hah - These people that go to page 1-3 for the predictions and then find someone they can belittle. It's old, please just stop it.
DeMuslim being taken out by CatZ _is_ a big upset, even the biggest CatZ-fans must realize this..
Edit - Sorry, didnt see it was actually yourself you were quoting T.T

Or you know, sometimes "these people" are actually self-quoting and self-belittling.

Big Demuslim fan but I like Catz a lot too. Glad to see him making some noise!

Demu losing to Catz is not THAT massive of an upset. I don't think people realize just by how much you need to be better than your opponent to be guaranteed a win or even have an 80% chance of winning in SC2. Almost every progamer has a solid, healthy chance of beating any other if he's been practicing regularly.
Demu was maybe a 60-40 favorite in this game at best, so obviously predicting him to win did make more sense, but predicting Catz to win wasn't batshit insane either.

Well, I've been watching quite alot of his streams and he does have some pretty sick play in my oppinion, so I disagree with you on this one - NesTea was quite impressed by him as well at last MLG (DeMuslim won 2-1 on balanced maps), according to an interview that I now cannot find - It actually might have been on State of the Game when they had him on there? Not sure
His TvZ is usually really strong and is his best matchup, so I do think 60-40 is abit too low
