This group should still be pretty good but I am definitely exhausted from the hype of Group C. I'm thinking MajOr will come out in first but the fight for 2nd should be pretty close
edit. really the fight for any spot should be pretty close but I feel like Major should have an edge
|
Gogo Hendralisk and Nathanias!

Dear me, looks like I can't escape facing terrans in tournys Q_Q

Major and Nathan, I believe. You have to keep the foreign terran flame alive. Not to mention protect a certain Canadian from Hitman.
|
This has been a great tournament. Non-stop entertainment!
|
Cmon Hendralisk! You can do it!

Hoping for amazing games like yesterday, was so fun

I agree. The fight between pros that are close in skill can make for a pretty exciting tournament, and I'm looking forward to the casting as always ^^

It's starting now
|
:O interesting about Major switching race.
|
major wants to wreck nathanias as a zerg oh shit
|
lol major zerg race switch
|
Major off-racing as Zerg vs. Nathanias... I hope Nathanias wins :D
|
|
Is there an app for mobile for this?
|
Should be zerg all tournament for sure.

You can pick your race at the beginning of a Bo3 but then you can't change partway through. Major has to stay as Zerg vs. Nathanias now until the Bo3 is over.
|
Is the race switch just because Major thinks he would roll Nathanias? Or does he not like TvT?
|

why would Major begin with gas before pool?! to have zerg speed right when they're done, or what?

Oh shit it is Nathanias. I thought he had just lent his account to someone.

Hm, how do I TLPDize with a race change too...?

Assuming there is a large gap of skill between nathanias and Major's 2 races, you're going to get a higher consistent rate of winning with ZvT than TvT. There are almost no build order wins if you want to play safe as Zerg.
|
Commercials before the gg again... so I guess Nathanias left game two?
|
same here, again a commercial
|
|
Mutas start to kill a planetary fortress and then: commercials >.<
|
The platform plays excellently for me (here in Europe), on a very high quality as well, but an ad just popped up halfway through the match. There are things to improve yet before it becomes a complete alternative to Twitch.

pretty straightforward after the pf died. not enough stuff that shoots up. nathanias sends one thor at a time. gets rekt by the muta clump.
|
Probably just the commercial button pressing guy not thinking that there's a delay to account for. I will be surprised if it happens again.

It's frustrating consistently missing the end of the game and climactic moments due to commercials. I've never used adblock, but boy am I very close.
|
I take it all back, much love for reshowing the end of the game.
|
hope it won't be drama all over again with Hitman as well "but i was on b.net" - "you should've been on skype"
|
|
shots fired at nony lol not professional at all but funny (imo)
|
Nony is kidnapping the competition T.T
|
I don't have adblock but I don't get ads. Weird?
|
Note*** there was a thread on reddit about Major being mad that instead of good players in NA being invited that low level players like nathanias (he called him out on twitter and stuff) got invited instead which he was mad about and showed everyone that his worst race zerg is still better then Nathanias. Just a fyi on why it went down like it did.

hendralisk's army movement is the worst i have seen in months, always in the middle of nowhere as major is dropping him in his main and takes out tech buildings

I don't know how Hendralisk could be so ahead - but atleast now I know to play it super safe with bunkers and all, I do sometime die that swell of units too.

Does anyone know the playlist for this tournament? Every time it goes to commercial, I'm doin the pidgeon neck thrust dance. It's great!

But yeah, why isn't Major in a team??? His mechanics look so crisp. Those splits were spectacular, and that marine drop into banelings was just amazing.

Major has a bit of a history with teams.

Really, all my struggles vs terran so far have come from a lack of making mutas or taking too much damage in the early game. Got lucky in this series for sure but now have a better outlook in the matchup :D

that widow mine with its LAST BREATH took out the enemy

OMG, Nathanias is such a master with widow mines. Some how tricked Hitman into leaving it alone.

Incontrol made plans that overlap with the round of eight; apparently he didn't think he'd advance.
So he can't make it, and they are looking to do some sort of tie breaker between third place finishers to fill his spot.

[02:55:39] so incontrol made plans with anna for tonight [02:55:41] clashing with the ro8 [02:55:45] because he didn't expect to advance
|
incontrol can't make the next round due to a trip, so they are going to have a playoff of 3rd place finishers to take his spot. Goswser can't play, so it may be just Hitman vs (whoever was the other 3rd place finisher) if they can't find Nony.

replace with terran so Scarlett can spread creep over easy money plx

Shouldn't they pick gosuuser, since he was 3rd in that group? Alternatively they could do a 3rd place tiebreaker ala GSL up and downs, but I highly doubt they have time for that in their schedule.

They couldn't reach out to anyone other than Hitman so they are pushing the 8th spot playoff to tomorrow. Hopefully we will have an idea of what is planned, but it seems they will be squeezing it in before the actual scheduled tournament for tomorrow.

That's extremely childish... Siphonn said on twitter how he didn't like how MLG would put a masters level caster in the vote and thought Jig deserved it more, and Nathanias shot back mocking Siphonn's accomplishments.
Siphonn's tweet: Nathanias' response:
Real professional.

Incontrol, this really sucks and was upsetting, I was rooting for him to take some games from people and then does this? Just sad I couldn't watch him play, seemed to be working his way up then gives up.

Posting here since not everyone reads reddit. I tried to make it clear I only had 1 day this week to play but Mlg took that as 1 day for the round of 16.. I needed to be more clear. Once I found out I couldn't play should I advance I emailed them and said it can't play what should we do? They said they'd work on it but that ended up needing to forfeit me. It's a case of poor communication on both sides if not mostly mine. If it was anything less than my wife's bday/vday that I already booked I would bite the bullet and cancel the plans to fulfill my round of 8 obligations but this weekend is special and expensive! Sorry to those who wanted to see me play and sorry to Mlg for causing this drama
