@maruchan: here you go. What happend to GaB in Game 2 and 3 (as far as i can remember)
Game 2 + Show Spoiler +Scorched Haven. Minigun couldn't get a 2nd base due to a 10pool by Wizards Zergplayer. Minigun didn't Wall-off his ramp and thus got far behind economywise. So Destiny fed him gas to go for 1base colossus. That of course made it impossible for himself to get Infestors. They held a first ling,roach,marine,marauder-push with 2 colossi, but then Wizards Terran pumped out Vikings and neither Minigun nor Destiny had they economy or the tech to build sufficent anti air, so they lost to the next push (same composition + around 10 vikings)
Game 3 + Show Spoiler +Boneyard. Minigun scouted an early agression build by Wizards and began to wall of the ramp. Destiny made a weird hatch-first, pool into roach build, leading to the point that Wizards had Marauders+Banelings+Speedlings at their ramp and they had about nothing to hold it. They desperately tried to get some units out, but Miniguns Gateways got unpowered and Destiny mismicored his lings into some banelings. Game was over.
Btw.: What happend in the lower bracket? Walkovers for SupSon and Bedflippers?

This is a really sick aggressive game going on right now between some pretty big name 1v1 players.
Ret and Sheth are doing really well.
|
Results were updated, great job Psy and Adebisi Casting! See you guys tomorrow at 3pm PST / 6pm EST for the final day of the PTSL.

You can just watch the recordings on their twitch.tv account.

finals today! its gonna be sick :-]

the amount of no shows is definately annoying. usually the 50 dollar one shows replays to avoid stream cheating. this one uses that voice chat thing to ensure no cheating. I like the teevox thing.
however, can we get players who care about 2v2? its clear that some of these guys do not care about this tournament and no show or do stupid things like dancing marines.
With that in mind you have to credit some of the pros that do care. ret/sheth. destiny minigun. their games have definately have sparked more intrigue.

It's still a very young league but I am sure the admins have already come up with plans to ensure next season has a lot more serious teams. Keep in mind a lot of the best players (Who will give us the best games) have never really played anything other than 1v1 before, so with that said sometimes you have to go out on a limb so you can get the big names (who will bring lots of viewers with them).
The more viewers they get the bigger the prize pool can be for future tournaments. The bigger the prize pools the better/more serious players you can attract. I mean, imagine if they got 50K+ viewers, we could possibly see names like Nestea or Boxer if the prize pool was high enough. One easy thing we can do to help out is to make sure we follow them on their twitch.tv stream as well as follow them on twitter (if you have one).

i hope next time i get invited because i don't understand how can you accept an invitation and then not show up for the tournament. Anyway i think 2v2 can be pretty entertaining but if there won't be team matches in bigger clan wars then the level of 2v2 will be not as high as it could be since most of the teams now are just good 1v1 connected players.

I'm pretty sure as the PTSL grows in viewers so will the demand for high level 2v2 play. This is something we could possibly see at MLG in a year or so.
I'm not positive but I think the most viewers at one time for season 1 was around 3k...so far we have touched on 10k and we aren't even in the finals yet.

Thedz actually made a custom map which had all the graphic effects added in game. He was nice enough to let us use his video for our intro

Here is the updated brackets.
The games will be played from top to bottom (Unless something changes) so look forward to FXO vs Powertech first ^^
|
Really liked this event and found it very entertaining. I just have to admit I find myself much less interested now that Guns and Broaches are out
|
Stream will be about 10-15min late, sorry for the inconvenience.
|
i hope PTSL takes the no shows very seriously for future seasons despite how "big" name they are. It must be annoying for players who are beaten by pro 1v1'rs to have those pros not show up
