You can read the prequel to this grudge match here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=399575

[image loading]


THATS RIGHT FOLKS POTATOES JUST GOT REAL, TELECOM CALLED ME UP ON PWNING HIS NOOBIE BEHIND AND ASKED FOR A GRUDGEMATCH SO I BEGRUDGINGLY OBLIGED, THE POTATO WON THE POLL SO THERE WILL BE A POTATO BUT THE SECONDARY CASTER WILL BE NINAZERG, GO TO http://www.twitch.tv/ninazerg TO SEE THE EPIC ACTION AND POTATO. ITS A ZVP AND FIRST MAP IS FIGHTING SPIRIT, LOSER PICKS NEXT MAP, BEST OF 3 AND TELECOM IS GOING TO GET SMASHED YO, I AM PRO D+ RANK ON ICCUP AND MY MAFIA BROTHERS FROM DEFILER WILL COME

ok all caps getting annoying, dat shift key...

Yoda and the lads from defiler will assassinate GGzerg's ipad or whatever it is his home setup is, so he will have to play on his friend's PC again and will have no chance! He's having a smoke so it'll be in about half an hour but NinaZerg will presumably have some wonderful things to say in preparation for this epic event of the day.

EDIT
Grudgematch cast here! http://www.twitch.tv/ninazerg/b/369682647

You and I, we have met before,
through a magic of a moment in Cyberspace.
Driven by a passion to win,
playin' heart to heart, face to face.
The challenge of a life time,
stands before us now.

Beyond the game

I wanna thank all my fans, I'm sorry to disappoint but I did my best to show long interesting games, unlike the charming fellow Telecom here. I also want to thank my coach, NinaZerg, and my other coach, TechnicS, and also the others in op Teamliquid who gave me advice on how to beat 2gate which has taught me how to not lose like that again. I will make sure to show good games in the future and will train more until I am better! Thanks for watching everyone, hopefully NinaZerg will put the VOD onto youtube.

Doesn't matter what you're going to use, it will bore me. You're Zerg. Zerg has only one unit - imbalisks.

Aside from that, I really hoped for more flames and silly talk, a bit more of a build up for this, something other than your reputation at stake (even though Telecom had more to lose as supposedly pro... lol) and a less tired ninazurg at the microphone.

This was all very last minute, telecom wanted to play right now and knowing his habit of dodging I agreed, as I thought he would dodge me if it was a later date. I did offer a game tomorrow when it could be more hyped but he said he wanted it now so meh.

Honestly, at this point if you don't expect a 2gate from this guy and don't open appropriately with that assumption, you kinda deserve to lose.

Wow that got started quick.

I think the BW community is finally starting to accept itself for what it is. A bunch of neurotic nerds griping for the temporary spotlight, the one who will consistently win it is the one who is consistently the most provocative. It's a feeding frenzy lol. Ofc some would prefer to just watch and post rather than to get involved. This is probably a good thing considering how much activity we would have if everyone had this sort of mentality.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

I like rivalries.
Hype aint what it used to be.
This needed more salt.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Good players for starters. Oh dohohohohohoho.

You don't need a grudge match every time someone asks for re. It was pretty obvious who'd win, considering that he's a full rank above you.

the best way i can describe it is like this... some random shitty diamond loses to a gold leaguer because he took a phonecall without pausing or something, and then rages and calls the other player bad and "noname", and challenges him to a grudgematch. it's pretty easy to challenge someone to a grudgematch when the outcome is 99% predetermined.
