Finally, the Finals are here! This is between two zergs, Jaeyun and Jackass, who are both pretty high level, so, look forward to the matches =]. Match times to come later - hope to stream it, or at least the replays.
Jackass takes it 4 - 0 > Jaeyun
And I'm too lazy to say anything else =]. Guess I'll upload the reps soon or something...
+ Show Spoiler +Hi everyone, DarthThienAn here =D. Welcome to the Collegiate Starleague's first Individual Tournament, hosted by yours truly. The bracket was randomly generated by an online site. This is a Round of 32 tournament. Players were chosen based on their wins during the season. Some last minute qualifiers took place to eliminate some extras, but now we have 32, and can begin the tournament! =]

I feel good about this week, shitty overall cuz I have the hardest bracket ever. Jackass, Dino, Freaky in succession... I will get destroyed. 2. I practiced quite a bit this season, got C+ 3 times last iccup season, probably played about 400+ games. I feel like I could get B- right now. 3. Best matchup is PvT and favorite is PvZ. I hate PvP with a passion. 4. I expect David Kim vs Dino in the finals, with my buddy David winning it all  5. I made Xeris when I was 11... It sounded badass at the time. My first I'd with it was @XERIS@, it was a clan called gods or somethinh on east way back before there were replays. I always got confused with $playaz$-xeris.
1. How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?
- My first round match was pretty one sided and nothing too exceptional happened.
2. What do you think of your opponent this week?
- He's going to DESTROY me T_T!
3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?
- I literally play no other games. In fact I'm probably the most anti-gamer of anyone who's deeply involved with the community. Aside from this I do nothing gaming related. My friends always try to get me to play other games and I refuse profusely.
4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)
- Too long of a history to tell, I started with the release of the game. I was getting good in 2005 but had to stop playing for 9 months due to academic decathlon in my senior year of HS and when I came back my friends had all improved quite a bit and I was sort of left behind and I didn't feel like continuing to put a lot of effort into being a top player. I almost qualified for WCG USA in 2005 (got 2nd at regional)
5. Any advice for your [insert your race here] fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?
- Zerg destroys Protoss. Just quit the game if you're playing a zerg =[
6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)
- Not really!
(HMC) 6-1 ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Ticon_small.png) hmc_qxc + Show Spoiler [Interview] +
1. How do you feel about your chances this week? How about overall? Are you confident, do you think you'll make it to the finals, who are tough players that you might meet, etc.?
I'm hoping to make it to the finals. I've been putting a lot of practice time in. I'm not really familiar with most of the players except for dino who I've played with a number of times in the past.
2. Strongest/Favorite matchup? Why, etc.?
TvT as my win % is much higher than the other two. No Dts. No Reavers. No arbiters. No Carriers. What's not to like?
3. Highest ICCup Rank? (from? jk)
B-ish
4. How was Season 2 for you? Make new friends? Improve your skill? Practice lots? Roflstomp lots of CSL newbs?
Season 2 was okay. I havn't really made any new friends via CSL but I've definitely been improving a lot. At the start of the first CSL season last year I was around C-.
5. Reason for your ID?
First of all. No. It doesn't mean anything. For anyone familiar with the quake scene a few years back there was a player whose alias was czm. It was simple and short and the idea appealed to me so I picked 3 letters and went with it.
6. Favorite programer?
Boxer. Definitely boxer.
7. Favorite unit?
Siege tank. It's just. so. good.
1. How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?
Fairly one-sided. The first game involved me opening with M&M after a gas steal and then using lockdown + M&M to counter carriers. It was a fun game. The second was a fairly standard drawn out TvP that went into arbiters.
2. What do you think of your opponent this week?
I don't know much about him. He's zerg and as far as I can tell zerg is nearly extinct on iccup. They have mutalisks or something right?
3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?
Heroes of Newerth? Left for dead?
4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)
I've been playing SC on and off for probably upwards of 8 or 10 years but never progressed beyond D/D+ skill level. Last February I was introduced to ICCUP and started practicing heavily. My first season playing under the handle 'qxc' saw a record of around 225-425 at a solid 3880 points. Each season there after I've continued playing a lot and practicing up. Last season I was able to get up to 6700 and I'm currently growing a beard until I reach B (around a month in the making now).
5. Any advice for your Terran fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?
Don't worry. TvP is hard. Protoss is easy. Why do you think 80% of iccup plays protoss? Just go play other Terrans to make yourself feel better. Or 8 rax some naive zerg.
6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)
TSL is really cool. I'm hoping that by the time the next one rolls around I'll have gotten good enough to actually place in the tournament somewhere. /cross fingers.
1. Alright, there's been a long break since the last interview. What have you been up to? School? Practicing? Studying your opponent?
School just started on Tuesday so I've been getting ready for that by moving in buying books and the like. I've tried looking up azriel a bit but I havn't found much. I'm just hoping that the practice I've put in thus far is enough.
2. 8 people left - who's gonna win it all? You?
I've been playing a lot recently on the ladder getting in shape. I'm not familiar with any of my opponents so I dunno. Here's to hoping.
3. Watch the OSL finals? What'd you think?
I missed them. I tend to avoid watching VOD's // live events as my main draw for watching games is seeing the timings of the players and some of the more detailed aspects that are inaccessible when you're not watching the replay yourself.
4. What do you think of the map pool? Favorite map? Least favorite map? Do you like Outsider?
I'm not a fan of outsider. Favorite map is probably desti or hbr. Least favorite is any map I havn't played extensively like RoV.
5. What do you think of your chances this week, and your opponent?
As I mentioned above I don't know much about azriel. I looked him up and he had an account with C- on it last season. Considering he's ro8 I assume he's better than that but I don't know. Just going to go in and do my thing and if worse comes to worst I'll just turtle and mass battlecruisers.
6. What do you think the prize is / should be? ^^
That's a tough one. Some sort of recognition would be nice. $$ is always welcome although I don't know how available that is. It'd be cool if the winner of this tournament got to play against a high-tier foreigner as a for fun kind of deal.
(Princeton) 6-1 [pu]Magneus Spencer Liang (Harvard) 6-2 [H]spencer Kevin Kang (UWO) 6-2 15step[UwO] Chen Gui (UCI) 5-0 Fira[UCI] [spoiler=Interview 2] 1. How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?Pretty standard games. I played pretty well considering they were the only games I had played for over a month (vacation hihi). I pretty much played it safe both games and won without too much struggle. 2. What do you think of your opponent this week?I'm not sure what to think. I've never seen him play nor watched any of his replays. He's a terran and I hate this matchup with a passion. He also did pretty well in CSL, so I think I have some practice ahead of me. 3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?Currently, Heroes of Newerth. Overall, and I hate to admit it, but probably World of Warcraft. That game is so addictive it just has to be my favorite, although I am glad I quit. It was quite an investment. 4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)Well, I've been banned from TL a couple times in the past, for reasons I don't even remember. I started playing SC probably 8 years ago with a few IRL friends. We pretty much just played UMS and money maps for fun. I didn't really start playing seriously until maybe 2003-2004, after joining BeThe. Later on I was recruited into sMi and that's when I started gaming much more. I was able to obtain A on PGTour, but after that I started college and the game didn't interest me as much anymore. I've been playing on and off since 2008, but SC is mostly just a mild hobby nowadays. 5. Any advice for your [insert your race here] fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?Lol I dunno what fans I have; I was never really that known. Zulunation_9 is probably my biggest fan aside from IRL friends. We used to play lots of games in sMi, he was a very good practice partner and attributed to much of my success back in sMi. I like Protoss because it relies on extremely fast APM and reflexes less than T and Z, and moreso on finesse and situational awareness. May not be true, but it's just what I've noticed. 6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)I wasn't keeping track of TSL until earlier today when my friend AstroMech IM'ed me about Nony vs Idra. He suggested that I watch the andromeda game so I did. Those blanket storms were quite amazing.

A++++++++++++++++++ 4. It was fine but im sure that our team will do much better in next season. 5. Nothing. 6. Bisu[Shield] 7. Dark Templar[/spoiler] Jeff Yang (Cornell) 5-2 [CU]LaTeR Hyung K. Oh (Rutgers) 5-2 [RUTGERS]Clazz David Kim (UCSD) 5-2 Xeris_Jaeyun [spoiler=Interview] 1. How do you feel about your chances this week? How about overall? Are you confident, do you think you'll make it to the finals, who are tough players that you might meet, etc.?I don't know who my opponent is but it is a ZvT and as long as it's not Assem I don't see myself losing. From my side of the brackets.. I'm excited to face off against Cameroncrazie, FirA, and especially Baechigi. I was disappointed that we couldn't face Uvic, including Baechigi, in the western finals so I hope this tournament will give me that opportunity. From the top brackets, it's probably going to be a fight between Jackass and Dino. If I get to the finals, I'll waiting and rooting for Dino. It'd be awesome if we could have our rematch on a much larger stage. Note that this is all speculation if I do get lucky enough to advance . Not saying I'm going to get there for sure 2. Strongest/Favorite matchup? Why, etc.?Strongest matchup was formerly ZvT but due to half of the starcraft community switching to protoss, it's now ZvP. I just love giant lurker contains and punishing them with nonstop lings and hydras if they dare ever to break out. 3. Highest ICCup Rank? (from? jk)B, 7600 points. 4. How was Season 2 for you? Make new friends? Improve your skill? Practice lots? Roflstomp lots of CSL newbs?Season 2 was great; I wouldn't be practicing if it weren't for this.. and it's just so fun having something to play FOR instead of just wasting my time practicing for nothing in a game that's about to die in the coming years. 5. Reason for your ID?Jaeyun is my korean name. I went by this alias before I even knew who Jaedong was.. so for you who think I copied his name.. I didn't 6. Favorite programer?Uhh.. I don't really have one except maybe Jaedong.. but that's just because he's so good and exciting. 7. Favorite unit?Probably lurkers.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Interview 2] 1. How was your Ro16 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?My Ro16 match vs CameronCrazie was very close, though I ended up luckily winning 2-0. I was so used to practicing ZvP, and due to my lack of preparation.. my ZvT was terrible but I can tell he wasn't playing at his best either. Though both of the games were really close, they were just bad games for the both of us. My muta micro was really bad and it didn't help that he knew how to defend against them well.. so in order to stay in the game I pretty much flipped a coin and countered him both games. It could've gone either way, luck was just on my side today. 2. What do you think of your opponent this week?He was a lot better than I thought he'd be. He made some fatal micro errors here and there and so did I. I just hope we can face each other sometime in the future when we're both playing at our bests because I know he's definitely a competent terran. 3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?None, really. 4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)As you can see I only have like 6 posts so I've only started to surf around TL for about a year (not really posting). I've played pretty much when SC came out but I always fooled around on it.. and I still do. I just don't play competitively enough. As for tournaments, the only actual tournament I attended and won was UCSD's 2009 Winter Game Fest (2010's coming up in a few days). 5. Any advice for your [insert your race here] fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?Yeah, don't switch to P and learn drone timings . I love protoss, people all think I'm wholly a Zerg player but I can play T and P at a solid B- level (except maybe mirror matches). Protoss is the my favorite race as it's the most versatile and creative race.. just these days lower level p's only know how to mass instead of abusing its flexibility. 6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)Nope[/spoiler] [spoiler=Interview 3] 1. Alright, there's been a long break since the last interview. What have you been up to? School? Practicing? Studying your opponent?Mostly school, just living life. I've actually been playing a lot of starcraft due to UCSD's WGF Tournament. 2. 8 people left - who's gonna win it all? You? I have a pretty good shot at it.. I don't really know how great my next opponents will be but if all goes well I'll probably face Jackass in the finals and we'll have to see what happens from there. 3. Watch the OSL finals? What'd you think?Yep, Movie played great but FlaSh is just too solid. 4. What do you think of the map pool? Favorite map? Least favorite map? Do you like Outsider?They're all okay, Heartbreak Ridge is my favorite probably. I used to hate Outsider but after giving it a chance I've grown to like it. 5. What do you think of your chances this week, and your opponent?I should be fine, my ZvT is still a bit rusty but it's all coming back now. I haven't seen my opponent play but people tell me I shouldn't have a problem. 6. What do you think the prize is / should be? ^^No idea.. didn't know there was one [/spoiler] [spoiler=Interview 4] 1. As usual: How was your Round of 8 opponent? Any difficulties there? Easier than previous round opponents? Well, my opponent hasn't really been playing at all these days and attempted to cheese the first two games so the series went by pretty quickly. I'm sure he's much better when he's playing normal and in shape. 2. How does this round look? Out of the last 4, who's the toughest opponent? Probably jackass, if I win the semifinals i'm definitely expecting him to come out of the top side of the brackets. I've beaten qxc once in an ace match back in the regular season but I have no idea how much better he's gotten so we'll see. 3. This was last week but thoughts on the MSL finals? Lame, the third game was exciting to watch.. too. 4. Preference for Finals map? Nope not really. [/spoiler] Jeffrey Huang (Yale) 5-4 Dullahan[yale] [spoiler=Interview] 1. How do you feel about your chances this week? How about overall? Are you confident, do you think you'll make it to the finals, who are tough players that you might meet, etc.?Looking at our CSL records, Xeris is definitely the favorite, though considering that PvP can be such a toss-up at times (sorry, bad pun), it could have been worse. I highly doubt that I'll get to finals - there's quite a few strong players, especially in this half of the bracket, though the lack of terrans probably improves my chances marginally. 2. Strongest/Favorite matchup? Why, etc.?PvZ's been my best matchup ever since I realized I could plop down 10 gateways and run around the map with a ball of doom j/k, but seriously, I think a lot of it may have to do with how Bisu was so dominant early on when I first got into competitive SC and I watched a lot of vids of his games. The other explanation that comes to mind is that I originally chose Protoss because of psi storm (<3), and the rest should be obvious from there. PvP's interesting because of all the potential cheesiness and all the mindgames that go along with it. And Bisu v Pokju totally inspired my early PvP play ^^ 3. Highest ICCup Rank? (from? jk)D+ (though every time I say I intend to mass game, I always seem to find some excuse, so I haven't really laddered anywhere near as much as I would have liked) 4. How was Season 2 for you? Make new friends? Improve your skill? Practice lots? Roflstomp lots of CSL newbs?Considering that we forfeited so much last year, anything would probably have been an improvement this year I found it somewhat ironic that despite spending hours each week discussing with my team about who to play on which map, we always seemed to end up with suboptimal matchups (and more often than not, I'd be matched against their weakest player) 5. Reason for your ID?Golden Sun! I came up with my ID back when I was on AWBW and really obsessed with Golden Sun. I kept using it when I transitioned into SSBM since I couldn't think of anything else at the time, and I've kept it since. (Adding Link: Golden Sun Dullahan) 6. Favorite progamer?None really... I like watching whoever's doing well at the moment since that generally yields the highest chance of really awesome games 7. Favorite unit?Battlecruisers! I have a nostalgic attachment to them considering that they were the sole factor behind my first time finishing a 1v7 (comps). I still find it fun to put a replay on fast-forward and watch a BC fleet annihilate everything in its path.[/spoiler] Julian Xu (Duke) 4-0 CameronCraziE Thomas Roxlo (MIT) 4-0 [MiT]olXor Mike Choi (Northwestern) 4-0 [NU]m_num_num Elias Lee (UCD) 4-0 UCD_beefmoo David Kent (UCR) 4-0 UCR_Dino Brandon Ewing (ASU) 4-1 Atrioc Daniel Chen (CalTech) 4-1 Saracen Kishan Pandya (Rutgers) 4-1 [RUTGERS]nexus [spoiler=Interview 2] Me is DimSumME:How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games? NEXUS:The matches are boring. They are indeed, VERY one-sided. In fact, they are so one-sided that I actually text and eat an apple/cereal during the game. I actually remember not even using my keyboard during some games because I felt like seeing my APM with mouse only. It's a joke. I demolish everyone. People win 1 game with some stupid all-in build and think they're wild, when in fact, I'm sitting there eating my cheerios and they try to 4 gate. Nothing exciting, it's merely 1a2a3a4a and typing GG. ME:Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.) NEXUS:Without giving away too much information about my past SC history, I'll simply say this: I demolished ToT)ClouD( in TL Attack (who just recently got wrecked to G5 in TSL2 who is also a horrible player) and then TL.Net didn't give me the mousepad because I'm a "banned" user. As for how long I've been playing... 3 or 4 years? Other tournaments that I've played in - none. I play with koreans (human beings who are actually competant at this game, unlike the idiot foreigners and basically everyone involved in CSL). ME:If you could fuck one programer, who would it be?

How do you feel about your chances this week? How about overall? Are you confident, do you think you'll make it to the finals, who are tough players that you might meet, etc.?I'll do well. I've played saracen a fair few times in the past when we were on the same clan, and if I lost at all, I won a lot more. He's a decent player and has pulled off some clutch wins in past clanwars I didn't think he'd win, so I can't write him out altogether. However, especially if I can race-pick per map I'm confident I'll win. As far as future games go, I can't be sure whether or not I'll do well or not, there are some strong players for sure, and I'm not all that well-practiced on most of the maps. 2. Strongest/Favorite matchup? Why, etc.?I don't really know anymore. My zvt used to historically be my strongest, as I had a strong tvz practice partner (iCafe.Moto), and I beat Morrow in a straight-up game the season he got B+ (not in a ladder game though, and he was only B at the time). My zvp seems to be doing better lately, but that might just be map-based performance differences. My pvz is pretty strong on desti though, I bet I could beat myself, even with my zvp on desti being my strongest mu atm. My tvz is pretty strong as well on most maps. My zvz is pretty weak, but if the builds work out a certain way I can do alright. 3. Highest ICCup Rank? (from? jk)b-, and get your pylon out of my main. 4. How was Season 2 for you? Make new friends? Improve your skill? Practice lots? Roflstomp lots of CSL newbs?It was a lot more enjoyable than season 1, I can't wait for season 3. Met some great guys and it was fun lanning and watching proleague with them. I was also able to partake in a most awesome shared-birthday cake-cookie-pie with them, which was epic. I look forward to next season's cake-cookie-pie. The csl matches were pretty boring. I got a lot of zvz vs bad zergs. Short, uninteresting games. I was hoping to play iefnaij. One game that wasn't a zvz was vs an old clanmate of mine, who left the team less than amicably, and who was much better than me at the time. The game was disapointingly easy, my guess is he hadn't been playing much before csl. 5. Reason for your ID?I thought Nightmare from Soul Calibur II was cool and that was my first id. My friends often called me "joo" as a nickname, which they got from south-park, so when my team at the time changed servers I added it to my name, and the e didn't fit. Thus: Nightmarjoo. 6. Favorite programer?July. He's amazing. Stork is a close second. He's amazing too. I like how they both just play their own styles no matter what, and are able to adapt it slightly to every situation and map to win. In particular Stork's pvp has always impressed me; being very good in a mirror mu is a big deal to me. Stork's interviews are awesome to read also. 7. Favorite unit?The goliath, with the scout in second. Gols are just so cool with their machine guns that always point down and their missiles which always point up, and they walk and move their gun turrets around, and say funny things when you click them. Scouts are cool looking, their blue pulse lasers are cool, as are their blue engine trails. The blue on gold/yellow is a nice touch imo. I wish they were cheaper. Any other comments? (Go crazy)Broodwarmaps.net - for all your mapping needs![/spoiler] [spoiler=Interview 2] 1. How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?One-sided. Not much to say about it, just he kept putting himself in a position where I had mutas and he did not. Spores are not magical, so I won. 2. What do you think of your opponent this week?Should be ok, I'm fairly confident in my zvp, though I don't like hbr. 3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?Angband. I like GunZ too, but there're too many hackers for it to be fun to play anymore. 4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)I've been on tl for a few years. I've been playing for like 6 years. 5. Any advice for your zerg fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?Go muta everygame you can and use them to outplay your opponent. Don't need to 2hatch. Don't dodge zvz or play offrace, no matter how good your tvz/pvz is. Protoss is just protoss. I've no complaints, I think the game is 100% balanced. I'm confident vs and with protoss. 6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)Should be neat. Dunno how gamjta[x] got in, I raped him pretty hard in tsl ladder straight-up. Avi seems like an ass from his interview, hope he loses. [/spoiler]

1. How do you feel about your chances this week? How about overall? Are you confident, do you think you'll make it to the finals, who are tough players that you might meet, etc.?
I might hit couple roadblocks, but I think the biggest obstacle is David Kim, AKA FriedChickenZerg for UCSD. The reason being is, he knows how I play. Other players, I don't care how good you are, I will at least take a game from you, no matter what. If you are anything less than B-, I'll probably roflstomp them straight up too.
2. Strongest/Favorite matchup? Why, etc.?
Although I am a Zerg player for this CSL, I have to say either PvT, PvP, or PvZ. Considering how good my Protoss is when in practice, I have no fucking clue why I picked Zerg. WAIT I KNOW WHY BECAUSE ZERG IS BROKEN AT THE MOMENT. But one matchup? I think PvZ is my favorite.
3. Highest ICCup Rank? (from? jk)
B on ICCup, I tried to get to B+, got to 7600, then crashed down to 7100.
4. How was Season 2 for you? Make new friends? Improve your skill? Practice lots? Roflstomp lots of CSL newbs?
Dude, practice was one thing, but it was really fun. Just chatting with your teammates and roommates about CSL was just an experience that I won't forget for awhile. I remember arguing with Duran and David about lineup over AIM and shit, among other things, and celebrating our CSL+ championship will be amazing as well.
5. Reason for your ID?
I couldn't pick a race, and one of my favorite player, mick, used the ID randompubbie on b.net BEFORE replays came out in 2001. So I decided to stick with being random. And then I realized randomKorean would be lame so I added the face for randomKo_Orean. that's a damn cool name btw.
6. Favorite programer?
Boxer Rox My Sox
7. Favorite unit?
MY PENIS, which I also like to call the Ultralisk. It's so satisfying to see them just running around curb stomping everything.
Any other comments? (Go crazy)

Hell yeah CSL indiv league!
Go Lee Sanghoo and Clazz!

There's a ridiculous number of protoss players.
Good for John Lee, he eats protoss players for breakfast.

Even after you post this, I still have no idea what's going on...

I have the hardest fucking bracket imaginable T_T

Crap, I didn't think this was actually going to happen and I haven't played in ages.
I guess I'll have to start practicing tomorrow @_@

Not to be picky but Geoff was 9-1 in the regular season ^^

I'm sorry =[. What isn't clear? In terms you matches, you set up the times with your opponent yourself, usually through email. Your coordinator got a couple emails from me last night, maybe you haven't talked to him yet? The way most people do it is, coordinator A talks to coordinator B, both each talk to their players about the time. You can also talk to your opponent directly (email me about that).
In terms of the tournament style, it's single elimination with bo3's vs your opponent. Games played this weekend...
Questions work better though =]. What don't you get?

lol, yea yea. I realize this -_-. He ended getting a fairly easy bracket though imo. He's in the bottom half, which is a bit easier than the top.

Is there an actual bracket somewhere?

and by a bit, he means.. a lot. lol!

It's only half protoss. ^^ only four more than a third of the players. But, I feel like in 1 or 2 rounds, Zerg will start dominating. We have a lot of high level zergs in this tourney iirc =o.

psh =P you had plenty of time to reply. You just never did so I booted him from the list ^^. He woulda had to play qualifiers, but probably would have beat the people he played. A lot of the "gosus" aren't in this because their coordinators never replied =[.

+ Show Spoiler +1. How do you feel about your chances this week? How about overall? Are you confident, do you think you'll make it to the finals, who are tough players that you might meet, etc.? Looking at our CSL records, Xeris is definitely the favorite, though considering that PvP can be such a toss-up at times (sorry, bad pun), it could have been worse. I highly doubt that I'll get to finals - there's quite a few strong players, especially in this half of the bracket, though the lack of terrans probably improves my chances marginally. 2. Strongest/Favorite matchup? Why, etc.? PvZ's been my best matchup ever since I realized I could plop down 10 gateways and run around the map with a ball of doom j/k, but seriously, I think a lot of it may have to do with how Bisu was so dominant early on when I first got into competitive SC and I watched a lot of vids of his games. The other explanation that comes to mind is that I originally chose Protoss because of psi storm (<3), and the rest should be obvious from there. PvP's interesting because of all the potential cheesiness and all the mindgames that go along with it. And Bisu v Pokju totally inspired my early PvP play ^^ 3. Highest ICCup Rank? (from? jk) D+ (though every time I say I intend to mass game, I always seem to find some excuse, so I haven't really laddered anywhere near as much as I would have liked) 4. How was Season 2 for you? Make new friends? Improve your skill? Practice lots? Roflstomp lots of CSL newbs? Considering that we forfeited so much last year, anything would probably have been an improvement this year  I found it somewhat ironic that despite spending hours each week discussing with my team about who to play on which map, we always seemed to end up with suboptimal matchups (and more often than not, I'd be matched against their weakest player) 5. Reason for your ID? Golden Sun! I came up with my ID back when I was on AWBW and really obsessed with Golden Sun. I kept using it when I transitioned into SSBM since I couldn't think of anything else at the time, and I've kept it since. 6. Favorite progamer? None really... I like watching whoever's doing well at the moment since that generally yields the highest chance of really awesome games 7. Favorite unit? Battlecruisers! I have a nostalgic attachment to them considering that they were the sole factor behind my first time finishing a 1v7 (comps). I still find it fun to put a replay on fast-forward and watch a BC fleet annihilate everything in its path

He played during the season, which immediately followed the iccup release and the whole clazz drama. so however that I worked, I assume it will be the same. I don't know how he got around it during the season (campus IP maybe), but I haven't heard anything that would mean that he is unable to play.
Regarding whether or not he is banned from the tournament for those actions, he isn't, simply because at the start of the season, concerning his case specifically, we agreed that "Players cannot be suspended by CSL for previous infractions." (CSL Rules). As long as he can get on iccup, he can play.

Way to edit randomkr. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he knows that, he's just being whiny =D.

So what you're saying is, ICC will have to ban all of Rutgers? (like they did with Moto)
Because you saying he will play on ICC in this tournament is basically saying "ICCup can't effectively control one bad Rutgers player, look, he's playing in our tournament on ICCup."

UCSB still played after Moto got banned. Dunno how but they did it.
Clazz still played for Rutgers after he got banned. Dunno how but he did it.
It's not my job to enforce whether or not clazz gets on ICCup or not. If he can't show up for his match, then it'll be a forfeit. All I know is that clazz had the record during the season to qualify for the tournament, and confirmed his acceptance of that invitation. Thus, he is in the tournament.
I'm not unk, nor am I an ICCup admin. I don't know how he played on iccup after the whole hacker deal, maybe you can ask him about it. All I know is that he's in the tournament.
And whether or not unk bans all of Rutgers is his choice, not mine. He doesn't "have" to do anything.

That's pro-level. And against good zergs. CSL is full of noobs, and so it's full of Protoss. teehee. Protoss is the race that low level people generally pick, I think, which is why we have lots of Protoss (not saying anything about our P's skill levels, but ... )

Apparently my streaming was really bad. Hopefully the VODs aren't as choppy as the stream was.
My internet will be better when I get back to Princeton on Saturday </3
Add:
so yea. The stream was REALLY bad. First set x2 + lag for whatever reason = really choppy. The sound ratio was bad too (nobody told me -_-) It's so bad that I'm ashamed. I'll probably redo them tomorrow or something. Watch it if you really wanna see the games, but otherwise, it's a pretty bad vod haha. Video quality is decent though (not amazing but w/e).
Think something's up with my internet. I might actually wait till I return to PU to redo this - I'll do it tomorrow, but if it's still choppy, I'll wait till later.

Umm. That's pretty unusual, you'd have to ask your opponent. Racepicking by map is pretty unusual as well o.O. Most people would racepick by matchup if at all... What exactly do you have in mind? Personally, I'd prefer if you stuck to the race you were listed as, but if you're opponent's okay with it, then there won't be a problem.
It is a disadvantage for your opponent though, to practice zvz (in your case, right?), and then have it changed to zvp or zvt or something. But yea, email/pm your opponent/their coordinator.

The UCR coordinator said his players couldn't be contacted / couldn't play b/c of the holiday season. Emory was busy with his studies.

honestly with this number of forfeits it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring in some other interested top players in the csl to fill in.
like the entire uw sc lineup :D

zzz. don't you guys have your finals match to worry about? lol.
I think, in other cases I would, except it's not really fair to just pick "other top players" based on ... what, hearsay? Everyone in the tournament was selected because of their record, and some had to play a qualifier match to get into the ro32, so it wouldn't be fair to the current players to just add in random people who I think would make the tourney more interesting.
|
that's what the all-star match is for.. if people wanna be bad manner and not play a tournament they were invited to + agreed to participate in, that's their fault really T_T

Another one bites the dust... good games from what I hear. I'll cast the replays some time this weekend hopefully. (maybe i'll do a huge replay cast sometime next week when all the reps are in)

no... some people playing late matches ><. a few pairs that I haven't heard from as well.

Players, I won't be sending out an email until late tonight (Monday) at least. Still a few games I haven't heard about. If your opponent for this week has been decided already, get in contact with that player today if you want to get an early start. Games should be played this weekend, once again. I'll send out more details in the email.

I know the tournament has started but wanted to shout out to my boi UW)Assault who went 6-0 (?) in the season.

well, he would have been here had his matchups been more favorable instead of consistently facing top-tier aces and resulting in a 3-3 record
mark, I know you're only 1 person; so next off-season it'd be really cool if we could run a massive quals tournament/ladder (i.e. summer?) or something for CSL singles if people are interested

Some questions up.
T_T.

1. How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?
- My first round match was pretty one sided and nothing too exceptional happened.
2. What do you think of your opponent this week?
- He's going to DESTROY me T_T!
3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?
- I literally play no other games. In fact I'm probably the most anti-gamer of anyone who's deeply involved with the community. Aside from this I do nothing gaming related. My friends always try to get me to play other games and I refuse profusely.
4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)
- Too long of a history to tell, I started with the release of the game. I was getting good in 2005 but had to stop playing for 9 months due to academic decathlon in my senior year of HS and when I came back my friends had all improved quite a bit and I was sort of left behind and I didn't feel like continuing to put a lot of effort into being a top player. I almost qualified for WCG USA in 2005 (got 2nd at regional)
5. Any advice for your [insert your race here] fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?
- Zerg destroys Protoss. Just quit the game if you're playing a zerg =[
6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)
- Not really!

1. How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?
One-sided. Not much to say about it, just he kept putting himself in a position where I had mutas and he did not. Spores are not magical, so I won.
2. What do you think of your opponent this week?
Should be ok, I'm fairly confident in my zvp, though I don't like hbr.
3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?
Angband. I like GunZ too, but there're too many hackers for it to be fun to play anymore.
4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)
I've been on tl for a few years. I've been playing for like 6 years.
5. Any advice for your zerg fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?
Go muta everygame you can and use them to outplay your opponent. Don't need to 2hatch. Don't dodge zvz or play offrace, no matter how good your tvz/pvz is. Protoss is just protoss. I've no complaints, I think the game is 100% balanced. I'm confident vs and with protoss.
6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)
Should be neat. Dunno how gamjta[x] got in, I raped him pretty hard in tsl ladder straight-up. Avi seems like an ass from his interview, hope he loses.

Question: How did Steven Kim get into this tournament when his record says 3-2?

Ok hurry up and prepare the Ro8 interview, I'm ready to answer it.

1. How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?
Pretty standard games. I played pretty well considering they were the only games I had played for over a month (vacation hihi). I pretty much played it safe both games and won without too much struggle.
2. What do you think of your opponent this week?
I'm not sure what to think. I've never seen him play nor watched any of his replays. He's a terran and I hate this matchup with a passion. He also did pretty well in CSL, so I think I have some practice ahead of me.
3. Favorite videogame (other than Starcraft)?
Currently, Heroes of Newerth. Overall, and I hate to admit it, but probably World of Warcraft. That game is so addictive it just has to be my favorite, although I am glad I quit. It was quite a hefty investment.
4. Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)
Well, I've been banned from TL a couple times in the past, for reasons I don't even remember. I started playing SC probably 8 years ago with a few IRL friends. We pretty much just played UMS and money maps for fun. I didn't really start playing seriously until maybe 2003-2004, after joining BeThe. Later on I was recruited into sMi and that's when I started gaming much more. I was able to obtain A on PGTour, but after that I started college and the game didn't interest me as much anymore. I've been playing on and off since 2008, but SC is mostly just a mild hobby nowadays.
5. Any advice for your [insert your race here] fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?
Lol I dunno what fans I have; I was never really that known. Zulunation_9 is probably my biggest fan aside from IRL friends. We used to play lots of games in sMi, he was a very good practice partner and attributed to much of my success back in sMi. I like Protoss because it relies less on extremely fast APM and reflexes than T and Z, and moreso on finesse and situational awareness. May not be true, but it's just what I've noticed.
6. Thoughts on TSL? (random =D)
I wasn't keeping track of TSL until earlier today when my friend AstroMech IM'ed me about Nony vs Idra. He suggested that I watch the andromeda game so I did. Those blanket storms were quite amazing.

Ro32 finally finished completely. I'll upload the replays in a .rar file soon. Sorry I haven't been casting =[. Busy / lazy / finals + studying week now.

this interview is from [RUTGERS]Nexus, such a cutie pie
+ Show Spoiler +
ME:How was your Ro32 match? Close? One-sided? Anything exciting during your games?
NEXUS:The matches are boring. They are indeed, VERY one-sided. In fact, they are so one-sided that I actually text and eat an apple/cereal during the game. I actually remember not even using my keyboard during some games because I felt like seeing my APM with mouse only. It's a joke. I demolish everyone. People win 1 game with some stupid all-in build and think they're wild, when in fact, I'm sitting there eating my cheerios and they try to 4 gate. Nothing exciting, it's merely 1a2a3a4a and typing GG.
ME:Tell us about your SC past (ie. other tournaments, how long you been TLing, when did you start playing, etc.)
NEXUS:Without giving away too much information about my past SC history, I'll simply say this: I demolished ToT)ClouD( in TL Attack (who just recently got wrecked to G5 in TSL2 who is also a horrible player) and then TL.Net didn't give me the mousepad because I'm a "banned" user. As for how long I've been playing... 3 or 4 years? Other tournaments that I've played in - none. I play with koreans (human beings who are actually competant at this game, unlike the idiot foreigners and basically everyone involved in CSL).
ME:If you could fuck one programer, who would it be?
NEXUS:Well, the answer SHOULD be TossGirl, but nah. I'll do Bisu right in the butthole, with some lube, of course.
ME:Any advice for your [insert your race here] fans? What are your feelings about the Protoss race?
NEXUS:I have no advice for my fans because I don't want to have any fans nor do I care about having fans. Secondly, my feelings about Protoss are this: I can't be beaten.
ME:aww cute response
NEXUS:F U SON
NEXUS:IM TRYIN TO BE RUTHELSS HERE
NEXUS:cute is the last thing.
ME:Strongest/Favorite matchup? Why, etc.?
NEXUS:My favorite match up is PvP. As for 'strongest' match up, I suppose it depends on the map. My PvP and PvT are pretty equal. However, some maps I can play better on.
ME:If you could have a grudge match with anyone is CSL, who would it be?
NEXUS:That bitch from some school who was the worst player of all time, yet, SOMEHOW, he managed to beat me during the regular season... the greatest fluke of the century, indeed. I mean, yeah, it's one game and everyone knows one game means nothing, but this is just an embarassment.
ME: lol pisan!
NEXUS:YEAH
NEXUS: that bitch.
NEXUS: then i demolished cu later
NEXUS: 5-0 with off race
NEXUS: rick racked that geek into the next dimension
ME:How do you feel about the next CSL+ season?
NEXUS:Rutgers will win this time. We would've won this time, but I got into a car-accident. Oh well.
