3 and 5 are autowin for KTF
1 is autowin for Soul
soul might lose 4, but will probably win 2...
they have to win both 2v2s though.. thewind cant really kill ra, and yooi has nothing on reach.
NOTHING

I think its better if they do the playoffs this way. If they did mercury vs mercury and saturn vs saturn playoffs, there is no meaning in being 1st place before the playoffs. Teams will play harder to hide their strats/players from each other because they will play a team from their own league in the playoffs. And they won't try hard to become 1st place since they just have to be in the top 2 of 5.
|
I think the team that wins the first match will win.. If KTF wins, it will be very easy for them since like Steve said, Reach and Ra are almost auto-wins. But if Soul wins, they have a good chance since they are 50/50 in 2vs2s and maybe either TheWind or Yooi might be able to pull off a miracle.

thewind can beat ra
he can definitely impress, and he has before (soul vs GO MTL final vs Xellos, RAPE!)
it's a zvp, and this is all thewind has had to do for a while anyway -_-;;
should be the deciding game (2v2 are always deciding games in pro league)
anyway ra vs thewind will be a horrible rape for one player -_-
if it turns out to be a good back and forth game then o_O
|
Valhalla18444 Posts
yooi will not beat reach. its just not possible
ra might fuck something up, but i doubt it
|
Hexatron should be playing KTF.....-_- damn Soul
|

writing off themarine so easily is kind of blah
I mean, they must have used him over Sync for SOME reason 
though I don't recall surprise players have had much success -_-
|
I want JJu, Nal_Ra and Reach to win.
I'm not so sure about the 2:2 games tho.
|
TheMarine will utterly rape Jju. I promise u that...

much <3
i just seen that it's chojja(z)/yellow(r) in 2:2 team... that's some pretty fast hands there, gonna be dangerous if yellow randoms zerg...
|
COME ON JJU!!!!!!!!
die marine (tho u rock too, still die)
|
I want KTF to win overall, but I would like to see JJu rape Marine.
|
KTF is currently on a 8 game winning streak.
TM does standard supply then rax build.
Jju does 12 expo before spawning pool
|
Jju goes 12 expo, then pool, then 3rd hatchery at the choke area.
TM goes 2 rax gas then academy
|
TheMarine advances with 6 rines 2 firebats 2 medics but Jju has 2 sunkens at his choke.
|
Jju now goes Lair, Jju attacks the units with many zerglings but out of nowhere 3 more firebats appear and rape Jju's zerglings
|
Jju attempting zergling harass in TM's main but TM defends without a problem.
TM now has a factory near Jju's choke..TM is containing Jju with MMF troops until he can get tanks to get rid of the sunken defense line.
|
Jju again attempts zergling harass with about 8 lings and kills around 4 scvs.
at the same time TM is now attacking the sunken line with 2 tanks.
|
TM now runs in with MMF troops and destroys all sunkens.. Jju is making lurkers but they get destroyed just as their made.. looks like TM will win
|
TM's troops outnumber Jju's troops heavily..
Jju's 3rd hatchery at choke is destroyed and his main is now destroyed as well..
GG situation..Jju looking very disappointed....T-T
|
TheMarine is the man, now KTF can lose everything. TM won and that is important ^^.
|
Jju now only has one hatchery at his nat and that's all..but he isn't typing out
|
|
Sounds kinda like Jju's game vs NaDa on Incubus where he also lost o bunch of lings in the beginning to firebats and just got bitchslapped really hard after that... Works for me however, I want KTF to win
|

Jju is so damn unpredictable. One day he beats Reach and the next day he gets lurkers slower than a usual b.netter and loses to the silly bunker/tank setup that terrans have been using for the last 3 years. asdf!
|
Sharp what line up for 2v2 is no 1 in KTF? I mean sometimes it is Chojja/YellOw, sometimes YellOw/Ra, before it was Reach / YellOw, I even have vod with Ra/Sync. I mean who they send when they don`t want to risk it? Is it Ra/YellOw?
|

jju = desperate zerg
|
Jju was concentrating on zergling before he went lurkers. His plan almost worked when he destroyed all of the rines but firebats were reinforced just at the right timing and Jju had to take back his lings after loosing more than half of them. If the firebats weren't reinforced, Jju would have won since he would have killed all of TM's troops and also destroy the factory
|
damnit, i hate liking jju cos he's so fucking unpredictable and he can play like a god (eg. the series vs Nal_Ra) and he can play like a total retard (many of his other games) with no indication before the game starts as to which he will do.
EDIT: i guess that's the fun of it tho, liking nada would be boring.

It doesn't matter since all of them are so freakin good but Yellow/Ra is probably the strongest.
|
Not chojja/yellow ? Chojja has one of the best zergling micros I have ever seen. And yellow is a good random player...

i suspect ra's protoss >>> chojja's or yellow's terran or toss.
|
Yellow(Z)/Nal_Ra(T, KTF) VS Jju(Z)/Hwasin(T, Soul) on Neo Guillotine.
If KTF wins this, it will probably end 3-0 for KTF

Ra playing Terran..this will be interesting 
Game starts.
Ra at 1, Yellow at 7 Jju at 11, Hwasin at 5
|
C'mon wax, trust in the FORCE ^^. Miracles happened before...
|
Jju does extremely fast drone scouting..he scouts with his 7th drone I think.
Jju attempts gas rush but Ra builds refinery like 0.00001 second faster ^^
|
Yellow goes 9drone pool and so does Jju
Ra has a weird gas first then rax build because of the gas rush.
Ra fakes a bunker, then cancels, then goes factory.
Hwasin goes 2 fac.
|
ra as terran... did he choose that or random in to it?
|
Both terrans are going 2 fac, Ra at a bit slower timing.
Yellow has aroundd 12 lings now attacking Hwasin's choke. Yellow destroys a depot and pulls back. Really good sense from Yellow
|
rA played with terrans 2v2 before.
|
Ra chose terran.
Both terrans are gathering vults from 2 fac, and Yellow has much more lings than Jju.
That supply depot guerilla was really important..it gave time for Ra to catch up on that bit of time he was slower than Hwasin.
Ra and Yellow now attack Jju's base with lings+vults.. JJu blocks but has no drones left
|
Instead of helping Hwasin goes counter to Ra, but looks like Ra will block this..
|
Jju now has 4 drones, but Yellow attacks again.. looks like Jju will be out now.
Now what matters is if Hwasin will be able to take out Ra
|
Yellow goes to help Ra but looses 8 zerlings to a single mine and can't help
|
Ra breaks through Hwasin's offensive line.. Jju has no drones but he is still alive with 10 zerlings
|
damnit i don't know who i want to win at all......
GO EVERYONE!!!!!!
|
Go underdogs!!! I guess....
|
Ra defends with tanks+vults and is now going 2 starport. Things looking extremely bad for Soul. Hwasin knowing he has to do something before more time passes, attacks Ra with vults+Jju's lings.
Looks like he will do some damage here!
|
Soul needs to hold on to this chance, if this gets blocked its GG.
Very good sense from Hwasin, attacking at the timing where Ra switches to 2 star wraith!
Ra looses all his scvs~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
Ra just gets 2 wraiths and Hwasin retreats. Hwasin no tries to attack Yellow with vults but Yellow has 3 sunkens and is now going spire.
Ra doing some damage to Hwasin with the 2 wraiths, and Ra now has 2 scvs
|
Jju is eliminated.
Hwasin did heavy damage to Ra but it looks like he won't be able to defend the muta+wraith attack from KTF.
Hwasin now switches to golls
|

hahah unlucky ra!
|
Yellow now concentrates on air units and defends with 4 sunkens.
Ra blocks his entrance and now has 2 scvs.
Hwasin now taking his nat.
|
Yellow has an expo at 10 region.
Hwasin needs to do damage before Ra can get back on track..so he advances with golls but Yellow harasses with mutas so he pulls back.
Ra now has 7 scvs
|
has yellow expanded? EDIT n/m turning into a yellow vs hwasin game...
|
Since Hwasin has a nat, he is getting an unlimited number of golls but golls are too slow compared to mutas+wraiths so Hwasin isn't advancing yet
|
Hwasin now advances with golls to Ra's base.
Yellow's mass mutas come to defend and easily block the golls.
|
Looks like KTF will win this one easily.
Now it's mutas+tanks for KTF
|

gonna be hard for him to eliminate ra without getting countered by yellow, or having his attack force lynched
|
Hwasin again attacks with golls, again mass mutas come to defend and Hwasin looses his golls once again
|

yellow is so pimp.
|
Yellow attacks Hwasin's nat with mass mutas and succeeds in destroying the CC before the golls can arrive.
Now it's impossible for Hwasin to win
|
Yellow is the sexiest zerg around, not to mention gosu too...
|
Yea Yellow really is sexy. Yellow now destroys Hwasin's main CC.
Hwasin has no CC now-_-
|
this report is really good [BOyGiRl]ShaRp. thx loads.
strong performance by yellow
|
Hwasin now only finds out that Ra has an expo at 10. He does an all in attack with all his troops but Yellow defends it without loosing anything and Hwasin GG's..
Jju looks very disappointed..poor Jju ^^
Yellow and Ra talking to each other and smiling ^^
|
Now it's Ra vs TheWind..I'm looking forward to total domination by Ra
|
Don`t be so sure. The map name is Requiem, and I am sure TheWInd will do something unexpected.
|
hmm. i think the strongest game i saw on this map (requim) was forge-first fast expand into sair/reaver by ForU (i think).Because back-expanding to the islands after that opening is good. Having said that, after the faliure of strats such as Reach's fast-scout build i wouldn't be suprised if Ra 2-gated.
|
Game starts Ra is at 12 THeWind is at 3.
gogogogogo Ra
|
Wind goes 12 hatch then pool,
Ra goes 2 gate zeal rush^^ Resonate was right~
|
Ra now has 1 zeal at Wind's nat but Wind has 8 lings
|
Ra now has 3 zeals + 1 probe looks like Ra won't do damage..Wind has 12 lings.
But Ra has reinforcements and now has 5 zeals
|
Ra knows he won't do damage so he pulls back his zeals and goes gas then core
|
Ra goes stargate and gathers zeals..he has around 8 now.
TheWind still only has 2 hatches and pool, he isn't going hydra or lair or anything.
|
Wind just starts building a third hat in his main..and is gathering mass lings.
Wind traps Ra's zeals in the corner and kills about 6 zeals with little damage
|
Ra now has a corsair harassing overlords..
Wind's mass lings run to Ra's choke and manage to break through the defense line.. great timing+micro.
The wind just destroyed the pylon that powered Ra's gates..Ra's gates are now unpowered.
|
Ra just now starts to build a cannon near his nexus but it still is destroyed.
Ra manages to defend with probes but his gates are unpowered and to add to that Wind is now getting hydras
|
Wow..looks like TheWind will beat Ra
|
Ra has no gate now-_- he has a forge, 3 cannons, stargate, and core
Ra now builds Robotics.
|
Ra's stargate is just destroyed.. TheWind is now attacking for the second time and looks like Ra won't be able to hold on.
It's 3 cannons+probes VS 15 hydras 4 lings
|
Ra adds cannons and now has 5, but still looks like Wind will break through..
Ra gg's
Wow gogo Wind
|
|
Yellow(R)/Chojja(Z, KTF) VS TheWind(R)/Ccoma(Z, Soul) on Eye in the Sky
It will really depend on what the two players get from random
|
fuxxoring hell!!!!
well it sounds like the 1-sided pwn-fest that people predicted.
That map just doesn't like even games...
i'm backing [Soul] so that we get a 5th game...
but i fear the yellow/chojja combo...
|
Chojja starts at 7 with Zerg Yellow starts at 1 with Terran WInd starts at 5 with Protoss Ccoma starts at 11 with Zerg
Both teams didn't get 2 Zerg..
|
Win does probe micro to prevent Yellow from building rax..
Wind goes 1 gate forge
Ccoma goes 9 pool
|
ah, that sounds like fun. I'd rate TheWind's toss over Yellow's terran cos TheWind races toss on islands regularly
|
Wind attempts 2 cannonc + 1 zeal rush, Ccoma aids with 6 zerglings..
Yellow lifts his rax, Chojja goes counter attack but does no damage!!!
|
Yellow blocks with bunker with 3 scvs..
The Wind blocks Chojja's counter attack with around 10 probes..
|
Chojja now goes lair..
Yellow still only has around 5 probes.
Chojja still harassing with zerglings..
|
probes?
|
Chojja destroys WInd's forge and gate..
Wind is now building core and cannons near his nexus.
It looked like Soul would win easily but Yellow managed to hold on
|
Ccoma goes to attack Yellow and chojja counter-attacks Ccoma's main and destroys his probes..
wow..all Yellow does is defend defend defend and all Chojja does is attack attack attack and just like that KTF will win
|
Wind now has 1 stargate + citadel,
Ccoma has no drones and no pool
Chojja has a spire already and looks like he is getting mutas.
Chojja again attacks TheWind
|
Oh my goodness Chojja is a frekean monster 
He destroys Wind's stargate
|
i like your report [BOyGiRl]ShaRp it seems that all players are tosses
|
Yellow is now back on track..he is going 2 fac.
Chojja now gathering mutas.
Ccoma still has no drones..Ccoma is same as out
|
Wind now has 4 sairs but Chojja has 6 mutas + 6 scourges
|
All KTF has to do now is simply attack and end Wind.
Wind has no chance..
Now Yellow does vult harass and kills numerous probes
|
It's gg situation but Wind is holding on..
|
Now Yellow adds tank to the vulture line to get rid of the cannons..
Wind looses half of his sairs to mutas+scourges..but sairs don't matter to vults+tanks
|
Now Chojja has lurkeres..
It's really gg situation now
|
Wind looses his gas and stargate..he attempts last minute overlord harass with sairs but doesn't do much..and he gg's
|
Thx for reports, gw as always...made my morning/lunch
|
same here but still cant figure out about these probes
|
Tnx for the reports. These days live reports > Vod's
|
wow total rape, i can'r believe they didn't manage to knock yellow out with a 2 on 1 attack like that.
good work chojja!
weird, but chojja used to be on the soul team.
is that a 3:1 for KTF then?
|
Yes 3:1 and they advance to Round 3 finals..
and my mistake on saying probes..Its Yellow's scvs
|

yellow didn't play any of the 1:1 games, TheMarine got 1 of the points...
