MannerKiss claims to have beat Nony in a WCG match seven years ago. He says he's coming out of his glorious retirement to defend his honour in GemLeague.
DAMNIT!! I have been practicing blood bath my whole life, then a tournament comes out and I can't play in it, nO!!!!!!!!! Gl hf all, this will be fun, wish I coulda played ! If you need any backup players I'm here, Blood bath master here. ^^
Best maps, best players, best drawn OP, best random link to MDT threads, and you even made a game with graphics from Link to the Past. Trozz God Tier. I can't wait.

They are 1500 value patches, you won't mine that out for a long time. And even if you did, there's doodads on the other side that I'm pretty sure block any unit movement.
No, you're just two archons casting. You should split screen your observer videos so we see the same game twice at the same time. Or maybe each of you can focus on one player

I want to see that: two casters, both following one player, without vision of the other. It doesn't need to be split screen, two seperate streams will be perfect. I think I've seen something like this before, but can't recall where. Probably just random FPVOD streams playing each other by accident.
I can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure it's more intensive on the user end's processor to do that Would be the duct tape solution if the elegant one seems too complicated.

I dunno if I'm actually going to be able to do any casting/obsing on this (due to crazy ridiculous work schedule) but I could try and do some FPVODs with someone maybe.
I'm by far no caster or obs (I just spectate BW, and used to play years ago) but if I've got time I'll give it a go :p

Hey hey hey hey hey hey add me on skype so we can practice.
We'll have to see who can stream better. I think you probably have a better computer.
My icon is a random one! I play random race so it randomly changes! :D
Streaming BW doesn't take much, but you saw my BF3 stream :p I can stream or you can, I don't care. I'll be busy Saturday and Sunday, then at MLG Thurs - Monday the week after... Torenhire is my skype ID, add away haha
I think it'll be easiest to just say "Have all group stages played by March 25th (or some other random date)"
Then we just cast then during the week...each casting pair can take a group and cast it on a day. Like Me + Mizu cast group A on Saturday, you guys cast group B on Saturday, etc.
To avoid an organizational nightmare you arrange games with opponents on your own ;o Then replays are casted for reasons which were discussed elsewhere (but you've kinda ruined it lol). If you want to set a time to cast the reps that's up to you.
Kau, I'm calling you out. Your name is a homonym and it's always been associated in my head with homosexual cows. It is therefore highly fitting that you play zerg, a race with gay bovines, and it would be a pleasure to crush you under the boot of the noble Protoss. What say you to a duel tomorrow Sir?

Well crap I didn't read this until just now, maybe next weekend? You should Kwark a little on your smack talk because the last half of your post is pretty mannered. In any case, it shouldn't be too hard to beat someone who thinks that the best course of action to set up a match is by posting in this thread rather than sending a PM.

it was the melee versions. although that was on my laptop in single player from the link on the OP right now. I downloaded the earlier one that just had ob versions and those work on my desktop.
to my group ppl, I can play games for the next 2 hours or so then I have to peace out for the weekend...going to mlg. so otherwise I will have to play on monday....
casting group stage matches saturday morning kst at 7am. be there or be square. co-casting with sirjolt
AW YEAH
British accent + Sexy Irish accent FUCK YES
0.o people REALLY don't know what European accents sound like, at all. I recently had someone thinking that Sayle's accent was actually an English accent, and that my very English accent was just a mystery. Vaguely mind-blowing.
LOL Torte in the APM tier list hahahah, I was like 'who is that guy? OHHH' It's not too early in the morning either, so that's great for me. Can't wait to watch this and looking forward to the Kiante and SirJolt casting :D

We need more people to vote in this poll!
I have no idea what to vote for though, the awesomeness of D, Sayle (and maybe Kwark^^) in A and then some good people in B and C like Luckyfool
note the splitting of the vods was due to random bits of lag, especially near the end. sorry i didn't save vods on my computer (i would've if i knew it would lag like that) so some of the games may be a little bit spoiled
I might be casting tonight with Mizu - we're still figuring out some audio issues on my end...I logged in to stream teh gem league so I'd like to actually do it since I dropped what I was doing haha
We'll bump the thread if we get something going...just subscribe to it :D

Concerning OSL, it starts at 6 AM of my time, really bad. Hopefully there will be some VODs.

I can't even log on to ICCUP, let alone use AH. Also, I don't have fish ... we might have to reschedule
edit @ 3EST: right now I can get on iccup apparently. Can you?
This may be a little off topic or random, but the way you wrote this post is f****** amazing!!!!!!! Its super creative and I couldnt NOT compliment your work sooooooo..... Good Job!

Pokju (the guy that got proxy 2 gated in his main by Bisu and retired shortly after) and Hyungjoon (member of K-pop boyband SS501, star of Hyungjoon Becomes a Progamer) :D
One major problem I am having with these Tournaments where I cannot find the VODs could someone please direct me to the VODs page or something? Thanks so much!
Yeah Kau, Primeval Isles... Played this one on single player when I was bored, giving AI some handicaps to make it more exciting. Conclusion: give comps 1 hour to build up and expand on Free For All and they'll pose huuuge problems.
okedoke. gem league groups final day cast will be 5am kst on saturday (so friday night for euros). calender listing should be up soon i'll edit it in to this post
according to my calculations, CA and I have are both 4-3, and CA is not 4-2 (thus I am first place instead of him, since i won the head to head?). or did you list results wrong?
To be specific, it replaces the powergenerator backdoor with 12 stacked xel naga so that only splash can efficiently break it down, and stacks 8 crashed bcs on the outside backdoor to the natural. The others are all normal.
Kiante! Just started to listening to some of the VODs that you and (SirJolt I think?) casted of my games. I like listening to casts of my games because it allows me to pretend that I am a progamer. Thanks for casting Gem League!
In light of your comments about our grudge match I guess I'll go ahead and win this just for you.
And I play like a cheesy noob because I've literally not played bw in like forever and am too terrible to play straight up. Hint hint to my future opponents.
FYI to the caster in that one game: I advised him to make an evo chamber because i wasn't sure of map settings. Usually if you get eliminated you are forced to leave the game. Out of courtesy you have zerg's who spawn accidentally make an evo chamber since hatcheries might be taking up important space and blocking stuff with their creep.

I never saw an exact answer to the question. So I'll pose the question as well just like Metal asked. When are the VODs coming out? I need me some crazy BW action on these maps some more!
Man these games were sick. I loved the British guy the best though. "No no this is a good strategy! If ____ leaves, then ____ might survive!" and "And now he's demanding rent which works because _____ is taking real estate in his base..."
Ideas & CA fighting! (Since I placed last in the group, to save my reputation my group winners have to go as far as possible, so I can blame my results on having a hard group)
This weekend suits me, if the reps are done. I'm not sure if people would rather delay until we have Kiante to cast with us or if you guys would rather have more Gem League as soon as possible?
I'm going to run a similar "for funsies" league later on, once Gem League is wrapped up most likely. Of course Trozz should do Gem League II later on at some point as well
will the reps be released? if they will be, are they spoiler-free? like if its a bo3, there would be a fake game3. is there someway to hide the replay progress bar? =/
due to crappy internet im hoping to follow the foreign scene thru replays ;_;

Hey 2pac/CA You should send me those replays! I'll release them all.
I admit I have not played a full game! I'm liking the Cleric/Priestess, Sentinel, Slayer, Necro. Good combo of survivability, control, and damage. Maybe replace sentinel with Barb or Reaver.
well i have the reps for the 3/4th place and the GF match so uh, i guess normal time saturday morning kst? i'll confirm with sj and put it in the calender
