Seems like group D was indeed the group of death. For the third place series, A first map was never decided for the first match, so i' ll let you two pick it together. If you don' t manage to find an agreement we will just randomized a map from the map pool (in that case i hope my sorting abilities will not be as bad as Jangbi' s). Next tournament will be a bit more spread out, we will be keeping the current format with a few variations. Map pool will be decided again from a poll. (Fs will be already in map pool and i' ll be dropping jade as mandatory) Going to post the thread after Final is over. | ||

Interview with  EssBee Q:Congrats on getting to the finals, how do you feel about it? A:Thank you, I feel pretty good about it since I've heard a lot of talk about BaBo  , Dewski and Shuruken  (maybe others) being favorites and I wanted to prove that I can be amongst them even if I don't play very often.Q:That valkyrie play in game 2 did quite a bit of damage, but did not win you the game. Did you practice that strategy before? A:Yes I did practiced it a bit before against my friend panix but I never really gave it some thoughts and I should have perfected it better before using it. Since I don't feel as comfortable in TvZ as I am in both TvP and TvT, I thought I should try something fancy to give me an edge but unfortunately it didn't worked.Q:After being down 0-2 what where your toughts? where you afraid of going out of the tounament? A:Yes I was afraid. Like I said, I'm not confident in TvZ so I wasn't so sure of what to do but I told myself to go back to the basics of TvZ and see how it goes. Fortunately for me, it did went well. Q:In game 5 five you reacted perfectly to the 4 pool, where you expecting something like that? what where your toughts? A: Yes I did expected something like that. I watched the replays of Dewski vs Shuruken and I saw that Shuruken was able to use many builds and that he was not afraid to cheese. After he chose Aztec as the final map and knowing that he was on a 2 games losing streak on standard games, I was 100% sure he would go for a 4 pool so that's why I've sent 2 relatively early scouts to be sure.Q:Seems like you'll be facing obelisco, since you beat him in the group-stages do you feel you have the upper-hand going into the finals?A:Yes I do feel I have the upper-hand but I shall not take him lightly. Q:What was the hardest game for you in the tourney? A:My hardest game was probably the game vs Shuruken on Sniper Ridge. I don't like the map but I thought I could use the long cliffs to my advantage while denying his expansions and fortunately, it worked well but I had to constantly be aware of his movements so I don't get off guard by some sneaky lurkers. TvZ is the only matchup where I don't feel I have an advantage going into late game so that's another reason. | ||

Why D/C rank Team League thread is more popular then GC3 thread? The lower game level is the games are more interesting? Or what? Its paradoxically. Very strange things happen on tl.net... | ||

Majority of the starcraft broodwar fans are D/D+ ranks player so that accounts a lot of us lower gamers who are not top tier like isl3 and gc3 level of players . It's nothing to do with being paradoxical some times it's good for us newbies to play some tournament in our league . Also what else to talk about isl3 or gc3 ? besides it being a place for top tier bw foreigners I don't see a problem at us d rank getting some activities for our own league . | ||

There are more people for whom this topic is/was directly relevant (as Sawamura ninja'd me to explain), and a lot of the posts in here are made by the same people, giving an inflated page count. I've made at least a page if not more of posts in this thread by myself. | ||

Thanks for casting the missing games! EDIT: Some notes on G1 to help you in the future perhaps: Z taking third at a second nat on FS is standard because then you can easily secure 4 and then 5 gas with that third you kept from before. Defending the second nat vs a FE build is not hard and after that it's hard for toss to break it due to sunk spore lurker. Sair always should scout the Z base first to see the tech, the overlords that are farther away will die anyways as they return to the main if there is no spire, so why not hunt the ones in his main AND see the tech? Also, sair/dt is outdated and rarely works nowadays as most zergs get dra/overlord or spore/sunk or a combination of the above at each base. Storm is usually upgraded as soon as templar archives come up and 2 ht usually made right away at least as well. DT wasn't dead, just hiding and they ARE hard to ses xD Cannon wall-off is standard in pvz at expansions because well they're cannons they kill shit, stall units, and allow templar to storm the units attacking the cannons... Hydra have to shoot up, lings need swarm, and ultra can't runby, seems pretty win to me? Almost no one makes zealots to break lurk contains, hence the goons that you asked about... 1 storm + 1 goon shot = dead lurker. I felt like your game sounds were a bit loud and the lack of music was a little noticeable but not necessarily bad. I suggest you lower the volume a little because you have great action casting but it gets drowned out by hydra deaths :p As you noted it was Bo5 not Bo3 so you should have as many reps as Bo# but I think you know that xD Game 3: It was overpool as the overlord finished right before pool placed. Overall: Judging by your name you are an SC2 guy, so I want to thank you especially for trying out BW casting and I hope you enjoyed it and I hope I helped! Keep it up! | ||

Thank you so much for this  There's still so much for me to learn! But now I'm going fulltime casting/playing sc2 and bw so hopefully everything should improve with time. I have had the game sounds problem every time, mainly because I regulate my own sound through the external sound card, and I can't really listen to it like everyone would :S Thank you very much for the analytical help, I'll make sure to remember all of this. I'm reeeeeeaally outdated since I played bw like 5 years ago I shall learn all the races and watch recent progames to see what is up with the metagame.Thank you again and www.youtube.com/bwcasts for more! | ||
