What I said to Dsyxelic :D PM me desired dates after both players have come to an agreement. The decision is mostly on Zeran due to him not having the time issue, so please cooperate with him.
YES, YES, YES!!!! Don't worry Lumire, I am not active at the moment and I won't be until the 20th. I won't prepare at all for our match cause I have exams, but still. Finally a bo3, I will crush your zerginess despite the maps, EZ! glhf
awe the one person I don't want to face. Don' worry guys, my inner Flash is awakening. I'll take down Wands for the team. I'll rename myself as staves cause you know Staff counters Wand.
*cries* Save me BW gods from the wrath of Wands. Lol and thanks for the support bullet. BTW shimy, I updated the video.
I didn't want to face you either Reclusive - you're a player in this league I respect a lot. When we had our little mini series - I struck fear when I felt the eye of the tiger in you. You wield a lot of potential and growth and It's also chilling to know that you are equiped with both perspectives in the PvT matchup.
It's devastating to know that one of will move on and for one of us the journey ends, but I will still be satisfied in my performance in this league if I were to be knocked out by you.

Like said in the rules, I need to know the desired play date and time 72 hours before the actual play date. This MUST be a date that the non-inconvenienced player can agree on via screen shot of agreement and/or personal message. The reason for the detailed requirements is because an ASL staff member must be present during all games from here on out of the tournament. Games played without staff being present will not be accepted.

I think you're a really good player as I played you in the ASL ladder and also judging from watching your stream. Also, Terran pride baby! :D

I can't speak for everyone but imo when Lumire posted his escapades on SC2 in a thread with die hard Broodwar fans - he no doubt became public enemy #1. Also Wallace is a fan favourite and after watching your pvz match with him in the ISL - his PvZ can contend with the best zergs in the ASL.
The polls' title should be changed to "who do you want to win" instead of "who will win" since the majority tend to vote for the person they like. Which is acceptable since we do not have all the cold hard facts on how good certain players are in certain match-ups, maps, etc. That's the beauty of this league - the skill ceilings for players in this league can change drastically with the help of an incentive.
I really like both players so I can't wait to watch them both battle it out. Best of luck to both Wallace and Lumire.
Guys, guys. Look, that's Lumire's excuse if he loses his match. First post in this thread and he is already making excuses. Why so sad Lumire, why so sad ? =D

Can you find a computer from which you can play, please ? I really don't want to pp, because I have exams coming up. Additionally, I have an exam on the 24th as well. I'm sure you have a friend or someone who can give you a computer to play our games. Wouldn't take much more than an hour. There might be pc clubs as well in the US right ? Please find a way, I will really appreciate that.
I really don't have one im on my phone now, as you said it will take less than an hour im sure you can spare the time. I also dont mind playing live on the 25th if it works better for you/admins approve.

FFS, are you telling me you have absolutely no way of finding a fucking computer with a mouse and a keyboard to play our games tomorrow in the United States ? Are you sure, are you fucking sure ? Stop bullshitting me and fix your problem, I won't put up with shit like that, OK ? I want to play my games asap and not think about SC at all the next two weeks. So unless you give me a good reason I won't pp our games, that's ridiculous!

I will add that just because he lives in the USA, it's not really easy to find another computer to play on o,o I live 30+ miles away from anyone I know that would allow me to use a computer, but that's just me.
Lumire has asked for a PP of his game and hopefully you can both agree on a time that does not hinder Wallace due to him being the inconvenienced one here.

Ok, I have exams on the 23th, 24th, 26th, 31th and 1st of June. So I would like to play tomorrow if we can or forget about it until my exams finish. If that's ok with the format of the tourney I agree to play after the 1st of June. If not, its your call, I really don't give a shit anymore..
I havent even ordered it yet and the match is at 11 my time...
And no theres absolutely no way I can find a computer where I can play sc by 11 tommarow...
Why dont you take your angst fueled by your inadequecy to beat me in asl ladder or crtl and direct it towards your cat and/or mousepad instead of getting upset about a circumstance I have no power to fix in such a short time.
Quirinus' reps seem to be protected by The Force everywhere on the Internet. Can't download a single one of them. Anyway, GL HF to all the players who have matches tonight. I'll do my best Beware, you zerg!

Ok then. I already mentioned when I will be available to play our games. After the 1st of June if not today. As I already mentioned as well I have five exams in a matter of week so my plan was to beat you today, but since you can't come I don't know what the situation is. The rules don't say anything about pc problems, only about time zone issues. So its up to the admins to decide in this case.

Haha, yea, the repdepot is down. I tried looking for your reps too. xD

I don't want wo, we will play whenever you are ready and I don't have exams. Write here as soon as you replace your psu and we can play the games. I will then think of some time we can play those.
I firstly want to apologize to the players, sponsors, and staff of the ASL. My absence as of late is due to a family emergency and I put my family first. I thank you all for understanding.
Secondly, I'm back home picking up a few things to head back and I wanted to make sure things were in order before I left.
- I'm missing replays from Fold vs Zeran - I'm missing replays from Splax vs Action
Now, I understand there has been a conflict with the postponing of matches and I take full responsibility of that due to me not being here to contact and communicate with the players. My hopes are that the players listed above come to an agreement and play before Friday (aka tomorrow). I do however understand conflicts with scheduling and will allow further postponing to Saturday.All games must be played before Sunday or W.O. is given to the inconvenienced player.
FREEDOM!!! See you on match day Fold, I'll try to revenge Zeran . Good games today, congrats to all that advanced, especially Wands, that was scary good play and thanks once again for the cast Elegant! And I am happy I eliminated Lumire, not only because he is bm, just goes to show why dodging is bad. glhf
Look at this guy! SOoooooo good ^^ Thanks a bunch for compiling this Quirinus! So glad to have you on the team :D
