Game 3 between NonY and Day is over and Game 2 between lastgosu and Artosis is over! Heres how they ended up.
Day > NonY @ Azalea. Day wins the series 2-1, NonY did a fast expo and Day did a 12 hatch at his min only then another expo at his first natural then did 5 hat dra. NonY did fast expo, then did reaver/sair build with 5 gate speed zealots, but couldn't even make it out of his base and Day[9] just ran him over giving him the win. --- lastgosu > Artosis @ PA! This match was amazing, after losing all his drones but 3 to a 8 rine 6 scv attack he crawled back into the game slowley until he got the lead and harassed with muta until Artosis was left with pretty much nothing. Then came the Muta/Ling/Lurker combo to finish Artosis off as lastgosu wins the series 2-0! ---
For those of you who are worried about NonY and Artosis, don't be! I was just informed that the final 4 bracket play IS DOUBLE ELEMINATION! So, NonY and Artosis still have a shot at coming back and winning it all.
The next matches about to happen will be:
lastgosu vs Day[9] in the winners bracker finals! The maps will be Azalea, Gaia, and Paranoid Androide IN THAT ORDER
The losers bracket round will obviously be:
NonY vs Artosis! Whoever wins this will play the loser between Day[9] and lastgosu. Unfortunately for the loser, their WCG dream will be over.
This WC3 commentary is really good too. I wish they had that at WCG Canada because I had to keep bugging players to figure out wtf was going on in the stage matches.
Game 1 of lastgosu vs Day and of NonY vs Artosis is finished. Heres wha thappened:
lastgosu > Day[9] @ Azalea! lastgosu just completely out played Day[9]. He went with a normal TvZ build and just contained Day not letting Day leave his part of the map and then just rolled him over pretty easily!
lastgosu 1-0 Day[9] , Next map is Gaia! Game is underway right now and lastgosu is bunker rushing! Apparently Day is in serious trouble! ---
Artosis > NonY @ unknown! Apparently NonY tried to do a reaver drop and it failed pretty badly and he was put in a bad spot after that and just couldn't recover.

i dont agree at all, nyoken was definately in trouble with minerals running out but at that stage in the wcg usa finals theres no excuse to give him that game, he still had a cc and could have floated/landed and he already had 1k in the bank probably plus another 500-1k he could mine from his bases, i cant believe the computer crashed there, IMO you have to replay that game.

i think the nyoken vs lastgosu game should've been replayed as well. too close to call even if lastgosu had a small advantage.
i think he had a sizable advantage but it wasnt insurmountable, if he had a stable amount of drones at each expansion + a bigger army then maybe youd have a case that it shouldnt be replayed, nyoken still had money left + a cc to land and guys back at home building/already made.
BTW the groups = travesty
If it was single elim the whole way then it wouldnt matter, but since outside of groups you have double elim i think the groups should have been seeded or somethin because that shit is just a joke.
you kidding? that attack was gonna kill all of nyos units. like 6 3/1 ults vs 12 rines 2 vults (no mines layed) tank, no meds. lastgosu mightve rallied ult ling and won, or just sat with ult ling scourge waiting for him to move out while taking a 5th gas and powering up.
Nony > Artosis. I don't know what map it was played or how it was won, but I do know that NonY has won and will play Day[9] tomorrow to see who plays lastgosu for the WCG USA Finals and the chance to go to Italy!
Guys, Lastgosu had a fairly large advantage. Nyo had just lost his third expansion, Lastgosu had 4 gases with 2 running bases and like 6 3-0 (3-1?) Ultras with a sprinkle of Zerglings. Nyo had very few units, like 12 1-2 Marines, couple Vults, few Tank. The pressure was on Nyo to either kill Lastgosu's expansions (very unlikely) or secure another expansion of his own (equally unlikely). As bad as you feel for Nyo getting the ruling against him, I'd feel worse for LG if he had that sizable advantage and had to give it all up and regame.
