"Race survival" --> tvp / pvz / tvz as bo7? And then the winning teams play a grand final or what is this about?
Anyway its nice to have games on medusa/jade and espacially on blue storm...
3 teams obviously. Two of the teams will start. I guess KCM randomizes it. All the games are Bo1. Both teams sent one player out. The winning player stays. The losing player is out of the Survival competition. After a match is over the other race team that wasn't playing will sent out one player and so on. A team is eliminated if they don't have a player left.
Short example:
P:Bisu, Stork, BeSt
T:Last, Flash, Mong
Z: JD, ZerO, EffOrt
1st Match TvZ: Flash vs JD --> JD is out. Next player will be a P player.
2nd Match TvP: Flash vs Stork --> Stork is out. Next player will be a Z player
3rd Match TvZ Flash vs ZerO --> Flash is out. Next player will be a P player
4th Match PvZ BeSt vs ZerO --> ZerO is out. Next player will be a T player.
5th Match PvT BeSt vs Last --> Last is out. Next player will be a Z player.
6th Match PvZ BeSt vs EffOrt --> EffOrt is out. Team Zerg is eliminated. Next player will be a T player.
7th Match PvT BeSt vs Mong --> Mong is out. Team Terran is eliminated. Team Protoss wins the Race Survival.

Yes. So far most matches and definitely all the more 'recent' ones were uploaded to Youtube.

Obviously not in the first event as seen in the op. I doubt he will play an event like this if he even isn't playing the team battle if he wants to reduce the stress on his wrists. But I could imagine that he will play in the future as long as his wrists feel fine

Weak showing by Light. His +1 5 rax isn't the best, but he managed to do so little with his mnm. At more points than not you probably couldn't even tell he had 5 rax by his rine count alone.
That was foreigner lvl micro from Movie, very good harass tho.
His HT's were walking up to hydras all game long and he never pulled them back (not even storming most of the time). Attack moving with zealots first into lurk hydra groups, storming his own observers..

Umm Zeus is casting this tournament, how is he streaming it as well?

Oh, I had no idea what he looked like these days. I just glanced at his stream on the sidebar and it was this event.

Yeah or if he'd at least scouted those morphing lurkers and blocked them with pylons..
Movie always gets caught when he cheeses even though he is capable of beating anyone when he plays standard. I'm guessing Movie cheesed because he wanted to get the match over quickly knowing he would have to play against 6 players in a row.

No matter how you wanna spin it, that's a really tough order. He could've wanted to cheese to finish games quickly so he's not too tired either.

Well he did beat Mind in a Bo5 in Starleague41 S4, and he recently beat Flash. But yeah he would also have to get through Last, Effort, and Larva. I didn't like the tournament format and Larva I believe was the scariest player in the tournament.

There will be no English casting unless somebody volunteers.
Next week Observer will make allies with one player for comfortable broadcasting.
If there are more questions, please leave questions bellow.
Have a nice week and please enjoy our next match.
Best regards.

Hi! Do you or anyone mind if I volunteer to do English casting for this?
I probably cannot cast live because I live in NYC and this starts at 5 AM my time but I am willing to do a weekly re-stream cast (maybe Tuesdays 4 PM EST - 8 PM EST) on my Twitch channel and upload on YouTube for English VODs.
If I'm able to get replays, that'll be super awesome since then I don't have to do English commentary on top of Korean voice commentary but if not, that's ok too. I'll try to lower volume on the Korean commentary then if I have to cast on top of an existing VOD.
