is yaoyuan working for anyone for this? It should have started by now I think
|
ugh why did he go for the speedling break, didn't he have sight of the ramp?
|
Poor Lux, lost the first game because he accidentally canceled his lair and thus got a late spire. Hopefully he doesn't get knocked out -_-

100% mistake...cost him the game. Maybe he was nervous.
|
What a letdown by Lux. He got way too greedy and was heavily punished for it. Damn it, this guy is in my Fantasy team. He better pass today.
|
Yaoyuan isnt working its just looping the same thing
|
Terrible mistake by Luxury with the lair cancel. : (
|
my god lux better not lose I spenjt 2 points on him for the fantasy MSL thingie
|

Lux gets to play some ZvT though, which he's better at.
Especially against these two terrans who, honestly, aren't great. I'm confident he'll qualify unless he gets careless and sunken broke
|
both of these terrans are 100% capable of beating luxury
|
capable yes but not the favourite

since yaoyuan has failed us today, live reports would be greatly appreciated by anyone watching it
|
Wow great game by frozean. Really nice vulture harass by him.
|
Oh man my LB is already getting raped hard. :<
|
I haven't watched for a while, any reason why Daum doesn't show the whole screen?
|
Frozean > Tempest
Frozean goes through.
Basically Frozean did a safe 1fact cc while Tempest went 1 gate nexus to DT drop, but let in 3-4 vultures which saw the dt's and killed a few probes. Tempest wasted the DT drop and let Frozean's vultures in to kill his probes. From there Frozean just outmacro'd and rolled over Tempest despite some decent stasis usage.
|
Ah, Tempest let those vultures in. Explains why he was so far behind when reports returned ...
|
i count 18 people in the audience
|
|

Food spawns in the fridge. I quickly outmacro it by producing 4 knives out of my Drawer. My deadly micro then rips an already cooked Chiken breast to small chunks. My momentum allows me to cut and wash Salad without suffering any loss, barring a small cut on my index. The killing blow is a Mustard heavy sauce. I consider teching to Tarragon but decide against it and push to the Table. GG. Bon appétit. Meanwhile, Tempest spawned @ 7, Frozean at 1. Tempest goes for fast DTs but is owned by vults in his min line. He then techs to arbiter but is owned by vults in his min line. With a sizeable Zeal/Goon/Arb army, Tempest pushes out but hurries back as he is owned by vults in his min line. Frozean takes the middle of the map with a tank/vult/golies army. Tempest goes for battle but is owned by idiotic stasis on vults protecting the tanks, preventing his Zealots from reaching said tanks. Tempest army is raped, but somehow killed most of Frozean's army. Frozean sends reinforcements. Tempest has none. Frozean pushes. GG. Boring game. No talent anywhere.
|
not really paying attention but it looks like lux 9pool extractor trick DE 2rax gas
|
Lux playing what looks like 9 Pool 12 Hatch Exp
DarkElf with 2 Rax
|
Lux 9 pool, Darkelf 2 rax
6 lings kill one scv building the second rax but Darkelf walled well and see's off the harrassment without losing anymore.
|
light harassment from Luxury picks off a building SCV but can't do anything else.
he is denying scouting SCVs though
|
lair upgrading for Lux, Darkelf with a pretty fast Acad moves out with a small group of Mnm
Lux looks more then prepared with 3 sunks
|
lux transitioning to 3hatch lair DE 1base play lux scouts with overlord sunks done as rines reach his choke DE sitting outside lux's nat, starting his expo
|
DE wait outside Lux's nat with 7 rines 2 bats and 2 meds, but he can't push in. He lifts off his 2 rax and moves them back to the base?
|
darkelf going for 2 rax sunken break.. wonder if it will work.. especially with 4 sunkens up.
|
ebay up for DE with weapons researching, 4th sunk up for Lux alhtough he doesnt really need it yet.
|
gogo lux, use the feint lair build
|
DE backs away, mutas are out
|
i think DE has 4 rax now factory started, mutas out 5 mutas get 3 scv kills b/c of late turrets
|
Turrets are erected just in time at the natural to avoid any real losses
|
Lux expands to 11 Nat, Muta harass is doing some damage, taking out about 8 SCV's total
|
science facility/queen's nest/lux's 3rd started lux's mutas seem kinda passive lux moves outside DE's base with muta/lurk
|
5-6 lurkers hatching now, putting upa light contain with lurks and mutas but First Vessel will be out any second
|
3 tanks and a vessel are out and lurkers are forced to move back
|
Lux with a lot of lurkers now though (8-10), lings and mutas grouping together now. Maneouvering around DE's blob and looking to coutner it looks like,
No he moves back, he's just trying to buy time, keeping DE's troops from committing,
but here they come, DE moves into Lux's Nat, swarm is up to hold it off for now, Lux comes around to flank
|
Flank was... not amazing, didn't lose many lurkers but lings just got torn apart
|
DE pushing out hehe DE scans on his scout scv what?!? mutas attack roaming vessels then run away... with no losses DE sieges lux's nat lux sitting outside DE's okie swarm scares him off and lux trying to flankkkkkkkkkkkk with a shitload of unitssssssssss but to no availllllllllllllllllllll b/c his lurkers were too far awayyyyyyy
|
NYdus canal connecting 11 and 7 now,
Lux's attempt to expand to 11 main is quickly stopped
|
DE pushes into Lux's 11 but swarm and lings hold it off, DE loses a lot of marines,
DE expands to Nat min only meanwhile, plague goes off on a blob of mnm
|
DE attacks lux's expo hero swarms hold him off and PLAGUUU is cast wow lux has a lot of lurkers looking at the minimap...DE has 3 bases now?
|
DE drops Lux with 1 dropship, they stim on the spire and... it zooms away befor eI can see what happened, DE moving into middle of the map with his blob, vessel count is getting quite big
|
here comes dropship of dooooom cleaned out by lings god DE has more tanks than phelps has medals O_O DE taking out lux's 4th lux harassing DE's 3rd with angrylings
|
Lux's 11 is in trouble, although he has taken 9,
flank by lux on minonly! does a lot of damage but cant hurt DE's economy
Lux's 9 Expo is taken out, he still has 11 main
|
Now lux is reducing the vessel coutn better, snipes two or three Vessels and then rips through like 15 rines,
DE regrouping forces in the middle
|
Ultra den is up for Lux, might be a squeeze on 3 gas
|
2:2 grades for DE vs 3:3 for Lux
|
Luxury hits DE's newly made 9 Exp with Lurker/Swarm and takes out a lot of SCVs, then a massive scourge snipe on 3/4 vessels, DE has a big blob but he's starting to look a little careless
|
okay DE the macro whore expands two more times lux shuts one down while lux's plagues leave a lot to be desired, so does DE's control XD and vessels sniped! 2-5 ultras out but god that terran ball is huge and announcers go PLAGUUUUUUU finally a good plague hurrr come the terran ball rollin to lux's nat and lux flanks with ultrasss and failssss but hero defiler saves the day so clutch
|
PlaguuuuuuuUUUUUUU! on blob, and ultras going round to flank/counter, DE pushes into Lux's nat but ultras run back and the attack is nullified thanks to a clutch swarm to save the ultras.
Lux now looks to be comfortably on 5 Gas, but DE still has some good macro, and has a big blob, but he really needs to hit Luxury soon and take out a base.
|
DE pushes up to 11, ultras run up to save the day! Hatch is JUST about taken out but DE loses everything
|
ultraling vs mmvessel cloud gogo you can do it lux and stream is dying DE's macro is dying but that fucking vessel cloud is not!! a ball of DE rines suicide to kill a hatchery
|
DE's macro is pretty strong here, he is moving out with another big force, but the leftover Ultras from the last defense mean, he has to fight a lot of ultras, which he does!
lots of ultra/ling are murdered in the middle there, but a defiler steps up to the plate and does a nice swarm, but this game could still go anywhere, DE decides to take out the 6 base, luxury looks like he will counter at 9.
Lux loses his 6 and Fails to counter at 9 because he figured like 1 ultra and 12 lings would be enough and it wasn't
|
okay vessels are gay lux engages at DE's nat dmatrix saves the day (along with lux not having shit) vessels are annoying the fuck out of me but apparently that's not so for lux b/c he's not killing them!!! DE's expos are back online and his ball is getting bigger by the second
|
Vessel cloud is getting too big again, lux needs to trim their numbers
|
game is slowly slipping from Lux after losing the 6, and... wait, he GG's
Lux is eliminated! : O
|
GG. Luxury loses. What a waste of fantasy points.
|
lux looks like he has lost the will to fight okay he ggs (in caps) DAMN MY LIQUIBET
|
That was quite a fun game, always swung back and forth,
but DE defended Lux's counters really well in general, Luxury only seriously damaged his economy like once or twice.
|
and now i cant be bothered to LR a TvP : (
|
I bet like 99% of liquibetters just got screwed right there
|
vessels are gayyyy like every single one of lux's ultras/defilers got irradiated idea for patch 1.16: nerf vessel speed so they move as slow as defilers XD
|
Damn, Luxury.
|
audience has dwindled to an 8 vigilant fans
|
fugly elf is brown and top right random toss user is orange and bottom left you can do this fugly elf!! for CJ!!!
|

|
And I know that there are some darkelf fans around here somewhere.
|
mkay commentators going crazy b/c of tankku tankku tankkkuuuuu that dies along with 5 not-so-hero rines to 2goons and 1 zeal with minimal toss losses DE holds of the heavy 3-unit toss offensive by mining his nat DE sneaks vults by the goons at his nat ramp lol vults are blocked from entering toss's nat by a pylon wall DT DROPP
|
IS IT A REAVER?!? A ZEALOT?!? 4 ZEALOTS?!??
NO!!! IT'S 2 DTS camera to DE's face:  that drop into DE's un-mine'd main with no comsats or turrets doing massive damage man those are fucking hero DTs they're like zeratul x2

|
DE is sweating like crazy wow
|
and DE has just started his 3rd factory! what a macro god! i'm guessing 160 supply toss vs 80 supply terran this is so over
|
DE thinks he is boxer and can make a crazy comeback..

|
ahaha that arbiter was made of FAIL attempts to recall into DE's army while tanking 2 turrets and a goliath
oh man i feel bad for DE now he's sweating from the lens of his glasses to the tip of his nose and tempest just walks in to DE's 3rd with arbiters + slowlots DE fighting with tooth and nail... too bad he doesn't have a little more to fight with (unit-wise)
DE ggs and wipes the sweat from his eyes and chin

Lux doing a Light? Beating top tier players then losing to people who show "Non-existing category" on TLPD.
|
|
T_T a lost my 1st player T_T
|
Lair cancels; I hate them, and now Lux lost... NOOOOO. I never would have expected it from pro gamers though.

Haha, I thought the same thing. Whenever a top player loses to a young pro I always just see it as more proof of how competitive SC is these days. These qualifiers are brutal, I mean if you're off for just two games then you miss an entire Starleague! I'm no Lux fan, though, so I say power to Tempest and CuteAngel.

oh luxury
you always know hes gonna play bad at least once in a week
|
And he plays bad on the worst day, too. Goddamnit Lux.
|
I am gonna start a new conspiracy thread : Luxury sent his brother to play these games. Thus he was sure to be eliminated, and would hence be able to focus on OSL. What did Yarnc get for this? More info there :+ Show Spoiler +THIS IS A JOKE (in case you hadn't figured out yet). I love retarded conspiracy threads though. The more retarded, the better.

It's the 17th NaDa's MSL. Am i right?
|
In the Luxury vs DarkElf game, I didn't get how Luxury lost. At one point, I think Luxury was running on 5 gas! DE expanded with ease all over the map. Learning TvZ right now, I would had lost right had zerg gotten 5 gas, but DE did had an insane amount of vessels.

and as for the game with tempest, canceling the lair sealed the deal but he behind anyway after that failed zergling harass, no?
|
Dang, there goes my anchor to my fantasy team -_-. Also, when did Frozean start winning so much o_O (I haven't watched the games yet, can somebody tell me if he's beast winning or barely scrapping by).
