kolll whiney ?
thats the first time ive heard that...
|
not interesting without mondi... non korean sc is few steps from death
|
why wouldn't it be interesting without mondragon ? If anything its more interesting because there is no one to outright smash all, and everyone has a decent chance of winning.
|
im pretty sure kolll is in much better shape than mondi right now, hes probably not coming because hes not the clear favorite anymore
|
Breakdown still competing? Thats a shocker. Hope Goody takes it though.
|
I seriosly dobut Mondragon would smash all this time even if he played. He is not playing because there is a good chance he might not win this .
Top 3 advance? Infernal Horror Kolll is my prediction.
|
ooo hopefully pidgin can get far!!! But he is playing infernal
|
Only top 2 will fly to China.
Gogo HoRRor :D
|
i hope kolll can do an upset.
go young guns, go!
|
i dont think it would be an upset if kolll wins. hes really active, massing games on iccup from day 1 the last three seasons, and hes always somewhere in the top 5 ranked foreigners on iccup

any reason why mondi decided to not try out? TT
|
I hope koll wins, why are aCe and mondi not playing?
|
i think horror and kolll will advance frmo the winner bracket loser bracket is tough, rooting for breakdown though
|
Whoever thinks Mondi would utterly dominate this if he went for it.. seems not to know about kolll.. his ZvT and his ZvZ are absolutely great..
he's probably better than Mondi right now..
|
Well, Mondragon may lose in the round of 8 of a big foreigner tournament, but I think he would still be the favorite to win, regardless.
Still, WCG was made for upsets and I think German players are very strong, so anything could happen.

They cover the entire thing though and I doubt there will be more than 2 SC Matches on for the entire weekend,
|
Horror is so cheesey
Go Infernal and Gan!
|

|

|
|

if infernal doesnt make it this time...srsly..........t.t!

Kolll and Horror are the best players for now in Germany. I personally like Infernal, Closer and other german guys, but if those 2 will make it - it will be FAIR

although it would appear that horror beat him proxy fac ftw
|
Infernals play is very bad at times, though..
i hope he can make it..
kolll is the best german gamer right now.. maybe even best non korean zerg after ret, and chinese ones..
|
maybe infernal is better than horror, but he lost 0-2. WB final: kolll vs horror

edit: oh it's already being played. Please kick ass in the loser bracket, infernal. Don't choke again.

Click the match itself and you get the reps from that series. Unfortunately, you have to download all the reps one by one.
|
|

|

|
ouch naruto is out !
HORROR AND GOODY FIGHTING FOR THE 2nd SPOT !!

|
14, his mother is going to fly to China with him.
|
hahah nce kolll :-),but i hoping horror win
|
then he can trade yugioh cards with flash! such a lucky coincidence ... hm, or maybe flash is too old for that.
|
If Horror wins I'm going to have to cut myself a couple of times

I thought Kolll vs Naruto game 2 was pretty good. + Show Spoiler +Sorry to pick one of the only games he lost but the ones he won were pretty one-sided :o
|
Great showing my Kolll hope he does well!
|
14? Good lord. Go get 'em young blood.

Yeah.. that's what makes it look that way... yeah.

Koll has very good mechanics, but that's it. It's probably because he didn't play the game too long and has some leaks in its other aspects.
Nevertheless, Horror is much worse than him.

Anyway, how many SC players is Germany sending this year? I have no idea, I don't follow WCG nationals at all.

Is kolll potentially the youngest WCG SC Grand Finals qualifier?
Also, I'm pulling for HoRRoR to win.
|
I watched Koll's replays and from what I've seen he looked pretty strong. Looking forward to seeing how he will perform at the Grand Finals.

maybe for Starcraft, there was an 11 year old Japanese UT2K3 player.

Hm weird, didn't Germany send three instead of two players last year?

horror beats goody, so kolll and horror are going to fly to china

Congrats to Koll - destroying the competition! I really hope he trains hard to put on a good show. My impression is that ret is still a better zerg, but koll has a stronger muta component - if he's able to strengthen his macro, and his midgame control, he could do very well.
|
Germany / USA16648 Posts
Yeah, his mutaliks control is really, really good, but other than that he has a few holes in his game, i.e. decision making. Some examples that struck me during the WCG games: - making evolution chambers zvt (dunno about zvp), way before he using them for anything - vs Breakdown on Python there was moment where he was just barely in negative supply (few lords got killed), he didn't build an overlord for like a minute and then made at least 9 lords at once (I think he was on 4 hatcheries at that point) - leaving overlords in weird places, waiting to get killed (weren't scouting ovis or lords that moved due to muta stacking)
also, his hive play could use some refinement. All that aside I am still very impressed
|
wow, i'm so glad he made it. go kolll.
seems fair for horror, he does play alot. :D
|
14 only? so promising... good luck to him and also gj horror
|
kolll would have been the new idra if sc2 wouldnt be released soon
kinda sad ;/ maybe he will own sc2 then. gl in china
