TL is on location at MLG Washington DC! You can follow our updates on the TL Twitter or below.
Day 1 Recap by heyoka The first day is over, and the field has been narrowed to just 24. Several of the favorites are still looking good to take it all, the winner's bracket is currently stocked with talent. Those at 3-0 include Tyler, IdrA, drewbie, qxc, as well as last MLG's finalists HuK and Kiwikaki. Notables fighting their way through the loser's bracket include Gretorp, Incontrol, TT1, Slush, Select, Lzgamer, Ret, Kawaiirice, and White-Ra. You can check out the brackets here and here to see who your favorite will face in the morning.
Noteworthy games:
- LastShadow apparently plays zerg for ZvP and ZvT, and racepicks T against zerg. After IdrA shut him down quickly in game 1, he won game 2 by thor dropping the natural at 12 oclock. It briefly looked as if he may take game 3 with 2 hidden barracks, but ended with him saying "gg you're sick good" after IdrA scouted the proxy just in time to stop the marine/marauder push.
- White-Ra vs Kiwikaki game 1, Kiwi opened with DTs and was stopped 1 hit shy of killing Ra's nexus. Ra came back into the game, only to have several DTs warped into his base thanks to a pylon on low ground, and after they finished off his nexus it turned into a huge last stand with all of his probes and army vs Kiwi's probes and army. Kiwi won by the thinest of margins thanks to good forcefield use.

That thing probably had a naming ceremony.
I dub thee Sir Zebra the n00b killa, long may you reign and may your rule be as unholy as it is vengeful.

I can't make out the manufacturer, anyone know where to get one like that? The color scheme is very smart.

Bahahahahahah Tyler's face. He looks like someone just cannon-rushed him.

I love that pic of ret and HuK that was twittered ... ripping off his everyday clothes to become a Liquid superhero.
|
Oooh shit IdrA with a smile haha.
Was IdrA's keyboard modified so that keys are easier to see?
|
anyone knows what mouse idra is using?

I seriously doubt IdrA has to look at the keyboard to play. =P It's probably just because it looks cool.
|
Amazing pictures. So much character to them. InControl fighting!
|
When is the stream going live?!
Loving the pics :D
EDIT: don't worry, just went up then!
|
This live updates more interesting than MLGs ^_^
|
I really don't know how to root for so may the best white guy triumph. ^_^
|
hahah the ret & huk pic is great
|
Wow, idras keyboard looks awesome. Can't make out the name on it though.
Great pics :D
|
When Jp and Day9 need breaks, Igoaf and djWHEAT will be subbing in for them.
For those unfamiliar with Igoaf, he's a 2k rated Zerg and also a 2.1k rated HoN player that previously hosted HoNcast and ArenaCast. He will also be casting WoW later this weekend. He's a Southern man with a unique sense of humor.

|
omg I just want it to start!!! Also someone needs to find out what brand that keyboard IdrA is using because it is sweet.

No, it says they are starting round *2* at 6:45.

It looks like Idra is using a Qsenn. He swapped the keys from the black and white ones, Jangbi-style. And I think the mouse is a Logitech mini optical, like zerious wrote above.

I couldn't get the stream to work with firefox, but it did work with IE...just a headsup for those who still have stream issues

So are they actually streaming anything Star Craft 2 related right now?
|
|
RoboBob do you mean you are currently seeing the games? All I'm getting is a logo. Really starting to be ridiculous...
I mean... you pay $10 to get HD stream(full coverage of SC2 the site says) And then they don't stream entire first round and now 2nd round starting and still no streaming?? Wtf??
|
am i being a brain dead retard or are the brackets hard to find? Can someone link plz?

Brackets at MLGpro.com
It's very disappointing to be missing the first round? I have been sitting here for two hours waiting for some sort of coverage. Thankfully TL is there to give me something.
|
Thanks to MLG|Shrew we can all use our 'maginations! "Masq was able to snipe the main nexus with a marauder drop an advantage"... I can just see the marauder dropping thier advantages all over that nexus... oh the humanity!
(oh hi, first post, lurker.) mck
|
I just wish the brackets were updated or at least with complete starting information. Maybe some really great person at the event could update brackets through liquidpedia since MLG is having a bad day.

they're streaming something but it's hard to tell with the HUGE logo they seem to be really proud of.
|
Are they gonna keep that logo over the stream the entire time? I'll go nuts if they do...

So I take it i'm not the only one who is looking at a stream of the MLG logo and music with nothing else With feint pictures of players behind the logo?

Correction - Ret v Machine
|
Yeah a MLG logo, forehead and monitor corner is about all we currently have for video coverage.
edit: mlg always has trouble in the beginning but makes up for it for the most part, I have learned to not get upset with the beginnings of MLGs anymore.
|
damn atleast the first game will be decent (hopefully if ret has actually been playing) i just hate that i have to have the stream sound on so i can hear when it starts when im browsing different tabs but the stupid music they play is just awful =/

No, I mean the stream actually loads, and you can see them doing camera setup. They aren't casting the RO64 though, so I guess it'll be another half hour till they actually show something.
|
Stream never worked for me. I blame Octospread or whatever it's called.

not in the front in the background
edit: right lol didn't notice the keyboard was too busy tilting my head trying to somehow warp virtual matter
|
Live in 10 min it says folks. Let's hope they show something else than a logo at at that point.
|
|
I really love Evil Geniuses mousepad!
Gotta google a bit to see if I can get me one! :D
|
thank god they are giving us a map break down cause no one has ever played these super secret maps.
|
lol ... is it just me or is day9 looking a little different today? like kermit the frog?
EDIT: woooooh ... serious sharpening involved there
|
its starting !!!!!! cant believe it !!!!! only 2hours late
|
This map preview is awesome, and her voice is nice.
|
OMG I almost didn't recognize him....
|
Is it just me or is the stream a MUCH worse quality this time?
|
woah does the ingame look like a comic book to anyone else? or is that the actual quality i'm assuming something they were trying to fix but couldn't in the end?
|
WTF is up with the photoshop CARTOON filter ...... holy shit
|
Can't maximize in firefox. =( Guess I'll have to use IE.
Also, brackets are fixed. Yay!
|
I didn't realize Standard Quality meant Low Quality.
|
its not a cartoon filter ... its sharpening enhancing the micro contrast ... low amouts of sharpening are awesome looking but this is over the top by far
|

And the strategy is... if the quality is so bad people who actually want to see what is going on will spend $10.

Obviously MLG has run into some trouble with this stream. Judging by the quality they're trying something different from last time and it isn't working out too well.
Once they notice I'm sure they'll make changes.
|
I spent the $10 and HD does not work says signed in successfully but plays normal stream with the "Upgrade to HD" button still there so I would not bother with that either.
|
sound is not from the view we are seeing
|
:C i hope they figure it out soon this is really hurting my eyes
|
OK so I switched from FF to IE (ew) and I managed to sign in and stay signed in but the quality is still pretty poor, it looks like some one put a bad sharp filter on.
|
|
Is it me or is JP just repeating what Day9 is saying?
|
good game ret !!! tell them to fix the stream !!! i know you read this
|
there's nothing to figure out ... it is intentional ... probably to enhance the "real video" part and adjusted while the casters where on camera but they have probably forgotten the effect it has on the ingame footage ... to clarify things for the non-media designers or what ever ... if you lower the size of a picture f..e. you loose sharpness and clarity ... you can compensate this by boosting the micro contrast which is called sharpening ... looks awesome and crisp when done right ... tends to look horrible when overdone ...
pictures: regular screenshot resized to 500xX ... left pic is unsharpened (blurry) ... middle has a little sharpening ... right is MLG ^^ link

Tyler after his ro64 win: "I had 2 gates, he had 4, and I just rushed him." Fighting!

I must say Idra- Incontrol- Orb.. white pasty skinny nerds sandwich incontrol, damn he is so huge haha. He's awesome, i hope incontrol does really well.

MLG stream, now loading... it's been a thrilling last 3 hours.

The commentary is so f'ing good. Day9 and DJ should be casting every US event.

Such an awesome game!!!
Spoiler alert!! Idra Vs. Lastshadow + Show Spoiler +Ahh, i feared for MLG DC if Idra lost to that 2rax proxy cheese. The rage would've been uncontrollable. Sick defense by Idra.
|
wh is it only showing me halo 3?
|
Guys,
We are working out the technical difficulties, the internet is DC is a bit wonky. If you are seeing Halo3 on your stream just clear your cache and it should be ok.

What about the actual quality of the SC2 stream? Right now, an interview with InControl and JP is showing and this is fine, but the actual footage from in-game is really, really bad. It looks like its being captured through a camcorder and then over-sharpened
|
wheat and day9 are amazinggggggg together!!!
|
sorry for asking because i have not seen any update on it! did incontrol lose to KawaiiRice?
|
he is in the losers bracket so the rest you can figure out yourself :|
|
This makes GSL's freestream look like 1080p.
|
|
Amazing play by Incontrol, and all of the winners casted so far. Very, very fun casts so far!
Definitely going to have to try that build from game 1 Incontrol v Machine against hatch first players!
|
half a screen i seem to get :s
|
|
Even after the upgrade... it still seems extremly grainy for a 2.2mb stream... something else might be going on. I'm on a 20mb pipe so I am def getting it full power.
|
Can u fix the sharpness settings on the freestream? I cant see anything! I know its hard to motivate you guys to fix the free service. But this is borderline unwatchable!
|
Rben, appreciate the increase in bitrate but it looks like the problem is somewhere around how you are recording from the Observer PC. The feed seems like it might be overly filtered / processed too
|
HD is definitely better. It looks so much better. Thanks.
It's not very grainy at all, but some grain should be expected since its live and you'll probably encounter spikes, which causes grain.
|
It is def far too filtered or something... cause its constant grainytness.... not spikes...
|
I;m almost 100% its the sharpness setting set to high
|
You know what would be amusing? If the increased bitrate is causing the lag Huk and Gretorp are getting in their game right now 
I'm 99% sure that's not the case but still
|
Hey is it just me or does HuK look a little like Antonio Sabato (Earth 2 / Melrose Place) when he's looking at his monitor?
|
on another note
game 2 was epic Huk vs Gretorp
|
|
WOW whitera v Kiwikaki just trumped Huk vs gretorp
|
NOW that was an epic game holy shizzle
|
No pics of Select??! Thanks for the other pics tho! Idra looks so happy hahaha. Anyhow, Select fighting!! Last best hope in gaming for the Asians!!
|
What the helicopter, Kiwikaki, what the helicopter. Talk about hero hold mode.
|
Gogo Tyler! I hope they cast game 3 of Tyler vs SeleCT
|
Hellions in base vs 2gate sounds like GG. Hope Tyler can pull it through.
|
|
|
qxc IdrA rematch tomorrow. Interesting.
|

I'm pretty sure those pictures are R1CH's. He seems to know quite a bit about photography and has been doing a pretty good job snapping shots all over the place.

We need more pictures, damnit!

If Day9 and DJWheat looked at me like that I would run for my life and for the safety of my rear end. It's a shame the stream is on so late here in the uk, I tried staying up for the start but beer got the better of me and I fell asleep. Liquid fighting!! also happy IdrA fighting!!

Replays weren't released for the last MLG event, it seems unlikely they will be released this time.
Updated the live blog op with a small recap of today's action.
|
they said the replays would be up tomorrow
|
|
|
Come one red you can do it... I like that all the Liquid members still have a shot at winning MLG. I hope one of them can upset and defeat Idra, which will be very hard. He is sick good ^^
|
I have a question. In the losers bracket round 3 it says TorcH beat his opponent 2-1, but it's his opponent who advanced to round 4. Is that an error in the bracket, in the r3 result or did TorcH get disqualified because his hair is too imba? 
I'm really rooting for him, he was such a cool guy at the GSL, really liked his interviews and the shoutcasting with Tasteless..
|
If I missed the games and only have time to watch a few replays, which ones should I watch?
|
definetly whitera vs kiwikaki game 1 :D
|
When are vods being released definitely wanna see kiwi vs white-ra that game sounds EPIC... wish I could have watched it but busy this weekend.
From description sounds like one of the best pvp's to date.
|
United States12607 Posts
Guys, please stop asking for VODs and replays in this thread and instead do some searching around. You will find out pretty quickly that VODs may take a while to be released, but replays from Day 1 can be downloaded via "match info" on the official bracket.
I'm headed back out to the event around 13:00 today to watch the matches, meet some more TL peeps, and update the twitter feed. (There will be less to report on now that most of the matches are finished, so hopefully I can watch everything.)
Tyler / HuK / Ret fighting!

JWD thanks a ton for doing the updates!
Liquid Fighting!

Is anyone else getting a lot of pauses... like 5 seconds or so on the HD stream?

i have gained respect for select in the 6th game where he did an amazing job to win by better micro. He is really good wow, never really noticed him but he has both great macro and great micro.

Its about the amount of agression he can put on while keeping up macro, microing those units in 3 locations at once, and not losing everything. Thats about what it takes to kill a toss with a handful of colossus XD

Thanks so much. Can't wait to watch.
Edit: which replays that are up are worth watching?

So my parents drug me away in the middle of Tyler-Select. Any chance of a rebroadcast like last time? Or have I missed that already?

Yeah I asked him about it, he said that since his keyboard is a PS/2 he had to use Tasteless's keyboard, who bought a black/white one and yanked out the keys individually hahaha, it looks so awesome though.
He also says thats the samsung keyboard every korean uses since they'rel ike, less than 10 bucks each
