Tasteless began his career with WCG USA Finals in 2005, and casted several other live events throughout the United States. In 2008, he became the first English-only caster to move to Korea, covering all seasons of GomTV's TG-Intel Classic and the WCG Grand Finals from 2005 to this year.

That's a big prize for just 4th place.

Just a small typo, its the Ro4, not Ro8
|
All the possible matchups are mouthwatering - great stuff.

it said winners, meaning you have to win in this round to get 5k, ie second. Losers here dont get that much
|
price money left up for grabs:
1st -> 10k
2nd -> 5k
3rd -> 2.5k
4th -> 1k
so even the third/fourth place match has 1.5k riding on it :D

Wow, this is a 100% epic finals coming up. Nony has some serious momentum after killing the favorite to win the tourney.
|
|
|
|
|
JF for two consecutive TSLs.
Maintain the (championship) status quo!
|
Definitely cheering for Nony.

Good first post.
I'll be there cheering for JF again. Come on, buddy, I believe. Canada>America do it!
|
Can't decide.
too
difficult.
|
I cant decide between Nony or JF. I like them both and it would be fantastic if either won the whole tourney.
|
|
|
We gotta break up Chill and Day, I'd like to hear some race-related banter between the casters 
|
|
|
I'm pretty confident NonY has TSL won. A week ago I would've favored Sen over Mondragon but he didn't seem amazing or anything verse Ret so I actualy think Mondi will take it, at least I hope he will.
It would be really cool for Mondragon to win this even though Nony is a cool/great player as well. I'm really sad White-rA lost though. I would've loved a White-rA vs Mondragon finals because they are just the two giants of foreigner gaming who have been around for a long time.
|
Sick, can't wait for JF vs Nony, I think that both of their reavers are really good. I think Nony will win because he has better mechanics. I hope for Nony vs Sen in the finals, think those games would be great.
Nony fighting!!!!
|
for some reason i think JF will take his crown again just cause hes JF
|
Its Mondragon all the way guys!

Go Mondragon, it is all yours!
|
It will be hard, but Mondy will take it! I bet he needs ne money for his studies so he will fight as hell!

imo I think it'd be better to have the semis over 2 weeks rather than one weekend like the korean leagues
|
Jian Fei Fighting!
gogo iefnaij
|
If Mondi wins the zvz he is definitively the favorite in zvp.
|
I think its gonna be a pvz final, how about you guys?
|
does the prize money add up each round? or you just get the minimun earned when you leave?
|
|
|
GL Mondi. Too bad PvZ is the only MU i don't enjoy 
|
|
|
yay no Terrans.
Well at least we know we'll be seeing a PvZ finals lol
|
With White-Ra and Idra both eliminated I'm cheering for Mondragon. 
|
I'm really looking forward to this round :D Nony fighting!
|
I think ; Nony / Mondragon final, then anything can happen
|
I've never been more excited for mirror match-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
an absurd amount of money. congratulations for the final 4. Thank god i'll be able to watch them all live!
|
nony>jf
sen>mond
nony>sen
i hope at least ^_^
|
Ah so hard to make picks, I love all the players T_T
However I hope Mondi wins it overall for being so awesome about making infested terrans :D :D
|
|
|
Really interesting Ro4, I think
Mondragon > NonY
NonY > SEn
JF > Mondragon (just a gut feeling though)
SEn > JF
with all the semis being 50/50 really.
Anyway GO MONDRAGON!
|
I dont think nony's PVZ is up to par to beat a zerg finalist
|
I want JF to win again! :D
|
Only cool people are left It's gonna be hard, now, to root against somebody because I have to root against somebody I also like!
This is like Ret/Sen or JF/White-Ra all over again
|
i hope mondragon can do it..but sen is a great player too. other match, i really dont know but nony seems stronger then jf overall.
|
Great semi's imo. Kinda wish ret was there though.
Noooooonie all the way

...Winners get 5000 at least, meaning runner up gets 5k, third and fourth dont get 5k

Oh really... Because thats the only way it can possibly turn out
|
Will NonY have an answer to JF's reaver control?
Will JF make it back-to-back?
Do the Protosses have anymore tricks up their sleeve?
Will Mondi reclaim his former glory? The most dominant zerg of yesteryear.
Will Sen ling his way to victory?
Who's cuisine will reign supreme?
All this and more next week!
|
Go NonY! Blue Devils fighting!

whose going to cast the finals, all 4?

Good question. I would prefer Day[9] or Chill and Tasteless cos they represent the 2 finalist races.
|
Sooo tough to pick a winner!! Mondi is in such good form.
|
They should hold a poll vote to see which two of the four cast the finals. ^^ NonY r teh winz
|
Mondi won my respect in game 2 vs. Fenix. He's got my vote, even though I'm a hardcore American nationalist that loved to see Nony use his smarts to outplay the mechanical Idra. 
|
Tha battle of the Reebos!!! Go JF!!

Oh man, what a great round of 4. It's too hard to choose someone to root for. I'd be happy no matter who wins this because they're all great players who deserve it.

But when Day and Tasteless win it the lag will cause problems.
|
Hope Mondi wins it all!
I'm not sure how I would feel about JF taking first - conflicted probably, but Nony winning would be pretty cool.
|
lol that was some terrible acting :D
that just makes it funnier!
|

Or maybe a no-Nony no-Sen finals?
|
It feels like sc2 has stolen a little of the spotlight that tsl has hope people still are looking forward to this. I am really excited for zvp finals and i think its really up for grabs so it should be quite interesting.
|
Did Nony even practice for this since he's been playing sc2 non-stop
|
sorry for the stupid question but where is the link to the stream? or where will it be streamed? I can't find it :S
