Liquibition is finally back in action. In the poll you all were given a choice of what style you wanted Liquibition to be run with. The vast majority of you said you wanted the winner to stay until he loses. Well, being the asshole that I am, I will totally ignore that poll. The new format is going to be the winner can stay until a maximum of 5 match wins. Also, the Team Liquid Staff will be choosing the opponents for the winners of previous rounds. But we'll still try to give them opponents that they have some sort of rivalry with and opponents that we know will give them a fight. The people who manage to win 5 matches in a row (if any) will be put into a Hall of Fame. Perhaps if 4 people get into that Hall of Fame there could be a "Team Liquid King of Kings Tournament." But that is all in the far future...on with the present.
In one corner we have the French Fandango, Elky, and in the other corner we have the Boisterous Bulgarian, Beast. At WCG last year, Elky and Beast were both in the same round robin group. Beast managed to beat Elky in the round robin. After all the games were finished, Giyom was in 1st place and Elky/Beast/Wizard were tied for 2nd. In the tiebreaker games Elky defeated Beast, meaning Elky advanced while Beast got a lovely VIP spectator seat. If you like back and forth action packed games, I cordially apologize. If you’re a fan of excessive use of explosives, this best-of-7 match might just intrigue you.
Game 1
Map: The Lost Temple
The Game: Terran vs. Terran (as are all the games in this series) Elky started at 3, Beast at 12. This wasn’t much of a game. They both did 2 fact openings, with Beast forgetting his 2nd depot for a long time which put him behind and put him in the “How the !@#$ am I supposed to beat Elky when I forget my depot” mindset. Elky harassed Beast with vultures and used mines very well (he should have used ally mines, because we all know Beast has no problem with them). Beast fended the vulture onslaught off with Vult/Tank but Elky soon had a wraith and drops. Elky got his expand much faster and cliffed Beast rather easily. In a very short while Elky’s population was two times higher than Beast’s.
1-0 Elky
Game 2
Map: Neo Forbidden Zone
The Game: Elky started at 1, Beast at 10. They both did 2 fact/port/goliath builds. Elky opted to float his factories to the mainland while Beast kept them on his plateau. Elky expanded and so did Beast. Elky got the economic and tactical advantage early and took the map while Beast was struggling to survive. What Beast was thinking: “I can do this. I can win. I am a BEAST. Must…not…give…up.” *Elky’s eyes turn fiery red* “Muahahaahahahaha…” *Nuclear Launch Detected* *Nuclear Launch Detected* *Nuclear Launch Detected* Need I say more?
2-0 Kim Jung Elky
Game 3
Map: Plains to Hill
The Game: Elky started at 10, Beast at 4. They both did a 2 fact opening again. This time Beast went all tanks and turrets while Elky went goliaths but then switched to 2 port wraiths. Elky’s intuitive adaptation worked perfectly as he beat back Beast’s tanks and killed some SCV’s in Beast’s main as Beast scrambled to make turrets. While Elky was attacking Beast’s main, Beast took Elky’s natural ledge with tanks/turrets to contain him. This didn’t stop Elky as he powered like a maniac and took the islands and other bases while Beast merely had Elky’s natural as his expansion. *Nuclear Launch Detected*
3-0 Kim Jung Elky
Game 4
Map: Neo Bifrost
The Game: Elky started at 1, Beast at 7. Elky’s trademark barrack float block + marines behind minerals. “GG.”
4-0 Elky
Rekrul’s Rating of the games in this Match: 3 out of 10. The only reason they even got a 3 was because of the nukes.
Elky annihilated Beast with a gleaming smirk on his face. He is 3-0 now, defeating Crystal then Blackman in previous rounds. Can anyone stop this juggernaut? I don’t know who the next competitor is yet, but we’ll find one soon. Stay Tuned~
P.S. From Elky – “All foreigners suck, I would go 20-0 in Liquibition if you !@#$ers let me -_-”

I have them. 3*pvt @ LT. I will send them to you if you can upload them somewhere. Just tell me you e-mail.

Hehe,I did expect to lose badly,but not to play so terrible-forgetting supply 1st game,making the awfully stupid decision to lift my factories in the 2nd,to go wraiths instead of mass drops 3rd and most funny-not to put supply as a scout for floating rax,which I had done in every single TvT game on this map  .
Bah,such a rape ;(.
But this is for the better-now I know I've gotten much worse and will try to get gosu again  .
"Elky vs Beast a matchup? No disrespect to Beast, but isn't he no better than any average decent player?"
Elky wanted to play me because of his WCG loss...I think I WAS much better than the average decent player back then and also I had practised the WCG maps very much.
Now I almost haven't played after WCG and also haven't practised these maps much.I played Plains to Hill,Bifrost and Acheron TvT for the first time the same day.But I thought I hadn't gotten that bad and that I had some chanse...

Hey Rek,
How about the winner of 5 series plays Naz in a series for hall of fame..? That would be a cool way to resolve the best, yeah.
Sexibition.
|
btw - elky is so much fun to watch. let him play as much as possible in future series if he makes hall of fame
would you make boxer or yellow quit after 5 series? give the greatest skilled a chance to go on entertaining 
elky fricken owns, why bore us with anything less...
|
I watched the replays. Elky was on the TOP this 4 games ... showing the best of himself. GG Elky - I wanna see him so confident against Boxer too - I am sure with such good play he will win...
-Zaks
p.s. Beast dont worry - we all know u are much more than an average decent player...

I think Testie v Elky would be a good matchup, but I don't know about the level of "rivalry" you're looking for. No, Testie does not hack, as I'm sure you'd actually agree if you played with him any amount of games. Proposing Testie is in response to Elky's claim vs any foreigner 20-0. I think Testie has the capabilities to give him a run for his money :O GOGO Foreigners!! AFk watching USAvARG soccer game. Stupid diving Argentines are up 1-0. Some brilliant acting from them so far this game, the filthy divers -_-v
|
USA vs Arg? New match, a friendly? Just checked the channels, hopefully it is being tape delayed for the west coast.
