Koreans Rock Again, but Slightly Less So

For once, the story of the first day at MLG is not about how the Koreans crushed through the foreign competition. Instead, it is about triumph from outside the system of the GSL, with both NesTea and Mvp being knocked into the lower bracket tonight by DeMuslim and Ret, respectively.

Even so, the later stages of the upper bracket are already filled with the obvious favorites. Leenock, Oz, viOlet, and MarineKing all made it through their matches. Three of the four upper bracket Ro8 matches are Korean-vs-Korean, a strong display for anyone confused as to where the strongest talent is.

One small surprise was PartinG's triumph over DongRaeGu. After being thoroughly humiliated last week in the GSL quarter-finals it seemed as if DRG would have an easy path to the upper bracket Ro8. The first game went as planned with DRG showing up the Protoss in every regard, but in the second and third games PartinG played them out much more solidly and took home the series win.

Perhaps all too predictably, the biggest loser today were the Americans themselves. Sheth, Idra, Axslav, and Minigun all find themselves fighting in the loser's bracket after a single match. The story gets even worse if the umbrella is widened to include all of North America, adding dde, Ddoro, and Drewbie to the list, leaving Huk as the only representative of the continent to come through in his games.

Day One Update Log
+ Show Spoiler [Update Log] +

05:33 GMT (+00:00): MC 2 - 0 TheStC. MC cleaned out TheStC's SCVs as TheStC went on the offensive, putting the pressure on TheStC to do as much damage in return. However, TheStC just couldn't get the job done, and MC won the series.

05:27 GMT (+00:00): Ret 2 - 1 Mvp. After a long game on Daybreak, the game turned into a base trade where Ret won on both ends. He defended his home base easily, while inflicting a massive amount of damage to Mvp, winning the game.

05:24 GMT (+00:00): DongRaeGu 1 – 2 PartinG. DRG 6 pools. PartinG holds with a cannon, sneaks a pylon into DRG's main and kills him with a handful of warped in zealots.

05:19 GMT (+00:00): MC 1 - 0 TheStC. MC followed a sweet colossus fake into a strong templar based army, covering TheStC with storms and forcing the GG.

05:14 GMT (+00:00): DongRaeGu 1 – 1 PartinG. PartinG opens with 3 void rays after FE. Unlike when he did it in GSL, he waited to show them until he was in DRG's base and the Zerg main didn't take long to destroy.

05:05 GMT (+00:00): Mvp 1 - 1 Ret. Ret went for the roach-bane bust early on, doing a decent amount of damage but not ending the game. The game progressed to a later phase, where Ret tried the bust at a much more massive scale, with speed roaches and speed banes. Mvp help this attack off quite easily, and Ret GG'd out of the game.

05:05 GMT (+00:00): MarineKing 2 - 0 NaNiwa. MarineKing plays a normal bio midgame, NaNiwa tries to harass him with DTs and they don't do enough. MKP rolls through the weakened Protoss army.

04:51 GMT (+00:00): DongRaeGu 1 - 0 PartinG. DRG overwhelms parting by keeping him busy at his third and natural while filling the map with creep and hatcheries.

04:51 GMT (+00:00): MarineKing 1 - 0 NaNiwa. MarineKing gets a fast third orbital while NaNiwa techs heavy on 2 base. Nani is unable to deny MKP's third from going down and dies to a stream of MMM.

04:48 GMT (+00:00): Ret 1 - 0 Mvp, viOLet 2 - 0 SjoW. Zerg brothers in arms! Ret had a few scary moments when his third was being pressured hard by Mvp, but he recovered and let his economy kick in. After that, relentless waves of mutas and double-lings were too much for Mvp, who GG'd out. As for viOLet, he was in control all game, staving off SjoW's attacks and build up his own muta-ling-bane mass to take down the Swedish Terran.

04:38 GMT (+00:00): Oz 2 - 1 DeMuslim. Oz begins with a quick third, and DeMuslim plays a very heavy two-base game. Oz holds off all of DeMuslim's aggression with incredible forcefields and DeMuslim taps out.

04:30 GMT (+00:00): viOLet 1 - 0 SjoW. viOLet pounded SjoW's first big marine/medivac/tank advance, and that was it. He had a lot of troops left over, added a ton more banes, and went in for the kill.

04:22 GMT (+00:00): Oz 1 - 1 DeMuslim. DeMuslim opens with 4-rax and a starport, then later all-ins with all of his SCVs. Oz holds barely, techs up during a long constant micro battle and eventually overwhelms the Terran.

04:20 GMT (+00:00): Leenock 2 - 1 ThorZain. ThorZain mechs, but this time Leenock is able to drive the army back with brood lords and roaches and takes the series.

04:05 GMT (+00:00): Oz 0 - 1 DeMuslim. Oz goes for a quick third base, and DeMuslim's first marine-marauder-medic army does a ton of damage before more gateways are up, and he pummels him to death from there.

04:02 GMT (+00:00): Leenock 1 – 1 ThorZain. Leenock busts ThorZain's natural with early roach aggression, then finishes him off with lings and banelings.

04:00 GMT (+00:00): Winners round one is complete!

03:57 GMT (+00:00): HuK 2 - 0 Socke, TheStC 2 - 0 Drewbie. Old oGs-TL housemates synchronizing their victories! HuK slipped some hidden pylons into Socke's base, which made his 4-gate an auto-win. As for TheStC, he countered Drewbie's fast expansion with a fast double expansion, and won the game by trading his third base for Drewbie's second.

03:50 GMT (+00:00): Leenock 0 - 1 ThorZain. ThorZain mechs once again, they split the map and ThorZain wins with a huge thor/viking army after Leenock takes a few bad fights with broodlords.

03:48 GMT (+00:00): HuK 1 - 0 Socke. HuK hit a nice gateway attack while Socke was trying to tech too quickly. The damage snowballed out of control, and HuK took the game.

03:43 GMT (+00:00): TheStC 1 - 0 Drewbie. 1/1/1, not just for TvP! StC's great micro and timing allowed him to easily punish and defeat Drewbie's regular fast expant build.

03:42 GMT (+00:00): Socke and HuK starting up!

03:36 GMT (+00:00): Matches starting up again. ThorZaIN vs Leenock and Drewbie vs TheStC.

03:24 GMT (+00:00): MC 2 - 0 Merz. MC was allowed to hulk up after taking three bases, and carpeted everything Merz had to secure the victory.

03:08 GMT (+00:00): MC 1 - 0 Merz. Nothing special, MC massed some gateway units and colossi off two bases, and attacked. Then Merz just kinda died. Oh well.

03:08 GMT (+00:00): Ret 2 - 1 SaSe. SaSe takes an early third, Ret pressures and kills it with roaches and SaSe GGs when he sees ret has burrow and is attacking his nat.

03:00 GMT (+00:00): Parting 2 - 1 Pomi. Tal'Darim Altar. Who's better at microing zealots and stalkers? Parting, I guess!

02:59 GMT (+00:00): DongRaeGu 2 - 1 GanZi. GanZi opens very fast 3 cc, DRG makes roaches and banelings, busts his wall, and kills him.

02:53 GMT (+00:00): Ret 1 - 1 SaSe. Ret counters repeatedly when SaSe's army moves out onto the map to stop Zerg expos. He holds SaSe to 2 bases and overpowers him.

02:49 GMT (+00:00): Pomi 1 - 1 Parting. Pomi's warp-prism play brought about another base trade scenario between the two Protoss players, but this time he got the better end of the exchange.

02:47 GMT (+00:00): DongRaeGu 1 - 1 GanZi. DRG tries a roach-ling-baneling allin, GanZi holds and wins with a counter.

02:44 GMT (+00:00): Mvp 2 - 0 San. San opened with some blink pressure, but was left playing follow up after he failed to do much damage. Mvp then hit a great counter-attack timing as San tried to tech up to too many things at once, and took the series.

02:38 GMT (+00:00): Ret 0 - 1 SaSe. After losing much of his army in his first push and losing many probes to muta harass, SaSe builds up a sizeable army and takes on Ret's army directly and crushes it. From there he kills expos until Ret has no more.

02:34 GMT (+00:00): DongRaeGu 1 - 0 GanZi. DongRaeGu plays a smart infestor-ling style, sniping GanZi's natural and being annoying with infested terrans. GanZi takes out some expansions but not before he mines out and runs out of steam.

02:31 GMT (+00:00): Mvp 1 - 0 San, Parting 1 - 0 Pomi. Two matches that finished almost exactly together. San went for a two base colossus timing against Mvp's fast triple orbital build, but failed to kill Mvp off. He GG'd out after he realized he was at a massive economic disadvantage. In the other game, Parting and Pomi had an interesting base trade scenario, but Parting's blink stalkers ended up being a bit better than Pomi's less mobile colossi and immortals.

02:22 GMT (+00:00): Time for more games. Mvp vs San, and Parting vs Pomi.

02:05 GMT (+00:00): ThorZain 2 - 0 Sheth. ThorZain pressures with marines and tanks and repeatedly kill Sheth's expos while he secures his own.

02:02 GMT (+00:00): Leenock 2 - 1 dde. Alas, Leenock got his groove back. After thwarting dde's marauder-hellion pressure, Leenock went for a quick finish with a ton of speedlings and speedbanes.

01:49 GMT (+00:00): dde 1 - 1 Leenock. dde looked much better in the second game, thwarting Leenock's plan to go for a bust with an early tank, and building on a strong macro base to take down the MLG Providence champion.

01:39 GMT (+00:00): ThorZain 1 - 0 Sheth. True Spoon-Terran style, ThorZain mechs and patiently takes the map while pushing out to choke Sheth to death.

01:37 GMT (+00:00): Leenock 1 - 0 dde, Violet 2 - 1 Axslav. Leenock took down dde in a predictable one-sided affair, while Axslav put up a good fight against Violet before ultimately falling to brood lords.

01:35 GMT (+00:00): DeMuslim 2 - 1 Nestea. DeMuslim mechs after 2 proxy rax. They split the map, trade repeatedly for half an hour, and DeMuslim comes out on top after some good fights.

01:25 GMT (+00:00) Leenock vs dde begins!

01:11 GMT (+00:00): viOLet 1 - 1 Axslav. viOLet came back from being quite far behind, having allowed Axslav to take one half of Metalopolis and donating a ton of troops in failed attacks. However, viOLet survived long enough to put together a death army of a dozen brood lords supported by a dozen infestors, and used that to slowly but surely erase Axslav's advantage and take the game.

01:08 GMT (+00:00): Leenock vs dde and Sheth vs ThorZaIN coming up!

01:05 GMT (+00:00). NesTea 1 - 1 DeMuslim. NesTea deflects early attempts at aggression, takes control of the map with mutas and then rolls over DeMuslim when he catches the tanks unseiged with a large baneling-muta army.

01:03 GMT (+00:00): Oz 2 - 1 Idra. Idra tries an attack with hydra-roach as Oz was making his third, and is repelled just barely. Idra GGs before Oz even leaves his base to counter.

01:02 GMT (+00:00): Naniwa 2 - 1 Grubby. NaNiwa decided to try for a faster expansion with his blink stalkers, while Grubby stayed on one base to try and make NaNiwa pay. NaNiwa's defense was up to the task, and he won with his resource advantage once it kicked in.

00:47 GMT (+00:00): Oz 1 - 1 Idra. Oz tries to cannon Idra's third, loses a lot of stuff without doing much damage. Idra counters with roaches and kills him.

00:47 GMT (+00:00): Grubby 1 - 1 NaNiwa. After losing the first game, Grubby came back with some sweet mid-game DT usage.

00:44 GMT (+00:00): Axslav 1 - 0 viOLet. Axslav looked extremely solid as he slowly secured bases and built up a deathball on Antiga Shipyard. It didn't help viOLet that he never tried to go for infestors or brood lords.

00:43 GMT (+00:00): NesTea 0 - 1 DeMuslim. Very even all game, NesTea harassing with mutas and DeMuslim harassing with marine drops and denying expansions with small groups. Turning point comes when DeMuslim takes out morphing brood lords at NesTea's nat with his marine-tank-thor army.

00:37 GMT (+00:00): Oz 1 - 0 Idra. Idra gains big lead in the midgame with a muta switch, but Oz gets to 3 attack on his units and wins with a huge blink stalker-immortal push on 3 bases while Idra is behind on upgrades.

00:34 GMT (+00:00): NaNiwa 1 - 0 Grubby. Blink stalkers vs blink stalkers - and NaNiwa had the better micro.

00:27 GMT (+00:00): The next round of games begin! Grubby vs NaNiwa, Axslav vs viOLet, Nestea vs DeMusliM, and IdrA vs Oz.

00:07 GMT (+00:00): MarineKing 2 - 1 Losira. Losira goes for a ling-infestor style but MarineKing takes an early third and denies all attempts at aggression. Aggressive drops press his advantage and he overwhelms with marines and tanks.

23:57 GMT (+00:00): HuK 2 - 1 MiniGun. Huk opens with a stargate instead of a robotics, and wins after prolonged micro-war where he kills an expansion while taking his own.

23:54 GMT (+00:00): SjoW 2 - 0 HayprO. SjoW outslugs HayprO in a very scrappy, very close game on Metalopolis. They base-traded, stabilized, and reset. Then they did it again! SjoW just proved to have a little more in the tank as the game went on, and it was enough for the victory.

23:49 GMT (+00:00): MarineKing 1 - 1 Losira. Losira makes mutas in the midgame and maintains economic lead after gaining map control. Wins in endgame with brood lord-infestor after defending drops and trading blows at expansions.

23:48 GMT (+00:00): Grubby vs NaNiwa Soon! Meanwhile, SjoW and HayprO haven't finished playing this ridiculously epic game on Metal.

23:44 GMT (+00:00): HuK 1 - 1 MiniGun. This time it is Huk who takes the expansion first, and after killing Minigun's expansion right as his own starts running he takes an easy victory.

23:29 GMT (+00:00): HuK 0 - 1 MiniGun. Minigun gets the first expansion while Huk opens blink stalkers, and later makes DTs while Minigun starts building colossus. Minigun keeps colossus lead all game and rolls over Huk.

23:27 GMT (+00:00): Socke 2 - 0 Ddoro. A bit typical. Socke wins a deathball fight on Daybreak after both players macro off three bases.

23:20 GMT (+00:00): SjoW 1 - 0 HayprO. A long game on Daybreak ends after continued battles where HayprO is just too inefficient, and lets SjoW slowly snowball his advantages.

23:20 GMT (+00:00): MarineKing 1 – 0 Losira. Predictably sloppy game on both sides, they traded marines for banelings and later infestors until Losira ran out of steam first.

23:10 GMT (+00:00):. Huk vs Minigun and Losira vs MarineKing starting.

23:08 GMT (+00:00): Socke 1 - 0 Ddoro: Well, that was fast. Socke went blink and Ddoro went Stargate, but the game ended before any of that high tech mattered, with Socke turning some early pressure into a game winning attack.

23:05 GMT (+00:00): Losira vs MKP on Dual Sight, SjoW vs HayprO on Daybreak also starting up.

23:04 GMT (+00:00): Ddoro vs Socke starting up on Shakuras Plateau, first match to start!

22:00 GMT (+00:00): Just chillin'

22:30 GMT (+00:00): Whoo, pre-game show ^_^;

They stated in their FAQ, that every first match every day and on every stream will be watchable for everyone... after the first games there should be no more free streams.

You get 1 hour free coverage. SO one game, except the streams right now are amazing. IMO worth $20.. (And this is coming from someone who wasn't going to buy this earlier).

Wow MLG must think they really have a great product if they're not even allowing free live stream. Even GSL the top league in the world has a free live stream. So glad i'm not supporting a money grubbing league that is completely selling out the community. Really makes me not want to support or watch mlg in any shape or form. It's lower quality play for more money. I hope MLG fails and reconsiders after this weekend because at this point i think everyone including myself is hoping for them to fail.

but surely theres a missed oppertunity here cos they have the worlds best 32 players in 1 building... i would definatly have paid up to say 50 dollars to go watch it live so surely if they held even this in an arena they could have made sum muni instead of relying on 20 doller internet streams..

Even if only 100 people turned up, surely a crowd of 100 is better than a silent room

Rich hacked the blue prints for the redesign before they began constuction to include a TL-only station. This went unnoticed because he used visual basic to create a GUI interface which made the revision invisible without enhancing.

This is not the thread to be bitching about the paywall. It's MLG's product and they can do with it whatever the fuck they want. It's dumb, yes, but they are allowed to be dumb.

What I really wanted to say is WTH is up with that pic of Naniwa on the front page that links to this thread? It's a really bad pic/scary looking of Naniwa, too much teeth!

great, so watched Losira v MKP thinking I'd got it wrong and they were putting on a free stream after all, staying up late when I have work tomorrow to watch Demu play. And then we get cut off -___-. Defintiely would have been willing to pay $5 or $10, but yeah $20 is just ridiculous, and as mentioned noone in Europe is gonna be interested. It's sad cause the production looks really good, and I'd have been happy to pay $5 for just the one stream. Really hope they realise what a mistake they're making - I hope MLG doesn't fail as an organisation but I hope their pricing model does.

20 bucks?
Well, MLG, the only tournament I actually watched (haven't missed one) is officially met it's end in Europe.
Seriously, 1/3 of full retail price of a full game, only to watch one tournament?
It's god damn ridiculous.

Anyway, the whole idea of a tournament to watch is the crowd cheering, the whistles, the "aaaaaw" sounds, everything that live audience provides on every sport there is. Even when I watch it in my house, my adrenaline goes way up when the crownd goes wild, it's like in a movies watching a comedy. The more people laugh, the more you laugh with them.
I don't get the decision. They're kinda slowly killing e-sports that way.
Well, maybe not the e-sports as a whole, but as someone said earlier - there is no way for new blood to pay that kind of money for something they are not sure if they'd like.
E-sports are too young for a move like overpricing anything.

Mine lags quite often, but since I am doing the quad view anyway on a 1080 TV I have just accepted it and going to 480p main and 240p small windows. I have no idea what is causing it, I tried some NASL videos and they seem fine. The laptop hooked to the TV is an i7 6 or 8GB RAM (forget which - either way enough) with an some ATI CAD card with 2GB of VRAM. Who knows.

It is fine for now, but for say the finals where I would want just 1 1080 window, I hope it is resolved.

Just in case any MLG staff read this, I'd like to express my disappointment with Gold Membership users not receiving the Winter Arena for free, or at the very least, 50% - 75% off. At the time I bought a Gold Membership it was basically advertised as "You get everything!" so I was fairly disappointed to come home today and find out "everything" only included a $5 discount on the "Arena" packages. Yes, I read that Arena packages weren't included, I know, but it still seems kind of crappy.

Demuslim vs Nestea to me was worth the $20 alone, Im a gold member so I only paid $15 and thats a steal for the quality im getting. stream is BEAUTIFUL. No game has been "Meh" so far from what I have watched some damn good matches. Ive only got lag when running quad view in 1080p but my pc aint a beast so I think its my end, when I drop to 1 stream at 1080p its fine no hicups. GG MLG. I would buy again in a heartbeat if this is just the start of things.

I know there's probably more fine print that we don't all know about, but it seems that to take a huge stand against the program and it's price, refuse to link it, but then write a ton of great copy that basically serves as free advertising for MLG is a bit counter-productive.

I know there's more to it, but seems that TL could have made a ton off this referral program because lord knows that after reading/watching the great content on TL today I may just breakdown and buy the PPV to see the great matches. It's just a shame TL can't see a slice of that from me (although I ordered a "Spirit" t-shirt so I guess that's how they got me!).

Okay why is Huk not in the day 2 scene at all? He won all his games....

Wow nvm looked at the ASUS tourney and completely got mixed up. I think Huk is advancing to winners bracket right?

Oh goodness, North America, that's sad to hear that only HuK was able to make it through his games. Good on EU though, standin' up to some of the Koreans. Well, this is only one of the first big events of 2012 for the foreigner scene, so hopefully they can really buckle down with their practices and improve their tournament scoring. Lookin' forward to the results of tomorrow's games c:

MLG didn't pay TL.net to advertise for their PPV tournament so TL.net decided not to advertise for them.
