why you dont start the setup before T_T

I like both but i'm rooting for White-Ra.
A 25+ years old Ukrainian guy playing toss is just too special.
+ i like his style and he seems to be a really mannered and humble guy.
Go RA !
|
Hey just a Tought... for me the stream is lagging ( I always watch proleague on orange TV) maybe its because SC+Ventrilo+Livestream is to much... U could Turn the chat off maybe (its just spam)
|
i hope there will be the vods after the stream

The stream and casting is fantastic.
Thanks guys.

Recap of series in 3 words or less:
Dinot makes zerglings.

the replays are out :O check the highlander thread in the news,.

ughh so hard.. Falcons game or this.. UGH.. time to watch both.
|
gg 1-1 !!!!!!!! good job ra !!! :D
|
Probe say Hi !! and wite-ra win :D
|
Whoever's observing, please try to always have a unit/building selected to show what's going on, esp. units in battle so we know for example... how close a corsair is to death or what not, and so the space is not wasted at all. thank you.
|
Idk, 1000 bucks or beta key... do first place get a beta key as well ? :O
|
QUESTION... who is the favorite to win ?
and who do each of the casters prefer themselves ?
|

HI PLEXA/INC
Something to try maybe? <_<....it could be fun if you guys tried to predict the game before the game gets going...just as a for kicks thing like calling cheese or whatever.
:O
Also the casting is great of course.
|
Hey, you commentators are suggesting a lot that protoss seems unbalanced vs a zerg. Am I getting the wrong message here? If so, how do you explain protoss getting schooled by Zerg this season?
|
incontrol, would you let idra play in the next tournament you host?
|
incontrol get up your headset and switch off boxes.
you create feedbacks all the time
|
Good casting and enjoyable games. Nice audience as well, 750 users. ^_^
And tx Kentor for making the stream "no chat". Saves a lot of people a lot of annoyance.

stream doesnt need to be no chat, you just go too http://c.zeroboy.net/ and the chat is gone...
|
who did inc say he kicked out of a tourney? i missed that ..
nevermind.. i figure its idra from the above question.
|
iNc, I would think that nearly everyone would agree that currently the best foreigner terran is Idra, whereas the best toss/zerg is a little more ambiguous. Which two foreigners do you think are the best toss/zerg players right now? Do you think Dinot and White Ra are the best since they made it to the finals of the highlander tourney? Or do you have a different opinion on who is the best?
|
i believe he kicked out Arew.. Idra just lost.
|
Seems like White_Ra is the general superior player from this game.
|
jusy enjoy the game. white ra so gosu
|
Well I just hope that Vods will be release (I know the replays will be out but I love the casting)...
My internet is sucking right now...
Thx Incontrol, Plexa and Kentor =D
|
vods will be great, since Im missing so much due to Falcons football.. Missed whole game 2 =[

Wow great game!
I'm so excited for replays...thanks for releasing them haha
|
watching right now this is sweet, thanks a ton guys.
|
wow.
dinot is crazy with lings
|

So unlucky
|
JAedong DIDNT 5 pool.. he 4 pooled.. And the commentators are talking as if cheese=bad, which is not true. Its part of the strategy that is starcraft and especially a best of series... ESPecially a best of 7!
|
Dinot had hundreds of lings
|
1k $$ i would go allin lings whole series
|
oh the final is bo7, thats cool news
gl zergosh
|
looooove dinot, i wanted t see a slowdrop build but i guess that worked just fine
|
Game four
Delicious zergling cheese by DinoT

even though they already mentioned it, what are you talking about, not even once did they even remotely make it sound like cheese was a bad thing
|
lol at what Inc said .. ..
by the way.. I love the commentating.. awsome work guys
|
why are south american zerg players always doing ling allins?
|
White-Ra must have been pissed after losing that last game.
There's really no reason to lose like that. He knew he was ahead in economy and wasn't really doing much either. He had plenty of time to scout that.
|
After the 4-pool was mentioned, did Incontrol say something like: ''Next time they play Fantasy is gonna do something safe like walling in''. If so; lolololol. :D Yeah, his wall in in game 4 was really safe.
|
|
|
this is actually a great series.. really back and forth

White-ra intentionally hid half his zealots so dinot would try to break him with his hydra-bust. Supernice. Game on Garden of God.
|
Ugh, those storms on Dinot's mutas.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh my god!!!! I cried when DinoT's mutas died.
|
Noooo DinoT's mutas > he could have stopped that push with those!!

This has been shaping up to be such a great series.
Not only has there been amazing early game play, but also some absolutely insane late games. And the level of strategic depth shown is just brilliant. Inc and Plexa also do a great job commentating on the games. I've really been enjoying these last few hours.
|
Ok, question: I don't really understand how the hydra's being away have anything to do with the muta's being too late to snipe the templar?
|
Why the fuck was Neo Forte included in the map pool?
|
incontrol r u going to blizzcon?
|
Awesome series and cast thus far guys. Thanks <3
|
i have a question : is this kind of tournament going to be played again ? cuz i think that with some additional hype , this would be a very big tournament ;]
go go go Highlander 2 !!!

This is so over
God I hate LT ;/

Wow! Such an old school game.
12 v 3 PvZ is such a nostalgic match up for me
|
aaaand White-Ra wins !!! :D great job !
|
Gratz White-Ra. Oldschool last game. 
I still get nightmares of 2 gate rushes on LT. -__-
|
White-ra 4-2 Dinot
White-ra wins 1000 dollars.

Grats to White-ra! Good games.
Thanks to Inc, the players, and everyone else. Great tournament which didn't get the attention it deserved!
|
Congratulations to White-Ra! A well deserved win.
Thanks to Incontrol and co for organizing this!
|
|
|
Nice job White-Ra! He's such an awesome guy it's great to see him take this prize money down.

vod is available in the on demand section of http://tv.zeroboy.net/ or http://livestream.com/orange_tv under "highlander finals." incontrol and plexa were very good and funny. watch!
skip to 26:40 for the first game.
downloaded the vod for editing but it has no sound and it's a weird format :s
|
Great work guys and great games too! I really enjoyed the commentary also, especially some of your analogies Inc ("the zerglings are streaming towards his base like a fleet of viking ships towards a village of children" was a standout one for me, as well as "if you're not familiar with Reavers, they're like caterpillars, but they shoot things, so they're completely different really". Nice), but I just thought the overall analysis of the games was very interesting and insightful.
I also very much agree with your point about targeting the probes mining gas during harassment. Man, the amount of times I forgot to put probes back on gas in my earlier games is no joke.
Thanks for organizing this Plexa and iNcontroL. Also thanks to Kentor and LZ for the streaming also.
GGs.

Well played by White-Ra, great so see him taking this tournament!
Thanks to incontrol and all participants, really appreciating your effort!
When is the winner of the Bracket Contest going to be announced, or has he already been announced? Are the winning predictions going to be posted? I picked Ra so I'm curious
|
Just how is Dinot a top-level foreigner ZERG player with only 180 apm? Some games he manages to barely break 200, others he falls into the 170s.
HOW???@!!!!!

Good macro, and good decisions (generally).
I'm glad my favorite foreigner won.

Thats the second story about White-rA that melted my little nerd heart *blowing in a knapkin*
Replays, great players, live casting.. what more could a nerd ask for? Great tourney and congrats to the winner!

We can ask the same things about sAviOr right? His apm was not that high either. But APM does not matter AS much. The decisions that he makes is what makes him a great player.

Because he isn't terran.
Gratz to white-ra. Would of been fun to see him play Idra however. Oh well.

Just watched the replays. Amazing games. Well played by both players and Congrats to White-Ra!!!
Thanks a lot for all the hard work Incontrol

iloveoov was pretty slow compared to other top players during his dominance, and so was Savior. Stork is also a player that isn't that fast, and he boasted one of the best PvTs and a solid PvP for a while.

Really nice tournament, I enjoyed watching last night's cast.
Props to Incotrol and Plexa for organizing and congrats to White-ra for taking the 1000 bucks.

i am also getting the same thing on one of my computers but not the other. i recorded with a codec that is still in beta with the flash player so i guess it doesnt work for every body... i dunno how to fix though :\
edit: I uploaded to filefront: http://www.filefront.com/14328331/highlander finals.mp4
it's in a really weird format and it works when I open with daum but not VLC
