Takes the crown in a epic Zerg vs Zerg final series that went a full 5 games! Game 1: Fighting Spirit - Kyle wins Game 2: Steppes of War - Kyle wins Game 3: Blistering Sands - Rai wins Game 4: Incineration Zone - Rai wins Game 5: Scrap Station - Kyle wins Replays should be posted within the next day or two! Along with the post-game interview that Kyle gave! Great set of games fellas and an excellent tournament. Would like to thank the Cybernetic Punk crew for their always "lively" commentary of the games and a big thanks goes out to all the players that decided to participate in the tournament. I trust that all of you had a great time! Also have to give a shout out to the map creators that put the effort into bringing the classic sc1 maps to sc2. Next tournament is in the planning stages as I type this. Bigger and better. Even though it's going to be hard to top the better part of things, as this tournament was great. More information should be released on it in the next week or two, and is planned to run over the course of the second phase of the beta. Stay tuned! | ||

I'm Kyle, and I certainly wasnt getting information from the stream. If you have a specific part of a game in mind where I do something fishy, i'd be happy to watch the replay and see if I can explain it or point out why I did something. I really don't want accusations of cheating to smudge my winning. I worked very hard to win the games and I absolutely did not cheat. Not sure how I can prove it to you. With that said though, it was painfully obvious that my opponent in the finals was getting information from the stream. He scouted at 12-13 food on every match until the match I 7 pooled, in which he sent the scout around the same time it would've been clear on the stream that I was doing so. I've been waiting for the VODs to see if that's the case. That's certainly not definite proof, but I'm pretty sure the mistell he had in the fifth game is enough to prove it. Seeing as how I beat him anyway, I figured it wasn't worth taking away from an otherwise awesome tournament by starting a poopstorm. But again, I certainly did not use the stream to cheat in any way whatsoever. Even the slightest accusation of that is quite upsetting to me because I worked my ass off playing those games. My forearms ached by the end of it and I was getting up between games to wipe my head down with a cold cloth. I had no expectations of winning when i started in the ro32 and doing so has been one of the most satisfying things I've done as a gamer. I earned my wins. If you're going to discredit my hard work with accusations like that, please at least provide some reasoning behind it, don't just throw my name in there. | ||

I was present in all of the games and remember them pretty well (they were pretty epic). What stands out is that both players were sticking to their respective openings game 1-3. By game 3, the players started to anticipate one another and play accordingly since they realized they keep seeing similar play style. Mirror matches are so easily predictable, seriously come on...

You picked incineration zone, 6-10 pool is very popular in that map. Heck, the commentators predicted one of you were likely to going 6 pool going into the game. | ||

You kind of passed over the other half of that paragraph. I explicitly stated that wasn't proof enough, only an odd deviation in his usual play. He made no attempt to scout early on steppes. It's hard to articulate, but when you are playing someone you get a feel for them. When i saw that early drone in my base, it felt wrong. I only suspected he was getting info from the stream at that point. But did you watch game 5? He mistelled into chat asking someone what I had shortly before pushing out and then went dead silent for the rest of the game. It wasn't some sort of joke where he was pretending to watch the stream. It was a legitimate mistype and everyone watching saw it. I don't know what more evidence you need. Regardless, the tournament is over and it doesn't really matter. It all comes down to personal opinion. I take no pleasure in sticking my neck out and making accusations or trying to prove that he was cheating. | ||

He talks about his map choices, thoughts during the series, getting matched up ZvZ in every match of his trip through the tournament, and his thoughts on, " I didn't expect to get past the first round". You can find it here. www.ustream.tv/channel/stew-tv http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7498830 Note: At this time I have no real comment on the accusations of cheating, but to say that any person found to be cheating is banned from further Micro/Macro Tournaments. | ||

I'll have them linked and categorized here by round and player(s). Also a bit of news, by this weekend or early next week, we will be releasing news of the next tournament. REALLY exited for this next one guys; really going over the top this time. Should be a great way to celebrate things when the beta comes back up in a few weeks. Video intros, custom brackets, more players, more post-game interviews, more VODS, new maps, more integration with the TL website and possibly a website of our own, new/more commentators, and just maybe, an awesome prize pool. | ||
