It's the Blizzard's Regional Finals, which as of now only include WC3 and WoW. It's a Blizzard event, not a "Warcraft event". If SC2 had been released earlier, it would've been included as well. | ||

Well i just figured since it was called "2010 European Warcraft Invitational" it was a warcraft event. I must be pretty stupid to make that assumption. I also just saw this on blizzard's facebook. (EU) For the viewing pleasure of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty fans everywhere we’ve arranged a StarCraft II show match between two of the world’s best players at the 2010 European Warcraft Invitational in Cologne, Germany. I'm glad to see that they are already starting to spark the e-sports scene. | ||

WC3 is like 99% micro. I think SC2 depends more on micro than macro for winning. I will probably recieve alot of rage for saying SC2 is more like WC3 than SC though  but SC2 is the perfect balance imo.OH and I can't wait to see MadFrogs SC2 skills, and TLO is always awesome to watch. Hype hype! | ||

War3 had no macro and had to micro 4-10 units. Starcraft had tons of macro and had to micro 4-10 units and 10-20 units and 20-30 units etc etc. Starcraft encompassed far more than War3 ever could. | ||

A guy like Moon has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in his career and rose to the very top of an ultra-competitive, international RTS scene. Maybe the likes of Flash and Jaedong can look down on him, somewhat, but it's funny to see D level BW players turning their nose up at a guy who is 1000x the RTS player they could ever hope to be. | ||

WC3 has tons of spells and fewer units which makes it even more important to keep your units alive. But that has nothing to do with what I said. I said its true that the amount of micro percentage-wise in WC3 is larger than in SC. I'm just correcting the false claim that SC doesn't have much micro at all. And I'm also pointing out that the micro moves are much harder to pull off in SC. For example pulling a wounded unit back is much easier in War3 than in SC because of the game mechanics (engine). I've seen some War3 people claiming some of the "wow" moments in SC micro are not at all impressive in War3 standards. They don't really seem to have a clue. Then there is also the matter of the units being much smaller and weaker. Not to mention that some tiny micro moves are just a waste of time in SC. It is often better to just move the whole group of marines right away, instead of wasting time with a single marine. You still have to click like hell though. War3 people think that SC can have macro while they have micro. But that's just not how it is. On August 04 2010 12:13 Macavity wrote: You know what was really funny?

Anyway, I remember downloading many MadFrog replays and watching them. The guy is a very skilled player. This should be a fun showmatch, either way. Why would only BW players dominate it even if it was a cakewalk? In early stages of War3, BW players did dominate more or less. Elky for example won some Korean league, and War3 wasn't even the only game he was playing at the time afaik. Many just moved back to BW pretty soon. A large number of War3 pros who stayed have a BW background too, so those who stuck with it, have performed quite well it seems. Anyway, you do have a point. We see mediocre BW players outplaying much better BW players. Clearly how and what skills transfer over is a complex matter. With that being said, I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with Madfrog. Sure, this fanboyism is really annoying, but don't hate Madfrog for it. This is indeed going to be awesome although if TLO has been practising I'm expecting him to win quite decisively. | ||

Sky was just on the rise and came to the proscene in late 05, infi was a noname back then. ToD wasn't as good and Grubby might be the only contender for being as skilled as Frog in Europe. But there was one specific player who was better than Frog or Moon-> FoV. Maybe Sweet aswell. Madfrog was a god, noone comes close to him. In terms of skill maybe, but Frog was like Backstreet Boys for wc3-nerds in Europe. He was the rolemodel for players like Grubby. He was more than just some skilled player. And now he is back  | ||

If it is so easy, howcome I dont see you anywhere at the top? If you are playing singleplayer I apologise, because then it would perhaps be correct to say its easy. | ||

He's right though, they're harder because they've been out for many years and player skill level has increased In sc and war3 everybody on ladder has played every map a thousand times and has memorized every detail and every possible matchup, so it's a lot harder to get into | ||

After seeing the close call between White-Ra (DuckloadRa, makes me laugh every time) and MadFrog on scrap, I can't wait for this. Seriously. Nerd chills, and uncontrollable ear-to-ear grinning. I think MadFrog is getting there, but to some extent he's in WC3 mode still, so I'd expect TLO to win. You never know though. | ||

Yea and also in the light of previous comments, I don't think it matters if it was scbw or wc3 he played as a pro. If you have the skill and determination to go to korea and compete among the top players in a game like wc3. Then there is no doubt that he will be a top foreign player if he plays enough. If you got talent, determination, disciplin and experiance its only a question about adapting to a new game. | ||

Ex: For me to know what time 12am CEST is here i have to: 1) put it on UTC, in this case UTC+2, that is having to search what the mentioned time is, sometimes people just mention one time be it CEST, EST, PST, Hawaii time, or or wathever zone they happen to live in 2) compare to my time zone UTC+1 3) see the difference (1h). Putting it in UTC makes it much more easier. Tournament is 12 am UTC+2 Great i am UTC+1 so its 11 am here. Done. And it's the same for everyone, whether you live in America, EU, Asia, Australia, Africa or Antartica. UTC is for all those times the same way metric system is for imperial system. Much easier and universal to use. So if someone reads this and cares, please at least add the UTC time when you're putting the time for an event. | ||

He had the game the moment he pushed out with his mass roaches.. after that it was just clean up. If he would have skipped the tricky sneak play, at 100 food and just maxed his army with roaches he could have just rolled over him. You don´t need to cripple a wounded opponent. The only thing he did with this was give TLO the chance to maybe come back into the game. One the other hand it was nice to watch.. and he won that game either way. | ||

Otherwise, wonderful showmatches. Glad to see Froggy back in action! EDIT: People judging Madfrog's lack of macro. Well dammit he's a former Wc3 player, where micro played a much bigger role than macro, what'd you expect really? As I said I just must say im impressed he managed to win one game. | ||

No shit you don't want to argue with him because you haven't got a leg to stand on. Heh, there's a blatant flaw in your reasoning. MadFroG might've been more accomplished, but in his prime in BW he wasn't even as good as an average D player on iCCup right now. People were really bad at StarCraft (comparatively) back in the days. On the other hand, TLO reached A-. In terms of skills in BW, TLO was way better that MadFroG ever was, albeit less accomplished. | ||

On the other hand, TLO reached A-. In terms of skills in BW, TLO was way better that MadFroG ever was, albeit less accomplished. You too pleasse stop the nonsense. After not playing for 5 years I could still get to B in TSL without any practice. Madfrogs skills from 2001 in no way translate to todays D or anything close to it. | ||

No shit you don't want to argue with him because you haven't got a leg to stand on. My conclusion was drawn from watching numerous WC3 players and tournaments. It is not a coincidence the top foreign players all have a history of BW. My thinking is not in the minority, pretty much every player who has a history in BW knows this to be true. And the results speak for itself. edit: typed this before Nazgul's post. Will stop now. | ||

I just have to point out one that and that's what Madfrog said in the interview. He mentioned how SC2 has a lot of more dimensions than Wc3 and I really must disagree there. I wonder what he thought about stating that. He said similar things about WC3 in comparasion to Brood War after he made that switch. It's probably a mental thing where it helps him stay motivated if he feels he is playing the best of games. In this case it might also serve to rationalize why he is not performing aswell as in the previous game. Translated MadFroG interview Cool that you are doing so well! But why!? Why did you change so drastically to WC3 from Starcraft/Brood War? What tempted you to play War3? Haha, I was probably the last team-q member to change. I wasn't even playing the War3 beta. But what was fun with BW was going to events and so on, and I knew that there wouldn't be much of that considering all the talk about WC3. In the start after changing, I liked BW much better, but now I have to say that I think WC3 is the better game. | ||

I don't believe Frog is better than TLO at this current stage, but don't act like he's just some kid who walked in off the street with a copy of SC2. He's a pro, he's proven it so many times in the past and he's only going to get better. Hell just being (re)picked up by SK already says a lot. One difference choice in game 3 as to where to put his expo and it could easily have been 2-1 Frog. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + The hidden expos is what cost MadFrog the first and third game. The hidden expo in the third game was really bad because he put it so close to the terran, a better spot would have been one in the east side so that at least he'd have a chance to defend it. As soon as TLO spotted the expo that game was over and MadFrog knew it but he played on to try to give the crowd a show. That second game was great and it showed MadFrog's legendary harassing skills. For the second series tomorrow I think MadFrog should pick Kulas Ravine and Metalopolis. I believe he can win tomorrow's series 3-2 if he picks the right maps. | ||

Altho madfrog won't be able to win more than 1 game I think, his play didn't feel solid and his macro was seriously lacking, too bad- he was one of my favourite wc3 players... Not sure how he will do in the later stages of sc2, I bet hes gonna have a hard time. We'll see^^ | ||

1)madfrog was a top level broodwar player, before switching to wc3 2)madfrog was literally #1 pointwise out of all players in phase 2 of the beta for a long period of time in the europe server under the name 'unknownart' this means that he is worthy to play TLO, even if TLO is obviously better than him right now. He also has a lot of potential. he also packs snus while playing, and shows signs of his trademark wc3 crazy as fuck harass style. how baller is that? | ||

They have a great distance advantage and the safety is not far away so their solwer movespeed is a lot harder to be abused. Plus you canot expect to pump mutas out of 2 gas, and the natural's gas can be denied easely for a very long time. Are we realyl argugin that KR T>Z ? | ||

Madfrog is not at TLO level by any mean, but he's still winning some games. What makes me laugh is the fact that people is still saying terran imba when there are players who can't lose at all against terran like Dimaga. They should have invited him instead of Madfrog, then everyone would have seen how strong zerg really is. Watching Madfrog losing 50 lings against 2 hellions, making corruptors against vikings and not mutas, stacking more than 3k minerals every single game, suiciding stuff into defense instead of sniping expansions just makes me think he's still clueless about SC2. The only game he played with the correct unit composition today was the one on Delta Quadrant, and he still managed to get over 6k minerals. It's not bashing, it's more like stating the facts. | ||

I can show you plenty of replays with high level players with similar macro skills so I don't see how he isn't "up there with others". | ||

Madfrog is playing Zerg in an interesting way we do not see from our usual "good Zerg players" and he is winning with these tactics. He is fun to watch compared with loads of other Zerg and somewhat creative as TLO himself is. | ||

It pretty much works like this on Kulas Ravine, you use queens to counter vikings in air and mutas won't allow them to land. Once you have mutas it's impossible to harass gas, and if the terran keeps making vikings it's just autoloss. TLO was lucky Madfrog didn't keep stacking mutas for some reason, otherwise the game wouldn't have been won by him. | ||

Have you ever watched a zerg game before? Maybe go watch some Idra games or any zerg for that matter because when you got 4+ bases minerals always stack up. | ||

What makes me laugh is the fact that people is still saying terran imba when there are players who can't lose at all against terran like Dimaga. They should have invited him instead of Madfrog, then everyone would have seen how strong zerg really is. Watching Madfrog losing 50 lings against 2 hellions, making corruptors against vikings and not mutas, stacking more than 3k minerals every single game, suiciding stuff into defense instead of sniping expansions just makes me think he's still clueless about SC2. The only game he played with the correct unit composition today was the one on Delta Quadrant, and he still managed to get over 6k minerals. It's not bashing, it's more like stating the facts. Dimaga can't lose against Terran? 0-2 vs IntoTheRainbow in KOTB 0-2 vs QXC in KOTB 1-3 vs Strelok in last week's Craftcup final | ||

Agree. And I would add that you werent complaining, and nobody did. Cause it's good to see some diversity in tournaments. Its always interesting to see a legend on his way back tot the top fighting against one of the best. Its was a good SHOWMATCH considering that he hasnt been playing the game for too long. | ||

FroG made some stupid choices in the first series but still managed to take a game off TLO purely by outplaying him. He outplays him in multiple games in the second series but still gets gibbed by how ridiculously unfair LT and Kulas are not to mention bad luck on starting positions. Mech solves, spam thors and press E for victory. | ||

Also when madfrog was terran he used to be #1 pointswise in beta with the nick UnknownArt right ? I think in a few patches madfrog will be near the very top in sc2. His game 4 in the 2nd showmatch was super awesome. Tlo had no chance in that game whatsoever. Wich is really rare in that matchup. Ok Tlo messed up a bit with his tricky expo but still awesome awesome game. | ||

I coulda sworn you cant do what he did without dying immediately but he proved me wrong. Although I have an admittedly limited understanding of WC3 (aka I've played like 10 games), it doesn't seem to be very economy oriented. But Madfrog just takes like 6 bases like it was nothing which seems especially weird for a WC3 player. - A confused Madfrog fan. Before War3 MaDFroG was a very strong BW player as well. Also he introduced a very economy oriented style to the otherwise more aggressive or tech oriented play of the undead race. So he's not as far out of his depth as you might think. | ||

Maybe Terran is not OP after all..." the best game was the second one where TLO won i think, TLO played pritty standard and madfrog still held off quite well. The game where he did a battlecruiser rush he would most likley lost anyway i think considering him having no expansion and madfrog ready to take his third... Well thats just me thinking that maybe. And the last game was a reall close one, i think if madfrog did not decied to base trade he could have won that game and more importantly if he built his "sneaky expansion" somewhere else so TLO could not abuse the xel naga watch tower... The third game was an hard lose for Madfrog but he is far from the first zerg i see lose that hard on Kulvas Ravine versus terrans, it just favores terran alot... i nthe fourth game TLO lost majorly thanks to him not expecting that many banelings... not the fast expo... even if that migth added on the loss. anyway dont matter who wins or losses was awsome matches and was a nice watch. sorry for my bad english... | ||

Maybe because Weapon upgrade wouldnt have reduced the number of hits required to kill stuff? Anyway im really impressed by Madfrogs play, in my opinion he shows how Zerg should be played in general. Huge focus on expanding, countering / run by and abusing the opponents unit composition (tech switches). His biggest problems / loses came from map imbalances, where either the rush distances are very short or there is same way to abuse like a cliff over the natural (LT / Kulas). | ||

Obviously that would hurt their credibility due to bad judgment hiring out for a guy to be involved in the "official" blizzard starcraft scene knowing that he was previously a hacker, it doesn't seem like it would really hurt them that much if thats what your emplying but it does show that they don't care as much about what active sc community members think towards their presenting us all with someone who did something of that nature. Personally it doesn't bother me because i mean comon blizz screws up a lot, mainly because we all have such high hopes for them (not to mention the game being a sport lol) that theres no way they could ever measure up but certainly this move could possibly come off as rude or insensitive towards players/community members who follow a moral code towards the game and its all those involved imo (think of it like if mcdonalds hired a cook who had previously purposefully given customers food poisoning, was caught, and fired from another mcdonalds, it just doesn't really seem like good business sense). | ||

Because that's hypocritical of them. On one hand, they ban hackers and are generally very negative towards them, on the other hand, they hire a blatant hacker from their very game... It's ridiculous that someone who was deliberately RUINING StarCraft events is now going to be RUNNING them, on Blizzard behalf on top of that. Ironic. T____T | ||

Personally it doesn't bother me because i mean comon blizz screws up a lot, mainly because we all have such high hopes for them (not to mention the game being a sport lol) that theres no way they could ever measure up but certainly this move could possibly come off as rude or insensitive towards players/community members who follow a moral code towards the game and its all those involved imo (think of it like if mcdonalds hired a cook who had previously purposefully given customers food poisoning, was caught, and fired from another mcdonalds, it just doesn't really seem like good business sense). your example isn't relevant at all. this is nothing at all like mcdonalds. hiring him would have nothing to do with what the community thinks about him, and furthermore if people are only thinking emotionally that's not really part of the business, do you think hiring him could possibly, at all, ever, have any effect on their sales? no. don't kid yourself, you're not going to not buy their game because someone who was a known cheater in a previous game of theirs is now working for them... although, i would agree that it's obvious at this point blizzard is all about their bottom line. hiring someone who knows how programs work, and in this case probably knows how hacks work, is hiring someone who has better insight on exactly what you would want them to have insight on. if you hire someone who knows how to backwards engineer your previous anti-cheat system, or even iccup's, which was the communities anti-cheat system, you're hiring someone with experience and knowledge about how people will try to work around your new anti-cheat. this is a good example of exactly good business sense. why do you think there was so much competition over nazi scientists between the west and the soviets after wwii? | ||
