Renegade I think.
|
This commentating is hilarious.
|
Antimage v Drewbie on Xel Naga. What a weird game.
|
VODs are up at Youtube, go check them out. I highly recommend game 3 between Catz and CocoA.
|
What was the results from cocoa vs catz?
|
|
|
naniwa, this invitational was towards players who competed in their regular koth's and performed well in them :D
|
stalife was invited so that must not be true LOL ^^
|
lol. new time slots are posted but subject to change.
|
|
|
Holy fadoodle Sheth vs minigun, that was a game for the ages.
Epic Shakrurus plateu game, back and forth the entire time, all bases taken! Split up and down! Yes, up and down.
|
should make a chat channel
|
|
|
AHHHHH Stalife just won a game with one clutch seeker missile. I just screamed.
|
That was an amazing reaper + medivac opening. I wanna use that in a free for all / 2v2.
|
These games have been amazing so far. The epic seeker missile at the end of the last game was nuts. Sheth vs minigun was great too. Additionally, the crew commentating this event is doing a fantastic job. I am really enjoying the theorycrafting and play by play that they are doing.
Keep it up guys and keep the great games coming.
|
something about stalife
5 reapers did massive damage, what if he waitied for 7 or 8... o_o
he got +1 attack at like 16 mins in, this is really late right?
He didn't build turrets at his gold. If CatZ had not lost all his muta, he would of lost it..
stalife is really fun to play
|
|
|
mehh.. I think you guys give stalife to much credit. He had 40% idle SCV's for half the game and still won. I give the mule all credit and the HSM was just the icing on the insult.
|
I feel sorry for CatZ. Especially for the last game.
Props for him still gg'ing after those shenanigans...
|
obviously I wasn't playing my best, I was on a terrible tilt after playing against piqliq twice in a row before my match vs catz :/ Also, I had a terrible headache today so I left work early  I was just making the right decisions, just terrible macro/mechanics, and admittedly, I did get quite lucky against CatZ. Good games !
|
@tef: considering that catz is obviously a top level player and beats high level terrans who ARE on top of their game i'm gonna have to say that the win was 100% due to stalife's excellent innovative build and awesome unit control. great to see the actual power of seeker missile finally especially against a player with such high caliber micro.
ggwp stalife

You really didn't have to tell you are sorry for winning, I kinda feel like a douche bag now. It was just an odd game and I was really astonished that you managed to win it despite the SCV failure, maybe Catz macro was completely off too, I don't really know. gg and gl
