kiwikaki will win 4-2 imo
best of luck! thanks for running this
|
Excellent. Also, these two sure know how to put up a "pimp" play. Just look at the reddit tournament. Will be a blast, for sure.
|
Kiwikaki is going to win all 250$.

Nice, this is going in the calendar, watching Kiwikaki play is always a pleasure. :D
And even better with TB casting.
|
Quite excited for this. I've always wanted to see more of Catz's games, and Kiwikaki is always a treat to watch. Plus commentated by TB? This seems like a dream showmatch for me.
|
Nice! I love these guys. Put QXC against the winner! 
|
Hmph, screw you guys. I like Catz.
|
Ah gona be a great series both have tendencies to do unorthadox things and with more money on the line for that gona be some great games :d
|
YAY!
Catz and Kiwikaki are both amazingly exciting to watch. This is going to be sweet!
|
Catz definitely has a chance as they are practice partners with each other. I think kiwi will win but it won't be one sided.
|
Kiwi bring outs mothership? Yes i would think so.
|
tb i expect a $50 pimpest manager award - of either player.
|
|
|
Two of the most creative and exciting players with TotalBiscuit casting? I'm sold.
|
This is my Starcraft 2 wet dream. Thank you TB, but I prefer moon to be 2nd Banish when we run our 3 lock post-raid Heroic.
|
This gonna be siiick! So looking forward to watch this faceoff, no matter who wins, I gonna be one happy nerd watching this! GO CatZ, GO Kiwikaki xD
|
I gotta go with catz. Proxy hatch here we come!
|
|
|
Please let this be a good series, and not a protoss rofl stomp  go catz! Inspire some zergies!
So looking forward to this :D only 30 minutes left... wait
1 week okay
|
I would love to see both a proxy hatch and mothership in same game....I've got my money on Kiwi though. So looking forward to this.
|
Nydus worms vs Motherships? oh yeah
|
Against popular opinion, I think Catz has got this. I might have to watch muted though, no offense to TB, but I cant stand his commentary. He is way too over the top for my liking, and I don't like his voice. A damn shame that he's casting, but should be great matches.
|
Can't wait for the MOTHERSHIPPPP !!!!

Yes well, when you arrange the matches and give money to the players, you tend to get priority on casting the matches. Whether or not some dude doesn't like your casting doesn't factor into it. I will release the replay pack after the series is done so perhaps if you wait, there will be another caster who is more suited to your personal preferences.
|
CatZ will take this one for sure
|
american vs europe player would be more exciting :D

Well the cool thing about this sponsorship deal I've arranged with Hangwith.me, is it's for 3 months, with 3 seperate payments, so I can get 2 more events rollin'. Oh and I'm open to suggestions as to what people want to see in a showmatch, this match was actually organised because someone on Reddit suggested that they'd really like to see CatZ and Kiwikaki go at it.
|
This will be epic!! Love TB commentary and Kiwikaki is best Kiwi! Love his protoss play. As for other showmatches do you think you can get pretty much anyone? I'd love to see MouzMana vs Morrow if you are doing same clanmates. Or Morrow vs Kiwikaki for a grudge match rematch? Redemption from the SCRI?
|
Well it really depends on who wants to play a BO7 for $200, which seems to be the going rate for showmatches between particularly high level players these days. Don't recall seeing a higher amount. Comes down to timing, scheduling etc.
|
Lol pimpest play between kiwikaki and catz COULD be pretty epic
|
Tomorrow's weather forecast is: motherships.
Beware of cloaked units that could get in your path.

TB, I wouldn't mind seeing TLO play Select in a BO7. Even though it's a tvt, I think it would be a pretty good series.
|
lol... creepy photos of both players
|
can't wait to see 7 mother ships!
|
TB, you're my hero. Ever since your MorroW vs KiWi game, my roommates have been screaming "SOOOOOO MANY TENTICLES" whenever the opportunity arises.
|
|
|
It's really exciting to hear about the deal with you and Hangwith.me
I'm looking forward to this match, and to seeing who the future matches will be between. I hope this takes off and the partnership is extended.
|
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
|
SO STOKED!!! i'd even pay for a VOD of this match as I'm gonna miss the first 30 mins TT

Ahh nice... well they made a good choice. While we are on the topic of recommendations... perhaps you could get qxc in on the action, possibly against Machine?

Going live in an hour folks.
|
Very pumped for this, two beasts going at it and it's so evenly matched it's impossible to call

Yep, really excited that we could do this sponsorship with TB. Cannot wait to see who he has lined up for next month! QXC v Machine would be an awesome matchup, though.

Looking forward to seeing this matchup!

Oh crap, such perfect forcefield play the first time, then just slightly mis-placed the second
|
Catz goes for the early gold. Kiwikaki stays calm, and 3 gate expands instead of trying to kill the gold.
Catz is all inning now, Kiwi going for stargate
|
BEAUTIFUL forcefield play from Kiwkaki, only one mis forcefield, but he was so far in income anyway.
Catz investing way too much in this. Kills like 6 probes at the cost of several banelings.
MOTHERSHIP
|
And a mothership incoming...
|
Shame KiWi already Vortexed
It would have been sooo sexy if Catz could have used it on KiWi's army ^^
Excellent showmatch so far gentlemen!
|
Parasite - vortex - baneling on Kiwi's army would have been the pimpest play of all time!

2-0 for Kiwikaki.
E: 3-0 now.

This series makes me so sad. CatZ with those awesome ideas and just not quite able to pull them off T_T
|
Short report
+ Show Spoiler +First map was Metalopolis, CatZ took his gold right away and kept KiWi in his base with some lings, then KiWi expanded and CatZ tried multiple banelingbusts on the mineral line but failed due to good forcefields.
Eventually KiWi got Voidrays and CatZ didnt have enough AA in time and that settles the first map.
Second map was Lost Temple, CatZ opened Hatch first and got under attack by a quick zealot and 2 stalkers ( IIRC ) Wich he held of pretty nice, though lost 2 overlords. Then it they kept poking a bit at each other until eventually KiWi got a Mothership. at that point I think CatZ had 3 bases up and 2 under construction, and KiWi had 2 bases up, his 3rd just finished and 4th under construction, when the battle happened, CatZ parasited the MS, but KiWi already Vortexed Catz' army.
Third map was Steppes of War, Catz opened with an offensive evochamber but KiWi held it and the counterpush was too much since CatZ sacrificed too much econ at the beginning.
|
Third map was Steppes, actually

+ Show Spoiler +4-1 in favor of KiWi. CatZ wins $50 bonus "pimpest play" for his evo chamber block. =)

Please make a post in this thread when the youtube videos are up. I am looking forward to seeing some crazy stuff.
*edit - nvm, looks like I can watch it on Justin.tv
|
You can if you so desire. VoDs in higher quality will be up on Youtube tomorrow.
|
I watched a bit on Justin.tv until it started assaulting me with weird Ryan Seacrest advertisments that cause chaos and teeth gnashing. I'll check the youtube stuff later.
|

|
catz with the plucked eyebrows. I must go for kiwi 4-0

Generally speaking, insulting the guy who organised and partially funded the event is a really bad way to convince him to release a replay-pack and is unimaginably entitled and crass.
|
well i just watched the vods and they're pretty good actually the caster gives them a good touch ^^, but i just wonder why ppl dont realease the replays as well? should be like an option, either watch the vods or the replays
