I messaged TLO and asked for practice games. Then a light bulb went on. What better way to prepare for a tournament than to simulate a tournament environment.
Starting at 1245 CET (around 40 minutes from when this post is written) TLO is going to be streaming our impromtu BO7.
Winner takes all.
Replays will be posted post mortem.
cu
+ Show Spoiler + standings are (arguably) 3-1. I say arguably because we had 2-3 d/cs where the game was favored in one direction or another. Going to finish when TLO's computer is a bit more stable
|
winner takes all of what?
|
Awesome! I don't even know why I'm up at 4:10 AM my time but I'm glad I'll be able to watch this live lol
|
Work till 2:40PM at least.. meh. Waiting for replays. It would also be cool if you could post results in spoilers, thanks.
|
cant wait for this!! gl hf
|
Nice one man! I will try and catch these games!
|
At first I was like "hmm got class at 8 in the morning let's browse a little before bed"
Then I saw this post by qxc. Then I saw that he was playing TLO. Then I looked at the clock.
NO SLEEP WOOOOOO
|
2 of the most creative and addictive players to watch..... OMGGGG!!
|
very nice...looking forward to it
|
awesome, shame you don't have a 3rd person to stream from the observer pov. I would offer but I'm sure you dont want a scrub casting your games ;p

no regrets
|
Awesome! And its now.  Is there a prize on this?
Btw interesting that someone wants to practice against TLO. Would have thought he is a bad practice partner as his style is quite special and "random".
|
2 aggressive players, awesome! Pls do mutil-drop qxc. I love that
|
no prize. Just practice games in the form of a bo7 and with the stream it's a show match ^^

I'm sure its not hard to find someone to practice "standard" games against, but its the stuff you don't see very often that will kill you. In that respect, some practice against a player like TLO should be very good.
|
This one is for all the marbles.
Will you stream so we can have dual FPVs?
|

All of it.
Looking forward to it.
|
im sure you could get someone to stream the games, doesnt have to be commentated, just so we can get a full view of the game
watching first person view is often pretty hectic and you have less information the worse you are (since you cant interpret the scouting as well as a pro)
|
Doubt qxc can stream as his wireless is bad in spain apparently. Would be nice to get a caster though for definite, first person views irritate me at times 
The real question though, is TLO playing R or T?!
|
yeah, would be even more awesome with some neutral observer who knows what he's doing
|
Hey now I'll have something to do other than rage at losing games!

Damnit, I have class right now Thank god for replays!
|
As you are trying to emulate a tournament environment I expect nay demand nukes and BCs and thors from TLO and it would be nice if QXC could fly his vikings by at just the right moment...

Well the replays would be greatly appreciated at the least

Thanks. Another question, I missed the first few seconds. Did he choose terran or get terran randomly?

that was a ladder match... not vs qxc

I know, it doesn't mean it wasn't a good match
|
|
1-0 for TLO, very fast first game.
|
|
Why TLO's stream doesn't show?
|
|
Anyone know what music TLO is listening to? I love it 
Also thanks for streaming this of course!
|
how went the first match? is tlo playing random?
|
great event, thanks QXC and TLO.
|
On January 28 2011 20:58 Katzenaal wrote: how went the first match? is tlo playing random?
Yeah - he is playing random. First match he spawned Terran, close positions by air on Metalopolis. He dropped 8 marines, 3 hellions and an SCV or two in qxc's main and ended up winning with that force in a short game.
|
I like that you turned a practise session into a showmatch so we can watch it! Thanks to both players!

On January 28 2011 20:58 Katzenaal wrote: how went the first match? is tlo playing random?
first game:
TLO (R->T) vs QXC (T) - Metalopolis
TLO goes for a fast helion marine push while QXC goes straight to banshees. Using a medivac, TLO elevators 8 marines and 2-3 helions into QXC's base which forced the gg as QXC's banshee was just finishing
|
can anyone cast this? TLO stream quality is too high for me :/

bah getting a little lag, audio is coming through before video But video stream is not laggy just audio in front so at least i get some smooth picture :D
|
|
second game begins:
TLO (R->P) vs QXC (T) - XelNaga
|
btw... nice sounds on german sc2
|
TLO being suuuuper aggressive off 1 gate, lol
|
TLO pushes with 2 zealots and 1 stalker and gets to QXCs base before his bunker finishes. QXC had to pull out SCVs to hold TLO push
|
Can someone live report? Sitting at work-.-
|
Looks like TLO been stealing builds from MC
|
Whats the link of the stream?
|
|
|
|
TLO took his natural quite early. QXC took his only now
|
looks like qxc is going marine, helion tank while TLO warpped in a warp prism and goes for an imortal drop
|
TLO drops 2 immortals in qxc main
|
qxc manages too hold but lost one or two addons
|
Thanks Frankon, KiNGxXx and pred470r
|
yet another drop from TLO and he takes his gold
|
tlo keeps dropping qxc's main over and over focussing only the starport reactor, while massing phoenix/colossus
|
TLO is getting every damn unit, warp gate + colo + immortals + pheonix
|
wow tlo's protoss is wack so awesome
|
QXC is still on 2 base
(i think)
|
stream won't load
|
my god TLO is absolutely dirty
|
here comes the push from TLO, looks like his gonna take this
|
and QXC gg's
TLO 2 - 0 QXC
|
nice! now I'll have something to watch during lunch.
|
Amazing play by TLO on Xel Naga.
|
Wow that was really impressive solid Protoss play from TLO.
|
do anyone know the music that is playing on tlo's stream? seems like an OST from some movie/game. would be eternally grateful for artist/titles.
|
man TLO is playing so good, constant observers giving knowledge of what's going on and what to hit. Great play
|
QXC's looking really rusty. Getting out harassed easily.
|
so sick play by tlo
|

Yeah qxc hasn't looked as impressive as he usually does in these first two games

I must say ... TLO's play is quite impressive

My guess (not watching the stream) would be BattleStar Galactica OST. From his previous streams.

Well said. Dont know why im awake either. TLO is a crazy man.
|
2-0 PvT
Also, in his ladder games he wins vs top players with P, I hope all those "TLO's P sucks"-sayers will shut up eventually.
So awesome seeing TLO play random, 9 matchups to know and still beating top notch players. Team Liquid must be proud.
|
|
wow TLOs protoss is starting to look really strong
|
that was some intelligent play, keeping the viking count down with drops killing off reactors while building phoenix to support his colossi, and expanding while qxc's mech couldn't move out for fear of the immortal drops. superb
tlo's toss has come a long ass way since hdh/kot
must admit though, he did shamelessly zealot 4gate dimaga earlier heh
|
ZvT with this epic music, can't be better ^^.
|
All I'm seeing on the stream is the TLO logo. No game, just music in the background. Games already over? Pause? Am I missing something?
|
go qxc!
i want more matches than 4!

I think his P may have surpassed his zerg by now. Terran/Protoss benefit more from smart play and are less mechnically demanding (as well as less cheese to learn how to play against). So with limited time to spend on each race I think that his Protoss/Terran improve faster than his Zerg. Just speculation of course 
Not related to balance at all just related to learning curves.
|
it wasnt that TLO P sucked... it was his PvP that sucked...
Oh and someone tell TLO and QXC to make it BO9 ;D
|
|
lol command center bug
|
stream is quite laggy

Ah, ok. Good to know. If just the stream would run properly now without freezing every ~20 seconds :/.
|
Please dont forget, that qxc lives in Spain right now, to study, so he wont have a ton of practise, thats why he wanted to play with TLO in the first place, at least thats my guess...
|
Nazgul I think Protoss benefits most from skill and clever play. The real skill in Protoss is to survive early game vs Terran or having a good build that leads you into midgame without a huge disadvantage. Because Protoss in Lategame is actually not that hard to play, since you have so many viable unitmixes that are all insanely hard to counter and powerful.
So yeah, his builds are what make him that strong - he keeps the pressure away from his play while pressuring with an usually inferior early-game race.
His Zerg is in my opinion too tricky and I think Zerg benefits more from mechanical macro-style play.
|
qxc pushes with 4 marines but TLO's spine crawler finishes just in time and QXC retreats
|
qxc tried to harass with a helions but fails
|
nice one, tlo vomits creep on the ledge next to his natural with an OL then puts a tumor with a queen
|
meanwhile, qxc erected a bunker in front of TLOs natural... perhaps a contain
|
qxc drops a thor on TLO ledge
|
he manages to take out the spine cralwers but TLO now drops lings from OLs onto the thor
|
TLO kills of the buker in front of his natural while QXC keeps harassing with thor ships
|
For some reason the stream is lagging horribly for me, usually i get TLO's stream lagfree In the chat it seems I'm not the only one - could any1 be a hero and restream?
|
Wow. TLO is ridiculous. Can tell he has lots of experience versus this LT shenanigans O_O
|
TLO drops roaches in qxcs main
|
I have watched many TLO games but never from his view point, his multi tasking seems absolutely amazing right now :D

he does it again but now his pushing from the front too
|
qxc needs to take island....
|
|
QXC lost his natural and TLO is taking his third
|
Frozen, haha.
edit: and off air!
|
i think stream crashed...

Yeah, the stream is anything but fun to watch. Besides that, awesome games of what i've seen between the freezeframes so far.

|
maybe ask drooL to cast? he is online
|
Wow this LT game looks like qxc is trying to pull off every trick he has but TLO holds everything off to counter drop while attacking the front at the same time oO
|
|
Noooo the stream! Think TLO got this game in the bag anyhow
|
well, offline stream for me
|
Really need these replays now haha, sorta hoping qxc wins just so there are more games :D
|
looks like TLO just had a complete DC, probably dc'ed from the game as well. T_T
|
tlo isnt online anymore O.o
|
Stream not working for me anymore 
I did like the way TLO's roaches at the front busted their buddies out of qxc's base after they seemed to be trapped xD it was like some kind of roach heist.

stream online. I still think we need an observer to cast.
|
Darn this thread got filled quickly, hehe. Will be nice to watch Also, the german SCVs are hilarious
|
Woot :D Rematch on Lost temple TLO 8 oclock, spawns as terran
|
|
looks like TLO doesn't want to be bothered with sending the replays right now (which is absolutely understandable). maybe after this game, if not then i just won't do it. and watching TLO's stream is pretty sufficient anyways :D

TLO gets a reaper to scout he currently has 2 refineries, might go for some tank build

tlo plays beastly, but qxc's definitely out of shape

The german voices are so epic haha
|
all this time, qxc made a tank/bunker line by the northern xelNaga
|
qxc instantly scouts tlo's 3rd with a hellion, we still have no idea if qxc has his 3rd (or even 4th).
|
both of them are using drops to the maximum
|
TLO is going for a drop in qxcs main

while simultaneously dropping qxcs natural ledge

TLO forces qxc to lift his cc from the natural
|
TLO is prepping for yet another drop
|
qxc has to scan the island pretty soon.
|
I never thought I'd see someone outdrop QXC, TLO is a beast! He was really able to stop QXC's aggression that way. Had QXC scouted a bit more , he would've seen a few opportunities where he could've gone into TLO's base, but he didn't because TLO's drops put him on the defensive.
|
he is also taking the island
|
TLO takes it for the 3-0.
|
It feels like qxc is having a bad day.
|
omfg TLO is crazy
edit: the vikings in medivacs was funny from qxc though =/ although ended up being pointless
|
3-0
It must be so annoying playing TLO and all his drops :D
|
qxc gg's
TLO 3 - 0 QXC
btw: flood control just slapped me
|
TLO takes game 3 with awesome drop play, come on qxc you gotta at least take 1 game off of TLO, you don't wanna get 4-0'd in front of 3k people do you?

Watching TLO play is almost more entertaining than playing a game of my own.
|
YAY! getting the reps now, going to cast the stuff in 5 minutes. all hail Liquid`TLO.

His apm must be at least 400. SCII apm.
His drops were amaaaaaaaazing.

nah it definitely isn't ddos... its something with his computer most likely.
|
TLO 3:3 Internet I guess it's now safe to assume that: German Internet> qxc
|
so sad, it's such a cool event besides this damn discs/pc crashes
drool now casting the replays?
|
Well this is definitely an accurate simulation of a tournament environment -.-
|
|
|
TLo opens with hatch first
|
Did he just make like 3 ovies?
|
|
If he wins, I'm now going mass ovie if I get Z on JBase.
|
TLO spawned too many overlords
|
qxc also getting for his natural
|
|
new JB is only in ladder I thought?
|
TLO wants to break down the rocks from his natural
|
will it be the 2 base-mass overlord into disconnect build?
|
Qxc moving out with some hellions, TLO trying to get his 3rd.
|
We should spam StarOfCraft.539 ingame from now on
|
Yeah, ragequit.tv is on, but please keep up the nice text coverage for us hard working people!
|
he also wanted to get a very fast third at 3 o'clock but qxc rudely interrupted him with 2 helions
|
TLO getting his 3rd at the 8-o-clock. Interesting.
|
Overlords should drop nukes.
|
qxc now puts down his third at the 9 o'clock position
|
but wxc pushes with 6 helions and TLO only has lings
|
omg, TLO looses a lot of drones
|
TLO losing most of his drones at his natural to hellions, countering into QXCs natural after breaking down the rocks. Not sure who's ahead ATM.
|
but TLO does counterattack with zerglings killing off some of qxc'S scv'S
|
TLO went for fast infestors, interesting play.
|
tlo manages to hold and now counters with zerglings again, however qxc already destroyed his rocks and we prepared
|
QXC tries to push up with 6 more hellions but TLO gets off a nice fungal on 3 of them and finished most of the hellions off.
|
TLO is droned back up and is pulling ahead now thanks to his third
but qxc attacks again with helion marauders
|
Infestors are just too solid against MM
|
Blue flaaaaaaame whyyyyyy?! That early 3rd by TLO was super balsy. Now that he survived the initial volley, it will really push him ahead.
|
TLO teched to infestors and burrow, he might opt for some inf. marine harass
|
TLO sends his workers back in the midst of hellion harass and almost loses ALL of his drones at his natural.
|
meanwhile qxc keeps harassing with helions, blue flame is still not done
|
|
qxc finally finds tlo's third and is preparing for a drop
|
And yes, qxc still doesn't have blue flame.
TLO holding off hellion harass with nice fungals.
qxc trying to marine drop TLO's third.
|
TLO usage of fungal growth on helions is excelent
|
TLO getting BEAST fungals and shutting down two medivacs.
|
qxc manages however to take out TLOs third
|
looks like TLO's strategy is ling-infestor .... I kinda feel that qxc counters that perfectly with his helion marauder
|
qxc keeps trying to drop to kill some workers but TLO just burrows, and fungals the hellions.
|
WOW. TLO ggs. Was not expecting that.
|
TLO tries to reexpand at 9 and 3 o'clock
|
|
JB is giving Zerg a hard time.
|
|
oh no , TvT
|
|
|
It might have worked slightly better had he not gone mass overlord right off the bat. Interesting play regardless
|
funny map for TvT, since almost all terrans thumb it down. Qxc scouts early, as usual
|
On shakuras plateau his mass zergling/infestor style produced good wins ZvT
|
Yea definitely watching the rage quit vod recording AND the TLO stream at the same time. I feel double unproductive now!
QXC seems a little out of practice, but seeing as he traveled internationally I can definitely understand that.
|
tlo is getting his second gas
|
tlo getting a reaper for scouting
|
TLO going 111111111111 again?
|
we might see some banshee harass from TLO as he's building his starport on a tech lab
|
qxc getting his helions as usual
|
TLO did get a banshee and is now moving to qxcs main
|
I like the German adjutant voice so much more than the English'. Not a fan Ali Hillis (aka Liara's voice actress from Mass Effect).
|
stream lags again, looks like 1st banshee died but second one is on its way
|
qxc also has a cloacked banshee in tlos main, but tlo has a lot of turrets and a viking
|
qxc has a very nice banshee control and manages to get away
|
TLO gets turret range upgrade and qxc gets a raven. Both deflect the banshees
|
seems like qxc has done more damage with his banshees then TLO
|
meanwhile, TLO expanded to his nat
|
Funny how every one hypes the german unit sounds. I get that for non-germans they must appear archaic and rough and so on.. quite similar to the metal umlaut (Mötley Crüe, Motörhead), but i can assure you for me as a native speaker the unit sounds are pretty laughable.
The SCVs for example mostly speak in a Berlin-accent, which for me sounds just wrong. Also what they say is often plain dumb.
Also @locJ: Why do you spam this thread with so many single posts of whats happening, when a) two Streams are available b) VODs of the replays will be produced by drooL shortly after c) you could write your game summary in a single post, by using edit functionality? ?
|
but qxc pushes with marines
|
however, TLO already has tanks and manages to kill off qxcs army
|
another push from qxc is comming but tlo spots it with a banshee and is now moving his army to intercept
|
big battle in the middle of the map, looks like qxc killed of most of TLOs forces but a single clocked banshee forces qxc to retreat
|
Each player seems to have given up the harass and they're just slugging it out in the middle of the map now.
|
both players are rallying in units

this is a livereport thread
|
qxc is opting to get his third at 6 o'clock
|
I like that locJ writes everything. I have to learn and can therefore not watch the stream. His posts help me to keep track when I watch this thread from time to time.
|
TLO is containing qxc's third while tring to get his third at the southern gold location
|
I can't watch the vods since I'm at work. Keep it up locJ!
(as an aside this type of stuff is sort of what I'm used to from threads in the tournament section, e.g. all the GSL ones)
|
this is a livereport thread
orly? where does it say that? or did you just declare it to be one? 
I can't watch the vods since I'm at work
then you missed the concept of a "VOD" (which is a video on demand)
|
qxc drops 8 marines in TLOs main
|
qxc's unit ball is now pushing forward, will TLO manage to hold this ?
|

Just let him continue, some people like what he is doing, that is enough. It will not be that hard for you to just skip his posts.

Not everyone can watch the livestreams at the moment, some people have to work for example, but we still want to know the progress of the games. That's what the Live reports are for.
Thanks to locJ for the updates, it is much appreciated.

nice idea with the showmatch, pros should do this more often
|
qxc is now trying to take his gold
|
both players are playing a good positioning game

i have no ideea, stream is quite laggy. I think it was meant to make qxc unsiege

TLO is now ahead in base count as he took his forth

I strongly dislike your attitude towards the localized game sounds. Blizzard did a great job with that and while you are of course entitled to your opinion liking the english ones more, "laughable" is such an unfair and plain wrong description of the German sounds, it makes me somewhat angry. Ofc English has to better it's all cool and inernational, German sound sucks, blah, such a kiddie attitude calling German sounds laughable, how old are you, 12?
Not implying that German sounds are better, just defending them against "being laughable".

Every thread in the "SC2/BW Tourneys" sections of the forum is a live-report thread.
|
TLO is attacking qxc's main with siege tanks and marines
|
seems like qxc wasn't expecting TLO to come through the back rocks as TLO's tanks reach havoc inside qxcs main
|
|
Man, that was such a great game
|
|
|
Man I hope the game doesn't drop, TLO's a bit ahead of QXC, but after that failed push into the main, even if QXC did lose a few unit building structures, it can't just end here!
|
!?!? did someone gg or just disced?
|
Was a pretty cool tvt going on though :<
|
Looks like internet(or TLOs pc) won this BO7.
|
Wow that was such an awesome game until the net crapped out
|
I think TLO had this as his economy was much better.
|
Hope they dont rematch, it will just keep happening...
|
TLO-Qxc 3:1 TLO-TLO's PC 4:4
|
|
Well, Qxc was pretty much dead at the time of the freeze, I just wish we'd been able to see what Tlo was planning with those starports...
|
4 bases against 3 with both 2 mined out i guess
|
That game was like a SC1 match, action all over - not just a build up to a single doom battle.
Shame it dropped/we can't see the end
|
TLO 3:4 German internet takes the series, grats :D
|
Sorry guys we will try to find out whats happening - it started yesterday... and yesterday there was also a very short power outage (like a fraction of a second) in our whole house (or maybe a bigger area)... so right now there is a lot of things which could be the cause. For the last 2 discs the router didn't show anything odd in its protocol. So it might be a hardware issue. Will try to track it down but as I am no expert it might take a while.
|
Well technically it's just practise matches, so they should continue playing
|
It looked like TLO was ahead economically but his gold was almost mined out. I don't now what QXC's gold looked like so it wasn't clear if he needed his 4th quite as much as TLO did at that moment.
|
will finish later... sometime.
gg's
|
gg for both well played and insanely entertaining
|
gg QXC and TLO and thanks a lot for the showmatch I'll go back to work

Sorry for the crash problems, I hope to be able to fix it really soon so you have a much better experience when watching my stream.
|
It's all good TLO very entertaining, despite the crashes :D Especially since it was a spur of the moment thing!
|
Yea games were super entertaining. I am watching in class with no sound aswell.
No idea what the class was about lol
|
Very entertaining indeed. Mindblowing multitasking in some scenes. Keep it up TLO (and also qxc ofc).
|
holy crap i can't believe how awesome that blistering sands TvT was ... as a Terran I always hated blistering, but now I see it makes for epic matches because of the insane amount of positioning, scouting, army splits and drops you need to do. Truly blistering sands is a skill map, and I just realized I have none which is why I dislike the map =(
You guys just had to see it live to see how fast paced all the action was, so sick...
And although QXC was holding his own, TLO was slowly advancing his position around the watch towers and was 1 base ahead with around equivalent army (maybe slightly more?)...not that it was an unwinnable situation for QXC, but TLO was probably ahead with a 15-20% advantage...
|
Reps of the matches will come?
|
wasn't up for this so I'm assuming what I'm currently watching is a restream?
|
yo, sorry for the mediocre "live" coverage. i guess the DC's should be blamed rather than me but well. stupid work :D i'll probably make VODs of the remaining matches on sunday.

GOOOO Kevin you can do it!!!! I have faith in you!
|
nicely done! i love those phoenix clean ups!
|
Oh my, watching through the eyes of a genious is incredible. Even if you play on the fly and relaxed you have backup plans, perfect synergising stepping stones.. Well done!
The german sounds are extremely cool.
Was also wondering what this epic music is?
|
is qxc european now? hahahaha ^_^
waiting for the reps my loves!
|
qxc is living in Spain at the moment I heard?

I can only hope things like this become more commonplace.

Les reaplys? I only got to watch the first 2 games cause of school
|
Also hoping for replays Any ETA on all the games including the DC's?

Yesterday, TLO hit QXC twice on the ladder. TLO won them both.
