Will this be played with the February Map Pool or the old map pool?

Yup, Rotterdam will be casting in English

Just a short question. I watched Sjow winning the Cup yesterday but he is not in the finals because he does not have enough points. Now that you have expanded the grid to 16players, wouldn't it be nice to guarantee the 4-5 Cup Winners a spot in the monthly finals? It feels wrong to not have some of them in the onthly final. Just a thought.
|
SjoW isn't there, that's too bad

We have 8-9 regular cups per month, unless you mean to only include the Sunday winners.
I agree it's a bit annoying to not have a winner in the cup (especially since he won the last cup), but had he played even 1 other go4sc2 cup this month, he almost certainly wouldn't have had enough points for the monthly final
|
Dimaga should have this, no problem
|
Dimaga didnt won any cup in ages dood, wake up
|
He came 2nd on Sunday, that's pretty good :>
|
hopefully players would choose new maps for their series ;P
ps funkay vs MaNa final would be hilarious ;P
|
Five zergs in the Top16 in a big european tournament? Are you sure it's not a typing error? 
Very interesting lineup with some of the normal big names likes Strelok, Mana and Tarson + some players you maybe don't expect in the monthly final. 
Gogo Goody btw!

There is still no zerg in europe who does better than him.
|
FYI Drafter dropped out due to school, he is replaced by Diestar
The finals start in 2 hours!
|
Wow so many Zergs are in the finals. What is going on? :D

No, as this is January's final it will use the map pool from Janaury. February's finals will use the new map pool!
|
To be fair they should not use the new maps for last month finals but I would sure love they did
|
rotterdam casting? awesome!
|
Prediction
Strelok 2-0 FallY Satiini 0-2 GoOdy Kas 2-0 AcRo DeathAngel 2-0 funkay Stephano 1-2 DieStar LoWeLy 2-1 MaNa Adelscott 1-2 Tarson Druzdil 0-2 DIMAGA
|
Stream is online !!
|
We start within a few minutes, just getting everything ready, sry for the delay, wc3 went a bit longer than expected :p
|
AcRo is actually a solid Protoss, really defensive Protoss who goes Fast Expo (mass Sentry) into a 3rd base with lots of colossi + phoenix.
|
Yay, five polish players, gogogo!
|
Fargo replaces Tarson who noshowed due to university
|
|
omg, where did all this zergs come from?
|
LoWeLy 2-1 MaNa
Buahahahahahaahahhaahahah Good predictions Naruto
|
Well my prediction weren't that off--;
|
and DieStar won 2-1, so another right prediction ;-)
|
i dont care about others dude cause its ULTRA easy to predict those but beting Mana to loose with some nab was mega funny shit

That "nab" beat White-rA / Socke in tourneys recently.. so yeah. And since MaNa's weak spot ist PvZ it was a reasonable prediction. And Stephano vs DieStar was not easy to predict, lol! Anyways, you are just trying to be a douche, so hf.

you can't say anything bad about a polish player without expecting duckland to go mad on you

I predicted that he might lose to LoWeLy, I could say worse things-___-;

yeah Diestar is very good except in finals, where he become nervous and loose quite often
|
I wanna see the new maps in action  Why aren't they playing on the new ones? Are the players voting them down because they don't have much experience on them?

Someone tell Diestar that not even MKP takes on Brotoss with literally pure Marines rofl

lol I actually couldn't stop thinking this.
Ah well, MaNa played amazing. Too bad his PvZ isn't.. great.
|
|
|
That game was strange. Well played by dimaga.
|
|
Man that was flawless play of dimaga..
|
Man, if only their voices were slightly deeper, it would sound like Arnold Swarzeneggar is casting these. Which would be AWESOME.
GET TO THE NATURAL.
Also well done by Dimaga.
|
Burrowed Roach traps are so fucking awesome
|
WOW im popular now cool
I know who Lowely is, to bad you dont know who Mana is. and yes his pvz is achilles point but still not that bad to lose with Lowely, so that prediction was just stupid for me THATS ALL!.....wow didnt know that was so important
|
Wow, blink stalkers vs burrow roaches was awesome.
|
I don't know who MaNa is? I think you don't know who I am... -_- lol. You are ridiculous.

and yes Naruto? i dont know who you are - should i?

I think all the players including MaNa know me. I don't give a lot about some fanboy who is just being ridiculous. As I mentioned LoWeLey beat White-rA / Socke in tourneys. He doesn't need to win all big cups. He's not even playing as long as most of the other players and still shows pretty decent results.
Anyway, as PredY said. I won't bother, just enjoying the games.
|
What a bad decision from dimagA.
edit : nevermind :D
|
Nice collosus timing by mana:D
|
DIMAGA!! DAVAY DAVAY ♥ :D! Nicely played!
|
AWESOME play by Dimaga :D i love when he go Macro-mode <3
|
dimaga looking much stroner lately, only toss to beat him in last few weeks was nani 2-1
|
i hope dimaga doesn't go too many all ins vs kas
|
I was amazed when i saw those 30 zerglings come in at the very end of the last battle, out of nowhere, destroying the last Stalkers/immortals.. Haha, awesome.
|
I get nervous each time Dimaga engage, it seems to be so close.
|
Hard time for zerg, Darkforce, Lalush, Ciara, Nerchio, Idra are more and more demotived, often rage-quiting, but here comes the Overmind from Ukraine...The last, the only, the superb Dimaga GOOOO. Fanboy forever if he beats the monster Kas
|
|
haha did rotti just read through this thread.. :D
i guess he ment the demu thread..
|
Dimaga has amazing creep spread. Best I've seen even comparing GSL players.
|
Oh man, fungal + banelings 
Brilliant play from dimaga.
|
|
FUCK YEAH Dimaga :D great game!
|
Holy crap. Dimaga is back and he is back with style.

But it doesn't taste as good as dimaga haha , this particular zerg ukrainien style...
|
DIMAGA definitely one of the best in the world. So beastly when he's playing his best game.
|
|
Damn Dimaga, you ballin'.
|
shit, dimaga winning on delta quadrant, well played
|
even pulling out the win on DQ...dimaga so sick today
|
Unbelievable ! he won that 2nd round, i was so sure he'd lose it.. (those 2 siegetanks killing his economy and zerglings/queens). Great micro with the banelings. Fantastic.
|
WOOOT, winning in this horrible map in close pos! That's awesome
|
Dimaga somehow got through that. I think the seige tanks at the end were a little bit far away from the thor/rines. Thought it was hard to tell from the angle.
|
lol kevins co caster is horrible with sc2 knowledge
|
Kas needed to play the 3rd game like MVP did. His push was massively greedy.

Kas has such a terrible TvZ, props to Dimaga for winning the tournament gratz.

Awesome job once again by rotti also!
|
gratz dima

dominating performance o:
|
Dimaga just put on a clinic of how to play Zerg. He just kept on doing everything right. Congratulations, well deserved.
|
I'm so happy for dimaga 
No more all-in like on metalopolis vs mana!
U're such a macro beast, and your game on xel naga vs kas was so sexy, those attacks on kas's gold with ling baneling roach infestor where so so nice.
So happy !
|
First time since like......ages ZERG in europe won something ... like money! WOW
Dimaga you are the best indeed !!!!!
