Zelniq allows Kiwikaki to Archon Toliet him...In the second game, Zelniq didn't scout his base for proxy pylons, which was game over. Congrats to Kiwi.

ROOT hwaiting!
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Well, they were seeded that way. ROOT is putting on the whole show, so I guess it's alright if they see some sort of advantage. It's not like the other players had no chance.

Wow.
All ROOT semis, you say?
Bravo, bravo!

I hope this is a strong enough message to Kingston that ROOT are pushing hard just as eSports is b-b-b-booming.
Is it too outrageous of me to suggest that ROOT have qualified for a big title sponsor after this whitewash?

I still wish TT1 and incontrol could have hung around, I feel they were stronger players than their replacements, but all the same, a quick review of the top 200 for NA reveals that this tourney was fairly stacked!
Play the games!

Why do people keep saying this? Use your head. There are no team kills for ANY of the teams... not just root. You will notice none of the teams have any team kills until round 3, so how is it an advantage? They simply won their matches and played very well.

Blink Stalkers on Xel'Naga Caverns, moreso than Blink Stalkers vs. Zerg. Exploiting the low ground behind the rocks to the third was very smart.

Coincidence that a Root hosted torny has an all Root semi? I think not. Even though they hosted the torny they should have seeded the brackets randomly like a legit torny, instead of spacing the Root members out for the first few rounds so they didn't play each other.

What a joke.

Wow I already said this before... they spaced out ALL of the teams. They just avoided team kills which is GOOD. I think all the teams are happy they don't have to team kill until round of 3, and at the end of the day it comes down to the individual player. The Root players have just been playing solid and deserve to be where they are at. Stop complaining about it.

Whos complaining? Im simply stating a fact, a fact that clearly rubs you the wrong way. As I said, it should have been seeded like a legit torny, avoiding team kills being GOOD is your OPINION and you’re entitled it, just like im entitled to say that the seeding is a JOKE. Understand?

Oh please. They're all fantastic players. It's not a legit tournament because the brackets aren't random? Apparently you've never created brackets before lol. Stop whining and just enjoy the matches.

Smurf: It's a shitty opinion though and no one wants to hear it. It's not like they didn't have to win their games to get there. Really not their fault that Drewbie, CatZ, Kiwi et al are huge ballers.

You have an odd definition of "complaining" if you think "seeding is a JOKE" doesn't count.
