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?


Seeding randomly does not imply a legit tourney. Tourneys seed their brackets for different reasons. In this case, I assume, they did it this way to prevent team kills. And besides, if you think not pitting the ROOT members against each other means that they're stacking it in their favor, then doesn't that imply you think ROOT players are the best players in this tourney? I don't know about you, but I would like best players to make it furthest.

Great tech choice by CatZ. That was just perfect.

According to people in the Imbalance thread, it's because of the "threat" of phoenixes.

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


If youre going to quote me you can at least quote me correctly chobo, you cant even get that right can you?

Let me enlighten those that don’t agree with my opinion, this is a forum and if you don’t agree with what someone posts then don’t read it, simple, end of story. You can tell me that my opinion is wrong, shitty, blah blah blah, all you want, but the reality is that it still doesn’t phase me nor does it change my opinion.

Yes youre right, I am implying that the Root players are the best in the tourney. Which is a funny thing being that this is an invitational. Which further supports my opinion that this torny is far from legit.

I'm not sure why they said that either. I haven't watched a lot of games with the colossi and void ray build, so I don't know what the normal response is.

I'm assuming you're just quoting me and not necessarily questioning me.

It's an NA tourney only and Root is arguably the best team in NA.

What's the real reason you're butthurt?

CatZ should have used the banelings to destroy the pylon when Minigun trapped his units in the corner, then he could have done a runby with the speedlings.

First, learn to post correctly and not double post your fail attempt. The key word is "arguably" the best team. Judging from the Clan Wars they are far from the best NA team, sure they are a good clan but the clan war results speak for themselves.

Im done with this thread because the lack of wit from some of you posters is rather boring. Ive stated my opinion and defended it, thats all i can do.

Yeah he tried to be too cute with the banelings for too long. ;/

Awww...well-played by Minigun. CatZ just didn't play that correctly. Focused too much on the early attack that Minigun that managed to fend off really well.

g.g.

I honestly don't know why people fuss so much over trivial things. If a tourney brings in some good games just enjoy watching it =/

Spectacular early game by CatZ, but such a good response from Minigun (other than the attacking his warpgate and such) was too well done.

Yeah, I'm just confused. Apparently, the casters said corruptors are more normal, but mutas cut through voids pretty well. Catz played that game really well.
