There is no good usage of vortex.
vs Z roach/hydra its just vortex anywhere into his army, walk in, and win if you have more then 2 kolossi (im protoss).
Summary of the first day:
Hugest surprise to me was Attero and on 2nd place Minigun.
Attero managed to beat the almost unbeatable TvP player Kas (best TvP in europe with cloud). Even though Kas seems to play with huge lags from Ukraine, its still pretty tough to do so.
Minigun managed to beat Thisisjimmy - quite expected, but you still gotta do it. After that, he beat the quite good Ukraine Terran Strelok - well, of course also lots of lag included, but that doesnt mean hes a runover. Finally, beating MaNa in a PvP - MaNa losing 3-1 vs HasuObs and 2-1 vs White-Ra recently - but still Minigun did beat one of the best PvPs in Europe. The delay from Poland shouldnt be bad at all.
Destiny put up a rly great fight vs BratOK - he almost won it. Pretty unusual ZvT style ive never seen in Europe like that. ofc, BratOK is russian again and he might have lags, but i didnt expect Destiny to be that good.
And who is simonthegosu? unkown to me, but he does quite well in the lower bracket! So does Namhcir in the WB, even though he didnt take out a big name yet.
What do we have for tomorrow in the WB:
moonan vs attero.
i'd give a slight edge to moonan, even though attero showed some nice, but quite abusive play vs a weakened kas.
idra vs minigun.
ye, minigun did well. but its idra. the gracken. idra takes it.
BratOK vs Socke
this one is pretty 50/50. i dont know how the delay from russia is compared to ukraine, but it should be a great fight after all. hoping for socke to take it.
Namhcir vs Darkforce
Probably the weakest duel, since it was the weakest bracket by far. Didnt expect Namhcir to be here, didnt see much from him at all. Darkforce plays better and better in the last few days, being almost on morrow/dimaga/ret level [at least in ZvP]. Darkforce takes it.
in the loser bracket the favourites right now are:
drewbie, Mana, Kas, Strifecro and HasuObs - probably Insolence and Cruncher, if they take out Hasu/Kas due to PvP/lag.

Nice roundup. I don't agree with labeling MaNa's PvP as "one of the best in EU" though. He's actually pretty weak in the matchup, his PvP isn't outstanding in any way. Socke, WhiteRa, Naniwa yes. MaNa no no.

Most of the casters don't have an EU account and it was a North American event from the start any EU or RU player knew about latency issues upon signing up and chose to fight through that in order to put on a show. In retrospec it probably doesn't help that Japan and many other countries are rerouting traffic right now internet wise would could be causing a lot of delays. However, that is only conjecture.
In regards to destiny he was eliminated from the tournament by ColRsvp in a 2-0 last night.

defloss / forfeit?
No, destiny played all of his games.
You can see the replays as the players report them, click on the matches in the bracket:
z33k.com/z/jtb
However, rsvp didn't report with the replays, so once we have those replays I will add them to the bracket.

This is pretty unfair. Top players must show best games. And how you can show your best game, with uncomfortable delay. I think viewers want to see good games, not some kind of lol. PvT is matcup that build on micro, more then others. minimum Khaldor have eu account
PS:sorry if it's annoying.Is it really so important that one game will be held on the server ey
PPS:sorry 4 bad english.

well in his defense what else is he going to do?
in a straight up macro game he'll lose ^^

I never see minigun winning games against good players without doing some kind of unexpected early aggression build like blink stalker... very anti-climatic.

i guess from the players point of view if you can abuse something to win against someone who you would usually lose to go ahead, but if this play continues in all ZvP then i dont see this game as an e-sport
