Well Ladies and Gentlemen, after a long weekend of amazing SC2 action, it's about time we added a few more players to the list of awesomeness as we it continues to grow. Our first Qualifier event saw a relatively unknown zerg player, WZP, prevail and earn his right to play in the main event, but here's some great players to duke it out with him, including of course, our RETURNING CHAMPION, who we are very excited will be returning to defend his title! 
PPGBubbles
White-Ra
CoLStalife
DignitasSjow
ROOTCatz
|
It'll be interesting to see how our champion deals with the new setup.
|
Ladies and gentlemen, we are both pleased and proud to announce our newest confirmations to the lineup, and after being sadly absent from the first Justin.tv Invitational, the first member of Team Liquid has arrived!
LiquidTLO
Inka
FXOptikZero
ThisIsJimmy
EGStrifeCro
I think the best part of this announcement is that I finally get to use the race icon in a post for one one of my events
|
Is it possible to sign up for more than 1 qualifier? The chat is not working for me for some reason.
|
Yes indeed it is maverick, although once you win one you cannot participate in another since you already have a key to the main event. Sign up for as many as you like and let the games begin! We'll expand the brackets as need be to accommodate more players.
|
When are the brackets set up?
|
Brackets are posted on the day of the event at the start time that is shown on the tournament info page.

With so many matches going on we couldn't possibly cast every match. So we are trying to get some additional casters for this one.

Don't forget to sign up for our 4th qualifier QPAD USA is giving a mouse and mouse pad worth 100$ as a bonus prize on top of the invite to the main event this week.

Good news! I can now officially announce that this event will also be covered by none other than our favorite high energy eSports commentor Mr John "TotalBiscuit" Bain! Get pumped! Lots of great high quality StarCraft 2 coverage will soon be here! Go watch some of his excellent commentary on his youtube channel, or more importantly his Justin.tv channel, right here on Team Liquid.net!
http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalHalibut or on http://www.justin.tv/totalbiscuit/
|
We have just confirmed multi-lingual coverage for our event. The Chinese caster miDnight will be joining us to offer some alternative languages for our viewers to enjoy, and also some more matches for those to watch if the either of the English casters are not in your game of choice!
We look forward to having him and the diversity that this will bring to our event!
|
Don't forget the 5th and final qualifier for your shot to play with your favorite pro and to earn some good money is this coming Thursday.
|
Damn, that invitation list is getting better day by day !!!!
|
Trying our best to bring you the best we can! Had a few players with a new conflict that will keep them from participating... however... their replacements are definitely of the same caliber... So without further ado the following players are no longer participating...
EGInControl
LGPainUser
EmpireDieStar
But in their places we have...
MTWDimaga
atnDarkForce
ColFireZerg
While our original participants will be missed, these new additions should bring us some great plays all the same!
|
Well ladies and gentlemen, we have confirmed a few more excellent players for our roster. Going to be rolling out the rest of this list as quickly as possible so you all know what to expect. Hopefully have a few more surprises for you all if all goes according to plan by the time all's said and done
MouzMana
RoxkisBrat_OK
ONENamhciR
FXOmOoNan

Khaldor has been confirmed for casting for our tournament and we are THRILLED to say the least to have him on board. If you are unfamiliar with his work he is the German caster that basically by many accounts saved Winter Assembly coverage wise from disaster.
|
More good news on the way!
|
Another day, and more players to add to our growing list. While with a level of disappointment have one more player that is being replaced in this list, we have even more new additions that are 100% locked in and ready to rock your world the weekend of March 18th-20th! Without further ado...

Will unfortunately not be joining us that weekend... But instead we now have joining us...

Well ladies and gentlemen, less then a week to go... four short day in fact until Justin.tv Invitational 2, presented by The Gosu Crew kicks off we're watching some of the best quality StarCraft 2 possible! Since we're oh so close here's some of the few players left on our list of confirmed invites to the main event!
VirusNaama unfortunately has decided to not participate in the main event and should be the final player on our list that is not participating.
But to ease the pain of such a great player's loss we have a pair of players straight from Mouz to add to our list and one more from the great Complexity Gaming!

One of our qualifier winners has been replaced with another strong performer from the qualifer events.
But in his place we have a few more excellent players to add to the list.
TQDante
BALLERTRON
xiWarden
FXOmOoNan
But as one final treat to the viewers of this upcoming event, our final confirmed player, a major star of the StarCraft 2 world in his own right, is......
EGIdra
With the addition of such an accomplished veteran of the StarCraft community, we feel that this tournament just got a whole lot more interesting and we're extremely excited for everything to kick off this coming Friday at 7PM EDT! Stay tuned and let's get ready to rock!
|
Such a stacked tournament, but bad timing w/ GSL finals and TSL starting, so I think this is getting a little overshadowed. 
Should be a great tournament anyway, and it'll fit nicely on my second monitor on Saturday and Sunday while TSL is on. Hopefully there will be VODs as well.
|
Funny thing about that is that when we originally came up with this date, neither of those events even had a schedule yet... But that's why we worked so hard to get such great players so that we can get a lot of players and ALSO why the event takes place over three days, the first of which has no conflicts whatsoever to get things rolling regardless.
And with our own casting team, TotalBiscuit, Khaldor, and miDnight it should be pretty entertaining and offer plenty of variety for all the viewers to enjoy while watching the matches of their choice! Get ready to rumble ladies and gentlemen because even with TSL there will still be plenty of awesome gameplay to enjoy!
|
Wow. really pumped for this. Looks awesome.

Thnx we worked pretty hard to bring you this event so we hope everyone will enjoy it. Don't forget that there will be numerous games being covered at the same time so if say our stream isn't covering something you want to watch you can head over to say Khaldor's stream and find one ya do.

|
justin.tv can afford to put more $s into prize money for all the sc2 traffic they get on their streaming service IMO
|
Last minute changes. Some players had anything from a family emergency to a health issue come up. TLO is one of those examples.
Dkim as for your statement that is your opinion but we are not part of Justin.tv outside of using them as a sponsor and streaming service so you'd have to talk to them about it. We are greatful to them for providing us with the prize pool they have along with the other sponsors that are listed.
|
Alright then, thanks for your reply, still a great lineup.
|
Just a reminder, this event is TODAY at 4pm PST // 7pm EST!
|

|
No GoOdy? Still great tournament coming soon
|
|
|
Goody is better than over half the players on that list, so I really hope he sneaks in.
The tourney looks really nice! I'm glad to see that Khaldor is casting it (whether in English or German).
|
We love the fact that Khaldor will be casting as well this weekend since we admire his amazing performances and hope to give him the best possible tournament experience that we can! Looking forward to everything tonight... less than 3 hours until go time!

whish khaldor would cast more in english he really is quite good

axslav vs mana
kind of crazy R1

hahahahhahaha khaldor is dissing idra and tlo for their lack of physical height...
|
wasn't he ill or something yesterday?

|
|
Khaldor said that he met Idra and thinks he's a very nice and cool guy. But as he saw him the first time he asked: "Who is that wannabe gangster with the leather jacket?"
|
Tyler mastered timings, he ripped Inka like laser precise.
1-0 for him

The game was long lost by then.
He was 10 drones behind, and 20 supply behind before that engagement.
He had no chance, hydras or not.

i think mass was too defensive when he sniped idras hatch - if he had just spam droned there he mightve won. its very hard though to call that without hindsight, but yea

It was 16 roach/9 hydra against 19 roach before the engagement. Didn't see the drone count, but he certainly had a chance there with that army.

Only 12 roaches were at the engagement, 4 back at home/on the way.
Idra had all 19 up front. Drone count was 40 - 30.

Khaldor confusing Hasuu with Hasu :D

I didn't catch the beginning of Tyler vs iNka game 3, but what happened? Tyler was like 5 seconds late on his cyber core compared to iNka's, and the advantage just carried over throughout the whole game.

Hasuobs is still in,
the Canadian Hasuu is out

Wasn't that.
Tyler a-moved his smaller army into a bunch of zealots, Inka flanked from side with collosi and it was over from there.

a-move would be actually better than what he did

Wow, destiny just pulled a miracle from behind after a failed proxy hatch with burrow against a toss who was back dooring him on shakuras.
|
I quite liked destiny's play with the burrowed roaches, it was great to see the P army get ambushed.
|
Should be casting tomorrow if my fever goes down. Seem to have caught some kind of Swedish Playgu.
|
The clutch burrow timing in destinys third match was totally crazy. I need that replay.
And then the magic: "Who is brat?"

Destiny playing BratOK , looks like he doesn't know who he is ^^. It's going to be brutal.

tyler lost, but hes not out.
theres a loser bracket dudes^^

looool Nony going for mothership rush in LB R1

I think Idra won his second series 2-0

Mana playing this too safe , He can just chrono one or two voidrays and go kill Warden

lol tyler doesnt even care.
like Oh, i'm going to mothership rush to give me a handicap, and then i'll just play a 6gate with blink never using that mothership xD

Destiny takes a game of Brat_OK :O. 1-0 destiny so far.

hmm destiny won the first game

lol bratok dropped a game xd
baneling mines wont work again^^ will be 2-1 bratok obv.

That first attack by Brat was really weird and sketchy with the 3 hellions on the lowground + dropship w/ marines on the highground.
|
Omg, why is Mana not getting Voidrays? Why does he keep getting Immortals? He has a Stargate!
Voidrays rape Thor rushes soo bad ://
I'm guess Mana hasn't been up against many Thor rushes ><, this is so Brutal, all he had to do was make 3 Voidrays and he would have won
|
voidrays are not too good vs thor marines - did you know?^^
|
he won anyways because that terran is awful

now we see what will happen to huk in 2 days.
1-0 already obv.
2-0 inc.

As opposed to Immortals? With that many Gateway units the marines fall too quickly to kill Voidrays, there just aren't enough and Voidrays take down Thors sooo fast it isn't funny
If he built Voidrays instead of Immortals that would have been over after his first push

you focus the voidrays and thats it.
immortals are much more useful in a gatemix vs marine thor scv. i cannot explain why, its just true.
didnt saw the midgame though i gotta admit :/

Anyone know if warden is warden from dota/hon?

@Dommk
yes of course, maybe VR are better vs this combination, I haven't tested it yet. But I didn't make voidrays also because I did not know if its thor rush incoming or normal safe play, because I also saw 2 vikings already out, so it would be pretty bad to make voidrays vs vikings.
|
steven is on far positions against bratok on metalopolis in game 2.
|
When Khaldor had a lower overlay up while showing his desk, the way it was all positioned made it look like "Justin.tv invitational own3d" (w/ owned on a 2nd line below).
Got a good chuckle out of that.
I really like Destiny's +1/+1 before Lair build for ZvT. I caught a few of his practice games against ROOTkitty and it seemed pretty strong.

did you intentionally sacrifice your first two phoenixes to kill off the raven?
great play by the way, espectially the first game. i was looking at that scv tank marine banshee push and thought 'oh shit this is going to be hard for mana to hold' and then you just killed him. lol.

Not harping on you for that, I meant making Voids when he was just down to Strike Cannon-Thor/Marine. Doesn't even matter if he gets 1 Viking out by then, Voidrays do too much damage and he doesn't have enough marines to handle gateway/Voidray

wow tyler loosing to some random

zzz
Tyler losing to 3 roach rush from wzp, I guess he doesn't read TL strat forums enough or he would have expected that
(wzp is the one who originally made up and posted that build)

3 roach 10 zergling rush works even at pro-level. Who says Zerg has no viable all-ins? And yea, wzp was the guy who made the rush famous even.

it seems that tyler didnt know wzp :o

Destiny totally had bratok done in the 2nd game and then completely fell apart.
I don't think talking on the phone and answering the door while he's in a game helped, but still. He should've had bratok 2-0 . Super depressing to watch. As the game is slipping from his hands you can hear some girl beside him asking "why are there no letters on your keyboard, herp"

He was maxed on 5 bases against a 3 base terran and he didn't do anything. He had like, 12 ultralisks, a handful of muta, and a bunch of lings and he just ran them around. Brat dropped him and he fell apart.

Yeah he is answering to his girlfriend when he is playing, how many times does he gets the chance to play against brat_ok. If I would be playing him i would even kick the cat out of the window.

he was overagressive a lot, didnt drone up.
too allinish gamestyle, no solid thing tbh...
10 games between them and from then on bratok wont drop a game again. pretty unusual style.
€: now see cloud 2-0 time^^ 99% sure!

Well brat dropped him and killed his pool and he didn't realize until he had been trying to build lings for a long time unsuccessfully. That was a result of losing it before he had to answer the door and then coming back and forgetting it was dead.
I still think he could have won if he'd had more banes in his comp early on or if he'd denied that 4th base with his ultras. But its easy to say that when you are not the one playing bratok.

Diabolus keeps on trolling...
I really thought Destiny had that game on Meta. Brat_ok's drops were insane tho.

Are you trying to get banned? This blatant eu >na trolling is getting really annoying.
Nevermind that, everything you just posted is 100% false. He was not overaggressive, he didn't underdrone, he wasnt too allinish, and he had already beaten bratok in the first game.

Na? I don't even like destiny, but he had that game 100% in the bag and allowed 2 drops to completely turn the tide of the game. 2 drops killed like 3 queens, a spawning pool, 20 odd drones, and a hatchery while Destiny was maxed, which gave brat_ok all the time in the world to finally get his 4th up.
Also, for brat_ok already dropped a game to him. It's 1-1

No, he definitely asking to get banned. His previous post shows it.

Yeah, pretty spot on summary. 3 pronged 5 marine drop in every mining base, and steven was on a downhill from there.

Ouch, bratok goes hellions to deny scouting and then does a maurader hellion push into destiny to end it pretty convincingly.

Destiny lost to marauder/hellion.

He played qualifier tournaments and now he's playin for quite some money.
Chattin up his girlfriend during the tournament is just stupid. There is no other way to say it.
Especially when he had good chances to take this Bo3.

mana is playing not hasu. Khaldor is failing : D
(at least according to the bracket)

i must say tyler played very poorly:S moving out with small forces losing lots of sentries / sentry energy. I mean why even play a little bit risky vs a player that u know ure mechanically stronger then.

bascially all i said is true oO
his attack had to kill bratok or at least damage him a lot. he didnt, wasnt insta 200 again but stuck on ~168 i guess, which is necessary for Zergs.
who are you to tell me im wrong? oO

Bleh, steven should have had that 2-0 easy. It's a shame to see him get knocked out due to getting distracted.

Woah, when stalkers blink it makes colossi lasers look funny

Look like Idra vs Drewbi will be on Ascend's stream for those who are interest by this game.

WB 3 will most likely be:
moonan vs slush
attero vs kas
mana vs minigun
idra vs drewbie --> epic
hasuobs vs bratok --> epic
socke vs cloud --> epic
optikzero vs namhcir (?)
darkforce vs gretorp (?)

wtf if hasu beats bratok this would be HUGE
|
Errrr how is it huge? A top European players defeating another is not huge? And Hasu has a good PvT

Why does the bracket show Tyler beating wzp

Not really, bratok has been very inconsistent recently and yes another top levelish EU player beating another in a BO3 isn't exactly a big deal

wow, this tournament makes me so pumped up for TSL and NASL
too sad ukrain/russia seems to be unplayable to US
|
Too bad destiny had to leave :[
Btw isn't it weird that the most popular streamer in this justin.tv tournament uses own3d? ^^
|
Rofl, Avilo so sad. Socke clearly doesn't respect him enough to even give him an answer LOL
|
Mouzmana forfeited due to time?
Avilo being outplayed by and BMing Socke in the meantime
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whines about balance then doesn't gg while facing one of the most respectable Protoss players in the world. Really, Avilo?
|
"let's go proxy banshee and pull more scvs" was a good answer :D
|
Jesus christ avilo is such a dumbass... Going proxy banshee into five starports, then pure banshee and viking and pulls scvs aswell. Then complains to socke about the matchup :|

does it surprise you the way avilo was playing and then when he loses even starts to whine?
what a dick

love socke's sarcasm
|
socke getting a bunch of observers with observer speed was really nice
avilo mass starport is fucking terrible
|
|
|
|
|
aviolo clearly needs to be in the nasl with his top lvl play!!!!!
'/irony off, understand why he aint got a team.

what did avilo say ? only caught the very end of it

wowww avilo so bm... who complains about balance in a tournament. only idra is allowed to do that because hes got the skills to pay the bills and back it up.

At the start Socke did a super fast expand (right after gateway) and Avilo did a Proxy Starport with Cloaked Banshees (tried to get an easy win I guess)
Then said something like "fast expand with an observer out already, must be a good life )"
At the end after Socke completely outplays him and crushes his lame mass Starport Banshee/Viking/SCV-allin build he said "So what do you think?" "Of this matchup"
Socke replied by saying "lets proxy banshees and pull more scv's mb" (something like that anyway)
Then Avilo just kept asking if Socke felt the match up was balanced, like over and over and over. Socke didn't answer him and Avilo leaves without a GG.

how did avilo get so many votes in the nasl thing? dont understand

Does anyone know which Europeans already forfeited?
I think many will do if they get knocked down to loser bracket because of the time and the lag as well.

Thanks to athene actually. He was vote Rigged to the first spot because Athene tried to spell out his name using different people. Hell will freeze over the day Avilo actually manages to get 7000 different people to vote for him

Proxy starport into 5 port banshee with scv-train and hidden expo. That's like the most gimmicky random b.s. ever. How can you possibly complain after playin that? :D
|
|
|
IdrA stomping Drewbie. My homeboy. <3
|
+ Show Spoiler +yeah, kas and bratok complaining about lags a lot, seems like russia and UKRAIN are unplayable to NA and KR :/
|
IdrA taking Drewbie out 2-1 due to failed cheese.
|
So glad idra punished drewbie for that shit. 
|
United States1073 Posts
IdrA holds the bunker rush and counters drewbie with speedlings and IdrA wins!
|
attero taking out kas? didn't expect that. quite impressive
|
that was really sweet to see drewbie owned by IdrA there, justice for the zergs atlast
|
w0ot, go idra, beating the cheese.

Lag on kas side and all-in on atteros. At least the first game, didnt see the third.

Just bring all the SCV's and get it over with. Idra's not someone where you can go halfway and then hope to climb back up after it fails. Go big or go home!
|
Idra 2-1 Drewbie
Drewbie did MakaRax on IdrAs 3rd, very good defence by IdrA.
IdrA pushed with 10 speedlings, drewbie didnt block his base and GG'd
|
yeah drewbie definately outclassed there
|

Agreed, even just bringing half of them could have easily changed the outcome of that game. Although I'm glad he didn't. ^_^

Props to Drewbie for still gg'ing after the third game.

These kinds of pushes are much harder to defend than to actually do. Sucks for Axslav since he out classes Avlio soo much and still loses to just 1a

Yeah, he just all-ins on 1.5 bases at most, agianst zerg and protoss, then he'll split the map against terran and never attack.

Avilo really makes me respect the hard work, dedication, and game knowledge it takes to get to 4.2k masters as a T.

I just want to comment on the great quality from Ascend's stream. The small overlay with the score is really sleek (the color of the player fading to the middle is a great touch) and the little pullouts that were used in the games to show the players' ladder rank and such were amazing touches. It reminded me of actual player profiles in basketball or something (sorry, I'm watching the Mavs and Spurs at the same time, haha).
Basically, I'm really happy with how quickly the quality of casting is improving. My hopes are high for the future.
And, JTV, you guys are doing an awesome job as the de-facto SC2 stream site. On top of that, this tournament is pretty damn awesome. Great job!
My only complaint is that you really have to make your iPhone app free again so that I can watch all my favorite players on my phone. D:
Edit: Also, I'll comment on what everyone else is, too: avilo? All-in? I totally wouldn't have guessed that! (/sarcasm) I eagerly await his next troll, Terran-is-totally-underpowered post.

I understand you can't really whine about cheese as it's part of the game right, and that discussion could go on forever, however I hope to god avilo does not get picked for NASL or any other tournaments, because in my opinion it's not enjoyable to watch someone play like that.
Surething he plays for the money etc etc, but comeon man the fans are a reason why these tournaments happen and without any facts I'm sure that many many fans do not enjoy this kind of gameplay, it's plain boring.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Prime dropped bitbybit.
And I gotta agree Ascendtv's overlays are pretty slick, I'm digging it. Also Thundertoss' commentary is golden as usual.

Not going to LR, but game 1 axslav vs avilo.
Axslav opens 3 gate expo, get some sentries then robo then 2 mor gates. Avilo, goes rax (reactor) --> factory (T)--> 2 port. Gets 1 raven, like 5-6 banshees, 2-3 tanks and around 15 marines i think. What looked as an all in becomes a BBBP with all his SCVs.
Axslav get good FFS, but PDD just makes banshees kill stalkers. Axslav pulling probes, immortals pops out and manages to kill all the ground force, but the 5 banshees remain which make Axslav gg after a helion comes killing the rest of his probes.
Supplies at the end were like 30 avilo and 6 axslav.

No, he was just let go from the team, I believe. It was all Prime's decision as far as I know (or at least from what the initial news post said).

The quality of their stream is amazing, and you're right, they've added some really nice, personal touches.
The only thing lacking for me is enthusiasm in their casting. I would rather listen to Artosis (an unfair example, I know) with no fancy overlays and in 240p.

I'm going to play the devil's advocate here and say that having some variety in terms of styles is interesting and so NASL can use a player like avilo. Cheering against a player brings in the viewers just as cheering for his opponent does.

Yes, when you don't attack Terran after killing whole his force without any loss on your side -_- Also having inferior (WAY INFERIOR, 1-2 vs 3-2) upgrades and only 2 Colossi then getting hit by 2 EPM certainly destroyes an Protoss army and makes it look imbalanced,
same story goes for 3-2 Protoss vs 2-1 Terran and Terran getting hit by storm... or a good amount of Colossi.
Won't talk anymore about balance here.
Khaldor doing an awesome job, keep it up!

No, let's not encourage that sort of idiocy. The goal of the NASL is to promote eSports, not to give people like combatex a platform to shit on.

its not interesting when the guy only has a single build to do, being abusive and all-innish. Thats not variety. combat ex cheese has more variety :E

It seems people were excited by that just because nukes & BCs vs. Carriers are rarely seen or used - like I said, variety of styles helps.

Yeah, Avilo played really well. That banshee + viking combo to snipe observers is really and so annoying for the toss. Axslav just responded correctly getting 3 stargates asap. Then he just expanded a lot, he was on 7 bases to avilo's 4

Very poorly executed. Teching to that much air just leaves you wide open for too long. He needed to do some early pressure or more eco damage with his first banshees.
I like mass T air, but that was just not the way to do it.

Probably needs to be more gradual, I think he was banking on the map control gained by the banshees to just tech super quickly, but that timing window (even without Blink Stalkers) is still pretty harsh

He knew when he would be adding Starports. Guarantee you that.

He cast with Day9 , was pretty good, but anyone who casts with Day9 is good
sounds good lol

i think playing Avilo's sky terran strategy confused Axslav in his pvz. void/stalker/templar just seems so strange.

Great first game between strifecro and axslav.
But I think He should have boosted out 4-6 carriers instead of the void rays.
Together with the +3 air and the mothership he already had...

Takes about 10 apm to blink stalkers and walk a collosus up a cliff. I should have built zero tanks like the first game, but still learning/re-learning this sky strat. Well, not zero, but yeah, I made too many mistakes.
|
That vortex was so fucking good by Axslav.
|
Beautiful archon toilet by axslav, kills everything, including strifecro's gold and 4o'clock base. He already has enough for a second vortex
|
Wow that was painful, watching all the corruptors just sit there after the vortex ended.
|
Lol PvZ. Just because Axslav was on two bases doesn't mean he's behind; his units are a lot better in fights than Strifecro's are.

is that the lsat game, the final?

Still can't believe Destiny lost to Bratok on metalopolis. On 5 bases, hive tech against 3 base terran with 1 almost mined out and lose ... He had it and losing it just sucks

Dont forget 2 PM EST Saturday!

I guess being dropped in three places simultaneously plus his outside distraction was too much for him to concentrate well. Too bad it didn't work out for him.

O.O that is a reallyyyy nice list of players. i will be watching the last 2 days.

Thanks for watching the first night of the Justin.tv Invitational, presented by The Gosu Crew in coordination with our sponsors Zowie Gear, Justin.tv, QPadUSA, and SplitReason.com. We'll be starting up again tomorrow at 2PM EST, 19:00 CET, with continuing coverage from our diverse and amazing casting crews. And if he's feeling better TotalBiscuit will also be joining us as well to round out an already impressive list of casters.
Here's to hoping for another great day of matches as we march onward to determine our 2nd Champion!
|
So where can I see the exact scores? They should be posted on the bracket if it's a bo3/bo5.
I'm surprised Kas lost to Attero. I wanted to see him vs IdrA ^^
|
All the matches were Bo3 tonight. Bo5 rounds start with the later rounds... and as for results, just click on any match on the bracket page and it'll bring up the player results for you as every game was reported when completed.

That vortex was so fucking good by Axslav.
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.

You can see the replays as the players report them, click on the matches in the bracket:

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

From IdrA's twitter:
playing justin.tv league in 10 minutes. definitely more interesting than TSL3.

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

So I idrA got all those upgrades, overlord speed, and that amount of banelings.
Is he really that allergic to a 200/200 drop upgrade that allows his banes to be unblockable by forcefields? Very disappointed in that regard.

Dunno what games you were watching, but idra just kinda threw those away; there was really no reason not to get drop tech, especially after the first round of forcefields. Dunno if idra forgot or just didn't care.

oh boy... i fully expect idra getting knocked out of TSL by cruncher in the first round

Wow, forcefields really shit on ling baneling. Don't really know what Idra was doing there, but his engagement was really bad. Shouldn't have gone to that game anyway, the second game was painful to watch with the whole forcefield on the ramp 4gate thing going on. Seems like Idra's words about PvZ being unwinnable are showing their truth in the recent days.

What works most of the time, Roaches with Corruptors would have stood a chance, a far bigger chance than what he did.
Ling+Banes is not going to work against Storm, they all blew up in 0.9 seconds, barely anytime to react for Idra.

Feeling so much nerdlove for Minigun right now, that was seriously beautiful to watch. Gogo Minigun!

Yeah especially in the first big fight, Mini FF'd his units into a ball and Idra just ran his lings and banelings around in circles until they all died. At least retreat them at that point :/

I don't think you actually watch PvZ. Roach/corrupter gets wrecked constantly, and Idra tries it all the time as well. The outcome would have been no different.

Sad that Idra lost that 3rd game, but I'm pretty sure if he had just retreated those lings/blings until the FF fell during the first push by Minigun or researched drop he would of won it, or atleast had a much better chance.
Or if only Miniguns push came a minute later Idra would of had broods out. :-(

Mini totally faked Idra out. First win he cancels his expo and four gates. Second win he gets a couple of DTs. Idra gets detection but Mini goes for storm while scouting with fake phoenix the entire game.
Kind of funny because mini played idra on the ladder the other day and idra was rolling him. Methinks idra won't underestimate him should they meet again.

lings n banes dominated minigun on ladder when idra played him, so i guess he was just hoping that itd work again.

Idra's good but at this point he's around the same skill level as a lot of people. He himself has said he stopped practicing seriously till changes are made since "the game is a joke". So while his ceiling might be higher than a lot of these players, currently he's nowhere near that ceiling and beatable quite regularly.

yeah except ladder games are worthless compared to an actual tournament result, which is all that matters anyway. Idra might have beaten h im 100 times in ladder, but he lost when it counted most.

IdrA made a huge mistake in the third game early game, losing a ton of lings for free. He also lost a ton of units trying to fight the forcefield donut.
I think if he hadn't made those mistakes, he might have taken that game.
IdrA might end up playing Cruncher in the LB next round - TSL3 preview, anyone? another ZvP, that will be pretty tricky.

Perhaps so but laddergames is where you experiment and try different things. Tournaments is what matters the most, that is where you bring your best play and best strats.

Guess he was trying to wear out minigun's ff's, but ran out of larva first and ended up with the protoss ball in his base. Still really just lackluster performance by idra, there was no reason for him to lose that.

mini just played a very good g2-g3.

Yes, i realise. i was just trying to state that any given set of matches doesn't need to show who is the better player. I find it abit silly people are saying player x or y is clearly superior because he won a series.

Yeah what a fun game. Both players drop below 30 supply and they rebuild up to around the 150 mark or so. Getting drops and taking that 3rd expo really guaraneed the game to Strife as it allowed him to go on the offensive without having to worry.

Great play by Drewbie in that game, Mana is a great P
|
Wow, I've never seen Mana tilting - I really don't wanna bring imbalance talk into this, but after this match I seriously question the necessity of amulet removal.
|
Well played from Drewbie.
The P that cry imba is so funny xD
edit : it's Mana, wow.
|
That game was incredibly awesome. Drewbie built like 10 planetaries (lmao) and just did good job killing Mana's expos. Mana on the other hand had like the best storms ever. I'm glad I'm actually not watching only TSL now.

Hehe, I have 3 streams of JTVI, Idra's stream, and the TSL stream open. Just switching based on what games are being played. ^_^

hahaha nice preview for your tsl match i reckon

Idra vs Drewbie now on one of the GSL maps which name i cant remember, its not Terminus so
|
IdrA v Drewbie on TB's channel - shoutcraft
|
Also on khaldor's stream.
|
Haha idra crying as always xD
Great play by Drewbie, woot.
edit : idra is here \o/
|
IdrA 0-1 Drewbie, good long game. Drewbie has just been impressive overall, i thought Idras thousand or so Mutas would choke him to death but he fought well
|
I'm wondering if those flyer carapace upgrades truly aren't worth it, even in a long game like this
|
Marines are the counter to anything they can shoot, it seems!
GG Drewbie having his revenge!
|
Idra - "this is so silly"
Drewbie - "yea"
Idra has left the game.
|
Idra crying after every single game he loses gets lame over time.
Socke in winner bracket final against Attero btw.
Attero is surely the surprise of the tournament.
|
Wow first time I see this factreactor constant harass.
|
idra just quit xD
Well played by drewbie, he has improved a lot.
|
:DDDDDDDD
haha i love IdrA ;d
|
Better luck next time idrA, was root.ing for you.
|
yeah idra is dominating the scene hahah
|
I don't think drewbie played well in that game. Everything got scouted and his hellions didn't do nearly as much damage as they could have.

I don't agree. They forced idra to use all of his larvas into zerglings, non stop. (I guess he killed a few drones when his banshee was repaired and came back but biscuit missed it, not sure).
That's why idra left the game, he knew how much behind he was.

They constantly killed zerglings. No larva, no zergling mass, no droning. Pretty much just stalled idra's game for an easy stim/tank push.
|
Sure they are pretty much guaranteed to do that if there's no spine crawler. His banshee did almost nothing too.

classy idra, doing what he knows not prolong the game when he know it's lost and raging -,-

the root of all idra's problem is... root! (minigun, drewbie, kiwikaki)

drewbie so good, really great to watch him plow through the loserbracket like this! Gogo drewbie!

Hopefully bratok wins this so we are guaranteed a PvT final.

Holy mother of all EMP's by BratOK, caught like 5 Sentries!!

what... minigun is a top tier protoss :/

These two are so evenly matched lol.

Brat_Ok and Minigun make for some awesome games. Really entertaining to watch.

wow, what a fucking series. very impressive play from both

GG Brat_OK! I love his ghost play.

Wow, look at that unit lost counter. Minigun losing twice the amount of resources.

Ahh damn Mini you played really well, BratOK is a beast Terran and you hung in there every step of the way!

What an awesome 2nd day of our event. Thanks everybody for coming out to watch even with the TSL event going on with our man Day9 casting. We at The Gosu Crew did our best to bring you top quality matches and streamers, my only disappointment for the day was that Idra/Cruncher just kind of escaped my casting crews because of Idra's desire for speedy play.
Regardless, we're set up for some amazing concluding matches for this event tomorrow afternoon/evening. We switch to a Bo5 format for our concluding rounds, so get ready to rock! It's going to be a wild ride!
2PM EST/19:00 CET we will finally decide our ultimate champion! Wish all my remaining players the best of luck!

From my viewer perspective you guys did an awesome job. One of the best tournaments I have seen for some time.
We need more tournaments that offer competition between NA and EU players.

As a zerg player, watching the replays Minigun does definitely outplay Idra in both of his wins.
Mini's first win (MC build of fake exp with sentry heavy 4 gate) caught Idra fairly off guard (had considerably more drones than probes) but he still could have survived. Mini even wasted quite a few FF IMO but Idra didn't react that great. He saw Mini move out, he could have baited some wasteful FF along the way. When Mini chose his spot to engage, yes he was close to the ramp to FF but he wasn't that close to damage anything when he walled himself in. Idra could have pulled back with his lings and waited to engage as the FFs dissipated. He could have done more to try and go after the proxy to stretch out Mini's forces.The only "bad" luck that Idra had in this matchup is that he set 7-8 drones to build just before Mini moves out "7:50." Idra even had his baneling nest down before seeing the army and his +1 attack gets done in time. Idra misses the opportunity for two larva injects while setting up for the fight. He has 250 minerals before the engagement that could have started some spine crawlers (1 less drone made = 2 spines near the ramp.) At the point that Mini has shot his load of FFs, Idra still has 20 zerglings running around doing almost nothing against the FFs, all 3 queens still alive, and 400 minerals (that again, could have started some spines). Against 7 stalkers, 4 sentries (only 1 w/ energy) and a proxy only just finishing. 900 minerals when Mini starts to warp in zealots for reinforcement (think spines would have done well at that moment?)
Game 3 (Fighting Spirit): Since it's longer, I'll keep the specifics more vague. I liked Mini's decision to show the same opening but actually do the FE this time. Clever for a BO3. Again, against a FF heavy army Idra just tries to run his army in rather than pull back after baiting the FF and losing a few zerglings. The first main engangement, idra detonates 5 banelings to kill two Zealots that would have been surrounded anyways, then loses 7 banelings without them doing any damage at all because they pull back too late after the slings are dead. He's scouted the entire game from an observer that constantly sees his army, sees when his 3rd goes up at a good time. Idra doesn't see Mini's third until it's well established (although he could have assumed it was there since the army pushed away his Ovies to clear the area). 13 minutes in and Idra has never had a considerable harvester lead. Mini even pulls ahead in harvesters when his third is up before the biggest army engagement. So Mini has the better scouting all game, is always ahead in tech, supply, and IMO army composition. Add that with Idra not outperforming in any battles.... and how can anyone argue Mini doesn't deserve those wins?

FF yes, but the Archons weren't even necessary after Mini won the large army battle. Those templars could have died and made no difference. Mini made a good front wall, but could have saved another 10 supply or so in stalkers if he dropped two more on the left where the banelings got next to the army and then psi stormed.

Thank you very much, TotalBiscuit! Brilliant.
Would love to see the other casters to put up VODs as well.
|
So final games startin in half an hour or what's the plan? i'm gettin confused with all the timezones.
|
If u are confused about the timezone, look at the upcoming events section in the right-nav. As of now it says "2h 14m" away. The final games will start at the same time as the TSL

Thanks. I've never noticed the upcomin events timer before. Shame on me :D

We are going to Game 5 in the Socke vs Attero WB finals match... VERY exciting PvP matchup (yes it can be entertaining... these two have just proven that in this last game ;-))

So, please can somebody post an update? Was watching TSL all the time. Thanks!

Same here! :D
But i watched a bit on my second screen. So Socke beat Attero 3-2 in the winner brackets final after being 0-2. Attero beats Brat_OK 3-1 (?) in the loser bracket final. So the overall final is Socke vs Attero again!
btw: who is Attero?
edit: And it's a normal bo5 without a advantage for Socke! Khaldor just said it. That's strange imo.
|
now it's the same as the wb finals again? no advantage for wb final winner?
|
This is looking like Attero's breakout tournament. Really good results for him thus far. It's interesting to see that in his NASL application he mentioned he recently moved from random to only protoss and that he expects to do much better now that he only plays protoss. It appears that he is.

If it's a standard double elimination tourney, Socke should only have to win 1 BO5 in the grand finals, while Attero should have to win 2.

Wow teamliquid.net hates me today for posting... or at least TSL does. Yes it is a regular Bo5 match today for the GRAND FINALS. They are now starting Game 1 on Metalopolis. Good luck to both players!

Wait what? That means if Socke loses this BO5, he will be eliminated after losing one series, which is impossible in a double elimination tournament.
|
Well done Socke!
It's sad that this awesome tournament is at the same time then the TSL! But we can all see the final at least! :D
And I am really wondering about the "only one bo5"! Socke should have had an advantage coming from the winner bracket.

In the heat of the moment btw I misspoke because I've been SOOO tired from this weekend. If socke had lost we would have had one mroe Bo5 match, but obviously that was not, in fact the case. Thanks for watchign everybody and we will most DEFINITELY have Vods of the event from all our casters posted when we have a chance!

Socke made it interesting with some excellent and unexpected counter-builds. Honestly those last 3 games were nothing on his winners bracket series against Attero which was unbelievably entertaining (at least after the first 2 games)

Sorry the thread was a bit confusing (and the brackets don't have scores),
was it 3-2 Socke v Attero and then 3-0 Socke v Attero (after he came back from BratOK)?

I have VoDs of everything I cast, a series every day will go up. Replays seem to be free-for-all, so plenty of floating around and no doubt people will cast them.

Thanks for the tournament! GG Socke!
@TotalBiscuit
Wonderful moment when you didn't realize that your microphone was still muted.
Meanwhile I was watching TSL and reading teamliquid forums when your overlay was on and music was played. Suddenly the music stopped, i tabbed back and there was no totalbiscuit talking. that was a kind of strange ;-). Than Booooom... the waterfall falls again.
Keep being so great (well you get even more better and better) and relaxed!
Sorry if my english is not that good.

I am currently working on acquiring the missing replay from the Idra vs Cruncher matchup as this particular matchup has lots of interest for obvious reasons. I'll update everyone when that is done and thanks for making this past weekend for The Gosu Crew the best one yet!
|
Wow congrats to Socke! He's definitely an AMAZING player.
Most surprise of the tournament to me = Attero. Very good job Attero for getting 2nd ! Really proved yourself against many top tier players like Brat_OK and moonan!
Of course, huge congrats and thanks to J.TV invitational crew :D Awesome tournament to watch and very well organized (except for the 1st day.. :D)
