Root Fighting, hope they win so they get in to the play offs.
|
Definitely not a match I would want to miss. If both teams bring their A game, then it's definitely going to be a close one.
|
Dam looks like good matches. I give the edge to the team that wins the PvP
|
jumping ship are we  ?
|
Wow... this is such a close match - this isn't going to be one-sided at all! These all feel like close games that can go either way to me - noone here is easy to call out as an obvious match-winner.
My Predictions:
TT1 < Kiwikaki PvP is really weird to call...
Sen > Drewbie (Blistering sands is awkward...)
Fenix < QXC I feel like QXC can put Fenix on the back foot by mixing a little bit of unorthodox strategy into his solid play.
KawaiiRice < Catz if they spawn cross... if they spawn mirror then I'm not so sure, but I think CatZ will have something up his sleeve for that awkward situation.
|
ROOT brought their best lineup for this.. this war is going to be epic as they always are whenever Fnatic and ROOT play eachother
|
This is gonna be so cool. I can't wait
My love for QXC and KiWiKaKi is paralleled only by my affection for Sen and... Stevy
|
This should be good 
I think it will go something like:
TT1 > Kiwi
Sen > Drewbie
Fenix < QXC
Then 4th I dont really know.. Never know what Catz is up to! ^^
|
Oooh, Qxc vs Fenix should be a pretty interesting aggressive game.
Good luck to take the 4th seed in GCPL!!!
|
|
|
No SLush. How come he never plays in clan wars?
|
 FnaticMSI.TT1 <Delta Quadrant> ROOTKiWiKaKi
 FnaticMSI.Sen <Blistering Sands>  ROOTdrewbie
FnaticMSI.Fenix <Lost Temple> ROOTqxc
FnaticMSI.KawaiiRice <Shakuras> ROOTCatZ
Ace: TT1 > Kiwi
It's gonna be a really close CW; I could see it going either way. Game 4 will probably be the decider of the CW with the map positions playing the role of X factor.
|
I can't even begin to predict these clan wars... Incredible matchups.. Kiwi vs. TT1 and qxc vs. Fenix no clue who could win those.
|
The winner of the CW will make the playoffs, such a close call O_O !

I'm really not sold on starting a zerg on shakuras over a macro Toss in Minigun. I recognize that Catz is good.. but he is certainly not any better than Mini.. combined with the fact that he plays Zerg. Right now, I just think the better money is in your Protoss player.
Strictly from a "vegas-style" perspective.
|
cross map shakuras favors terran more than close map in my opinion...

Fnatic is going to really have to bring their A-game to win against that line-up from ROOT. I can see Fnatic pull out a win here, but TBH I think every single match-up is going to be ROOT's to lose, except for maybe the PvP between Kiwi and TT1 since PvP is a toss-up. In terms of the other matches, Drewbie took out IdrA in TvZ recently. Qxc is incredibly good TvT, beating out players like Select in recent tournaments, and KawaiiRice seems to have a curse on him this GCPL.
But Fnatic is known for upsets - see the games vs. Liquid - so definitely not ruling out a Fnatic victory!
|
Sure gonna be an exciting clanwar to watch, both teams so good! I have faith in ROOT though, gogo Kiwi, drewbie, CatZ and QXC!
|
nvm gl both
|
go fnatic!

Go Fnatic! Go ROOT! :O
Kiwikaki -- Sen -- Fenix -- CatZ -- ACE!

This should be a good one to watch with so much on the line Good luck teams!
|
Wow, this is going to be sick awesome!
ROOT FIGHTING!!
|
Looks like Fenix won't be available for the match. Seems like a big blow to the Fanatic line-up.

My predictions. first map PvP so just put a guess there can go either way.
Blistering Sands and Sen will probably take this with some sort of agression.
I just picked qxc because I feel like his tvp is good but maybe I am wrong I can't remember how qxc's tvp is and I don't know much about lefnaij at all.
For kawaii vs catz I think this definitely favors kawaii especially if they get "close positions" and kawaii abuses it. Hopefully a nice tense long game but I don't see Kawaii losing this but we'll see hopefully a gg.
Overall I do think Fnatic will take this 3-1 with hopefully every game being epic :D

|
i predict fnatic 2:1:2 root. 2-2 go to ace match and then bnet stalemate.
|

Ouch, no Fenix really hurts.
Fnatic should still be able to take the win imo, but that definitely makes it a lot harder for them.
|
I'm rooting for ROOT. No pun intended.
Well, actually is kinda of intended...
Gogo ROOT!
|
Why does Catz's TLPD redirect to Slush? :S
Anyways hoping for ROOT to take this. I think they can do it, though its certainly gonna be hard for both sides. Also pretty hyped to see some JF PvT.

This is ridiculous.. now that the business end of the competition is starting these clan wars are getting even more epic! Seriously cannot wait to watch this!
and then EG vs dignitas!?!?! iNcontrol vs SjoW! Wow.. so epic!
|
We have an interesting situation becaus if EG beats Dignitas and we beat Root there will be a 4 way tie at 5-2 for 1st place.
~~!
|
Kiwi
Sen
Qxc
Kr
Ace will be sen and qxc or sen and kiwi

3-2 ROOT Depending on the Ace's either way expecting a close match.

Yes, if there's multiple teams tied, ranking is based on points

Don't think SEn is going to be available for the ace match (if it comes to it).

Nice. Both these teams are awesome. It's also interesting that Gretorp and Sheth are casting it.
|
Gah, can't wait. Don't care who wins just wanna see some baller games!
|
Hey guys love this tourney so far
Any chance next GCPL will be winner's league style or does the timing conflicts mess that idea up?
|
woah, JF is back?!?! since when? I'll definitely be tuning in to watch him play!
|
go ROOT!
Kiwi
Sen (sorry drewbie, dont like the map for you)
QXC
Catz

The reason I chose this format over winner's league is that you see less players & matchups. Think if one team all-kills, you're just seeing 1 player. This way you see 4 different matches and players.

What are the plans for and if there will be a season 2, more teams like fxo and millenium etc?

I'd prefer if they stayed away from Winners league unless they greatly expand the season and do multiple rounds like pro-league. Winners league doesn't really reward teams with good depth, just teams with a really solid ace or two. It's great when you have multiple rounds so you can mix it up because it's definitely more exciting, but it's not the best way to figure out who the best team is.
If anything I'd prefer Bo7 play over Bo5, but some teams would have huge trouble fielding 6 players.

Say what? .. Immortal Phoenix .. Whoa 1 base ownage hehe

Sheesh, that was brutal. Immortal Pheonix is such a nice build.

OMG I haven't seen JF play in such a long time! Can't wait for that. Too bad without shuttle/reaver JF is like 50% less effective.
Edit: The UFC fighter you're thinking of is Matt Serra.

Sen vs. Drewbie live right now.

Just started watching, whats the score so far?

Sen turns a dangerous bunker-supply depot rush into a quick win with zerglings and banelings against a supply blocked Drewbie. Tied 1-1.
JF, "everything that was wrong with Protoss" in BW, vs. Qxc, one of the most brilliant NA Terrans, now.

Really enjoyable to hear two commentators that represent each team. It adds a nice dynamic to the match.
Edit: Woops, I stand corrected.

Well played JF, well played.

Insane game between JF and Qxc. Phoenixes used to their potential against Terran!
Some mistakes by both sides but playing really cool
|
holy crap that game was goofy ~_~
|
The desync between the video and the audio is getting increasingly annoying. The moment it's noticed can't you just pause the video (e: by video, I mean replay.) for the two seconds it takes? It's honestly not that hard >.<
Great game by JF and Qxc though.

Wasted so many banelings on that rax when he could've just busted through the starport which just started building.
edit: gg. Poor play by CatZ. Congrats to Fnatic for making it to the playoffs.
|
Win by Fnatic. Qxc's loss was quite unexpected, but perhaps he was training for Fenix and wasn't used to JF's style. KawaiiRice finally breaks his curse for the win
|
Good series overall!
To bad for ROOT hopefully Fnatic can make up for it by playing JF all the time :D
|
|
|
Awww...I missed it and ROOT lost. Very, very sad.
|
|
|
|
|
missread I saw kr breaking backrocks and thought baneling busting his front would work for sure, wasn't expecting that wall, clicked on rax instead of starport with banelings T_T. bad play by me, great play by kawaiirice and fnatic, you guys are my 2nd favorite team, really hope you take it all, good luck in the playoffs!
|
Grats to fnatic. Didn't get to see the games, but I am happy for Fnatic but also sad for Root ;( My two favorite teams T.T. I wish both teams got into the playoffs!
Gogo Fnatic in the playoffs!
|
I thought jf stopped playing starcraft in general, is he going to be more active or did he just play b/c Fenix couldn't make it??
