So annoying trying to find the stream for Select and Cruncher and they won't even say. Nobody knows in the other streams as well.

You guys should try posting a list of all the streams...


edit: nevermind. still none of these streams are streaming it, so I guess it's just some random person streaming it.

That he has been playing for a month? I'm not sure. There is speculation that he actually played in the beta as well (some people said they saw him playing... maybe not consistently playing though, and has only tried to be pro for the last month). Since he has a reputation for lying (at least he does from what I have read) it's hard to say.

If what he says is true though, then yes he has been playing for about a month to a month and a half.

Lmao. The thing is that there's already been plenty of posts here stating that EU->NA is pretty much fine, while many people are obviously stating that KR-> NA is pretty bad. Don't get all bitter and sarcastic because you don't like the facts.

By plenty do you mean one? Here's a snippet from Socke's interview after winning the J.tv invitational last week (on NA server):


He’s got a good 4 gate build, I don’t know if he’s a strong player or not but he seemed to all-in a lot throughout the tournament so lets just play safe even though you’re not really able to do good 4 gate wars with the lag currently. That is what went through my mind.


If the EU-->NA lag is such that he can't even 4 gate properly, I would hardly call that "pretty much fine." It's evident from your posts that you are hugely protective of the Korean players, but stop being an idiot.


Ouch. If the EU->NA lag is that bad and the KR->NA lag is even worse, then that's pretty terrible for the KR players.

You're also neglecting to consider the time issue. This tournament is based around the SEA timezones (the admins stated as much during the first FXOpen invitational), so the Koreans are playing at a comfortable time while the EU guys have to play in the wee hours of the morning. This is obviously having an effect on their play, as Socke just blew a completely won game vs. Zenio by not reacting fast enough to the ramp.

Lastly, if the lag makes it so unplayable, and everyone has known about this since TSL last weekend, the Koreans could have simply declined their invites. No one is holding a gun to their head and forcing them to play. If they choose to compete, they have to abide by the tournament rules, which means playing on the NA server. Latency is just a side effect of that, so it's not acceptable as an excuse for losing.


I think it's fine that Koreans are in the tournament. The issue isn't about Koreans losing due to lag, my problem is that people are just blindly praising wins while determinedly ignoring the very real lag issues.

Also, I acknowledge that time is an issue, but it's not as bad as latency IMO.


But there are also people blindly disregarding these wins because of lag while ignoring the fact tht the other player deserved the win.

There is obviously lag but in a lot of these games, it is not the reason why they lost. People shouldn't use the lag as an excuse for a loss, nor should they ignore the fact tht lag is evident.

It's 5am over here in Germany atm, so it could be quite tricky for him to actually cast this if he has other important stuff to do either the day before or after

which is surprising considering ZvT was his best matchup when he was in the GSL and the recent patch didnt really do anything to change the dynamic except for the fungal buff...

You must be new to live report/tournament threads. People get excited when their favorite players win, and they also get excited when underdogs win.

I was expecting like a bc switch or something... and that suicide push was to clear enough supply for 20 at once... quite a disappointing end
