I mean in order to win he would have had to get past all the 3 Koreans.. squirtle ace and moon lol...
Koreans will continue to troll IdrA by following him to every tournament

With Clide and Zenio taking the lead.

GOGO MOON! I love to see players from other games that are successful in SC2. Shows how talented they are.

invasion of the fith race incoming... worship the moon!

If Moon beats Ace after many people agreed that overall he is on a lower level than squirtle and ace people won't say anything... but if he loses... PROTOSS IS OP!! I can't wait to see that.

I somehow seriously doubt that all 3 of them lost on purpose in the GSL so they can compete in the IEM once. Winning in Code A is the 1st step in getting into Code S which pays alot more than IEM. It's not like they can get back into Code A so easily after losing in the first round.

You all had better watch this live, because it will take ESL two days to get the VOD up ! And when they do post the VOD, they'll have an initial screenshot freeze that spoils the winner.
They really are on the ball over there at ESL.

C'mon MoonGlade, bring home the moneyzzzz.
|
Bleh, I don't want to get up that early, but ESL has been terrible about the VoD situation to be honest, so I might just get up for it. Honestly, this series is going to play into Ace's hands, unless Moon can tweak his timings on the hydra drops to line up with the later colossi of Ace compared to squirtle. This is going to come down to the elasticity of the PvZ builds both players have used to get to this point.
|
I want Moon to win this. But ACE looks so damn invincible. Let's just hope the games are entertaining.

There is no way they lost on purpose, cos their carrier is in Korea not in the West. Moon for example, he is RICH as fuck with all his money from WC3. What a few thousand USD from IEM can do for him?He switch to SC2 to begin a new carrier and for a new challenge. Thats true for all 3 of them, they just dont play SC2 pro for some quick cash. If so they are never gonna success. And Koreans are the most hard-working and determination gamers in this whole world.
I believe if you give any of them a place in Code A round of 8 instead of IEM champion they would go for it in a heat beat. GSL is basically running all year long non-stop with a ridiculous prize-pool. How many IEM we have in a year?
I strongly believe that if all of them was doing well in GSL Code A, IEM just gonna find some subs from Korea. Players with the skill of Ace or Squirtle can be found in every pro-house in Korean. Just look at that Slayers_Alicia guy. I beat he will crush almost all foreigners if you give him a chance :D
|
LOl @ a korean purposely losing GSL.. You do realise how freakin hard it is to get back into GSL right? You also know the shame for koreans of being knocked out of GSL or down from code S to A right and the pressure involved in such a situation happening? My gosh some of these comments are insane.
|
what time is this eastern time? thanks guys
|
|
Ah 8 PM on a Saturday night here in Korea. Suckers!
|
Haha Moon even looks like a Night Elf in that picture.
Ace should be favored but Moon is playing really well, he has a chance. I watched that epic game 3 vs. Squirtle, what a great job he did, he really made good use of his insane APM by initially getting his lings inside Squirtle's base and screwing up his mining for quite some time while building up his economy himself, that was huge in the game, and then he kept forcing Squirtle to respond to drops all the time instead of him having to respond to Squirtle crushing his bases, if he can pull off anything like that he's got a chance, but it's hard work LOL.
|
wtf is up with ppl who think they lost on purpose? Its much better for them and their career to get into Code S than winning IEM in terms of prize money and the skill level
|
even tho im drunk right now(sry)
go moon! fifth race =) pls win this tourney, i love you
|
Anyone know where I can find the IdrA vs Squirtle VOD?
|
It reminds wcg bw, all top spots are taken by koreans.
