Hmmm... I don't see the full results anywhere in the OP which baffles me, only someone posted which player has how many wins a couple of pages ago. :s
Anyway, as I can derive from these standings Incontrol lost to Painuser and won the other games in his group? Man.... I thought incontrol was going to do well so I bet some money on him to win vs Painuser, now I come here and see he is first in the group and that is the only match he lost?
Sad panda ;(
Heres some more comprehensive results:

Most of them don't seem to say what the score for each match was, but you can see who beat who.

first with his walkover comment against cruncher and now kiwi beating him at mlg after his comment about root diminishing in skill. it seems like he almost asks to get proven wrong.
You don't go at a tournament saying : I'm gonna get crushed by everyone guys. Every gamer will have confidence at least in interviews if they are serious competitors...

I might be dumb, but I can't seem to find the VOD's. Anyone able to help me out?

Root looking strong, with Drewbie and Kiwikaki dominating pool A/D.
Too bad about Catz going to the losers bracket, though

VODs will come in a few days. But there is a loop of the previous day playing when they're not live.

You don't understand the game nor RTS games in general. Even in BW, which is much more skill rewarding and balanced, the worse players win all the time.

Don't quote me, but earlier in the thread i believe some said the VODs wont appear for quite some time(possibly weeks).
At any rate, the stream at the bottom of the first post in this thread is currently re-streaming the event, so there could be a game you want to watch on/coming up soon.

Damn, everything started at 00.30 my time so I was really looking forward to watching it in the morning  Well, what can you do...

Vods comming in a few days? That doesn't seem very much like MLG, no offense. Normally it takes months. Maybe they got that sorted, would be nice.
|
Again poor performance from all liquid guys in the champ. bracket.
especially ret 0-3 whyyy
Haypro is still in the open bracket so that's decent I guess 
They better start showing some skills today and tomorrow!

Honestly, guy has a point. IdrA hasn't had a lot to show for recently, and I'm an IdrA fan so it's very disappointing. I keep thinking he'll just absolutely tear shit up somewhere but instead other Z just get further than him.
I don't think it's just an anti-fluke (no idea if that's a term), he's just not impressing as much lately. Maybe it'll change in this tournament, maybe not.

He didn't play all that well against Kiwikaki, but in general zergs haven't been doing well.

Don't blame the race, Jesus. He's not been doing well lately, not compared to the domination he had before. At the same time other Z are doing incredibly well, just look at Dimaga's latest performance.

i wasn't saying that idra isn't a good player. on the contrary i think hes brilliant and the way he plays its both entertaining and very strong.
what i do think is his confidence somewhat gets ahead of himself at times. and consequently it seems like in his mind, he's already won the game that he hasnt played yet. i think if he respected his opponents more he would be more equipped to win.
|
Yep you can say anything about Idra but there is no zerg "MC" at the moment. Its just not easy to be consistent, especially in zvp
Dimaga is good, but he basicly 1:1 with MvP + won a zvz, he is having extremely hard time vs P nowdays, and so does Nestea

Slush is doing fine ^^. I suppose Haypro is doing well but he has to make his way through that Open Bracket, which seems quite the task. I don't know some of the people who are still in the Winner's Bracket of the Open Bracket, but I'm sure some are Zerg.

Dimaga won ZvZ, went 1-1 against a terran (if you count the game he would have lost) and lost 1-3 against a protoss

Well, Idra is 2-1 too and Slush had a much easier group, at least for a Zerg.

Err, I guess IdrA is just the best player in the world with the most lackluster results. What? How can you not see that he's not having the results he used to?
Fuck, he said July's zerg won't work at all but look what happened. He said a zerg couldn't get to the finals of Assembly, but oh. Moon got further in the IEM.
IdrA's not bad by any means, obviously. But the gap between IdrA and other foreigners is more or less diminished, or that's what it looks like these days.

4 times in GSL is lackluster results? In that case there are only 2 or 3 zergs in the world with actual results. The problem is protoss players have finally figured out how to play PvZ.
