Not true, Naugrim qualified but didn't show.

Thanks for the thread TB. 
For those who doesn't know: There was a group stage yesterday: Results
That's why Socke and Hasu had a bye in the first round of the final bracket.
|
HasuObs vs select is about to go live .)
|
Select is so strong i love his aggressiveness!
|
well played by select there. kept his head well to defend that initial gateway push. got ghosts out nice and early too
|
Select is soooo good! Even though I was rooting for Hasu it's always a pleasure to see Select playing! 
Now: Socke vs Sjow

|
Ouch those 1-1 upgraded charge zealots tore through SjoW's army then.
|
Devasting blow! I cried about the marines in the storms
|
|
nice tournament, more people should watch it =)

its not on the TL calendar :/ ... people really should know how to get there by now. It's just 2 minutes of work.
|
Bling just took out HasuOb 2-0
|
Ugh, I can't tell if Bling stands for Bling or Baneling, lol.
|
|
Totalbiscuit works much better with an analyst beside him
|
great games so far, TB and Apollo are great as well
|
Hasu knocked out 0-2 by Bling? Surprising
|
oh no , dont be weak today germans.
|
Well I have a ticket for the NEC today, but it doesn't let me enter before 2pm. Well at least I should catch the final
|
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BLING!
|
good game between sjow and socke, socke will win thou
|
Socke: Always so fun to watch! Great game!
|

|

Apollo lol, such a cute Korean girl <3
Watching Sjow die so slowly and painfully to Socke was painful for me 
Nani vs SeleCT in the upper bracket finals right now
lol, Nani has been so close to scouting SeleCT's ninja fast expansion so many times, even cliff walked Colossi up there but they never quite see it haha.
|
|
|
geez that game went as good as it could have for select and he still didn't make it
|
Haha what the hell does SeleCT have to do to win?!
|
this is super sad, select not dropping naniwa makes him lose. even 1 base ahead u cant fight toss straight up, thats how op that shit is :3

Pray to what ever god you believe in.
|
Did Naniwa even dop one game ? I just see 2:0 wins for him on the Homepage.
|
|
Ok so I have question. What if Select would make lots of thors with strike cannons? Would that work out if he was on more bases or he would fall to mass stalkers before making huge army?
|
he lost to Socke and Select in the groupstage
|
am i the only one who cannot watch the stream today? every 10 seconds i get 1 second of video
|
jesus. naniwa is so freakin good.
|
Naniwa's 4 gate is scary as hell.
|

Try refreshing it a lot, it helped me yesterday when stream started to act crazy.
|
|
Just got up TB but you and Apollo are great together as usual :D Good production overall again on the event.
Really wish i'd attended now,i'm like 14 miles away

Game 1 just made me sad; 25mins+ of SeleCT trying to make bio work while a base ahead, but losing every single engagement despite fantastic positioning and EMPs. Very little harass made it kind of boring to watch.

Well if i was a terran i would see it just as you do, but from a neutral point of view it was pretty good. Although i myself was also just thinking "omg wtf, why is naniwa not being punished for not scouting?". He simply didn't deserve to win that match imo.
|
Oh wow Khaldor is on stream. I hope he'll cast one game at least.
|
Strange, all im getting is a black screen after the commercials.
|
haha Khaldor about balance :D
|
They really need to make some podcast together, this is very entertaining :D
|
|
socke is destroying select even more than naniwa did
|
Great fucking tournament, why isnt it featured?
|
|
Socke's collosi control during that fight saved SeleCT... for now.
|
jesus socke is so passive. he has 200/200 and doesn't attack ... edit: finally :D
|
|
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yTpxA.png)
le socké :D

stream should be listed tbh! nice event, exciting games
|
indeed why isnt it featured at all? its a good tourney
|
Socke u win the tournament!

he is a save player.

Come on Select. please dont give me another PVP final.
|
is it only for me that sound is only coming out from the right speaker?
|
|
Socke could have made way more damage with those DTs.
|
WHy is this not featured stream, awesome games
|
wow i thought socke would die to the push just now. forcefields did great again
|

|
the sound is imbalanced, right ear is overpowered :<.
|
wow, select just got rolled. gg socke!
|
|
total annihilation in taht last fight. really hope Socke can win vs Naniwa even though he's behind!
|
|
Getting tired of all the PvP finals.
|
not gonna be the last pvp final in the next months ~

SeleCT needs to try something that isn't MMM vs toss. Well played by Socke, off to do some housework though if we've got another PvP finals =p
Good tournament, and some sick games. Thanks for the great casting this weekend biscuit, and to Apollo for today too ^^
|
Hmm guys, any idea about the Mortal Kombat European Championship taking place on The Gadget Show Live? Any stream, bracket, anything?

Good tournament, and some sick games. Thanks for the great casting this weekend biscuit, and to Apollo for today too ^^ Well what should he try? I think GoOdy is a pretty good Mech player, yet his TvP seemed pretty weak from what i've seen. Let's see how he'll fight later vs Naniwa, but i doubt he'll have much of a chance...
Terrans in general seem to have hard times vs Protoss.
|
what's the prizepool distribution? cant find it anywhere
|
What did they say when the final should start?

15min break

Select messed up control in the final battle, moved all his vikings and didnt shot once the battle begun.

Terrans in general seem to have hard times vs Protoss. Terrans win less against protoss than zergs do. They need to find new ways of playing vs protoss, standard mmm with drops is too expected and protoss defend the drops too well now. Will be fun to see how the game styles for z and t change over the time of a few months. yes imo they have to come up with new strategies like protoss had to when everything was nerfed over the course of nearly all patches. since the ht nerf new strategies have emerged (dts are finally used frequently) and this has imo actually helped protoss.
edit: damn u owned there is the lag again
|
Stream is on.
|
Naniwa vs Socke double bo3. Nice
|
Wow! Naniwa's two hero collosi survive with incredibly low health. Excellent micro.
|
how much gets the second?
|
Good Live Coverage (the stream) from this tourney! Well Done admins
Though the stream atleast for me seems to be lagging alot!
|
Socke got outplayed quite severely.
|
|
Naniwa destroying everything atm! watch him destroy TSL later.
|
naniwa going to the GSL now THAT would be awesome
|
Is there anywhere a prize distribution? Congratulations to Naniwa and Socke great tournament by both!

im pretty sure NaNiwa got 3k out of those 5k pounds atleast.

Kind of sick how nani got almost as much for this win as the one at MLG when you compare the publicity and viewers of the two events.

If you don't even end up on the TL Calendar, people wont notice the event even if it has big price money

Sooo Naniwa destroyed Socke ? Didnt saw it, maybe someone gonna summarize what happned.
|
Got asked on IRC and couldnt find it anywhere, what was the pay distribution for the tourney?
|
On April 17 2011 23:17 Saiwa wrote: Sooo Naniwa destroyed Socke ? Didnt saw it, maybe someone gonna summarize what happned.
Game 1. Cross positions metal. Both go for a 3 gate robo, but Naniwa skips observer and gets a faster immortal and colossus. Attacks with a 2 colossus push. Socke's thermal lances and second colossus finish during the battle, but Naniwa is able to micro and kill both colossus while keeping both of his alive. Socke gg's
Game 2. Crevasse both in top positions. 4 gate vs 4 gate, but Socke gets supply blocked and also moves out. Naniwa sandwiches Socke's force thanks to a proxy pylon. Socke gg's
