Would love to have WhiteRa! But MaNa is unavailable on this day, I have already contacted him.

Dimaga and MorroW in, now WhiteRa and Kas please! :D

I hope players like Nerchio, ToD, SaSe, XlorD or Grubby get a chance to play.
These players are very high ranked on ladder but they don't get invited on many tournaments. Also some of them have a lot of fans from the W3 days.
It's getting a bit boring to see the same players getting invited.

i second this

ToD, Adelscott and the other French players have a Paris LAN on this date and cannot attend. MaNa and HasuObs have personal commitments or otherwise that mean they can't make the time.
Grubby, SaSe and SjoW have recieved invites but they are pending until their schedule is figured out for the future. I will try and keep the racial balance as even as possible as it worked out well in both previous KOTH events and improved the spectacle (in my opinion) when there were less mirror matches, so depending on which of those players pull out there are a few other options for replacements of that race. Many have been mentioned here, such as Happy, Nericho, Kas, DarkForce, XlorD, etc.
Remember that this is the first of what is a weekly series, and that a European version will run every month so even if the first month has only big-name players that generate interest everyone who deserves a place should get a run before the major offline events
EDIT: Update!  White-Ra confirmed

We tried to invite as many as possible to the Invitational (since this event is 13 players), but most were at CPHG or TG, but don't worry, we're well aware of these players.

Mondragon, please?

Because of the IGN qualifier announced for 7th May that would clash with the FXO KOTH EU, we have rescheduled to Friday 6th May 12:00 (midday) CEST.
|
I am sooooo looking forward to this event
|
|
|
I'm hoping to learn quite a bit from Goody's playstyle. We shall see.
|
Can anyone update this on the calendar to reflect the new time please?
Done, thanks Roffles and certainly not Antoine.
|
Was it updated?
|
this is gonna be sweeeeeeet
dont get to see many euro players in action
|
I'm so excited for this. Gl to all players, but Kas is definitely going to win the longest streak AND last one standing :D
|
So excited! Go Dimaga and Ret!
|
I'm keen to see strelok kick some butt.
|
Are there VODs from the previous events? If so, could someone link me to them =]?
Really looking forward to this, sad we'll get only one game out of Grubby though 
|
Fyzar, the longest streak and last man standing will be invited back to the next event if possible ;D
|
lets hope Bnet EU is back in time.

Regarding Battle.net EU being down:
"There is a temporary outage of the Battle.net service. Please try again later."
If this problem persists up until 10:20 GMT (+00:00) we will postpone the event to next weekend with a double-header including both this KOTH and the second Korean KOTH event all on the one weekend.
|
OK to confirm yes this is postponed until further notice -.-
|
omg i wanted to see that now! -_-
|
Blame battle.net

Hope it can still start today. Was looking forward watching this KotH with so many gosu players. Just unlucky with the battle.net server problems....Also it would have been much worse if the server problems occured DURING the tourny instead of before xd

Yeah of course thankful it didn't happen in the middle of the games, but the reason we can't do it later today is some of the players have another event at 18:00.

Ahh the BDL and go4sc. I will be waiting for you guys next week then  to be honest it is so awesome with this line up of players xD. And is FXOpen Josh the boss? Well anyways i hope the boss will cast some games for the tournys, would be awesome after hearing him on sheths stream such a baller.

Was looking forward to this =(

NEW DATE AND TIME: Sunday, May 15 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
In the process of relocalising to confirm players when I can, hopefully there's no patch to prevent that. Will be making replacements of players if necessary as I go along as some might not guarantee they can make the new time.

@Bobster surely the chance to watch it live is better o.O
|
Let's just hope 1.3.3 doesn't try to harass us.
|
Perfect for me, I'll be able to stream the korean KOTH and the european event as well :D:D:D Those game's are going to be pretty pretty cool, especially with the new patch out now!
|
wise idea to put goody at the end, his games would nearly 1 hour per game so it would be a 2 day event if he starts this
|
Am hoping that bnet doesnt patch again!!!
|
Why not Terminus SE instead of RE?
|
cannot wait for this, theere are so many good players, hoping white-ra cleans up shop once he starts!!! are vods going to be released?

VODs are slow to be released because our caster didn't have the time to spare, but I think he may have finished his previous employment and have more time now so they might be a possibility this time - I'll try and get him to confirm

Great lineup, will probably watch

how do you award ladder points?

YES! VOD's will be up on both our youtube and JTV

Sadly, aTnSocke has had to pull out of the event. He will be replaced by mouzMaNa.

Sick sick lineup! Alot of my favorite players in 1 place <3

Usually i'd cheer for GoOdy but he didn't show anything recently and thus i'd rather see SaSe go on rampage.

There was a issue with My streaming pc earlier, (i have since completely rebuilt the PC) which is why the streams say the wrong thing.
Khaldor will be doing german, FXOpen main stram with myself and wolf will be doing english

SaSe is soooooo solid protoss but he playing with Panzer GENERAL!!!!!

As Unstable mentioned, a computer crash minutes before the event made it look like no English stream would be possible. However, Unstable performed a miracle and made it work so the English stream is back
|
We're live with game 1.
MYMSaSe <Xel'Naga Caverns> ESCGoOdy
|
HOLY! SASE WONDERFUL FFs!
Amazing how he survived the 2 bunker rush... the FFs were perfect.
|
Oooh another one. Crazy how many tournaments are on these days! Sick sick player list too.
|
SaSe is pretty sickkkkkkkkkk!! I am so glad he win road to korea,SaSe for Code S GO GO GO!
|
Goody doesn't play mech, and loses horribly.
2 rax with tech-lab, seems like a pretty bad build D:

great coverage package, great player lineup.
khaldor rox.

He was pretty close to be in a good position. SaSe's first forcefield eliminated 3 marauders, his 2nd prevented marauders to go into bunkers (which would've been terrible for SaSe)
|
Game 2 about to go live.
MYMSaSe <Metalopolis> mouzMorroW
|
Hope to see a better zvp out of morrow than at Copenhagen games, haven't seen him play it since, but that was depressing viewing.
|
We shall see if morrow has adapted his game in line with the ongoing ZvP revolutionzzz.
|
Hope SaSe will do good so he can go to Korea with some more selfconfidence!
|
|
|
He's doing it almost like ToD :D expansion delay en masse.
|
Textures on Khaldors stream got messed up, and protoss have silver units instead of usuall gold, this looks very nice :D
|
Apologising now for the lack of a Results tab in the OP, as I have to go to bed soon. I am sure frequency will give you results on FXOpen eSports' twitter or in this thread but the OP won't be updated until tomorrow.

Sase takes his 3rd before Morrow. Morrow needs to do something about that :0

everything died within seconds for sase lol

Wow that was well played by both, especially Morrow... great game. 108 lings in production there =D
|
124 zerglings in production!
|
Haha now that's the swarm
|
3-3 cracklings<3 gotta love that unit composition!
|
Great play from Morrow. Even as a Toss I enjoyed that.
I'm so glad he abandoned that shitty roach/hydra/corruptor play.
|
nice to see morrow winning a ZvP again
|
Brilliant play from Morrow.
|
That was beautiful play by Morrow! Amazing upgrades and really nice neural parasites.
Good job Morrow!

awesome play from morrow

Morrow, Me need your forgiveness - I have dissed you in the past for sticking to roach hydra and getting destroyed by P-deathball. But you played like such a boss in those games, just so amazing.

Is English stream working for someone in Scandinavia?
I can only watch utter crap 240/360p resolutions.
Khaldor sexy German accent FTW!
|
Did anyone just see the ad on the german stream?
Life wont be as before now...
|
We saw them during Korean KOTH. I'm to afraid to go outside now.
|
heh this could end up being pretty abusive
Morrow scouted CC first before he DCed in the first game, correct?
|
|
|
poor kas
|
"i should gg"
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I love Morrow punishing those greedy Terrans ^_^
|
FXOpen stream not working for me?

Smart MorroW is smart.
|
He looked pretty mad
|
|
|
Wow, 6 pooling is so weak in SC2, even against a 15CC, it had a fairly good chance of losing.
|
Haha, feel bad for Kas there, but when you go CC first, that can easily happen, so you better be sure the zerg isn't going a 6 pool on you...
Hopefully Morrow can win a couple more games, I love watching his zerg.

Yeah you should really only CC/Nexus first after scouting the Z. Even a 10 pool will punish you hard.

QXC has indeed been practicing hard - a very well executed marine bunker rush, Morrow also a little rusty on responding... esp the spine crawler placement. Why be so audacious man

Oh MorroW... That's karma for you... :D

Not putting a drone on the SCV, and the terrible spine placement killed him =(

Well shame Morrow didn't defend that bunker a little better. I really felt like after killing that marine, he should have went for the worker on the bunker, but still played really well by QXC, gj.
Wish Grubby wasn't last now. xd

It always make the epic games. The games I enjoyed playing the most or watching the most is when the person way behind (sometime hopeless) and wins the game. It takes to play catch up, get small advantages and soemtimes takes one blunder from other player too.
Those games may be less tahn one percent of all the games, but they are the reason I get excited for playing and watching.
IMHO, No fun in one person being playing perfect. I prefer TLO's chaotic style more <3 <3

hm qxc playing go4sc at the same time?

Been watching his stream a lot lately and he does it every single game vs zerg. Always follows it with blue flame hellions as well. He does it very well though.

Lowely's macro is rather poor. Losing ground on supply for no reason, and like 80/150, rather overproducing ovies.
|
qxc going for the incredibly obnoxious lategame turtle terran :/
eta: damn that was a lot of units
|
Does that mean that grubby has to win only one game to get 100 $ ?
|
Everytime I see a zerg go t3 against terran I think "God pls go broodlord, screw the ultras!"

Yes, there has to be some incentive for the last players to play since their position makes it hard/impossible to get the win streak prize money
|
One of the few games where I've ever seen more than 3 Ultras in production simultaneously and didn't think horribly of it.
|
Seemed like qxc had way too feew units in that siege/bunker position considering the amount of bases he had and his supply.
|
Northern Ireland2557 Posts
don't think this style by qxc works vs zerg that goes hive
|
QXC just didn't have any units lol
|
i think in the lategame you need blue flame hellions, marauder and ghosts.
hellions against those lings, marauder against ultras and ghosts against broodlords / infestors.
|
Go go Ret! Haven't seen him play in awhile, hopefully this is a good game!
|
Who's had the longest win streak so far?

I'm having an issue with justin.tv I keep getting this: Something went wrong; Error #2048.

Oh yes, didn't consider that, was the seeding done randomly? I wonder what position the players view as the most attractive one. I guess around 4th to last is pretty good, so you have a shot at both prizes.

lol, very nice blink timing from him. Did he get +2 for it or was it just +1? Nice micro regardless.
Very close game but Mana just had too much after saving so many stalkers with his micro, what would Gretorp say? Great retention on those stalkers =p

4-gate micro incoming. Hell yeah.

|
80 pop for mana and 150 for ret... then mana used FF and blink stalker to own this big army, gg mana
|
that blink :D
really really nice
|
OMG!!! Frekkin' amazing by mana!
|
80 drones O.o
No wonder he died in the end, he didn't have larva for lings
|
Wow, So awesome micro by Mana.
|
nice game, very good macro by Ret and awesome blink by Mana
|
Wow... Well played by Mana and good micro.
I was surprised the spine crawlers were so delayed from Ret, he had so many resources.
GG by Mana though.
Lets go White-RA!
|
Now Mana is in duckload of trouble.
|
Wow, such an even field!
After Game 7 still just one player with 2 wins.
|
Ret had the perfect saturation of 3 bases after 10 min :D just a lil' more time and he could've just roflstomped him with endless roaches.

Yeah but he did it blindly and was virtually defenceless for those 10 minutes. Mana could've killed him in so many different ways.

Game 8:
DuckloadRa <Shakuras Plateau> mouzMaNa

I wish ret would target the 3-4 stalkers with 5-10 hp That could have saved the game imo.
|
LOL@Mana
eta: Boss-ra eats mana's probes with a 4gate warp prism and mana taps out.
|
Sexy play by White-Ra, bad micro from MaNa ;o.

I'm sorry for asking again, but because it was at the bottom of the page I don't think people saw it.
When I open any stream on justin.tv, I get the error: Something went wrong: Error #2048.
Anyone else having this issue, and anyone know a way to fix it?

Close air positions on metal against Cloud, special tactics might be on again!

Yeah I'm watching Khaldor, but it was just in general, because I've had it for like 3 days now so I can't watch stuff like White-Ra & Grubby =(. If anyone knows a fix I'd love to hear! =D.

So many good players. Loving this tournament.

No Ret knew Mana was going forge FE and you can get an early third against it . If Ret had an extra hatchery he would have stoped that build cold .

3gate void incoming. Cloud FEing sooooo.

He dropped the third hatch completely blind.
Very nice counter from White-ra, only dropping the stargate after seeing Cloud was FEing.
|
Lol the attack came 5 seconds before stim. That sucked for Cloud.
Also he needed the marines in the bunkers, not the marauders.
|
Great games today and now the ultimate battle of the smiles: Dimaga - White-Ra!
nvm: tlo - ra should be nice as well.

Del said he had to go to sleep and was sorry. Frequency is updating results within the thread and I think on their twitter.

Interesting build from TLO but the lack of conc shell really kills it.
|
That attack did nothing, TLO needs a miracle to come back from that.
|
|
|
2 more wins for grandpa toss to be the king ^_^
|
Khaldor's German casting is just amazing!
|
white ra killed him this game!
|
play 3 games, own 3 noobs, earn 200$
White Ra ftw^^
|
Germans have everything dubbed on TV etc, no wonder they cant listen to english streams. Really sad actually
|
So before people will start to ask, Dimaga is playing ZOTAC right now and MoMaN takes his spot.
|
yeah, that really sucks, because of that most people with German as first language speak quite a bad English. I really wish i grew up with English TV. But i only watch English movies and shows now for a couple of years, so it's ok^^
|

I would say most Germans prefer English streams, although I dont understand why.
In any case Khaldor is a much better caster in German.
btw learning english in school is perfectly sufficient to speak decent english.
It enabled me to write scientific publications in English.
People that claim otherwise were just bad at school.

Game 10 (Dimaga would rather play ZOTAC, so he is removed from our event, and MoMaN is taking his spot.)
White-Ra <Scrap Station> CN!MoMaN

del is asleep ? why is OP not updated =(?

ridiculous how much better white-ra is
don't know why this map is still beeing played

If WhiteRa has a proxy pylon those DTs would've wrecckkkked Moman.

Yeah, really nice hold, Moman was so close on a couple of occasions but either failed to push at the right time or kept banging his roach's head against the forcefields for too long instead of backing off.
good game.

Moman just isn't on the same level as the better players in the EU scene.
WhiteRa dominating today
|
|
|
holy shit, whitera amazing!! Moman also through that game a bit away though, however happy white-ra won!!
Now gogogogogogog GRUBBY!!!!!
|
wow Moman threw that game away, took the fight with burrow, burrow movement and +1 attack 20 secs away >.<
|
Haha, what a crazy game ^^
The final game of today will see the winner walking away with $100. White-Ra already has $200 secured for having the biggest win streak.
White-Ra <Scrap Station> Grubby
|
I guess Grubby wants a 4gate war because the matchup is so volatile right now.
|
moman showing you can do a roach ling push, fail horribly and still almost win.
awesome play by white ra.
|
Grubbys Pvp is really good, his old wc3 boss-micro skills are very important in this MU :D
BUT WhiteRa has special tactics, so this will be a fun game :D
|
Even though Moman made a few mistakes in that game, White-Ra still handled it incredibly well. What an amazing player.
|
Grubby's simcity owns him. Oooouch.
|
Grubby made a prison for his own probes haha.
|
OMG that was a entertaining war prism play :o
|
Funny game :D
I'm glad that even on Scrap the robo player won.
|
Special Tactisc vs Wc3 micro...
Looks like tactics win.
|
Showmaster WhiteRa showing us some great games
|
|
|
Really like wolf's and unstable's casting!
And lol @ the sim city, the game would have been much closer if grubby's zealots could actually engage more than 1 zealot of white ra at a time.
|
So am I right in thinking WhiteRa won the last 5 games and took home both the "last man standing" prize and longest streak prize?

Damn WhiteRa is such a badass.

I have no words..... white-ra is the most amazing player in the world. Enough said.
|
Are there going to be VODs?
|
We're all finished!
Longest streak: White-Ra (5 wins) $200
King of the Hill: : P White-Ra $100
Congratulations to White-Ra and thanks to the casters, players and fans for supporting the FXOpen E-Sports events!
Stay tuned for our future events.

Congrats to Duckload.White-Ra who takes home AU$300 (~225 Euro); and thanks to everyone for watching, playing and casting, there was a great number of viewers!
Results are updated in the OP now.
Some people might find it odd that qxc recieves more 'points' than WhiteRa here. Note though that as the ladder system is still new, I might be making the reward for breaking a streak lower or have a stepped system where you get more bonus points the longer your opponent's streak to make it more accurately represent the feat. Ladder positionings are subject to change because of this. (If you are wondering what ladder points mean, they count towards invites towards offline FXOpen events scheduled for later in the year but so far unannounced. The ladder points aren't the ONLY thing that goes towards your invite as there are things like total wins, etc. but of course it should reflect your performance in the events).
VODs I believe will be up for the tournament, and if not then replays will be released.

Special tactics never die!!! great casting by khaldor!
|
special tactics, what a monster
|
Lol White-Ra owning it up!
|
Special Tactics BABY! Hell yeah White-Ra.
|
woot go white-ra! and qxc got a lucky break all because morrow had a 2 game streak.
yea i guess the points for breaking the streak was a little bit too much. Maybe make the points correspond to the streak is being broken. So breaking a 5 win streak is much more valuable than breaking a 2 win streak.
Cool event though. Will definitely tune in for next time.

The reward for streak breaking really doesn't make sense. The more games the opponent wins the harder it is for him to keep winning. It's mentally and physically very demanding to keep playing like that versus top level players.
Rewarding a single victory after 5 victories with the same amount of ladder points just doesn't make sense if you're going to use the ladder system at all because it is inherently flawed. Getting more than 2-3 victories is an incredibly difficult task, one that is probably not going to happen very much. This system actually hurts the player who wins more. Winning a streak should simply be the same as winning two games or something, making it equivalent to the superhuman feet of 5 consecutive victories over top level players seems mindless to me.
Have to give you and the rest of FXO + the casters (especially unstable) huge props, very entertaining games the casting was great, the stream quality was great, no lame commercials (at least for me). Thanks for all the hard work!
|
lol how ridiculous that qxc gets more points for 1 win than WhiteRA for 5 LOL
the system of this is pretty fail
|
why did qxc get 30 points and whitera only 25? dont know even after dels post.
|
Seriously guys... White-Ra wins FIVE games in a row, he's the last man standing, but qxc gets more points because he won ONE (1) game and ended a TWO (2) game streak.
How.The. Hell.Is.This.Fair.
|
lol wtf
this point system is wrong.
ra's ownage :<
|
I dont agree with the point system, koth should award winning streaks not breaking a streak.

Not some people, all people.
You wouldn't find a single person on the entire planet who thinks it's a good idea to give more points to the guy who won 1 game (breaking a streak of 2) than the one who won 5, had the biggest streak and ended as the king of the hill.

Good games from White-Ra and completely broken points system.
1st of all winning a lot games in a row versus different opponent is not easy task at all, and must be rewarded. For example: winning one game awards 5 points, winning second game in the row awards 6 points, third 7 and so on.
2nd, streak breaker score must be based on broken streak length. For example: if player break streak of 3, then he awarded 5 points for the win + 3 points for streak break (streak length = points received).
Sorry for broken English.

big props to FXO, loved the event and all these top players in it.
yea got to agree with everyone else here, point system needs to be reworked.
pretty sure after looking at the feedback deL will make changes soon, so dont worry guys.

White-Ra so beastly.
Yeah, point system still needs some work. If you want to keep the breaking streak award (there's an argument to be had for simply leaving it out), you have to increase each game value to 10 and make breaking a streak award half the points than attaining that streak nets a player.
Like this:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mujsB.png)
In todays case, that'd mean White-ra getting 50 points, Morrow 20, qxc 20, and the other players who won one game 10 points.
That said, thanks for putting on all these events, del and FXO! :D High profile players and good games, we appreciate it. Can't wait for the Opens!
|
unfortunately I missed this but I'm very happy this thing is happening in Europe now
white-ra such a beast.
and yeah agree with nirvana the rating system is obviously terrible but its gonna get fixed soon I'm sure
|
Amasing plays by White-ra. He is truly the 8th wonder of the world:D
And yea you need to work on you point system that is not right hehe, but then again who would have thought White-ra would brake you system hehe
|
Dominating play, White-ra is a hero!

But the problem is that this then has to be balanced with the points you earn from the  FXOpen Invitational Series events where ladder points are also assigned. A KOTH streak of Bo1 wins against similar opponents shouldn't be worth a lot more ladder points than similar or more difficult feats in the FXOIS.
BTW remember there are two ladders for this event, wins AND points so WhiteRa gets a lot of points and will top the win ladder too.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kK9oL.png)
Will use this for now, so that breaking a streak is like getting +1 win than you really did. It's not ideal (like 2 x 2 in a row is as good as 5 in a row) but it will do for now, and getting two in a row twice means you were probably last man standing or the streak winner from the previous month for a re-invite anyway. Like I said it doesn't have to be perfect it's not the be all and end all, it's just a guide used in conjunction with the total wins to get an idea of overall performance at this stage. It introduces this ladder idea that we will be implementing more thoroughly later.
