|
Amazing! Is this offline or players do actually meet to compete?
|
|
|
Number of wins for Empire.Happy? 
|
|
|
Woohoo! Love the Rotterdam-Demuslim casting combo! Gonna be fun. Races kinda skewed? Hope my protoss brothers of auir will take it; Socke fighting!
* I see my mistake, no racewars cuz of me plz..
|
Kas has alot of wins according to TLPD, and did not Naniwa win three times? 33, 25 and 68 according to TLPD? Happy and Naama also seems to have two wins each.Perhaps these players declined?

So many Terrans

Also remember that There were many Go4SC2 even before any balance patches. Not to take away from still having to win, but that's just going to make it so there are more terrans in general.
|
Sounds very nice! I'll watch it (as most sunday cups).
Rotti + Demuslim =D
|
|
|
|
|
reminding you all that this is starting now. i think a terran will win, hopefully happy

Dimaga isn't playing  DieStar is replacing him
edit: Stelok isn't there too. Naama plays for him.
|
Dimaga and Strelok are offline on b.net. I was looking forward to see Dimaga play T.T

This really bugs me with all the ESL-Pages... one can go easily to the news page but i never finds the link to the tournament page itself.
Therefor, thanks KingXXX!!!
|
after watching some livestream from several players and then tuning in to ESL TV it`s kinda funny, when you compare the Streamquality.
|
Yeah, the ESL page is maybe the worst site on the whole internet. Even commentators, admins and so on says it! They will never change it... :/
Goody vs Socke 3rd map now. 2nd map was quite good!
|
Go Go Darkforce! Beat Kas!
|
Cloud 2-0 MaNa, beautiful play

Stephano stepping up so much lately.
2-0 vs Sjow now.
|
I wish this streaming service worked for us Australians, so laggy I get 1 new frame every minute or so.
|
that has actually nothing to with australia, everyone has this problems
|
|
|
Socke vs happy is insane on taldarim altar.
wowowow.
|
Socke has an hangover from yesterday (Darkforce said it) and you can see it from his unit control! lol
|
|
|
makes me happy watchign Stephano playing so solid
|
where is Happy/Nerchio? they've been dominating the scene as of late.
|
Happy hasn't dominated anything. And he just lost to Socke
|
ROFL Naama doesn't know what hit him haha
|
Stephano wins with AWESOME baneling mines, gogo FrenchZerg

No, but you can load the replays.
edit: ah sry just saw there are no replays on this match so far, nvm
|
Kas - Stephano next, this should be a very good game.
|
Demuslim calling Maka (TownHall) terrible in W3 haha
|
Demuslim is a good caster. Not a fan of the co-caster. He talks too fast and mumbles words, so its hard to understand.

Rotterdam, he was the best Orc from the Netherlands after Grubby, they used to practice a lot together.
|
|
|
A lot of good games today! Love the stream and coverage 
Dunno why, but I've always thought that Stephano is Moman T_T
|
Kas is just playing unreal...
|
|
|
Kas has insane micro ;<.
Stephano isn't a retard who micros like shit, but still he just rapes it all.
Stephano does have insane baneling bombs though, really love them and also the cast by Rotti & Demu.
|
That game was a perfect example for macro > micro.
Impressive play in each area by both of them.
|
Insane game between Stephano and Kas. Kas has insane control but Stephano kept the pressure on all game.
|
Stephano is so good, awesome play
|
"Finland is so dark people start drinking, get depressed and kill themselves. But guys Finland is a lovely country" LOL.
|
Well that was....unexpected (Stephano vs Kas)
|
STEPHANO ! fuck yeah taken down the Monster Terran Kas
hoping for him vs ClouD finals ^^ win win situation
|

Kas still rather patchy in his TvZ
Stephano definitely beasting though, what a boss.

Steph didn't drone for his 3rd expand, Kas push was so expected that stephano max out an army very easely with 4 hatch
|
stop the balance whining. kas just played bad, that all.

And he never used infestors even lawl
on a more serious note, Stephano played better than Kas in the games he won.

It has been Stephano's best matchup since like foreeeeever, and Kas's worst as well.
Really boss mode play from Stephano.
|
Kas was also caught offguard, which is how most TvZ pushes fail.

That's not true at all. Wtf, terrans complain about zerg now? ... watch some GSL please.
Kas played very sloppy, especially on the 3rd map. He sieged late and had most of the marines in his medivacs.
Anyway, I hope Socke wins the other semifinal. I'd like to see Stephano in a ZvP.

The german stream is always awesome when Darkforce is on there, especially when Socke is playing drunk.

epic flamewars going on :D

Cloud should calm down, who gives a @#$!

ClouD got mad at Stephano spamming "Pink Power Rangers" in chat :D

I'm having so much fun with the stream, and i have a shitton of work for tomorrow morning. Damn you!

It was ridiculous. Perhaps Cloud it's time to grow up :-(

Gotta agree, if I were in the finals of a tournament and my opponent kept typing that I'd be mad at admins for not telling him to shut up.

Yes, they're very natural and don't show any fake enthusiasm which is what I hate the most at a caster.
Edit: I'm not saying they're better than Tastosis though! They're just as great.

Actually I don't really care. Stephano is young, and it's a part of mindgame. But when you are a mature player, blackmail somebody during 10 minutes for something really insignifiant is sad. Viewers are sad.
|
I think the competitive win percentage of tvz on taldarem alter is near 20%.
|
Stephano's play is seriously very impressive. I mean, I've seen him doing this like every week in pretty much every cup, but he's just insaaaaanely good. Imo taking Ling/Bling/Muta to the next level.
|
Demu sure is fanatical about that 0.5 supply.
|
ClouD needs more tanks vs Stephano's play style.

agreed... tanks and bf helions.. and choke-points ._.

Demu need to stop his whine about TvZ. In Korea they have no problem with this match up. MVP destroyed any zerg since GSL 4. On the top of that, he wanna nerf the only overall cost efficient unit of zerg aka baneling, that's just stupid.
What make Banelings balance is their expensive gaz cost, not their supply.

he barely won 2-1 in his last games vs Min even thought hes superior player in every aspect.

He's not saying they need nerfs, he just doesn't know what to do against them x).
It's not like IdrA when he whined about protoss, he actually asked for nerfs, DeMu actually is just rather clueless what to do.
|
Beautiful by Stephano, ClouD pushing out, moving past the bad placed burrowed banelings, then he flies in his mutas as if it was a mistake, and runs away, ClouD stims and runs over the banes.
Stephano is seriously crazy good.
|
baneling mines. No one can do it as good as Stephano. Actaully very few zergs use them :S
|
Moons gonna feel so bad if he sees that
|
That baneling mine trap was genius. Do feel like stephano is outplaying cloud in all aspects, I wouldn't say anything about balance from this match.
I pity cloud because i find TvZ the hardest matchup. Feels like linb/bling/muta is easy to be cost effective, and if you fuck up once its GG, if the zerg fucks up they can recover in no time, but its probably just my terribad macro.

Yes sometimes its a glimpse of brilliance but he still lacks top notch mechanics and gamesense.

2-1 stephano
not sure what stephano is doing, absolutely terrible attacks this game, over and over and over again
|
Seeing mutas melt like that is like sex to a terran player.
Serious nerdgasms when it happens in my games.
GG by cloud there!

I think cloud has figured out Stephano now, so unless he mess up he should take this series. Stephano ain't doing much other than ling/bane/muta all game. yes he's very good at it but c'mon now tech switching would've won him that last game...
|
Oh boy, this last attack by Stephano directly in the choke, terrible^^
If only Stephano knew how to build Infestors and Broodlords, his lategame would be so much better
And I don't understand why Stephano took his own gold which is soo close to Cloud.

As long as he only plays with 3 units I would not call him crazy good.
He needs to learn to use infestors and t3 units.

Hahaha demuslim is the most biased caster, but I love it

I thing he knew he was better that cloud, he outmacrod him at every turn in those games so he could afford to stick to ling/bling/muta. He only lost the second to last game because of bad positioning in the major battles.
Maybe I'm missing something, but i cant see any way either of the T3 units would have benefited him in those games, ultras would be redundant due to the banes and broodlords wouldn't have done anything that the mass lings couldn't.
Infestors I do agree with though, a few good FGs at the start of a few of those battles and stephanos armies would've been at least twice as effective.
All in all I think the best player won. GG.

I can't load the stream, anyone else have this problem?
|
God Stephano is just so strong in ZvT !
So impressive and entertaining to watch. Really nice play.

He's honest, and people love him for it. <3

True, I didn't like him at the beginning, but he is truly a good caster and player. He always remind me the terran Era in Europe with Tarson, Strelok, Naama, Lucifron, Kas, Morrow and Brat_OK between march and october.

I can't stop being amazed by Stephano's play.
