I would believe so; the player and prize pool justify it - a lot of us are cruising through exam periods at the moment, so things have slowed a bit. It will be there, but with the large volume of tournaments - things take time I will mention that this may be a priority, if someone doesn't attend to it before, i will update it on Wednesday

Always makes me smile when they say "for sjow"
|
its funny ive noticed tt1 misplacing his nexus very frequently on his livestream, almost every game. he just slaps it down too quick without checking if he can put it any closer
|
is the game being played at x2 speed? feels unusually faster
|
Oh I missed the 2v2 again
|
Nice to get a game three in the ace match, go Sjow!
|
Wow, Sjow is something like the terran Cool - sometimes genius, sometimes really messed up. Those medvacks wandering around were so awkward.

Sjow lost too much going for that big drop and harass after winning the first encounter decisively imo, it never feels like you can afford to split yourself up to that extent vs a late game Protoss army. Even if you do a lot of damage to buildings and workers, you're still liable to be rolled by the counterpush from the actual army.

SjoW vs TT1 on Crevasse 1.1 for the ACE MATCH!
+ Show Spoiler [Ace Match Game 3] +SjoW spawning bottom left, TT1 spawning top left! 1 rax barracks for SjoW, TT1 drops a proxy but warpgate is about 4 years away :p
TT1 is going for a 4gate! TT1 sneaks a probe in and drops a proxy in his base! TT1 warps in 4 zealots and eats through SjoWs scv line. More scvs going down, and a supply depot goes down and SjoW is DEEP in the red.
SjoW is getting completely cleaned out by TT1s Four Gate; SjoW pulls all his scvs, trying to clean it up; TT1 gets a good position.
SjoW GGs - Fnatic wins! FNATIC WINS!

Disappointing end to the series, good job TT1 sneaking in the probe for the reactionary 4gate though I guess.
Seems Sjow couldn't solo fnatic 
Oh well, next time Dignitas

Not many people thought TT1 stood a chance. Solid win for him.

SjoW vs NightEnD - TvP on Terminus RE SjoW spawning at the 9 oclock and Nightend at the 6 oclock
+ Show Spoiler [Battle Report Game 1] +SjoW snipes the scouting probe with his first marine and goes a gasless FE from 1 barracks.
Nightend drops a Nexus off 1 gate which is scouted by SjoW's scv.
1 gate FE vs 1 rax FE
Nightend drops a robo from 1 gas, and then gets his 2nd gas. He is CBing an observer, while SjoW is teching towards a starport. Tech lab on the factory now but no barracks add-ons. Collossus tech halfway done for Nightend with SjoW opting for Siege Tech and banshees; SjoW taking a fast third, Nightend's observer is sitting on top of it.
Nightend is going for Collossus + gateway units while SjoW is using marine, tank and banshee!
SjoW sieges up outside of Nightend's natural, shelling his third and harassing with banshees. Nightend moves forward with his Collossus, and roasts some marines. SjoW is still harassing the third, Nightend attempts to go forward again, but is pushed back again. SjoW takes down the third with his siege tanks. Nightend is pumping out 2 immortals, trying to find a break to this contain.
SjoW takes a few banshees, takes down the cannon in the main and starts eating so many probes;
84 scvs vs 45 probes; SjoW in a commanding lead.
A fourth immortal joins the army, and Nightend moves in. The marines target fire the immortals. Nightend does a lot of damage to the contain but still cannot break it.
Nightend moves in again, but the immortals get target fired. The collossus are doing significant damage but the siege tanks are holding the line. No more collossus are being produced, just double immortals. SjoW has taken his 4th base, should probably invest in some upgrades.
Nightend GGs
SjoW vs NightEnD on Shakuras Plateau SjoW spawning at the bottom left position, Nightend at the top right
+ Show Spoiler [Battle Report Game 2] +Nightend gets a probe into SjoW's base but does not scout the second barracks! He drops the second barracks onto the low ground - looks like a fast rush. Nightend goes for the 1 Gate FE again, but SjoW is trying some early pressure with marines.
The marines catch the stalker at the Xel Naga Tower and it is put on red hp! 6/7 marines coming to his base and Nightend is supply blocked!
Nightend goes for robotics instead of extra gateways; SjoW's marines focus down the natural, which is allowed to complete? SjoW builds 2 bunkers at Nightend's natural.
SjoW salvages the bunkers, and backs out as an immortal comes out. Strangely; SjoW backs out - with a lead; stim is on the way and Nightend is clearing out the Xel Naga towers with a couple stalkers, an immortal and a sentry. Nightend has a warp prism; he elevates his army into SjoWs main;
SjoW moves back to defend, the zealots melt - scvs are pulled but SjoW has a large unit advantage. More units being warped in but SjoW has an army advantage.
Nightend did clean out all the scvs in SjoW's main but IdrA says it wasn't enough :p Nightend attempts another zealot drop but again it is cleaned up.
Nightend GGs
SjoW vs NightEnD on Crevasse 1.1
+ Show Spoiler [Battle Report Game 3] +Psyche it never happened 
SjoW and SeleCT (on zerg) Vs KawaiiRice and TT1 on Discord IV
+ Show Spoiler [2v2 Battle Report] +Dignitas spawning top left with Fnatic spawning bottom right; IdrA completely forgetting the 2v2 against EG haha; Select played Terran and went siege tanks :p Select opening standard 14 gas/pool; KR on 1 rax, and 1 gas - TT1 just building his cyber core. There is so little going on especially for a 2v2! Select fast expands (for a 2v2) while he is getting ling speed, both terrans finishing up their factories; SjoW drops a SECOND factory when KR is going blue flame; SjoW also going blue flame, but dropped the second factory before starting blue flame. Select traps a TT1 stalker and eats it  TT1 going mass stalker, which the lings will eat. KR going blue flame, but so is SjoW off double factory. Looking good for dignitas. SjoW teching to siege tech; as he switches over to siege tanks. TT1 is researching blink, KR forgets about 3 hellions before engaging. The whole army gets surrounded by the lings, Dignitas surround the entire army and wipes out that army! Fnatic GG  Onto the ACE MATCH!

Barracks is dropped onto the low ground and marines are starting to be pumped; TT1 chronoing out probes instead of units - SjoW may have an opportunity here. TT1 sending out a stalker onto the map; wish they would open the production tab  TT1 was posturing to expand but sees the marines and backs out to build 2 more gateways; SjoW backs out and floats his CC to his natural and drops 2 bunkers. TT1 doing the 6 sentry 1 stalker push :p Robo up for TT1 and goes straight for Robo bay for colossus tech! First colossus is on the way and extended thermal lance; SjoW upgrades infantry attack, as his starport is just finishing up. Sjow sees the army of TT1, and immediately drops a second starport to build up his viking count. TT1 takes his third, SjoW loads up a drop while his third is also finishing. The drop does some probe damage and takes down a pylon but he loads up and escapes, losing 2 marines. 4 medivac dropping heading to TT1s third! SjoW snipes the nexus and loads up and runs away; he loses 2 medivacs but 2 do escape; SjoW now drops the main! TT1 is out of position! SjoW forces all the probes off. TT1 realises he is far behind and postures a final attack. Here we go! Engagement at SjoW's natural ramp - TT1 engages SjoW's third but gets caught out with his colossus at the back! TT1 GGs!

TT1 doing his team good this series (much like KawaiiRice last series). Kind of disappointed by NightEnd's Fnatic debut though.
Sen winning all his matches so far, but can't seem to stay awake for the ace match
