________________________________________________________________________________
Update:
First off I would like to apologize for the scheduling mishap which led to the games not actually being featured during the correct time. I had entered the time wrong when adding the event to the calendar (how I entered it wrong is still in question), and this led to the match being scheduled on the calendar during the same time as the TSL finals (rather than 5pm PST like planned). Unfortunately for myself, the TL admins were understandably celebrating the completion of TSL and I was not able to get a hold of anyone to edit the event.
For future events that we will run (and trust me Tt eSPORTS will be running a lot), I will be double-triple-quadruple checking my scheduling entries.
With that being said, thanks to everyone who logged on to watch the games. We gave away over $1,000 worth of Tt eSPORTS and Thermaltake gear, and we had quite a few happy prize winners. The casting provided by CatsPajamas and Janook was amazing and we'd like to thank them both for their contribution.

The match will take place SUNDAY MAY 15th at 8pm EST (5pm PST)

Holy crap, two insane players. Niceee
|
Time has been changed from 9pm EST to 8pm EST in order to avoid conflicting with the TSL finals.
|
SeleCT fighting!
SeleCT's probably thirsty for blood considering he's lost 2 series to Kiwikaki already ><
|
|
|
|
|
goooooooooooooooooo select
|
Wow, 500$ showmatch? Nice, nice. Will watch it for sure! SeleCT gogo! -.-
|
This should be epic!!!
KiWiKaKi fighting!!!
|
This will be awesome. IMO the two best NA players of their respective races and my personal favorites of each race in NA. Going to be a hell of a showmatch [:
|
Now THIS will be a showmatch!!!!!!
Arguably the best NA protoss vs the best NA terran!!!!!!
2 of my favorite players, really can't wait for this.
|
Go SeleCT! Own him son ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
|
Great match, looking forward ^^
Will this be casted live or from replays?

|
Rawr nevermind. Good move changing time. SeleCT fighting!
|
|
|
Love them both, really excited to watch this! Rooting for Kiwi of course, but gonna be happy for SeleCT if he ends up winning too.
|

|
SelecT 4-0.make it happen son ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please delay this for a few hours so it doesn't interfere with TSL, its a really good showmatch and most people probably want to watch both <333
|
|
|
Kiwikaki fighting <3
Edit: This thread says it will take place at 8PM eastern today, but the TL event tracker says it starts at 2PM? I really hope the thread is correct :x
|
Wow this is a sick showmatch, casted by an awesome caster =D
|
This sounds awesome, count me in and awesome prize pool for a showmatch!
|
easy monies for Kiwi!

Select lost to KiWi in the IPL.
|
Holy Crap! A $500 Showmatch? Thats wicked high for a show match. A serious rivalry between the two always at a semi-finals of a tournament. Gogogo SeleCT!
|
seems sort of silly to be casting this as the TSL finals are on? push it back an hour or 2 and you would easily have double the audience imo.
|
They updated the OP, calender probably didn't have enough time to be updated. It is now a lot later.

Incorrectly listed on the TL agenda. It hasen't been played yet.
Really looking forward to this one.
|
gogo kiwi, best NA protoss against best NA terran...
|
wow insane, Im not sure who to pick on this one
|
Is it just me or is the website still locked?

The TL calendar said it already happened. Wat?
|
Shouldn't the stream for this be featured?
|
|
|
It would be cool if this could get featured somehow - only ~275 viewers right now!
Edit: looks like the match got rescheduled, so the event has the wrong time on it!
|
Damn, feel like this should be getting more attention only 277 views.
|
trying =/ nobody from TL is around it seems
|
Needs feature soooooo bad!

bump for "On Air"
Agreed. This is actually tragic. Top terran in north america vs. top protoss in north america. Needs to be watched.
|
maybe a bit late to notice that there might be a conflict with TSL finals
I would watch this showmatch but I go to bed now 
|
Yeah I'm not sure why this has so little attention..
Regardless, KIWIKAKI FIGHTING!!!

select fighting!~~~~~~
dear protoss on ladder: go nexus first vs me you know what's coming.
|
|
|
Kiwi was floating 1k minerals at some point. I think he could've defended if he didn't wait for his warp gate to finish before investing in mass units.
|
what do I @ttesports on twitter to win something?
nice showmatch btw too bad it's not listed under events.. wonder why?
|
CatsPajamas is posting it in the chat.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to repeat it here.
|
3-0 for Select!
Revenge... daaaaaaaaaamn...
|
That's actually a really nice strat on Tal'darim. You get rid of the immobility disadvantage of the Siege Tank by forcing the Protoss to engage you when you siege up outside his natural.
|
Kiwi getting outplayed. Can't say I'm too surprised given that Naniwa and SeleCT have been undergoing intensive training in PvT recently, for both of their benefits.
|
damn i missed it, are replays going to be posted?

Jesus, Kiwikaki got smashed.
|
|

Select 4-0 lol
Everything Kiwi tried just didn't work... and Select was totally on top of his game.
gg wp
|
|
|
Nasty play by SeleCT sup son
Don't think the results showed the skill of kiwi though. There both great players, SeleCT just met kiwi on a good day
|
That last second repair was painful to watch x.x. GGs though, Select deserved to win (though I still like Kiwi more :D)
|
Total annihilation by Select. Well played~
BTW, I've never seen an online showmatch give away $1000 worth of free stuff like that. Big kudos to thermaltake/ttesports for being so awesome.

4-0 Select if I recall, I was watching in the background.

Thanks for the showmatch! Much appreciated :D
|
Go select. Pity he didn't do this at mlg, but this is good revenge 
|
|
|
OP edited to include apology, vod, results, winners etc. thanks everyone

SeleCt is so damn good, love him!
|
Thanks for the headset TT eSports/Eric. Good games overall!
