Hasu is such a beast, making a deep TSL run and being in both of these finals.
|
dont underestimate Xlord 
he only lost 3:2 to hasu in semis :D

isn`t xlord also playing versus Delphi for 3rd place?
|
|
Imo Xlord played phenomenal (like really beautiful to watch, made me enjoy PvZ again) in all 3 macrogames in the semifinals and lost the series because of the stupidest baneling bust and an all-in. If Hasuobs hasn't adjusted his PvZ Xlord has a good chance to take it and I will actually root for him.
Socke vs Hasuobs on the other hand.. who cares, PvP and I like both of them..
|
Sheldon will win this, i am quiet dissapointed of Socke and his game currently
|
Xlord is one of the most underrated/unknown players in europe, he's so strong but it seems like he's only playing ladder, eps and mym matches. The series against Hasu will probably be better than the eps final itself
|
whats the price in ligapokal?
|
I can't find out if there's prize money for the Ligapokal
|
XlorD vs Hasu will be sooo awesome. Unfortunally I dislike PvP, so the finals will be boring : /

Whats the difference between Ligapokal and the Finals? o-o;
|
There is the ESL Pro Series Finals Germany, which is the highest professional tournament for Germany's best players (and Austria, Luxemburg, Switzerland...)
Good players from the ESL Amateur Series (they did not make it into EPS) get the chance to play against EPS players in the Ligapokal - But that does not mean that the two finalists come from EAS and EPS each... in this case two EPS players managed to win and no EAS player made it to the final... but maybe next time, this cup is a chance for good EAS guys who did not make it to EPS
|
|
Hope hasu wins it xlords played amazing in the semifinals but hasu didnt know how to react to this strat and morrow plays a similar one often therefore i imagine hasu knows what to do and take the double he may be the slight favourite against socke who is suppost to not have trained that much lately but pvp is pretty dependant on bos and i believe that socke has positive stats against hasu both games should be pretty tense hasu go for the double!!!!!!!!

at ifng hamburg (where we all missed you bro :D) the game between hasuobs and xlord was soooo amazing, the crowd and everthing <3. xlord was such a weak player at the release days of sc2 since he still played wc3 at the beta. now he is a beast, hopefully he will prove that with the win over hasuobs and some wins at other events. sadly this time i'm not at cologne, knee injury > me
|
should be some great games, they played recently and it went to a fifth game with 4 games beeing huge macro wars. If Ixi doesnt try to transition to ultras he might even take this.

are there schedule problems?

oh man, i need to fucking triple stream today... :D mlg+mlg+eps

Ligapokal Final is starting soon
Xlord: "I'm gonna win 3-2" HasuObs: "Rape of Death"(smiles)
Then both shaking hands and going to their PC's
Edit: Filly casting? thought he had his last cast a few weeks ago ?

Yeah ofc it's the accurate translation word after word, but idk if the english speaking readers would get what Hasu was trying to say ^^
Edit: edited it

Some high level flames by both players :D Very funny when I see this and think about the recent language discussion

I always like listening to Rotterdam's casting.

Ah ok thank you, still sad he's leaving ESL TV
|
Dat Nydus., omg! Sadly EPS games dont get enought recognition on TL.net.
|
amazing play from xlord, good start in this best of five
|
btw why is rotterdam/esl/whoever responsible not showing the games on ultra details ? this is very confusing
|
he said he forgot to turn the settings up prior to the cast.
|
insane 1st game.. soooo entertaining!! gogo xlord! im rooting for hasu tomorrow

Afaik the PC's are not that good in Studio 2 for whatever reason and they have FPS breakdowns sometimes on that PC's( Take mentioned low FPS in the Quarter or Semi Finals of the EPS) And

I hate roach/ling allins, being a protoss and all, but gotta say that Xlord did do it nicely .

Hasu's forcefields are amazing.

Xlord sometimes you have to a-move, you have to trade armies against protoss even if you are not cost efficient...
|
this is depressing ._.
noooooooooo

whoa; Xlord playing so sick ;o

hasu was done since the beginning, Xlord gave him a chance to comeback so you have your answer.
|
this is awesome, gooooooo XlorD :D!
|
For a moment I thought Hasu would win even though he took a lot of damage early on
|
i feel like protoss are having a hard time against Zerg now. well it's nothing i'm sad about, since it was quite the opposite just a while ago.
both played great, can't tell what hasu has done wrong though. although his early was so bad that i thought he lost way earlier.
|
really? tell me more....
Big mistake to expo vs Z
|
every pvz i watch is such an uphill battle all game long right now : / hasuobs playing so much better than xlord but he's just free to throw down mass expos all the time and can't be punished at all because better army and more income start to finish. : /
i feel like some kind of crazy allin that catches zerg off guard is the best shot you have at winning pvz right now . . .
gg anyway
|
xlord understands this matchup so well and hasu with his sick micro hold so long, awesome <3
€: shut the fuck up about balance
|
Hope we will see all 5 matches. But good games so far.
Do you also have hd quality although i got no premium account?

There are safe ways to expo against Zerg, hasu was not doing it right, he was punished for that.

btw losing 3 gate expo vs roach ling allin is like nothing new. thats not fucking imba hasu didnt expect it microd bad in the first fight and lost his expo
shut the fuck up about balance in these 2 games
cause roach ling or nydus are not imba
|
beatiful fungal growth from xlord and sweet play. baiting hasuobs to waste his energy and sniping those colossus.
|
at the bottom right the own3d bar says "HD" and it doesn't look like the low quality stream esl normaly have. no "pixelbrei" ;-). But its no 2mbit real HD too.
|
love xlords play. he's going to be a really really good player in the future.

the stream which is linked here on TL is defenatly LQ. i have a premium acc and just compared the 2 streams
|
The sound is a few seconds ahead of the video to me so the results of the baneling drop were announced when the overlords just started moving in on my screen.
|
premium stream sound is perfect, thats strange
|
He showed us the german stream and commentated the game from the observer perspective, so he was ahead.
|
The same for me, lets hope it gets fixed for the next game
|
yeah he forgot to switch to his screen^^
|
i love the loop of that starcraft song esl uses everytime between the matches.
|
oh gosh, those mind games
|
This is just emberassing for ESL... How can you not get any soundproofed booths for such important events
|
I am baffled, how can xlord be ahead after a failed 6pool?

Come on XlorD make it 3:2 now!!
|
|
and xlord didnt even see it.. rofl for non Germans: hdf means "halt die fresse" in German and means roughly translated "shut up"
|
more like "shut the fuck up" hdf is a bit meaner then just "shut up"  But I guess in this context its all in good fun
|
yea, but it wasnt meant mean. it was just a joke^^ didnt want to make it sound like an insult
|
congratulations to xlord! impressive play!

Wow Xlord looks pretty strong, despite of having some macro problems :D

gratz ixi, wish he could play more!

Pity this is going on during the same weekend as MLG. MLG is going to suck all the attention. Stream looked good. I'm a big fan of RotterdaM's casting. So laid back, legend.
I threw up a market for this over at ggBet.net. Enjoy.

bump. the real thing is starting soon. CS is about to be over and then there will be some talk etc, so 30 mins at most imo.
too bad it's PvP but i hope it will be good games somehow!
|
At least its Socke and Hasu playing, so it might not get too boring  No idea whos gonna win, just hoping for good action <3
|
1st game about to start... really hard to say who will win this. prefect "warm up" for MLG
|
Yes, lets hope for great games. I do not even know who to root for.
|
Too bad Germany has no Day 9 or Tastosis. Especially Templar can be really annoying, they should have brought at least someone like Khaldor :/ Anyway, im glad that Xlord won and now im cheering for Hasu
|
i just watch the german stream and listen to the english one rotti is quite good.. who needs german casters (except Khaldor)
|
wow this PvP is awesome, Hasu going for Carriers!
|
EPIC! =O Carriers wtf :D
okay this many Archons probably rape Carrier+Chargelot^^
|
archons trolling carrier...!
|
Fantastic game 1. WP by Socke.
|
wow, mass archons vs carriers
|
|
Thats what Hasu gets for listening to Rotterdam about carriers lol. :D
|
i hope for some phoenix play.
|
Does anybody know if Archon's splash hits multiple Interceptors?

Sounds like mass Archon will just rape Carrier+Zealot if that's true ^^
|
|
also archons destroy zealots - with +3 they 4 shot them(almost 3) and splash
|
results will propably be the same as mass zerglings and mutas against archons, except you still have to kill the carriers when the interceptors are dead
|
lol @ the ambulance comment from rotti ;-)

Rotti the best PvP commentator!!

Imo Hasu is the best German "caster". Very analytical, insightful, outspoken and sometimes a little funny/ironic about game balance.

I agree 100%, I like Hasu's cast very much, but Socke's cast are very insightful too. Yet you forgot the epicness of Darkforce casting a good game.

hahaha, Rotterdam: "I am not gonna spoil my strategy, I have ambitions.". He is really doing a very good job!
|
|
GG. Socke won 3:1. Congratulation to him
|
Gz Socke. He has such a fantastic feel for PvP.

To all the EPS fans, the EPS Season 18's liquipedia page has been updated with results but could use some more information regarding the Playdowns. However it's the Season17 which is a total mess and if you can help it would be great
