Ya, he's the only one who does that double evo mass infestor ling. Its pretty sick if you know where to put the neurals and fungals.
He basically plays zerg like its protoss

Wow, epic Destiny vs Bomber
+ Show Spoiler +Im pretty damn impressed with Destiny. Im a fan of his, but I admit that I didnt think he even stood a chance against Bomber. People might blame lag and people might blame the timezones or maybe Bomber was drunk, whatever. Destinys play was fuckin phenomenal this series. His upgraded ling/infestor play is damn awesome and Im gonna start trying it out.
GJ DESTINY

+ Show Spoiler +Destiny was saying he had no idea that expansion was coming up at the beginning of the first game, didn't see the drops rolling out past his overlord and had no idea why bomber wasn't dropping. Also, in the second game he says he could have won had he not droned behind that first ling push and the third game was a prefect example of how his strategy is supposed to work.

Destiny vs Bomber was amazing!
+ Show Spoiler +I really thought that was well played by destiny. Not to often do you see zergs down that far in food and get back into it. Fast upgrades and some neat tech switches.

I remember watching him off-race and seeing how much more natural his playstyle was with protoss. I am glad that he's found a way to make it work with zerg. That was STRONG.

IdrA would have left after the 4th time all his infestors died.

1. Eligibility. The Tournament is open all individuals in the following countries that are 16 years of age or older as of June 2, 2011, and who properly register for the Tournament (each a "Player"): Canada (excluding residents residing in the Province of Quebec), China (excluding Hong Kong), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, Norway, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and the United States. Each Player may be required to show proof of age and residence. ALL PLAYERS MUST OWN A BLIZZARD NORTH AMERICAN ACCOUNT. IF YOU DO NOT SATISFY THESE REQUIREMENTS, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER AND/OR PARTICIPATE IN THE TOURNAMENT. Participation in the Tournament is also subject to compliance with the requirements specified below and in the Game Play Rules. Employees of Sponsors and their immediate families (parent, child, sibling and the spouses of each) are not eligible to register for the Tournament. The Tournament is void where prohibited by applicable law.
- That means there are a lot of countries who can't play @_@"" Indeed... Korea, Sweden, Ukraine are what immediately comes into my mind. Also not sure what to think to yet see another invitational instead of an open tournament.
Korea and sweden are added to the list now, oh i forgot to check ukraine not sure about that ><
Hopefully some korean players know about this! would be nice to see some of our favourite koreans compete with day9 and husky casting XD

So, is there a way to search for a specific player in the Amateur league?
I tried to scroll through the 1200+ group pages but gave up 1% way.

Game 1 of Destiny vs Bomber is a must watch. Probably the most back and forth game until the end.

You can't 'search' no. If you are looking to find your group that information is listed on your profile which you can find by logging in, and clicking "My account". That page has your information which includes your group number.

Yeah, it's a little annoying but if you click on the title inside the video it'll take you to YouTube and you can full-screen it from there.
But hooray for the standings being up! :D

guess i fail it, but wtf does 'S' stand for on the results page?
|
S stands for 'Schedule' I'm pretty sure..... I would assume that number has something to do with the strength of schedule variable that cevo listed as part of their 'overall formula' for seeding. I still haven't quite figured out mathematically how they're doing their skill index thing... cuz I find people that have 2 ffl's above people who have 1 win and 1 loss and all sorts of odd shenanigans. There was even a group with multiple people who were 2-0 in matches below people who were 1-1.

Pretty much this. IdrA should watch these games and facepalm. Multiple times in the game, IdrA would have gg'ed, and I don't even think most of us would have blamed him at a few points. But infestors are pretty darned beastly, and if you hae 30, you need a TON of EMPs....and if you don't have the EMPs, you're just going to get owned. So awesome to see this new zerg style that lets amazing micro dominate balled a-move units, and get back into games that a scant 3 months ago would have been "unwinnable".

I have to say this is one of the best organized tourneys ive seen :D
i hope theres alot of GG's and i hope i see some 1 I don't know win the amateur one cause that will be sad
