Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)
Shoutouts from both players in the [All Chat]. Kawaii gives a shoutout to Mizuki Nana, Moonan one to his gf.
Mizuki <3
5:30 Moonan going Fact heavy with Hellions, while Kawaii is going bio with Conc Shells being researched.
7:15 Moonan drops Kawaii's base. Hellison roast some marines. Marines and Hellions start attackin the rax. Hellions move to the miner line. SCVs pulled and die to SCV drills.
Marines spawns and clean up the drop. Medivac picks up 2 hp hellion and runs.
10:15 Moonan goes for another drop with marines behind Kawaii's mineral line. SCVs pulled again. Kawaii's army was moving our and is forced to return. Drop almost snipes the techlab on the fact. Moonan loading up a second drop.
12:00 Moonan drops again and is forced back again. Still trying to stop mining. Moonan now moves out with 4 tanks and 20 marines.
13:20 Moonan sieges up under Kawaii's natural ledge. Kawaii loses his army trying to clean it up but 2 tanks remain for Moonan. Moonnan now drops the natural as well but it gets repulsed. Tanks still shelling the natural CC.
15:00 More units traded on each side. Kawaii clears Moonan's siege but his tanks on the highground get dropped and several die. Moonnan now getting a second Engi Bay. Kawaii has +1 Bio weapons. Moonnan loads another drop.
17:35 Moonan drops the main mineral line again and the SCVs are forced to fight. He sieges and drops the natural ledge again. Kawaii forced to lift his CC at his nat.
Kawaii has lost 41 SCVs so far and counting. Moonan control the tempo.
He attacks with a massive marine ball up the ramp into Kawaii's base and Kawaii ggs.
qxc's path to the finals (if he goes that far): TrueRedemption (W 2:0) sidr (W 2:0) coLRyze (W 2:0) ThorZaIN (L 1:2) Sadistx (W 2:0) Tri_Master (W 2:0) ROOT_CatZ (W 2:0) Pokebunny (W 2:1) EGAxslav (W 2:1) So far he's 17-4. His path from this point on: SeleCT- EGiNcontroL ThorZaIN (Plus will have to play extended series) EG-Machine oGsMC Someone else (I'm assuming either July or SjoW) IdrA or SlayerSMMA IdrA or SlayerSMMA or Naniwa or IMLosira IdrA or SlayerSMMA or Naniwa or IMLosira IdrA or SlayerSMMA or Naniwa or IMLosira (twice or extended series since he's fomr the losers bracket) That's going to be like 20 bo3's.
I facepalmed so hard. Same level as BW? Someone hasn't ever played BW.
Halo is one of the slower shooters around. And do not even get me started on the multitasking differences between the two.
He could kinda have an argument with CS 1.6 or something... The calibre of players at the top was insane but... Halo? Sorry no dice.
Even then i'd say BW is harder. Infact the more i think about it, way harder.
I agree with you entirely, yes.
1.6 had some insane players. I remember when fatal1ty joined a pro counter strike team and was removed because, well he just could not stop shooting his own team mates.
i was about to laugh when you brought up fatal1ty in cs until i read the rest (tehn again zet had a nasty habbit of killing his team in css )
So what? Any CS playered get's demolished in Unreal Tournament or Quake...
of course they do, but fatal1ty seemed to push himself into other games pretending to be the next best player in that scene
he pretty much went into every new fucking fps that got released for several years back then
CS is a game that is so much different from most FPS, you cannot start playing and instantly become good like you can in a lot of them, it takes so much practice because the recoil is so hard
I'm sure the guys that win the Halo tournament probably just started playing last week....
Omfg looking at the brackets now... I really want a lot of the people at the top of the losers bracket to make it far, but they all have to knock each others out. Sheth, Kiwi, Slush and Fenix. God damnit....
Its really not halo's pretty much at the level of bw with the level of mechanics at the top.
level of bw mechanics? someone call the doctor!
LOLOLOL troll or insane?

did i say they wouldnt?
IMO Halo is less about shooting and more about teamwork/communication. You're evaluating Halo the way a newbie might evaluate SC2 just on micro mechanics. CS is harder to play mechanics wise but since the game is easier pro players need better teamwork and communication to distinguish themselves from the competition.

1.6 is still to me the greatest esport of all time. so many great tournaments and teams. starcraft is really awesome, but 5v5 cs in its prime with teams like sk, 3d, col, noa was simply insane.
I agree, especially in the days of 3D and CS was getting pretty big in US..then I feel like Source killed it :/
there is no doubt Halo 2 had a massively high skill ceiling but you cant compare it to BW/CS/Quake if thats what the argument is about ... I dont think any game even comes close to BW
