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) |

I asked this same thing a few pages back, I was wondering what the logic was behind only combining two pools of players instead of mixing together all 4 pools.

Both players go 12-rax, Kawaii's rax about 1 sec faster. Gas start for both players on 14. 3:15Both player's OCs complete. Both players start a fact. 5:00BOs finally diverge. Kawaii goes Starport, Moonan makes an in-base CC. Blue Flame for Moonan, Medivacs for Kawaii. 6:45Kawaii has units outside Moonan's base. Makes his own in-base CC. Moonnan finishes his Starpot. Kawaii moves to claim the centre watchtower. He starts Banshees. 8:15Only 1 Banshee for Kawaii. Moonnan has a Viking though and it kills the Banshee. Both players have claimed their nats. Both cranking tanks now. Moonan goes Siege, Kawaii goes Stim+Marauders. Kawaii loads up a hellion drop. 10:15Moonan Blue Flame drops Kawaii's mineral line, loses 15 workers. Kawaii's hellion drop doesn't do as much damage. 11:30Moonnan moves to kill the rocks at his gold. Kawaii moves out with Marauder-Tank with some marines. 12:40Moonan floats his 3rd CC to the mini-island thing in the corner instead of his gold. Kawaii is roaming the middle. Loads everything up. It passes by a Viking but unloads before the medivac dies. Kawaii is now sieged in Moonan's main. OC is forced to lift. EgiBay researching dies. Engagement. Marauders > Tanks and Kawaii comes out on top. 15:00Kawaii's reinforcements catch a maynard and kill all the SCVs. He reloads his drop and leaves. Kawaii controls the middle. Moonnan opens a route to defend his 3rd. 16:40Tankline standoff in the middle of the map. Both players getting +1 Bio weapons at the same time. Moonan drops Kawaii's main with marines but it gets cleaned up. Kawaii getting an Armoury, Moonan getting Combat Shields.
wasn't a maynard, it was moonan being a fucking idiot and sending his natural scvs all the way down to the bottom to run away from a drop???

Vibe is quite good. Liquid Zergs + Tyler (and maybe TLO) are going to have to think about how they're going to snipe Vibe/Major given they're all in the same bracket in the Championship LB.
Nice to see Haypro show a good performance, too.

So TLO and Vibe look identical...
Haha, wow :O It's like Vibe is the manifestation of TLO's zerg "dark side"

lol...maybe any VIDEO game ever...

I uploaded most of pool play games (not the ones that haven't been uploaded yet) in a nicely sorted .zip:
Edit: Added a few replays, new pack:

Not mainstream anyway. Plenty of other games with a higher skill gradient though. Just not used for tournament play.

TLO loses game 1 to vibe!

WHAT!? when did Vibe get so dank? His control was insane... damn I'm a fan

the loser brackets are simply terrible =/.
we have great players like thorzain, july, and mc on the bottom half while the top half has some pretty bad players in comparison.
ret/slush/sheth/tyler etc are pretty good but nowhere near as good as the above. really? then don't fucking watch it, especially when they aren't broadcasting any other match. Not like they chose the CLB over the winner's bracket, and besides all of these players have just as much of a shot at the title as do the big names... remember a dude named naniwa? how do you think he won last mlg, up through the same brackets being cast right now, although based on your reasoning he probably sucks too... No, Naniwa was never in the loser brackets. He never lost a game before the finals.
To the originator of this quote train...they're all in losers? Unless you think the players you listed are better than Idra/Losira/Nani/MMA?

I can't wait until Tastosis gets back to Korea to cast GSL and Tasteless accidentally says "We'll be right back here at the MLG"
|
I'm interested to know what the TvZ record is so far this tournament. Seems like Z has been dominating pretty hard.

I wonder how TLO Carpal Tunnel is feeling right now :/

Where is the Nick and Sean Plott combination? I think everyone wants to see that. Oooh haha, that will be tragic if that doesn't happen at least once... come on MLG, make it happen  They won't be together casting an event too often, I imagine. And I hate day9 but I'd love to see Tasteless with his brother haha. OoOoooOoOoO...... is it possible to hate day9? I would probably alter my sexuality for him..
I used to love him back in the beta days ^^ But I feel that he theorycrafts too much and with too much confidence, and theory craft/balance statements should not be taken seriously unless you can back it up with games played, and as far as I know he doesn't show his 1v1 matches against pros? But I don't want to derail too much.

Vibe has been really improving in his results lately.

My friend keeps saying Gunz requires insane APM, is this true?

Yeah, a complete mix would be much better (and prevent a lot of extended series carrying over).
