will there be replays from this tournament or maybe vods?
|
VOD's of all grand finals, that's for sure. I'll try to gather as many replays as possible but I can't promise anything I'm afraid.
|
Check the main post for our European participants! Asia and North America to follow.
|
Asia participants now added! 
|
Nice looking tourney. Starting in 30 minutes Hopefully I can catch some more Nerchio play. He's pretty awesome from what I've seen, but I've seen so little :/
|
Just a heads up today guys/gals, I won't be doing any talking on the English stream today, due to illness. I'll be whippin' my camera back & forth with the best of 'em, and will have the volume turned up a bit as well to compensate. Sorry about this, I promise it's temporary (might even be able to talk for the KR stream tomorrow, we'll see).

Unfortunate, but understandable. I appreciate that you're still going to stream even though you're ill. That's some sick dedication right there.
|
Haha, I see what you did there <3 It looks like a great player lineup, I'm just excited to be here!
|
Stream is better than no stream! I will commentate myself in my head :D
|
TaKe, save the day by switching to english, please!
|
Ugh, I can never find the brackets for these tournaments!
found them lol

Really well played by WhiteRa! Loved the warpprims action : )
|
Why is Goody playing Protoss? :o
|
GoOdy as Protoss...never thought I'd see that.
And it seems he took out one of the best terrans in Strelok already in round 1? or was that TvT 
|
Why is there no premium stream for Take? The quality hurts my eyes...
|
|
|
Without commentary is just weird -_-
|
There are two streams - one without commentary and one with Take (german).
|
whats the price money for winner?
|
1st Place: 250 USD in cash + Bigfoot Killer 2100
2nd Place: Bigfoot Killer 2100
|
actually you can watch 3 streams at the moment:
White-Ra stream (with epic music^^) is about 10sec after TakeSen Stream (with commentary)
|
Are there brackets anywhere?
|
|
|
Looks like we might get Goody vs Kas finals...
Panzergeneral hwaiting!

Go GoOdy!!!!111! >
|
Doesn't look too good for Goody but he came back from worse situations before, so I won't count him out just yet.

|
|
Gratz Kas, another online cup to the resume!
|
FOR YOUR INFORMATION: The tournament tomorrow (Saturday) will kick off one hour ahead of schedule!
12PM CET THAT IS.

Is there sound problems or is it just me?

The "English" stream is soundless, I think.

MKP vs oGsVines on take's stream.
|
MKP wins game 1 handily with a stim/medivac push off 1 base against a 3 gate expand.
|
MKP proxy 2 raxing against what looks like a 15 nex, lol

I notice he tends to do this more in small online tourneys to power through games ^^

I wish I could see the brackets and game results summarized somewhere that site has very patchy info.

Yea, it's really a crappy site, just wondering how heart can win the match Revival vs. BBi xd
EDIT: btw, mkp is in the semis now?

May be a good thing because MKP looked drunk in that game -_-
|
Awesome, thanks a lot! The lq stream was killing me :/
|

Cezanne took aout aLive already (2-0)

misstiming of STC - bunker wasn't ready for the counterpush after he opened with uncloaked banshee for harassment.
|
|
|
|
|
MarineKing's sexy sexy individual unit micro gets him a nice win against STC on Shattered to win 2-1.
|
Weird game between MKP and STC.
Uncloaked banshees on both sides, MKP starting to trade armys because he is ahead all of the time.
strategically good, but weird decissionmaking with no cloak all the time.
2-1 now for MKP.
|
MKP advanced to the final

Cloak isn't that great when your opponent already has 1/1/1 tech.

MKP is trolling MrCon again by playing this style :p
|
Great German casting again.
|
Ahh mkp trying to be too cute again, couldv easily won that with faster siege tech after he got the contain

I have no idea what MKP is thinking half the time these days xD
|
1-1 - great game of cezanne, very patiently waiting.
I request to rename cezanne in "LingKingCezanne".
|
MKP played last game for the crowd. Mass Marines + Marauders and sick micro.
|
Sorry just got here, to update myself, finals being casted right now with MKP down 0-2 to Cezanne?

if he predicted Speedlings or Hatch first - then it was a good decission in my opinion.

MKP champion.
|
Yay congrats MarineKing! By the way, who's the guy on the right at the moment in Take's stream? He looks awfully familiar.
|
Congrats MKP!

sk.inuh & mtw.naruto have been casting.
earlier it was take & reis.

yes, on the right that was sk.reis
|
|
|
I wonder if Prime has to rent the apartment adjacent to their team house just so that they have enough room to house MKP's enormous balls.
I mean, seriously, he won his first game with only bio, as he does, but then, for his second win, he went almost pure hellion with double reactored factories and, to finish up the series, he plays standard tank/marine.
Who does that?

I believe the previous Champions Trophies give $250 to the winner. Second gets $0.

"Look at the minerals! Are you nuts?" So entertaining :D
|
the german stream for this features an increasingly drunk TaKe flaming his assistant for bad music and americans for bad macro, just a heads up :D
On a more serious note, MKP has been on an online roll lately, I think he'll take this.
|
|
|
"serious business is serious business!" hahaha <3
|
The final wasn't played? (Catz - Cruncher)
|
Can we download the replays from these games?
|
The cast was so awesome..
BUT... Some of they games (had to sleep at around 0.00 cet) were really horrible skillwise? Or was that just me not "getting" it?
|
|
|
What were the results? I only saw the first couple games [no spoiler  ]. I haven't found a thread that has the results listed, and the website doesn't seem to have results either.
