Looking forward to the restream tomorrow =D Should be great matches!
|
Destiny,Diestar,dde, Tarson got this:D
|
i'm pumped for destiny and DDE should be a good match!
|
Drewbie, Fury, Destiny, DDE is my prediction :b
|
I really think people are underestimating the power of Darkforce :X That man be scary.
|
I'm waiting for Millenium dominance,and Destiny will propably beat Axslav,but the real good series will be dde vs darkforce. I really want dde to win,but I think darkforce is just too good.
|
Tournament is actually on the front page of IGN uk as news. that is so damn cool.

I bet Destiny is going to use Infestors against Axslav. Were these games played just as long ago as the first round or was that just winners round 1?
|
we get to hear tastosis today!!! woot

That was a fast game. Usually TvTs are longer
|
go Destiny! hopefully these games weren't played as long ago as Destiny's first round games so he'll show better zvp
|
WTH are you doing Drewbie. Taking a position that is absolutely useless.
|
LOL, prediction poll shows more than 50% for drewbie. Diestar is sooo much better, just not as famous.

edit:
I have no idea what Diestar is going for in this game. It seemed like Drewbie was uncomfortable and struggling with tank wars. why not do that?

And Diestars decides to make me look like a fool and go for all-ins and pdds :D

diestar, what did you do this game? =(

Wooooo! Tastosis! I think Tarson will win this series. I thought they said a different player T_T I need to learn to read/listen
|
Wow,, it is amazing to hear tasteless again on a vod cast. It's just like when he did Broodwar. he's a lot more talkative, and even his voice sounds more smooth. Awesome... too bad he limits himself to the play-by-play role in GSL.

I knew the name of that dinosaur as well! Like Tasteless, I was a dino-nerd at a young age :D

It's only fitting that Tastosis casted this series. + Show Spoiler +The shortest TvT in history
|
Hahaha, so lame!!! Two games in like what, 8 minutes? T
|
Oh, too bad that the games Tastosis casted were so short
Tarson looked really good, though.
|
lol this interview is kinda awkward

Yeah sadly I used to like him in the beta.

Are Painuser and HD not looking at the production tab ever?
Two stargates FINISHED before they were even mentioned/noticed. I mean yeah, I'm hyper vigilant about everything, but there were like 6 protoss structures, and two of them were stargates...
And Destiny went for the outside expansion despite a minute long diatribe about how he was taking the safe, in base expansion when the minimap, production tab, and video itself made it quite clear what was going on...
But oh well. Two minor mistakes from otherwise really good casters.
LOOK AT THE PRODUCTION TAB.

Axslav got top 4 last season, and there was a qualifier for the rest of the slots. There is no "recruiting."

It does when you have 14 infestors!
|
Yikes Axslav, getting caught with his pants down in every battle.
|
I dont quite enjoy today's casting... no offense tho... probably getting spoiled by day9 and artosis/tasteless...
|
what a great game. Destiny is really getting good.
|
really great play by destiny
|
114 APM with 4 bases... Just lol
|
that was a terribly one sided game. i really dislike how HD makes it seem like one of the best games ever. >_>
|
holy shit how did axslav thorw that away, great game from destiny after about 10 min ^^
|
Invest in all three tech routes, 5 bases and relatively little supply spent on his army :<
Simply going Blink Stalkers with Templars would have sealed the deal.
|
Looks like Axslav doesn't know how to play against Infestor-Ling. Really thrown off and threw away his lead.
|
I'd like to see him mind control a probe and build a nexus, etc. Fight fire with fire.
|
This motormouth with painuser is incredibly annoying
Destiny is going to get infestors nerfed!
|
good game but axslav cant handle this style
|
Yo axslav, there's this unit called the high templar, I hear they pretty good vs lings and infestors
|
Axlav had templar tech. Where were all his templar for feedback?
I can see losing that first army, but making the same mistake over and over is a little hard to see.
|
terrible decision making by axslav, picked worst times for attacking
|

|
axlav doesn't know destiny abuses infestors I guess.. otherwise he could have gotten warpagate units + upgrades instead of collosi+immortal. What I don't understand is why he kept going that route even after seeing 20 infestors.

Destiny said yesterday on Day9's daily that Blink Stalkers are easy to hold with Fungal Growth.
You have just been the perfect example of bad theorycraft and bad condescending talk. No offense, I might be the one wrong here.
I enjoyed the game just played.
|
This game was painful. Really, even the voidray harass was disgusting to see. Axslav had the phoenixes and the voidrays on the same key, and every time he attacked the hatchery, you had to see the phoenixes advancing through the spores and getting damaged. It didn't got any better from there.
|
whattttt are you doing axslav???? oh nvm, he's lookign good.

lol destiny.. should have sent drones to take those cannons while waiting for the lings not waiting for the lings xD
|
|
wow, they're really excited... over a cannon rush?
|
That cannon rush was really really bad... but so was the defense.
That was weird.
|
Wow, a cannon rush. High level play here.
|
|
.............Thank you for using an out dated map without a depot like every other fucking tournament has.
|
really? just take out the pylon and u win
|
He should've just targeted the pylon? Much greater surface area and half the hp
|
Up next, on this edition of "WHO WANTS IT LESS"?
|
The excitement seems so... forced and cheesy.
|
"That was so impressive"
REALLY? That was retarded, what part of that was impressive?
|
Too bad he didn't just focus the pylon, had a better concave. :/
At least the commentators are excited, that game was a bit sloppy on both players' parts.

Ugh, stream chat is absolute poison. Someone kick me next time I even think about going back into that chat.

Yes, I'm aware that Infestors are very effective against Stalkers. I'm just stating the fact that he'd win with it, being able to do good trades with his economic advantage, i.e Blinking in taking out a few Infestors at a time and/or feedback/storm.
My opinion is not bad/wrong at all and I as well enjoyed the game.

Sure artosis is incredibly biased about players but at least he'll say if a game is bad or not...:/

uh cannons eat lings/drones. They would be dead before the pylon gets close to dead (then all he has to do while you are killing it is morph a second pylon).
No Destiny should have brought drones earlier for those 2 cannons, not wait for lings when the pylons are done. Just terrible defense, that should not have worked at all.
|
Wow, what a mess. Terrible cannon rush, and Destiny making the worst possible decision at every point. :/
|
Is there a constructive reason why Destiny didn't kill pylon?
|
Why didn't Destiny go for the Pylon? He didn't have much surface area any any of the cannons and there was only one pylon...

He almost killed both cannons in the time they were forming. The pylon had more exposed surface area and less health. he could have killed it

Big gamble by Axslav given that it's a 50k tournament.
|
Can we not have bullshit from the casters? Why does everything have to be AMAZING and EPIC when it clearly was not. Just say it. Just say, "well, that wasn't anything special" or something, but don't scream about how AMAZING THAT WAS!!
PLEASE.

not really, he could have canceled the cannons and only lost 100 minerals for the pylon if he wasn't confident in it.

correct, game was restarted b/c losira's keyboard caused a DC or something(was the the event so there was not much info given) Inc would've won IMO

Actually are these being casted now, or have the games been casted just after being played. Perhaps Destiny was still on Complexity when HD casted that one.
|
Yeah that doesn't make much sense to me but whatever I think if he gets a critical amount of colossi infestors can't neural them all if he can get a good amount and use fungels right.
Oh he is getting a templar archive now! And yes these were recorded earlier not at this exact second.

114 apm for destiny in that one. Wonder if he was flustered from the cannon rush
edit: either that or noobert's post above is right

Lol, can't believe Axslav let him have one. Go back to streaming/achievement seeking, newbie.

Not very good army control from both players. Axslav needs to work on his forcefield usage/speed.

The after game stats have been fucked up for about half the games. Don't read into them too heavily.

Can't wait to see Nerchio versus Kiwikaki tomorrow.

I'm not sure Destiny's Infestor play is robust enough to be a go-to strat for every game.

Why do you bring your hate here? Clearly you are one of the guys spamming constant hate in the stream chat the entire time because you have nothing better to do with your worthless energy than to spend it hating other people, but at least leave it for the chat. There is really no need to bring it here.

Really nice Nydus usage by DarKFoRcE. dde needed to try something else from the medivac drops, allowing DarKFoRcE to do whatever he wants is not how a Terran should play.

*sigh* once again destiny fails to bring his A game in a tournament that actually matters. And what's up with only 8 pages in the LR thread? I thought all the 'yay no Koreans crowd' would be watching this in droves.

Come back from a good day to see Destiny got owned, fuck yeah great day now.
So glad he can't actually get anywhere against competent players.
|
Destiny makes a quick exit out of this tournament. As Torch would say, "all show and no go".
Yeah, these opening rounds are really boring honestly. Despite an open tournament which you'd think we'd see the best propagate out of that. I guess it's nice to see relatively fresh faces every now and then. It probably doesn't help that the round 1 winners is followed by round 1 losers. So we have to put up with at least 2 weeks of likely boring matches.
Yeah looking at the open qualifiers it didn't seem like a lot of the best foreigners even tried out. $50,000 prize pool and no interest?

There were a lot of countries that weren't able to participate, like, a monstrous amount. I think there was only about 15 countries able to participate. NA, SA and Europe were the focus of IPL 2. The only region of the world we held off on for this season was SEA. Region-wise, there was no SEA, Korea or China.
I mistook IPL2 for another tournament there, sorry.

So glad he can't actually get anywhere against competent players. Which is why he 2-0ed ST.Bomber and ST.Ace? He didn't 2-0 bomber, and also lag. Unless you think this is a true reflection of Nestea's skill, then lag is a factor. http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/29_NesTea How long are people going to be using lag as an excuse? If Destiny was such a bad player, then Bomber would have crushed him even with lag.

That Axslav-Destiny series was one of the worst I've ever seen.
I think IGN might need to rethink their format. First we had all that wait after the qualifiers, then a 3-day break of broadcasting building up this day of mediocre players playing medioocre games. I enjoyed watching the qualifers, but I think those will remain the highlight of the tournament for me. I just can't be excited for this.

So far looking good for europe in the battle over the atlantic. 10 Europeans and 6 NA in winners bracket. gogo europe
|
Nice play by Tarson, but pretty slopy with defending banshe harass in the first game.
|
Stream doesn't load for me. Happens quite a bit where I just see a very blurry picture but nothing actually happens after that

axslav doesn't know destiny uses NP? lol double stargate into double robo collossuss fail...
|
Why didn't Destiny target down the pylon??? :O WTF???
|
Well that sucked ):
Just as a game. I like both players.
|
Should have pulled a few more drones a bit earlier. Lings were out just a few seconds too late. Close call.

Destiny is playing SOOOOOOOO well and then he loses to this cheese even with pool first, just because of one bad decision. So sad for him

I think he had a brain fart because that was a really bad cannon defence. Axslav even messed up his rush by not putting down the wall.

Really, really sad, he would have deserved the win.
But it was funny, that the casters said "really well played by axslav", even though he kind of messed up that cheese and only won through luck (destiny not focusing the pylon). They read the whole game wrong.
Well, nevermind. I hope Destiny wins the next game straight up :_) LOVE his "new" style.

I wouldn't mind seeing dark archons...

fast 3rd > infestors, whats the Z gonna do? Move his 4 spines and siege it? Rushing to infestors is borderline cheese because if Toss knows it coming, he can take a third before the zerg. And Axslav still sorta played bad.

Darkforce fighting!
So strong in ZvT.

Looking forward to all the games! ^_^

Destiny could just kill him with a Ling+Infestor timing attack. No the best answer to Infestors is HT.

Am I missing something? Why are these LR threads so small?

Cause there's IPL content on every single day so people don't know when they are casting random replays and when it's the actual tournament.
