WTF did ganzi did? he missed the spawning position with banshee, I REALLY thought his blue flame finished srsly wtf happened to that upgrade? lifted 1 before it was complete?
and btw, some conspiracy thought, they asked MVP at the red stream after his win against boxer which one he would like to me at the finals, MMA or boxer, but mean while the series between MMA and ganzi wasn't even over. MAYBE?
|
Are we honestly supposed to believe that Ganzi just said "fuck it, i'm gonna play this one blind."? Really?

Mate Koreans don't get the Code A spot only the Code S.

What was that upgrade mistake?

The games weren't as good and the casters aren't as amazing, so I'm not surprised.

Yeah i am inclined to agree with you, but it will force them to train so they will atleast have zero excuses next time around.

well if ganzi won, he would have played boxer for a code S spot so I don't think he would throw that away that easy

No, blue stream is definitely getting watched - all the feedback is going in the red stream thread though.
Separating blue stream vs. red stream LR threads definitely did not work out.
|
Thanks for the casting throughout the event, phenomenally done Bitters and Husky :D
|
Ganzi lifted his factory to swap onto his reactor (that was on the barracks). This cancelled the blue flame a SECOND before it finished!! I don't think he could have won the battle if he had the blue flame but I think the cancellation of his blue flame forced him to do an all out attack as well as the failed banshee.
|
They were def some gems over here though. Such as Ganzi vs MVP. Much better than whatever Red had at that time. So much better, that I even I can't recall which match it was.
|
Great work Mr. Bitter (the revelation!) and Husky (long time fan), I thought beforehand that you would be a great casting combo and you haven't disappointed me. It's been a pleasure and I will look forward to hearing more from both of you two in the future.

Thanks for the casting Husky and Mr. Bitter, really good duo.

Sadly I agree, it appears to be the end of western players being able to compete. Really a shame, cause the first year of SC2 was just amazing. Ahhh well, there is always SC3.

Wooooooo Mr Bitter! He and Husky did a terrific job all weekend, I'm gonna have to start watching ESL casts when he starts up on them :D

EG can't get better in a vacuum, I agree, but if more team houses spring up, the foreign competition gets tougher and wins get increasingly more hard to get, then we will get synergy through competition and evolution, hopefully closing down that gap...

Alot of the games today were streamed on both at the same time.

That is true but even games that were only on Blue stream was discussed in that thread. And when the Red stream had downtime it was even more so.

Since the Koreans keep taking our money, why would anyone make an investment as large as starting a professional team house from scratch?
