This is true, Kas was using a pretty dated TvT style

They should have Puma play the 2v2 game solo

Argh Brood lords were a poor choice.

Does anyone wish that they had Live Report type threads for each day? I find it really hard to follow and catch up on results with this one big thread that gets uploaded really late.

These two teams really didn't look very good, there's so much more potential in 2v2.
I absolutely love the map though. Every game should be played on it.

For example, the first 2v2 for EG vs Empire is on Discord IV, not Scorched Haven and Shattered Temple was not the 2nd map for the first 1v1.

Ugh I can't see EG being beat now, especially if they add Huk to their lineup. Huk/Puma/IdrA with Demuslim too can best almost any team ....

Yeah, they have an awesome lineup. Its inevitable for them to start putting up some good results.

It's going to come down to EG vs mouz (who went 4-0 in the first two weeks), I could see either team winning (depending on how a potential finals match had each player placed...)

You have to remember that puma and possibly huk and idra are going to be playing with korean lag. While that lineup is second to none it does present them with a big handicap. I have to agree though i see them taking this season baring some big screwup.

If only Liquid was in here.. they have a strong chance in beating EG... Hero is like the new Huk and Ret is a little stronger than Idra... No one to counter puma though, as jinro and TLO aren't doing to well

Recent results would indicate that Ret is stronger than IdrA right now but I think its probably closer then anyone could predict. That match would be pretty hard to call right now.

Honestly, I don't think that lineup is second to none... IdrA's been playing like shit lately. Even if he got better he's probably still not in enough shape to take his match. HuK is about the same level as the mouz players (probably a little higher than MorroW and a little lower than ThorZain. PuMa is the only one who should be considered "better" than mouz. Even still, all 3 of them will have Korean lag, whereas only ThorZain will have Korean lag. imo IdrA < MorroW (IdrA will go for stupid shit then leave the game after it fails) HuK < ThorZain (up in the air, but as of recently, I think ThorZain will take it. HuK would just as easily though) PuMa > MaNa (unless MaNa can show us that he's still improving steadily enough) StrifeCro/Axslav > Mouz (because mouz 2v2 isn't that great, but then again neither is StrifeCro/Axslav) PuMa = ThorZain (both are great terrans with Korean lag. Both are the ace players, and both capable of winning) 2-3 or 3-2. Should be a great match ^_^

Yup, Huk, IdrA and Demuslim are not unbeatable, the recent tournament results show that. PuMa, however, is. mouz has do clinch the series before the ace match against PuMa.

How long does it normally take for vods to be out?

Should be a great match ^_^ I don't think that the bolded part makes much sense, MorroW's ZvZ is extremely lackluster, and since he now only plays TvZ I wouldn't give him all too much credit against IdrA, since ZvT is his strongest match-up.
