I'm hoping he doesn't win. Not a fan at all. I'd love to see Catz take a bunch of wacky victories because he's such a neat guy. Wouldn't mind Killer having some success either.
|
I want catz to win this, just because he's kewl. And partly because he needs a big tournament win.
Mind says major, but I dunno. Something about that guy.

or the other way around. I don't see anyone else taking this tournament.
Hope it's still on when i get home

No Fenix? That sucks. I guess he's in Korea huh.

rooting for either a brazilian or catz!!!
go reason, slay em all!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the style of the LA players. After seeing some crazy moves in the Chinese Invitational I think its really interesting to see if the LA players have unique strats.
If you guys want to help out updating or are just looking for some info the LP page for this is  2011 Latin American Battle.net Invitational

Yet another Blizzcon rape tournament ^^ You might want to put the time zone in [time] tags - and poke the mods to add the event in the calendar.
|
I practice with Fortune, he's a beast! Cheer for Fortune!
|
GOGOGOGOGO KT FIGHTING!!!!

Imba green screen lol. >.>
|
so nice to hear you guys! i cast the sc:bw wcg qualifier 2009 in chile, and was so fun to party with all the guys, the wcg 2010 was fun too.. i missed those days!!
i hope killer win this tournament!
hehehhe
ps: puta cabros que emoción!! que paja estar en la pega!
|
Oh snap, hopefully this gets featured ASAP.
|
i will hear the cast in spanish for give you support guys!
|
Can this get featured? The more views the better!
|
ya please, this need to be featured, latinamerican players need a lot of support!
|
+1 in regards to featuring this stream
|
LMAO drop killing a lot of workers, open worker-kill-tab, 1 (scout probe) killed
|
killer was very effective avoiding dark templars... nice mechanics like always!
|
Weird to have LA tournament without fenix. The b.net invitationals are timed really poorly IMO.
|
|
|
|
|
Hope the favorites advance, kinda weird if semi-pros go to Blizzcon
Go Killer, Go Catz =)
|
real good players
cheering for Reason!
go Brazil!

who is the other guy commenting drakan? u need to improve, but its a good start.
add me!

I must say, the quality is AMAZING!!!
Beat that ESL ;>
I hope its the same amazing quality at US regionals.
The europe was quite bad quality, far from HD as they said it would be.
This is however <3!
|
The between-match filler is kind of weird. They're showing SC2 cinematics, including the one after you beat the final mission, major spoilers if you haven't played the single player.

Black screen would be better for you? or ads? They put a timer up for next game not like you have to sit and watch the cut scenes over and over :s.
I've watched them many times but they are still cool and with the quality of this stream all the better :D.

This has been like this since release for Blizzard. Mx is both LA and NA in the literature, but only LA for Blizzard, that makes sense as the separation is linguistic + cultural and not just geographic.

killer is really good, not to be underrated.
catz/capoch/reason will make it interesting
major has to be considered the favorite though.
Wish Fenix could be there GL ALL

yeah i wanted fenix too but he decided to go korea ^ ^
+ Show Spoiler +now that he is out code A, im hoping that he will do better in gstl
|
Quality of stream is GREAT! :D CatZ vs Capoch playing so fun games! :D
Only seen CatZ and Killer play before, so looking forward to se the other players! ^^ So far a very good tournament.. Doesnt seem like many people know about this, I just saw day9's twitter myself.. Im sticking around to watch this at least..
Day9 and JP makes it even better.. :D
|
cant wait to watch sixjax major 
|
today what rounds will be streamed?
|
Roach+Immortal... Pretty good vs Stalkers.

LOL Roach immortal counters stalker. <3 idra reference

Woah, FG & NP-Immortals while sniping the gold! Catz stepping up in his play! GoGo!

Capoch is surprisingly good. Last time I heard, all he did was all-in every single game. Sad he lost.

Is it just me or does Day[9] look unbelievably tired? Probably just me.
Also: ZOMG SPOILERZ

Holy fucking spoilers batman

Now comes Major... he's gonna win this, not sure if easily... but for sure he will.

KT's ReasoN it's pretty damm good man...
major won't have a easy series

I think reason can win this game
go go KT.Reason!
Go Brazil

KT_Reason for me. Never been too much of a major fan. Brazil/Arg ftw!

i feel like that lag won't be fixing itself anytime soon

Major's posture is making me sad, lol :X
shouldn't monitors be like eye-level? ;x
|
Sad to see Maker not participate. He would have had a good chance to make the finals.
|
|
|
|
|
This production is amazing. Whoever is in charge deserves a full time job running live streams!
|
Damn, Reason has really good muta micro. Sick reaction time.
|
Reason actually looks really impressive, never heard of him before. Very polished looking play.
|
Stream quality confirmed for bonjwa
|
ReasoN is a bw fomer. He managed to beat silent.control at wcg 2005
|
|
|
Really nice drop play from major ^^
|
Hold on, this doesn't look like "drops keeping him controlled"... Did Reason stop using his broodlords because he saw them glitching?
edit: I have no idea what just happened.

Holy shit Major's posture

i'm not 100% sure, but i guess the guy playing here is same as this one: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/international/players/1135_ReasoN
he was on LRM, MYM and afaik on ToT as well during the good old BW days. he was pretty solid.
|
Damm Reach, what did you do?? Could have won that easy after that lead. So sad to see.
|
Reason omg.. u fked up
|
How do I watch the english stream? Can only find the spanish one
|
|
|
Drops were to much for his multitasking, although he had a big lead
|
|
|
|
|
Poor Reason, had that game with better macro and possibly a macro hatch. Not to mention better multitasking abilities. Ah well, comeback time.

well i hope he can advance =)

im manager of KT team..same team that reason plays..i can say that he was nervous..he did mistakes he never does...like forgeting about BLs when attacking.

Damn, Major was loosing his ass that game but did very well with his drops. Reason just couldn't keep up. That Gspire snipe is just golden; it takes like 200 in game seconds just to remake that.

what the /%&/ is the "demonio" in spanish translation?
is the hellion???
|
Reason needs to work on his muta control.
|
hopefully all these lag spikes will lead to lan ^^
|
I neither hate or love Major. But from seeing streems from other players like Sheth etc I know he is a master of dropping and multitasking. Doesnt even look like he is playing his best here. Have often seen him do 3-4 drops at the same time while being safe at home. I think he will take this. But Reason looks damn good.... he just fucks up at some weird times... cuz he looks damn good.
|
Wow these guys controls are TERRIBLE!!! no micro at all
|
so sloppy from both players lol
|
Does anyone know how many more games will be played today? will the upper bracket semi finals be played today or tomorrow? Couldn't find a schedule anywhere.

oooh reason
y bad muta control?

Reason did it again, lol. With more army control he would have wrecked Teran.

Seriously? I am getting tired of the negativity in the sc2 community. Did you not see all the stuff happening across the map? It looked like top notch play from both, but reason had som multitasking errors that cost him the games.

Too bad for Reason, he made more mistakes in game 2 and still couldn't quite either contain Major or at least handle his drops. Loser bracket run for Reason now.

damn catz vs major
gogo catz you can do it!!

A side not from the games: This production is not as epic as the euro coverage. Its just studio matches. I still love it. But I wonder why they did a live event with audience for europe while doing a studio thing for south america.
PS: This is not meant is whine. Just wondered. Its a great production. But why not have an audience?
|
The stream has such high quality and it didn't lag even once! Reason should've completely owned Major in the second game if he had better muta control, it wouldn't be even close.

Half of the players in this invitational are not very famous on the community, maybe the big production was not worth at all =/

Not really worth it, as most of those players' fans live in South America and most can't spend that much money going there.
Go dKiLLeR!! Beat 'em all! :D

I much preferred the music they played at the EU tourament tbh, this is way too repetitive.

That is because they are playing at Blizzard HQ as far as I know. The reason for that is that LA is not a single country and there is HUGE buroucracy to get Visas and do anything. So it's not like the LA fans could travel (and money is a big problem as well of course).
So instead of paying expensive for a live event in Brazil or Mexico where only people from that country would be able to participed, they decided to make it in US and stream to everyone and that's it! So more money to the champion or whoever.

The EU event was held by ESL, not Blizzard. They properly couldn't get a partner to do the US/LA event. And blizzard properly don't have the capacity to have a big live audience at their HQ.

I'm not sure who to root for, either Killer or Catz. I'll probably go for Killer, just because he's Dignitas :>

What headsets are they using? IEM uses the same ones, I've always wondered what brand they were.

they will play LB.
tomorrow the will continue with WB? or today until which round they will stream?
|
LOL
nice lings reason
10 workers!
|
Wow he lost so many probes.

|
Very good stream. Such pretty pictures.
|
The stream quality is fantastic
|
lol Capoch about to get pwned
guessing he's waiting for +1 atk?
|
Toss is going to get rolled this game. No way you can take a third like that.
|
Ironicly Reason was harder for Capoch than Catz
|
it's not very exciting
|
Why ironically? Reason has always been a very good player, just not as well known as Catz.
|
Reason is definetely more well-rounded than catz but the flaws he has are bigger, if that makes any sense.Anyways, capoch tried to do too much stuff at once : robo, templar archives, third nexus, etc. ergo he had no army to speak of.
|
major is going to take it, easy...
|
Blizz streaming is super high quality. I wonder do they have their own setup or use a 3rd party?

gj Reason!
it seems that not many of you know about reason. He is a great player!

Haven't seen Capoch play in awhile, he still 4 gating every single game? Not really suprised to see him knocked out.
Oh and
CATZ FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Is it starting in 6 minutes or 1 hour and 6 minutes?
|
It's back!! Wake up everyone
|
I think we should see the spanish casters if we're watching the stream on spanish -.-
|
killer highly underrated in na i think, he will take it
|
The casters in the spanish stream are from Chile, right?
So weird to watch sc2 casted in spanish.
I'm gonna watch the english stream anyways but I was curious about the spanish stream.
|
yea, they're both chileans. both of them are administrators of sc2la.com.

Near mirror builds going down.

Killer ahead after big baneling hits on drones, and now both are going for spire, with killer ahead

Even though there is a Brazilian stream, I'm watching in english. Not because I dislike the BR stream, I just love Day9.
Btw, NASL and MLG should learn from Blizzard. Perfect stream.

I also really like how if you change your quality up or down the stream stays constant and doesn't refresh. Great stream Blizzard
|
killer's just too good
|
|
|
in how many minutes is the next match??? damn schedule
|
Man, I want killer to take this tournament. His ZvZ is lookin' good and judging from last game, Major's TvZ looks weak. Gogo Chile!!

Bah, bling bust failed for Catz and he promptly lost. I guess Killer might have an answer for knocking Major into the lower bracket.
|
Damn sick game by Major!
+ Show Spoiler +Major opens reactor hellions and scouts CatZ roach warren - Catz cancels roach warren after Major scouts it and goes into a 2 base ~25 drone bling bust. Major has switched his rax back onto reactor after 2 hellions and does a sick defense pulling scvs really well and barely losing anything. Major then pushes while CatZ is redroning and going lair with some a few tanks and does some nice high ground tactics.
|
That was pretty crushing.
|
WOW. this is awesome! great games so far and the stream quality is insane
|
Insane stream quality, thanks blizz.
|
cmon catz!! u can do it!!
|
why would he change to infestors like that :S
|
Floating 1.5k gas is now 'great macroing'. Quality of games so far is rather disappointing to be honest, but it does seem rather laggy for the players. I expected Major to be much more dominating then he currently is.

How so? See how fast they blew that gas through? They don't seem to be having lag at all.

Catz

Who are the two people commentating in Spanish? They are pretty good.

Catz needs better mechanism :< Strategy isn't enough >.<

I love JP and Day9 casting together.

JP couldn't resist saying Artosis pylon :D

CatZ was looking a little bit rusty, but luckily he managed to tie it up. Go for it!

|
Why aren't more people watching/LRing this? Not great games but day is hilarious
|
warpgate hasn't even started for retro, that sucks.

Oh boy, not the guy I remember. Reason back in the broodwar days used to play random ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/c/cb/RaceIcon_Random.png) I still have in mind his appearance at WCG a couple of years ago, didn't win the whole but showed some decent skills. Todays games were way different from what I expected. Not Good Games. Great cast tho, as usual.

There's nothing coincidental about it. He scared the Probes away from the main and then dropped Infestors to catch them at the nat. Pimpest play of 2011 so far

Oh, yeah, that is true, not sure how I forgot about that immediately after seeing it happen. Still, I don't think I've ever seen them catch transferring workers like that.

Destiny neural'd a HT vs Socke and stormed Socke's own probes. I'd dare say that's the pimpest.

This is a joke. Catz and Killer are basicly playing random players thrown together at the last minute. Lets see who gets a free ride to blizzcon.

MajOr is now a "random player".
And so are the two best Zerg players of Brazil - who mind you, would beat the crap out of you - or the best Protoss in Argentina(Capoch).
So sad that neither lamp, Potiguar nor wzp were invited, but I guess they had schedule/visa issues(it's a pain to get a USA visa).
These guys aren't "random", they have their names in the Latin American community - which, by the way, is what matters in a latin american invitational. Maybe they aren't really top-players, but they aren't "random players thrown at the last minute".

I miss Fenix.
Fenix, Major, Catz, Killer, that would have been awesome.

The competition level is still terrible in comparison to the EU qualifier. Even Catz, Major and Killer would be considered weaker players in that field, with someone like Retro being way below that. It is rather ridiculous that the prize pool and prize distribution for both the tournaments are identical given that... although it is understandable given that they're supposed to be (but just aren't) equal events in different locations.

How do you think Korea feels?
They're trying to attract a varied audience not run the most competitive tournament. Getting a couple of players from each region is the best they can do. The same can be said about WCG for brood war (and likely SC2).

Just because the level is terrible that players cant take this prize pool. They're pretty good and trying to make their way for competitive gaming. Reason was a internacional player that won for many good players.
The prize pool is a incetive to our cenario

If it were meant to be the very best players in the world it would be 31 Koreans and Huk.
Stop whining, it's meant to be the best few players from each region.

Wait, are you implying that US and EU should have lower prize pool than Korea? That's what your logic suggests since Koreans skill level are definitely higher.

its amazing how some people just dont understand the diference from playing ladder and fighting in tournments, how the nerves gets into your game play. Also how much of "pros" we all are when watching the stream but failing in ladder.
Not to say this is about Latin American, nobody cares about how much better other regions maybe. Just like someone said up there if you think that way everyone should just stop playin and leave Starcraft 2 to the koreans.
Great tournements nice to see team mates fighting in the big scene, feel sad for reason...he could have taken down Major real easy in those games.

Hey guys thanks for all the good feedback for our stream. This is our first time going live for a huge tournament with an amazing support from an incredible team.
Our Spanish is kinda neutral because we can't speak like we do in Chile since is going to all latinamerica and well... we try our best.
There have been good games and bad games as every tournament and that makes sense because of all the Visa issues for latinamerican countries. It's kinda hard to get to USA... Thanks everybody for the feedback.
It has been a great experience to be at Blizz HQ for us and all the guys there have been very supportive. We hope to bring up the latinamerican scene and there are many players that are wandering around that weren't able to shine as the one that live in the US. KiLLeR is one of them and there are many others that will come in the future.
Haters gonna hate

Yes, from Chile it seems. And with that many 'custom words' they use, its awful to watch. I watched the english stream instead
Can't handle the translation.

hehehe we are forced to speak it in spanish lololol :D.
We would like to say the unit names in english but there are certain rules for casting so yeah, you guys are gonna hear the unit names in the name they have for each language.

During the European Qualifiers, we had a Polish stream as well as the standard, English one.
Surprised as I may be, I must admit, that our local casters did a pretty good job under those circumstances. They didn't refrain from throwing in an English phrase here and there, but that didn't deteriorate the overall quality. People are simply used to hearing about roaches, hellions and spine crawlers, and there honestly is little merit in translating those words. Maybe you should try this approach yourself?

That doesn't matter. The same could be said when "foreigners" go to Korea. The point goes to participation.
Besides, you can never assume they will look ridiculous as LA players played last year and they didn't look bad.

Okay, so the World Cup should only have Brazil, Argentina, England, Germany, Italy, France and Spain...since they are the ony ones that will have a shot in the title. Lets just ignore the rest of the world and forget what competition and fun is about

Not impressed by JP's casting, liked him more back when still did MLG in 2010, maybe he's rusty.
also getting a bit tempted to buy the blizzcon virtual ticket, anyone who have bought it before knows if it's worth 30€? 
|
it was streamed ^^ catz played so well
|
Major wasn't playing his best yesterday but still won every match. I want to see him play his best so that we see some great games!
|
wow JP wearing a sick mlg shirt.
so lucky.
|
major only play against zerg all tourney lol
|
Killer's computer was attacked by Eagle <3
LOL now's Major's
|
LAN? i heard it's pretty good Blizzard !
hope the games can get underway soon
|
Sigh at lag at Blizzard's own tournament. Like yesterday, how ironic.
|
Day9 -"They need to nerf blueflame helions"
|
So the prize spread is still 10/5/3k for top 3? Congrats to Catz on at least grabbing top 3.
|
but the best prize is get in top2 for the blizzcon main tourney
|
Major is probably gonna be 1st, Catz and Killer

Watching this actually feels dirty...

More like Killer unable to finish the game. Kinda sloppy by him. No burrow for example, he should have had burrowed infestors around the map fungalling scvs, or at least forcing turrets from Major. It also looked like he got overlord drops but then never did anything with it.

Poor Major, his worst match is TvZ and he has only played vs zerg all this tournament :p

Come on, stop complaining about the level. At least Sean is cracking up and having the time of his life

I don't like how killer controls his banelings

Killer:
Game 1: Ling/bling/muta - lose
Game 2: Infestor/ling/ultra - win
Game 3: ling/bling/muta *facepalm*
|
Major refuses to siege. Honorable fellow!
|
major showing buttcrack like a champ
|
So frustrating to watch. Instead of sending his mutas to attack the tanks, he keeps on sending them to attack the marines. It makes me mad to watch this.
|
Major wins because of mules. Terran would not be able to throw army after army like that without them and at the same time expanding.

2 bases terran > all macro!

I remember how awesome the campaign was now.

CatZ going for his standard 1base infestor ;].
I hope he goes to Blizzcon, even though I like Killer's overall solid play a bit more. There has to be some crazy stuff @ BC .
Edit: Holy shit, that was amazing from CatZ, 1base infestor into beautiful timing push. Impressive, I'm starting to like his crazy stuff way more!
|
Haha, Catz exhaled noticeably after holding off that first wave of lings and roaches.
|
Love it when infestor play works :D

and THAT's why this is a solid build!

Epic game. Also need a gif of JP and Day9 flipping those tables.

Are there VODs of the games?
|
But I thought Major was from Australia?
|
Catz needed a second hatchery to make more zerglings. He was so close to winning there when Killer had no blings for a time but Catz was floating over 500 minerals. The advantage of waiting a while for Catz's second hatch is nullified by the opportunity cost of a potential killing blow.

This game is crazy so far.

Wow, that stream quality is pretty good.
|
Stream quality is sick for this event, I wish other events could get the same quality for free as well.
|
so intense!!! 1-1 cmon killer!! one more and u can get your vengeance over major!!
|
Chile showing one more time that we are few but strong!!
|
wow this is ridiculous lol
|
|
|
this game is actually fucking insane
|
This is perhaps the most entertaining ZvZ I've seen in a long, long time. Really loving the mass Infestor use.
|
|
|
|
|
Sickest ZvZ i have ever seen.
|
What a crazy intense game!
|
|
|
aaaaaaaaaaah what a huge misstep by Catz :S
|
So close Catz
|
Holy shit the quality of the stream is amazing
|
This game is actually insane.
|
|
|
sick game, catz had it if he didnt lose those 4 full energy infestors at killers south most base, he had half his drones there, 4 fungals wudda been gg.
|
|
|
Cause he can't believe he was so close on missing out of Blizzcon.

doesn't know how far behind he is, and he is playing for 2k, and a chance at 30 k more + a blizzcon ticket.

With two grand and a BlizzCon spot on the line, I can see why he'd play it out to the bitter end. I don't play Zerg but I'd imagine he either doesn't realize how far behind he is, or thinks he can outlast Killer.
|
killer so happy, it's nice to watch
|
|
|
congratulations killer!! i know u will won!!
|
lol, most enjoyable zvz ever!
|
:-( ahh, man...CaTz deserved that ...
|
|
|
Nice game from Killer. Catz had both those last two games at a few points but couldn't put his opponent away. Now Killer can avenge his earlier loss to Major!
|
Yeah Killer!!!, he doesnt have too many chance to play outside of online tournaments. so happy for him, hope he gets more chances to play abroad
|
too bad, catz had like 3 chances on the last 2 games to just kill him xD
very good games!
|
Haha! there's killer! please take down major!!
One of the SICKEST GAMES I've ever seen!! Really amazing from both players! I was like a prom queen girl screaming loud :D!
|
grande felipeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! gogogogogog Kill em all!!!!
|
Haven't seen such an entertaining zvz for a loooong time, if ever!
|
Killer vs Major is gonna be SICK
|
I'm glad Killer won, he played well and put on a good show.
As for CatZ, after all that bad mouthing of Koreans being in american tounries and stealing the prizepools, it's funny he can't even place top 2 for the blizzcon invite in a Latin invitational in which he's arguably favourite. No excuses this time eh.
|
I hated that game, i was just angry and screaming at my monitor cuz catz dident do what i wanted him to do! >.< Its so easy when your not playing yourself =P

Yup. Killer didn't deserve his win. It was god's will that he wins, not his hard work or good decision making!
|
killer played really well, congrats on moving on.
|
Nice game, Infestordrops are the real killer in ZvZ. A few days ago i lost to my opponent due he harrased my 3rd and main with infested terrans & FG. Even if you see the unload in time, they burrow and spit those inf. terrans everywhere, kill your hatch or tech. Will try this as well :D
|
Grande felipe!!!! sacando la cara por chile!
|
Is anyone else's stream a slideshow? Hopefully they fix it before the finals start.
|
Does anybody know if their will be any replays available?

The european qualifiers had replays and vods available after the event. I think Blizzard will do provide the same service here, too.
|
Yes, after the tournament is over. They usually put it in the bracket with two swords crossing symbols.

Have people actually watched that interview or know what he actually meant? There's absolutely nothing there that you can call "badmouthing" other than the people that make up stuff when they talk about it after hearing what other people have said about it.

OMG awasome game!
Congrat Killer!... now 4-0 major!!.. remember final vs Fenix in brazil !!
|
|

So Killer vs Major... Is it another BO3? Does Major have some kind out advantage coming out of the WB?

I think dKiller has to win two BO3s, while Major only has to win one. That was the ruleset in the EU Invitational at least, and I guess they share the same rules.

My stream keeps resetting itself to a lower quality. My connection can fully handle the 2.2mb stream, and seemed to do so fine yesterday. Anybody know how to keep it on the high quality? :/

no if this was like MLG major would be up 2-0 playing a best of 7.

Have you tried reloading the page and clicking on the 2.2mb option before it can reset to lower quality? I had the same problem and that worked for me.

Yup, basically, if Killer defeats MajOr in the first BO3, then MajOr is knocked down to the loser's bracket, and then they face in the second BO3 on equal terms.
*Just felt I had to clarify a little bit, as there was some confusion in the EU thread *

Major has terrible engagements, but his macro is very good
|
major is so fat
User was warned for this post
|
|
|
come on Killerrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
|
anyone know why Major isn't wearing anything sixjax?
|
I've never felt Day be so zerg biased before. He made that game seem way closer than it actually was.
|
Killer lost that when his counter with all the mutas and banelings killed absolutely nothing.
|
Major really has amazing macro

EDIT: @watson, I think that it's just his job to make the games seem close and interesting, rather than just bias.

As a former Zerg-Pro Day9 is kind of in love with the swarm. Especially now after Ret won the european invitational - he just made 2 dailies about Ret's play ^^
|
Killer is trapping those hellions so well
|
One queen and one spine crawler at the nat against mass hellions. Very optimistic...

That's right. I was thinking more of the MLG rule when a WB player meets a LB one in the finals and they hadn't played earlier. But in this case, Killer has already lost to Major obviously.

So what am i watching here the mickeymouse qualifier for people with a LA background that get a easy road towards Blizzcon? dont tell me that they have 24K prizepool for this aswell cause ill cry T__T
|
That's not what extended series means. Winning two bo3 is what double elimination entails. The 2-0 advantage is extended series.
|
10k for latin america kinda ridiculous :D
|
Seriously, 10K for beating those 7 players.. seriously blizzard.... seriously?
|
|
|
Major is like: "I just won 10,000 $, no big deal". LOL

The prize pool and distribution for all qualifiers are the same. The North American qualifier players benefits from this (due to the lower quality of players) somewhat as well in comparison to the EU one, albeit not nearly as much so as this one.
|
major uses the strat ive been saying is the future of TvZ forever
mass thors, some tanks, some hellions, attack right when the zerg finishes his 5bases and tier3 tech, the thors destroy roaches and everything because the zerg cannot have enough NP / broodlords / ultras in time.
even if majors push fails, he now is equal on the zerg in bases and can make thor/viking/marauder/hellion to combat ling/bane/infestor/broodlord/ultra
|
Holy fuck Day9 speaking spanish.. oh.o wait.
|
yeah, saw that coming. gl terran, you earned it.
|
To the smug assholes, put it in perspective: what would you think if the Koreans looked at EU or NA and said, "$10,000 for beating these players?"
The prize pool is to encourage growth and publicity. Quit hating.

He could have enough Neural Parasites, since that tech can be gained far before Brood Lords or Ultras are available.

Also, even if this wasn't Latin America only, could anyone really say that Major and Killer in the finals isn't a legitimately high skill level?

Congrats to Major, he won as expected

Jesus Christ he is tiny :O

Day9 is a giant, holy crap.

I think it's just fair to distribute equal prizemoney. The other logic would be to hand all the money to the dominant koreans anyway.
I hope the prizepools like this encourage more players from every region to get into pro-play and start practising and competing more. By this way the foreign-scene could get more competitive and wouldn't had to cry when "their" players getting kicked out of Code A.

the push hits before the zerg can have 5 bases worth of gas for much of any amount of time
at best, the zerg will have ~1 infestor per thor. thats 1 nueral per thor, not enough considering theres hellions and probably a tank or to to kill the infestors
also the hellions force the zerg to get roaches early, reducing infestor count even more
the fact that major won i could say that proves my point but i see where your getting at. 200food of infestors destroys 200food of thors, the problem is the zerg will be limited on gas and cant have 3 infestors per thor

I don't disagree with the prize pools being the same, but it is very obvious that this was a far lower level of competition overall than the EU qualifiers, and that it's consequently easier to get the same amount of money and the same Blizzcon invite. It's just a pseudo-unfortunate side effect of encouraging competition and make it appear to be the same level of tournament (even if it's not).

Sorry bro i didnt know you would be mad.
Anyways they should've just merged LA with NA for the qualifiers, they money is nice and all, but they dont stand a chance of winning anything at blizzcon, maybe Major can take a game off someone but i doubt it.

Considering Major has beaten Naniwa in tournament play before and Ret said he practiced for the past month with Major, your statement is incorrect. He's as good as any other foreigner at blizzcon.

Well then what they should have done is just give all the money to GSL to increase their prize pools for August Code S.

In that case, they should merge EU and NA qualifiers as well since they dont stand a chance of winning agaist the Koreans.
