I think that demanding that a public show in Germany be hosted in English is quite selfish if not disrespectful


That's ignorant. What about the people that speak Finnish, French, Chinese, etc. etc. English is the most widely spoken language. When Carmac was casting Assembly in German that was bullshit. And I say this without English being my first language but I like most others learned it.


He talked Polish, because the audience was Polish.


Oops, I'm sorry. I meant Khaldor! Khaldor cast only in German at Assembly.


What is your point? There was an english stream with d'Apollo and totalbisquit.

Assembly isn't a finish convention. It's a Lan. On a german convention the people on stage are gonna speak german for the audience of course. You have two casts in english and you still complain. Are you freakin kidding me...


Apollo and TB casted different games. You're being deceiving by suggesting that there was an English cast for those games Khaldor cast but there wasn't.

I'm not complaining I just think it's dumb to use a language to cast that caters to a select few despite the fact most Germans learn English like the rest of us in the world did.

And I know for a fact the Germans would complain if a tournament in France was cast in French instead of English.


THE CAST IS IN ENGLISH. TWO CASTS ARE IN ENGLISH. Do you even watch the streams? Seriously...


I'm talking about Assembly because of what Carmac tweeted -_-

Anyway it's not important. I'm truly sorry for bringing it up. It was my fault because I confused Carmac with Khaldor.

Oh thanks, I thought Socke is already out because of Killer > Socke, didnt think of Select.

FYI the reason terrans all-ined Killed was because he went nexus first. You cannot let that build go unpunished.

I am protoss and approve of the decision making of the terrans who cheesed against nexus first.


And i'm terran and i think it sucks! Isn't it ironic?


Maybe it sucks, but how else do you deal with nexus first?

Nah these two, at least in this matchup, are very very close. Socke has a slight lead on macro, but Select engages better and has better micro.

God damn how many times do you have to explain that he one base all-ined because his opponent was going nexus first and there is NO other way to handle a nexus first.

It's basically macro cheese, you kill it or you're 20 supply behind after 8 minutes.

The amount of stupid hate in this thread is ridiculous. It's Killer you should be hating for causing these games, not the terrans who all-ined.

Diestar 1-base all-inned me every time we met on ladder.
Be it 1-1-1, marine tank, 4rax svs.

It's his PvT style, really abusive and annoying D:

Right now standings are:

SeleCT 2-0 (4-1)
Killer 2-1 (5-4)
Socke 1-1 (3-2)
Diestar 0-3 (1-6)

Either we get:

SeleCT 3-0 (6-2)
Killer 2-1 (5-4)
Socke 1-2 (4-4)
Diestar 0-3 (1-6)

of we get:

SeleCT 2-1 (5-3)
Socke 2-1 (5-3)
Killer 2-1 (5-4)
Diestar 0-3 (1-6)

(presuming of course that they will use map score as a tiebreaker)

what are you talking about?

first game he just blindly went 3rax all in.

2nd game he was going all in before he even scouted the nexus first.

you don't HAVE to all in vs nexus first, 1rax gasless expand or reaper expand is just as good vs it and ur not that far behind.

If socke wins this game then Select and Socke should advance. Everyone beat one of the others but Socke and Select would have 5-3 and Killer only has 5-4.
