6 hydras is a less than an effective counter to 15 phoenix.

MC just made that look elegant. Killer did a good job of not panicking and trying to push through the pressure. It didn't work, but I given all of the circumstances working against Killer, his mental stability was stronger than I expected.

and yeah its pretty empty there...

which sucks

Only open for press today. Other days will open the doors for regular visitors.

LOLWUT ?

thats fucking ridicolously stupid...

wow, just wow
? It's not THAT bad.

what do you mean not bad ?

I thought esports are for the people to enjoy ?

an event without any people cheering is kinda dull and lack a "soul"

imo

You know that Gamescom is not just for sc2 right..?
It's one of the biggest game conventions in the entire world, the first day gives the press the chance to look at new releases without hordes of fans around.
It appears I have been chosen.

<3 MC, maybe faster infestors would have saved killer, just hydra's wont cut it, phoenixes can keep their numbers low forever.
no dude, the question

Hydras have never been a good answer to stargate play, not sure why some ppl still think it is.

In any case, being raped by MC isn't anything to be ashamed of, and obviously any build he'll use will look broken.

Game 1: MC went for an early game Void followed by mass Phoenix/Zealot, warping onto Killers main. Killer ninja expo'd to the normal 4th. MC fell back, scouted the 3rd, took his and then ran him over.

Relax, it's not like that is IEMs decision. The GamesCon trade fair where the tourney is locaeted always has the first day reserved for industry and press only.

Everyone who wants to can still go btw, you can just buy a press pass. Just costs a lot more.



You need to prove that u really work for press in a way. but today that wont be that hard since there are so many zines/blogs/etc

No you don't, you can just buy it online in the same store you can get the visitor ticket.



There is no control that u really are working for rpess? I mean u can go there play diablo 3 all day long, right?
I thought u get controled like when u bought a students ticket (even though they dont control that).

There are no press tickets. There are trade fair tickets and visitor tickets. Trade fair ticket gets you in the first day and gets you access to the trade fair sections, which is entirely boring for anyone not working in the industry.

The tickets make no difference in the consumer section of GC, so no, you cannot play D3 all day. Unless you mean on the first day, then yes, you can just get a trade fair ticket and play D3 without the hordes of regular visitors there.
