Excited to see Sen playing on his new team. Should be vry intersting to watch the Taiwanese play as they have had TeSL going for a few months now.
Go Zergking aka Sen!
|
|
|
no clue if there are any strong players in taiwan, to me it looks like a default win by sen. anyone with deep knowledge of the tw scene up for some introductions ?
|
|
|
one sen to rule them all.
|
sen + softball please!
Also watch out for Hui, HRU, Rush.
|
shouldnt this be streamed via the blizzard's streaming service? kind of dissapointed that ustream is being used instead of blizzard's site. regardless i hope this turns out great :D

for those who seeks intro~
notable player(to me)
 Sen - a man who does not need intro : D
XpecBai - Sen used to coach him when sen was a consultant of Xpec Ironman
 Hui - took 3 games to help Xpec ironman capture the champ 4-3 over TtApollo,also beat July before
Dus - probably the top 1 or 2 protoss in TW scene
Slam - coach of semi-pro team Storm.same team with sen.Can he learn one thing or two?
HRU - HowAreYou,very very strong micro,
 DS - ripping through TeSL last season with random.Very similar to TLO.You can expect more if he settle down : )
Nifi - last season's strongest protoss of TeSL
Ball - aka softball, recently joining NASL season 2,strong terran.Had an impressive game with Sen on 8/14 TeSL
|
Softball fighting! Hope he wins and gets to go to Blizzcon.
|
well i think if anyone other than Sen/softball win, im going to be kind of disappointed.
|
Probably will be Sen and Softball again.
|
what's up with the flag? never really seen that one before...

Same Taiwanese flag that it's always been.
|
It's the Olympic flag for Taiwan. Some China drama over using the real Taiwan flag
|
Always a pleasure to see Sen ripping people to pieces :D.
Curious to see what else Taiwan has to offer as well. Think the only other notable player I've seen if Softball
|
Looking forward to this!
Sen should make it through. Would like to see Softball advance as well, and I think Hui has shown some promise before.

Probably will, TW is pretty strong on the Toss side of things.
Personally hoping DS makes it far, I saw some very fun games from him and he plays random which is awesome.

I'd not seen any of the new season 
Oh well, that's alright I guess, but I'm still kind of sad.

So I am actually watching a PVP with stargates and expansions huh?
|
The female commentator giving shout out to sen with "You see!"
|
WHY IS NO ONE ATTACKING NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE
|
Last game was terrible.....
Dus didn't scout the 3rd with a million phoenix flying around.....unbelievable
The last engagement and battle control are completely tragedy
|
Watching this Ghost of the Past trailer in Mandarin bring new perspective to this trailer. Kerrigan become Chinese  .
