Goody's got this shit :D woot!
|
Hm I'm curious how Stephano will perform in the tournament. He has a lot of potential and I'd love him to show how good he actually is. Should be a lot of interesting games. hf everyone!
|
Oh i am so cheering for Goody this evening
The strongest players in this tournament are in my opinion Stephano, Hasu and ofc. Goody.
|
hooo i'm looking forward! sick player list
|
Mana fighting!! Protoss power!

w00t?
i dont even...

Amazing lineup. Looking forward for the cup.
As a GoOdy fan hoping he´s advancing to the final and perhaps once again against lalush. Will be very entertaining.
But with all the good player and Mana on fire lately I think Mana or Stephano will advance from the bottom side of bracket to the final.
Can´t wait for it just a bit over one hour!

The tournament grid is now published on the GIGABYTE Cup website. There might be some changes or defwins in case players are not showing up in time.
For example Nerchio was already replace by Satiini. Also HasuObs probably won't attend due to holidays. DeMusliM is a potential successor for his slot but might be also unavailable due to his journey back from MLG Raleigh.
Long story short: Here are the Round1 matches starting at 16:00 GMT (+00:00) tonight! The complete grid can be found here.
Tonight's stream are listed above, at http://www.gigabyte-cup.com or here on TeamLiquid in the EventCalendar - GG HF everyone!

Why Nerchio can't attend ?
|
Rooting for Beasty. SUP SON.
|
Goody and Ddoro fighting!
|

|

He is on vacation. Same as HasuObs. Also elfi didn't show up although I talked to him yesterday. So we had two defwins in round 1 for Delphi and Stephano.
|
Delphi leads 1:0 versus Goody on ST
Kas 0:1 Stephano on Shakuras
|
Nice game by stephano, nice defence against bunker rush and totally crushing Kas in macro game afterwards. Looked really strong, but I think if Kas used the time till he had all the mutas up I might have gone different
|
Kas's TvZ isn't so good 
|
|
|
DIMAGA vs Goody coming up, hope it will be interesting.
|
I'd prefer ZvP to ZvT, but sadly all Protosses did not turn in 
|
Goody is so good in harassing early on...
|
Goody, so predictable but still, unstoppable :D
Hey, devoting my first post to the Panzer Genral
|
from now on all game will be played successively
|
7 Queens for Dimaga : lol !
|
|
|
DIMAGA wins. Goody was not able to harass successfully in the early game, went two port banshees and got no dmg done. DIMAGA attacks with a maxed Brood/Infestor/Corruptor army with queen support and rolls over Goody.

Dimaga was about 218 supply, he built spines
|
final attack was 200 hundred, goody roasted some drones...
|
|
|
I find it so hard to break through a terran defense. It's not that they defend well but it is their unit being too good to break through.
hoping stephano will show me some guide
|
satiini throw his game away, like always
|
I think he played well, but without early damage terra cant win late games against a zergs like stephano.

Dimaga vs Stephano time to revenge ;p
|
|
|
|
|
Satiini wins 2:0 over Goody.
Now ZvZ DIMAGA vs Stephano.
|
For the second map in the final when Stephano disconnceted , both players agreed to play a regame by themselves - real sportsmen!
|
And once again Dimaga shows that his ZvZ is top notch.
GG wp Dimaga
