Dang, awesome matches incoming!
|
Why have 6 players still not played their Week 1 matches?
|
3 mirror matches? Really?
|
NASL. So much fail! xD
Hope they get back on soon. D:
|
|
That was fun. Everything just kind of... exploded.
|
I assume the stream is down for everyone, right? Also, go HuK!

HuK vs. Axslav being skipped?
|
hopefully they are using this down time to find another caster than gretorp
|

There was some technical difficulties with Match 1 between Huk and Axslav. We are working on it and will be showing at after the other matches.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Timely response. I like that a lot. It shows that NASL really cares about its watchers.

Well, there's only 8 players in each group now, but the schedule says the groupstage is still 8 weeks long. So there'll be weeks with 4 matches and weeks with only 3 matches.

You're an idiot, somebody responded to you on page one.
It isn't even hard information to find. It is an 8 week season, every player gets a week off.

There seems to be a lot less hype and viewers for this NASL. Hopefully they can end up doing well enough to justify further investment.

I'm actually really enjoying watching the NASL, sure we don't have the Koreans, but it lets me get a good look at a lot of other players. A good opportunity for someone to make a name.

I'm pretty sure I had a video interview after my match, kinda disappointed they didn't put it in
|
liquidbet on cloud, darkforce huk and mana
|
Rain has a 86% win percentage on the NA ladder, he surely is no slouch. So that was a great victory for Cloud.

Also, guy who says Gretorp is bad in every LR, just shut up.

I think its kinda embarrassing to see professionals on a whole letting trolls who honestly don't believe what they're posting get to them. Its just making you look stupid tbh.
Every celebrity gets these types of people but it just seems like the esports scene people don't srug it off like other industries people do.

Its not an PR agent thing its just a professionalism thing. Artosis stopped coming on tl beacuse he was worried he'd get angry and do something stupid and lose his job. He shouldn't really have to worry about it and just shrug off the trolls and not feed them. That guy who always insults you and gets you angry will just keep insulting you.

They stopped lineing up after eachother after the battle of Trafalgar. The single BS battle in WW1 was likewise with the same strategy but the germen ships never sacrificed its armor for speed and paid for it. The small skirmish's afterwords had a lot of zig zaging to get away from a stronger fleet.

oh man darkforce is killing me, 'started going to the gym' - fell off my chair
no insult intended !

well my liquibet is getting thrashed right now. I somehow misunderstood darkforce for painuser and voted against him -_-

rofl Darkforce bm'img Haypro hardcore

cruncher looks like he gained a lot of weight since last season

"I would have been really angry if I lost because Haypro has been playing terrible" "I didn't practice for Haypro, just played like it was ladder"

And I'd counter that the vast majority of celebrities don't interact with the general public in any meaningful way, probably for that very reason.
I'm obviously not comparing Gretorp to a movie star, but it's a general comparison. Here's a better analogy. I frequent an MMA forum. There used to be a lot of UFC level fighters who posted on it. As MMA became more popular, the trolls got worse, and the fighters stopped posting.
The onus is on us, the general public, to not act like entitled shit heads if we want the celebrity style people to continue interacting with us.

So easy he practices his ZvT lol

Lol wow Huk is fucking fearless.
|
Wow axslav epic holds. but axslav's going for a ob instead of an immo.
so close I really can't wait to see what huks gona do next.
|
Axlav trying to get 2-3 immortals so he can push down and kill the pylon
|
if huk lets axslav get his immo count up hes dead.
|
Can anyone tell me who the casters today with Gretorp are?
|
I hate this colossi are better then immos against blink stalkers from pros. its just wrong. if axslav had 7 8 immo's huk would be dead
|
Pretty close game we have here.
|
Wow huk might just pull this one out.
|
Lol they actually mined out their mains. Thats pretty hardcore!
|
|
Great first game after everything.

That was really good blink micro considering how much lag he must have, playing from KR.

That's the second time I have seen PvP go around 25 mins on 1 base
The first was MC vs Huk, 4 gate vs 4 gate for 25 mins until MC mined out and huk had like 10 more supply
If axlav had a proxy pylon on the map, he would have won, huk wouldn't have been able to get a robo fast enough.

Top 3 control. Well 4 gate is dead, right?

He did, with better positioning and control, he attacked at a terrible angle. He needed to catch the colossi out of position.

Terrible decision making from Axlav... I thought you learn from diamond league that you have to attack if your opponent is teching to colossi from a loss. Seriously...
|
phoenix are crap pvp, not much more to it lol

Ehh, not a fan of penix in pvp...

HuK's PvP is so gosu.
How did Cloud vs Rain go? Dont Void rays do better vs Colossus? They get bonus to Massive.
I won a team game with mass void ray vs colossus, they went down so fast.

No >.< It's not Huk being gosu. It's axlav making bad strategic decision.
Just attack when only 1 colossus is out...geez
(I really refrain from critiquing pro since they're obviously much better than I am, but that game... Axlav threw the huge lead away)

PvT: 19-27 (41.3%)
How is it very good for PvT? The sample size is too small to call it bad but it's not "very good" by any means. Especially versus zerg.

Then he would rarely ever try in his matches, as he very rarely uses ghosts in his original unit composition and only uses them to remax with.

This game reminds me of ladder before the KA nerf lmao

"at what cost"? brat is 40 supply up and the gold was mined out anyway

Holy crap the casters are so biased for Mana this game, Bratok was ahead in supply for like 10 minutes and denied Manas 4th and they're still saying hes behind and needs this or that to stay in it.

totally agreed.
bratok was in the lead the whole game and yet the commentators keep saying mana was ahead with a -20 supply deficit
bratok's gold was built BEFORE his normal third and yet the commentators failed to spot that

He sat in literally every storm? Medivacs > storm really, if you have enough in medium sized engagements without colossi it doesn't even matter if you get stormed.

I don't think it's bias. I think they're just bad at reading the game. I also think Lz is just a little too shy and non-confrontational to spot and openly disagree with Gretorp's misreads.

I like how they conveniently ignore the fact that this map heavily favors terran in this matchup, and I mean heavily. It's an awful map for protoss.

It's two ex-Terrans talking about TvP. In their minds, Protoss is ahead even when they're behind

It was really the fact that he obliterated 4 colossi and a bunch of HT and sentries in the first major engage when he survived with the vikings and a few marauders.
It cost him little to remax, but MaNa on the other hand...

I don't think it's bias. I think they're just bad at reading the game.
BINGO! GREDERP has no idea what's happening.

Awesome micro from Brat. Who needs ghosts when u have nice splits  He sat in literally every storm? ? have we watched the same game? :D
Apparently not, because the only time I saw BratOk actually micro his army a bit was against two archons acting like it was 50 banelings. He sat in tons of storms without moving.

Nah, it's just the opposite in the GSL, terran nearly always wins. There are tons of great dropping locations, a lot of open space, and it's very spread out, all things that really blow chunks for protoss.

Oh and Gretorp is making some bad calls here.
some?
he completely messed up lol
brat_ok is 50 supply ahead and he is talking about manas good shape (even after losing like 5 colossi)
or his commenting on the drop where a single colossi dies to 2 marauders and he is hyping the good job the colossi does, rofl
or his call how hard it is to resupply marauders, while he kept all vikings and medivacs alive and the protoss lost literally everthing
not sure if serious

I also didn't want to criticise too heavily since casting-bashing isn't really my thing. However, I will agree that he made some awful calls that game and seemed pretty clueless as to what was actually happening.

Given the current racial balance, nearly every map will be a bad Protoss map. Would you rather have Backwater Gultch back that was ridiculously unfair to Zergs?
Bel'Shir was probably the addition met with the most skepticism, both in the GSL and here, but still, why bother with map selections when there aren't any terrain features that can be straight up abused. *blink on TDA*

Not every map is a bad protoss map, I'm talking about maps that are just blatently awful for protoss. Shakuras Plateau, for example, is a map I think is pretty good for Protoss.
But maps that have huge, wide open expansions like Bel'Shir and Dual Sight are just AWFUL for toss.

10 ghosts, 10 vikings, 8 meidvacs, rest 3-3 maroders.
bratok didnt add ghost till 25 minute mark or so? it was 2-2 vs 3-3 in the end and on top of it, that last fight was just the most unlucky position ever^^

Such a disappointment, why does Ukraine get 4 awesome players and we get 2 mediocre ones? Freaking ridiculous. He got into an awesome position after killing all of the collosus and then for some reason charged into a choke with red marauders vs storm that he knew was there- 1 storm killed 27 supply. and instead of being 20 ahead he got behind again. Instead snipe the freaking 3rd

QFT carrier/colossi I think are the future of pvt just no sustainability in non massive protoss units with ghosts around.

What, you can't do it playing SC 2?

Well no wonder MaNa got such a good PvT if his practise partners is Strelok,Morrow and Thorzain.

Does any one knows why the always play on NA server in NASL? Like the game Fenix vs Hero, why on earth would they play on NA server? The commentator doesnt like to have lag or what?
Just outright stupid, lower the quality of tournament over all. I mean even in Shoutcraft invitational they switch between servers and when their is NA vs NA player or EU vs EU player they obviously play on their "home" server. You think that if TB can manage that solo from his appartment you would think NASL would be able to do that to.

had them all right on lqiuid bet but Cloud, never expected that!!! Well Done CLoud!!!

They don't. The rules this season state that if two players live in the same region, they may play on their own server. I do not know why they played the first match on the NA server, but they definitely played the second on the KR server (oGsHero is his korean account).
If they are not in the same region, then games are played on NA by default.

Huk taught me a lot about pvp in that first game, but it appears this was played before patch 1.4 hit right? I'm unsure if more immortals would have won him that.
It was truly remarkable that he won though. By applying constant pressure and using blink effectively, he didn't let axslav expand at all while being able to expand on his own.
I wonder if axslav would have made a nexus instead of collosus and then transferred all of his probes while geting blink. IDK. PVP is such a tough matchup.

No, it was played after, you could tell that by how the 4 gate was played out (he never tried to put a pylon below the ramp and get vision to warp in.

Great play by Cloud, seems like his injury hasn't slowed him down one bit!

Haha "Machine has good ZvZ especially in MLG" Gretorp the ultimate troll.
