Hmm. Both players are currently trying to find themselves in terms of playstyle. However, Grubby is a legend in a prior game, and I think that will propel him ti a 3-1 Victory.

Yeah but i saw him streaming right before the match against galaxy and he seemed to be really tired (i think it was one day after his all-night casting). Time has passed by and he has improved a lot plus I don't think he will be that tired for this series. So overall i think he might clearly win this match.

I am not saying IcaruS is the favourite here, not in any way, but I hope for a good and close match by both sides. I just said that, beacuse he is lesser known and the team in general is, so people underestimate the player and their potential

Rooting for Grubby, gogo, hope for a good games
|
gl Icarus, but he shouldn't play too close to the sun.
|
Game one was amazing. Stunning play from Grubby.
|
I am glad he has shifted towards getting High Templars out, as I have always felt like he has amazing storms.
|
update results pls.. couldnt watch the stream now. =\
|
|
Results so far: + Show Spoiler +1-1 at the moment. Grubby won the 1st game, Icarus the 2nd.
|
Is this still going? the stream isnt working for me :x
edit: Nevermind. its back
|
Hey, could the caster make his mouse visible? i know that it is an option on xsplit.
Otherwise really enjoying this, caster doing a great job

I'm not at all impressed with that gateway (fast upgrade) charge/blink into storm play... or archons. It allows Terran to get so many medivacs, nearly equal upgrades and ghosts early and with good emps and kiting , there is just no way that the Protoss will hold a good terran.
I think fast upgrades are good but you need a robo (colossus) to deal with terran. Its not just a powerful unit, but also forces vikings which means, less healing power, less drop risk since Terran has not so much medivacs and a lot of gas goes into vikings...
CreatorPrime likes dual robo and I think its the way to go, since yes, vikings counter colossus but 7 colossi will deal damage, ALWAYS. And from that point you should have 4 base running and reinforce with a lot of gateway units after you lost your colossi. But yeah :/ Just my point of view, I just disagree with the Protoss using the gateway style.

Who is this commentator btw? He's got a bit of a strange voice, but he sounds quite knowledgeable.
Good forcefields by Grubby this game in that encounter in the middle of the map.

I don't really get Icarus' play this game, he knew there were HT's out for ages but only got ghosts at the 20 minute mark when Grubby had already gone into double robo Colossus, then he was hardly prepared for that had Grubby pressed.
In the end infinity storms kill vikings before they can engage and Colossus reign triumphant.

Unsure, seems pretty good. Said he has a speech impediment but it doesn't take away from his commentary for me atleast.
