tbh this just shows how hard it is to go trough open bracket in MLG. These guys who allways drop in the open bracket can take games off even from the koreans.

Starcraft really needs league that can give better opportunities to these new faces. Stop giving invites to the same guys over and over again!

Thats the good thing about IEM. No invites, completely open (at least for non-Koreans).

Or TSL. Seriously, look at the TSL line-up, and see how a ton of the 'unknown' people who qualified are now some of the biggest stars in the scene. Qualification-only tournaments are always amazing, and no tournament does a better job of picking out the next up-and-coming stars than the TSL does.

TSL was still tainted with invites... Haypro, Tyler to mention few


Tyler earned his right to be in TSL3 by winning the previous TSL. No top tournament is 100% qualification.


I generally prefer it if invites are extremely limited though, for say a pool of 32, no more than 8 invites. Quite simply, I prefer something more along the lines of IPL3 over something idiotic like NASL2 where it's entirely based on invites and you can think of dozens of players who could replace half the player pool. There's simply too many players capable of comparing with one another to have a pure-invite or super heavy invite based tournament, this is also why MLG's format is iffy because there isn't that huge of a differentiation between most players to give some the advantage of pools.

Anyway, really enjoying this event. Go go Mana.

TOP's TvP looks pretty bad. Doesn't seem like he has a late-game plan at all.

What would you suggest as late game besides ghosts?


Getting a faster fourth so he can constantly produce ghosts. Not cloaking them so they can actually get energy for EMP. Not forgetting his own vikings in the middle of the map. The transition came at a very bad time.

I don't think his blunders were part of his plan, tho.


From my point of view he didn't seem to have a plan and all his decision-making was purely reactionary. That's why the execution was overall terrible.

TOP going for that hellion drop opener, wonder whether he'll go into 1/1/1 or whether he'll expo after.

ed: 2nd gas and 2nd rax on the way so he'll 1/1/1 to follow up

I actually think Korean Protoss are 'worse' because they refuse to use Colossi. Obviously colossi are countered by vikings and you are a bit more vulnerable against drops, but they seem to completely ignore that colossi force a lot of vikings which is on the same hand NOT enough medivacs / not equally fast upgrades etc pp...

All Korean Terrans I saw have troubles with that colossus style from MaNa, Socke etc...

I just annouched at the MLG thread that the time of MLG is so f*cked *p that I am unable to live report it.

I have to work tonight at 22:00 CEST time and MLG starts at 23:30.. that is kinda a bummer.

SC spectator here. I saw sixfour's post where he mentioned moneylines. Is it possible to bet on SC2 games online?
I watch too much StarCraft to ever be good at it.

I think MaNa has the best PvT in the world actually.


i second this statement. mana could easily play code s and hes definitely got better pvt than any korean protoss player


Well then Mana would have a real chance on becoming the champion, because his PvZ got a lot better as well and there arent any Protoss in Code S anyways

Very questionable ghost control there by TOP, wasting energy on cloak, walking through storms and colossus fire, barely getting any EMP's off, not reinforcing with more ghosts for the second battle.


I think it was more good control by Mana. He was always out of range of EMPs, Stormed the Ghosts by anticipating their route. Always had HTs in position. Tops control was standard


^

Mana is the best European in terms of positioning. He almost never gets in a bad engagement.

GG. Once the harass kill +10 workers, the push is unstopable.

What a surprise. Korean Terran loses first game -> Marine-tank-banshee all-in to even the score.
