This type of scheduling occurs all the time in major sports. Don't you guys remember when ABC decided to air a round of 16 game from the NIT instead of an Elite Match in the NCAA tournament? People had seen North Carolina play so many times that year. People really wanted to see how Central Western Michigan State Tech did in the NIT.

I know I wouldn't want to see something like the World Cup semi-finals if Messi was there and playing his first game ever in Korea. I'd rather watch Swansea City take on Wolverhampton. Always good to give the little guys a chance to shine.

end sarcasm...

Vods and replays exist so we can see these lower bracket games at a later time. The winner's bracket is the winner's bracket. Those should get priority.

God i hope naniwa wins the whole thing. I would cry if he did. And when did he lose all the weight.
I was the 5% that voted for thorzain in the TSL for round 1

I'm laughing on Reddit that everyone is bitching about not seeing MVP/NesTea play. I didn't know Blizzard owed people footage of these two playing. It's disappointing, I can agree with that but everyone is acting like they deserve to see it, even when half their post contains "I'm so glad I didn't pay $40 for this shit."

I'm glad most of that is gone from TL with all the 12-14 year olds that went to bed. Why can't people just appreciate the play they get to see in front of them rather then cry about not seeing two other players play, which they will indubitably see soon enough.

Protip: If you ever qualify to blizzcon make sure you throw your first round game for maximum exposure.

They showed a PvT(Nani v Major) and a TvZ(Select vs Dimaga I think).

I guess they had already decided which matches to show and we got the bad luck of having 10 Zergs in the tourney lol.

Did Killer really believe he was that far behind? 2 base muta is in general a terrible strategy in ZvZ.



IdrA thinks otherwise


Fairly sure he would agree with me.



Well ive seen him go 2 base muta 5-10 times quite recently, he says that hydralisks with their low speed dont really counter mutas (you give up map control completely) and infestors are worthless vs split mutas, etc, the only way to effectively counter mutas is to have more mutas than him


Or make a simple roach/hydra timing push and smash your enemy before he can build a sufficient muta ball.

The only way a 2 base muta rush works is

1. when your opponent is playing defensively
2. you know the game is going to be dragged out
3. you're using the muta's map control as a stepping stone to something else



Not really the case, ling bling destroys hydras really fast and attacking cross-map into spine crawlers is difficult for zerg.


It is a flimsy style, but ive seen it work with suprising frequency

its not nearly as simple as that. mutas come faster than hydras, especially if the other zerg invested a lot into roaches. mutas hitting the field result in an almost certain supply block for the other zerg, and a pretty heavy one at that. spores have to frantically be placed and the entire map belongs to the muta player. he can then drone and expand while harassing and tech to whatever composition he likes. the only surefire way to take back control from a player that went muta is to go muta in response with a better economy. hydras are eventually the answer but you cant just walk across the map and kill him in response to mutas, especially considering the speed of hydras.

Not surprising. Blizzard isn't an event-holding organization. If their event kind of sucks, it doesn't matter, they don't need you to tune in again. By next blizzcon everyone will have forgotten, for the most part, how bad it was due to a couple good games by MVP/Nestea, and the GSL Finals right after it.

because there was so much down time and like 3 games which were all ZvZ's? And once they just left no games on even though Nestea v Naniwa didn't start yet...
IMNestea's biggest fan.
