THE WHITERA TLO RIVALRY CONTINUES.
|
Nice showmatches, even though I wna see White-Ra vs Sheth 
|
Just an update guys, White-Ra has been invited to participate in the IEM qualifiers this Sunday when the show match was to take place. To give him extra time for his matches we've switched the order of the games a bit (see the first post) and moved DDE vs Sheth to slot 1, and White-Ra vs TLO to slot 2. We want to wish White-Ra the best of luck in his qualifier games and thank the other players for changing their schedules to accommodate the changes for him and to provide us these great matches.
|
Pokebunny's fringe looks stupid.. I am excited for the TLO v White-ra showmatch for sure!
|
cool embedded countdowns.
White-Ra is going to humiliate TLO, and poke is going to annihilate catz, catz is bad.
sheth DDE too close to call, both solid solid players.
|
CatZ was streaming drunk friday night. He like the rest of us is probably going to halloween Party tonight. So on Sunday he iS going to be so hungover I think Pokebunny has gotz this.

On topic Ra vs TLo would be interesting I predict 4-2
|
Comon white-ra some special tactics!
|
Can´t wait to see how Sheth fares against DDE! Fantastic sets of games, great job organizers  )

Friendly Rivalry  doesn't have to be with hate and anger towards each other :D
|
TLO v White-Ra? The two best (or, at least, my favorite) Starcraft 2 players that have ever lived!?! Playing each other? I say that White-Ra takes it because he has such ridiculously good game sense and rarely (or, at least, it seems rare to me) makes mistakes. But TLO is innovative and also has very good game sense.
Either way, I'm uber-pumped!

Looking forward to it. That header that updates with the time is really slick
|
TLO doesnt win often against WhiteRa.
WhiteRA should win.
|
|
|
WhiteRa vs TLO may be starting a bit late as the first three games so far have been going quite long. We'll transition to the second match as soon as this one completes so stay tuned
|
DDE should make a big switch to Banshees right now after going mech.
|
|
|
Yes White-Ra vs TLO! Match of the day! :D

Haha, called a blogger a TL writer... i think- kinda cut in midway through sentence.
|
Hi! Would somebody mind telling me the results of the Sheth/DDE matchup? I really wanted to watch it but couldn't. You can PM me or something, thanks!
And TLO vs WhiteRa :D
|
I think Whitera will take it easy
|

4 - 3 for Sheth.

What's going on, exactly?
|
WhiteRa had to play his IEM matches BO3, then they will continue the BO7 with WR vs TLO.

White-Ra is up 2-0 over TLO right now.
They're casting the finals of today's Sennheiser Cup between White-Ra and Dimaga while we wait for White-Ra to finish his IEM games. It's unfortunate but really nothing we can do

2
+ Show Spoiler +white-ra so much better than TLO, its not even close.
|
Anyone have a link to the Sennheiser Cup between White-Ra and Dimaga? Dimaga's muta-ling style looked very strong. Any chance there'd be replays of it?
|
Back to White-Ra vs TLO now on stream
|
So what are the results of Sheth v. DDE? It doesn't look like people were posting about the games, but they were supposed to happen a few hours ago.

here is your answer

Off topic but How did whitera vs dimaga ended?
|
TLO nuking the crap out of.. a lot of empty space
|
nice play by TLO! That's what i want to see

They stopped short since White-Ra came back. The games in question were the finals of something earlier today.
it was + Show Spoiler + 2-0 and they said it ended up 2-0, 2-1, 3-1 Whitera wins.
Anyhow seems like TLO did a little group huddle and adjusted his play against White-Ra
|
It looks like WhiteRa is toying with TLO :S.
EDIT:
+ Show Spoiler +WhiteRa is taking his 3rd at 6.5 min. Yeah, he's seriously toying with TLO.
|
+ Show Spoiler +White-Ra making a stunning counter attack and takes the next game off TLO, score is White-Ra 3-1 now, let's see if TLO can get back into this
|
I turned this on at work, not realizing the sound was going through the rooms main speakers. I got a lot of looks t.t
Hopefully TLO can pull off a comeback.
|
That was very one sided. Is TLO still having hand issues?

He has severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both of his wrists.

Sort of, but WhiteRa is just much, much better.
And let's face it. Flash was in much worse condition and he won the ABC Mart MSL handily, before going into major surgery and is still in rehab. TLO's pain wasn't the deciding factor. WhiteRa is just a much better player. Who is to say WhiteRa doesn't have issues either (after all, he's been in progaming for a decade now)?
|
CatZ vs Pokebunny starting now!
|
I'm actually surprised how the result is for Poke vs Catz
|
where can we see the results?
|
Who won Sheth vs. DDE? I could only catch the beginning before I had to leave.

Most of your arguments doesn't make a lot of sense. Though I'd agree with white-ra being the better player there is no way to know if that had been the case if TLO didn't have carpaltunnel. And as far as I know White-ra doesn't have those issues (and I think we would've known). That he've been in progaming for a decade doesn't say he got those issues (meanwhile it of course increases the risk that he would've gotten it at one time), also to note is that TLO is a much quicker player in regards to handspeed (if you've looked at both players streams you've seen that TLO is one of those with the most jumpy and clicky screen of all streamers, white-ra is more slow/composed), and I think that increases the risk way more than playing for a long time.
The only thing that slightly could work as an argument for TLO's carpal tunnel not affecting the games is the one with Flash. But the effect of pain and likewise on peoples play is greatly different I'd say, and none is going to claim TLO should've been as dominant over White-Ra if he didn't have carpaltunnel as Flash is in BW.

Here are the 5 replays of TLO against White-Ra
