No ToSSGirl, maybe she could hold the Protoss' torch for SC2.
By the way, I hope I can watch this today as I couldn't watch in yesterday for whatever reas00ns on own3d.tv; it was so laggy...and there's no way to adjust to 240p....

they adjusted some settings on the stream earlier, so hopefully those issues are cleared up.

laejten going for reactor hellions again, and adds 2 tech labs to her barracks. colagirl with ling speed researching and 1 spine crawler, after droning fairly hard puts out an evo chamber and brings some queens to stop the pair of hellions she spots. laejten moving into marauders, while colagirl techs hard: roach warren, baneling nest, and lair, all off 2 gass. colagirl with a clever wall consiisting of a mix of spines, queens, hatches, and minerals, prevents the 4 hellions that poke in from doing any damage.

pause requestand and given.
turns out the pause was just a popped off key. laeten moves out to the center with about 10 marauders and 6 hellions, and bit by bits all her scvs. pushes and looks to hit right before spire finishes and bane speed starts. colagirl has a decent amount of slow banes on ccreep , but the hellions roast the lings. after some posturing, the banes walk in and hit mostly scvs and marauders. colagirl,s defense force of queens can't do enough damage. pulling drone, and with some nice infuses, she barely holds off the push, but reinforcements are coming in fro the sweede as well.

laejen now moves into the main and takes out the spire, and freezes mining there, and moes back down the ramp into colagirl's awaiting roach force.colagirl still not mining from the main but has some mining in the nat, while laejten has about 5 scvs plus muleing on cd. colagirl seems to have stabilized for now, but not until after losing the evo chamber.

both players now attempting to get their worker force back up and running. laeten has map control while colagils is content to stay at home on the top of her nat ramp. , but colagirl has a 30 supply advantage, around 70 to 40. colagirl also flew an overseer in and got a full scout. colagirl now getting some upgrades and rebuilding the spire while laejten adds siege tech anda starport. moves out again with 3 or so marauders, around the same hellions, 15ish marines, and 2 tanks. colagirl's spire should be done in time for this attack, but she hasn't banked much gas.

Huh?
laetjaen was low on marines and a couple of mutas would have finished the attack with fewer losses
Not necessarily. There is a reason why people on Teamliquid half-jokingly call roaches the counter to voidrays. If laetjaen had a few more marauders in her army (or controlled it better against the banelings) she would have won regardless if there was a mutalisk being a pest or not.

laejten with a very soft contain, sieging a couple tanks decently far from the bottom of the ramp. colagirl flies a small flock of mutas around and tries to pick off straggling units, while there is some jousting at the top of the nat ramp. eventually colagirl decides she has enough units and just rolls over anna's force. colagirl in strong control of the game. both players throwing up an expansion (3rd for the zerg, nat for the terran) but colagirl attacks and the game is over. laejten ggs out.

The only thing they could do is lower the bitrate and frames per second. It is running perfectly when they arent showing game footage because there is more static image that requires less bandwith.
However, they should have just streamed from NA/Europe, they still could have send player/caster shots plus audio to NA/Europe and just combine them there. Bad planning, yet again.

flo eliminates any threa of banshees for the time being with bulding placement scouting all around her main allowing some stimmed marines to take out a (2?) banshee(s?). gathers marines at the top watchtower, waiting for the +1 upgrade to finish before attacking. adds some gas and goesstarts +1 armor, scans the (empty) nat and moves up the ramp. there are a pair of hellions quickly eliminated by flo's stimmed marines, and flo chases away all of aphrodite's marines. aphrodite bpulls all of her scvs and fights off flo's army, but not without losing a huge amount of scvs. finally a medivac arrives to save her own stimmed marines, but her economy is well behind at this point as her natural cc just lands. flo adding armory and another ebay, starts her 3rd, and continues building a marine/medivac-centered force. starts up some drops.

flo drops in the main mineral line and kills some scvs, drawing all of aphordite's army into the main. another force of marines stims up the ramp and pulls all those scvs off of the nat, and then turns those marines around and runs away without losing a single one.great econ advantage has flo up 93 food to 67. flo now with her 2/2 halfway done, continuing with an upgrade-based marine/medivac army. aphrodite is tryig the same thing but will simply be out-upgraded and out-macro'd if she tries to use the same strategy. flo moving out again, will probably attack when 2/2 is done.

Love how they are overplaying all the girly stuff. Had this been done in more "serious" manner people would be complaining about the quality all the time.
DaSakura at 2 in the red and SsQ at 8 in the blue. dasakura drone scouts and hatches first, while ssqrush also opens standard. follows up with a fact and reactor on the rax on 1 gas after running an scv aronud in the zerg main, and dasakura plops down a spine at the nat and drones hard. ssq now building a cc in the main and starts spitting out reactor hellions. dasakura adds a 2nd spine and continues droning.

finally dasakura adds some lings and starts speed, just as the first pair of hellions pop out. there are 6 or so lings, a queen, and 2 spines in the nat with a n evo chamber building, and the hellions poke but turn around until they have 2 more for a total of 4. some back and forth goes on, bt no serious attacking as ssq is building tanks and adding stim.

Well... what can you really say about the quality apart from that it's just awful?
edit: It's free and nobody forces me to watch, I know and that's why I'm not whining. I wonder though if sponsors aren't concerned that it shows them in a pretty bad light tbh.

dasakura with a decent amount of lings holding the top of the nat with a pair of spine crawlers, hs a baneling nest and lair while pumping out upgrades on 2 evo chambers and adding a macro hatch in the mainmoves out with the lings and takes out the hellions, but at the same time ssq moves out with 20 or so marines and a pair of tanks, with medivacs about to start building. dasakura bane speed about half done as this push moves forward, AND wastes e abaneling on the scouting scv. ssqrush sieges up under the smoke, and dasakura retreats into her nat while her bane speed is about 15s from finishing. ssq builds a pair of bunkers and drops he tanks on the intermediate ledge below the smoke, but the medivac isn't quite positioned correctly to hit the baneling nest. dasakura takes out the force on the low ground easily, but can do nothing about the tanks without roaches or hydras (or even the tech for it??). she adds a 2nd baneling nest as the first one is getting shelled by the now 4 tanks on the low ground, and starts an infestation pit. her upgrades are 3/2 i beliee and she has a 3rd up, but ssq is in a really good position. dasakura runs out a huge force of lings and some banes across he map, easily eliminating ssq's reinforcements, there's nothing at home for ssq to stop this army, but at the same time, dasakura can't beat thterran force. banelings swarm into the main, breaking the wall. dasakura forced to abandon her main, but ssq isnt' mining at all and the lings have free reign in the terran base. ssq doesn't have enough marines to take out dasakura's home army, and finally brings her whole force up into the zerg main, taking out the baneling nest,. dasakura gets up the ramp in to the main and cleans up that force, and looks to be in a dominant position as ssq is down to only 20 suppyly. (0 scvs). dasakura only has 17 drones but that is much more mining than the terran is doing. unfortunately without ma spire she can't end the game immediately, but ssq has no way to catch up as dasakura can just deny mining everywhere. ssq is in an unwinnable position and recognizes it and ggs.
No clue why SSQ didn't just elevator the tanks and destroy the hatchery. The whole army of DeSakura was going towards her base. She just sat there and did nothing.

There is no benchmark of what is a high level for woman yet. It is like we are comparing men tennis to woman tennis, women are awful when compared to men. And yet still theirs tourneys are arguably more fun to watch then men.

aphrodite needs to siege before the zerg army is on top of her army :p This game would have looked a lot different if her decision making was on par with her macro, which is really good.
third time she literally sieges when the roaches already attack her, other than that the games are actually quite decent and the production is fine too

Läjten in red at 5, DaSakura in blue at 11. dasakura hatch first, and laejten drops a bunker in the nat mineral line off an otherwise standard opening. the canadian pulsl only 2 drones to chase away the scv, 1 of those turned into a spine crawler. the marine arrives at the zerg nat and runs straight into the bunker - 6 spawned lings weren't in time. laejten addsa factory, and the spine crawler finishes and starts poking away at the bunker. the scv is barely alive to repair, but the lings swarm in and eliminate the bunker before it can even be salvaged. laejten building a cc in base and floats her factory over to land on the soon-completed reactor.

Well... what can you really say about the quality apart from that it's just awful?
Also can't complain about quality of the gameplay because that's a taboo when it comes to female gaming.
There is no benchmark of what is a high level for woman yet. It is like we are comparing men tennis to woman tennis, women are awful when compared to men. And yet still theirs tourneys are arguably more fun to watch then men.
Starcraft 2 is mostly cerebral so there is nothing preventing women from playing at the level of other top players. When watching pixels being pushed around, nothing differentiates them from other players except their gender. To have separate benchmarks for men & women makes me uncomfortable.

laejten's blue flame completes about the same time as dasakura's pathogen glands completes. dasakura runs a force of lings and banes into laejten's camp outside the terran 3rd, but the outcome isn't much for either side to write home about. dasakura does have a more forward match presence, and takes the previously gold middle base, easily dismantling the small terran group iat the xel'naga.

Women dont fare too well in chess too. We wont get a female pro-gamer any time soon. Maybe when some serious human-enhancement project is employed. Nevertheless i enjoy the tournament so far and i have nothing to complain.

dasakura nearing a maxed army of banes lings and infestors. laejten drops marines and hellions in the main, but decent overlord placement limits the damage. ulralisk spotted, with ultra upgrades finishing. laejten at 165 when dasakura remaxes on banes infestors lings and a few ultras. the terran mech army is somewhat low on upgrades, with a 2nd armory just finishing. laejten tries to move forward to take out the zerg fourth but the zerg attacks traight across the center, bypassing many of the tanks and rolling over the terran force. the zerg continues to swarm all the way into the natural, with decent tank spread from the swede eliminating a lot of the force but dasakura's superior economy keeps her near max and her army is still ramapaging in the terran nat. laejten ggs.

Women don't fare well against men in ANY game, competition, sport (no hate, just fact) whatever so i don't personally understand why sc2 should be any different.

Starcraft 2 is mostly cerebral so there is nothing preventing women from playing at the level of other top players. When watching pixels being pushed around, nothing differentiates them from other players except their gender. To have separate benchmarks for men & women makes me uncomfortable.
Women dont fare too well in chess too. We wont get a female pro-gamer any time soon. Maybe when some serious human-enhancement project is employed. Nevertheless i enjoy the tournament so far and i have nothing to complain.
Of course none of this prevents me from enjoying the tournament. Without getting too much into this, women can play at the top level in chess (Judit Polgar).

Well... what can you really say about the quality apart from that it's just awful?

What do you mean by serious human-enhancement project?
I don't get why the streams are always so bad. Don't they partner with own3D?

I am just picturing Tastosis casting this tournament. I would pay to see that. Artosis would blow a gasket by set three.
Tastosis casting this would be brilliant. Add another showmatch where all six girls fight Nestea at the same time, just to hear Artosis go crazy.
But seriously, stream issues aside, enjoying the games so far :-)
If they tried to do it like any other tournament evveryone would complain about anything but with all these giggling and pink, and the commentators not being too serious, gives the whole thing a fun atmosphere.

Seems reasonable. Maybe not in TvT
Honestly.. have you ever seen an expand to the gold on antigua in ANY matchup in any pro game or ladder game above gold/diamond?
Second expand maybe, but she was talking about the choice between your natural and the gold.

flo has a very hard time defending this attack, running her scvs aronud for ages and losing a lot of them before finally fending it off. still, she does have 2 bases to ssq's 1 and has the lower population but almost all of it is in scvs. flo now moving out with almost all of her marines to try to take the watchtower, where ssq has 1 and a half full mevidacs. the medivacs are spottet anbut the marines can't quite take them out before they unload. ssq's larger force causes flo to flee, and ssq elevators yet again. once again flo tries to defend with only marines, but she has superior positioning and easily pushes the drop away. the chinese commentators are shouting about marineking. ssq STILL with no 2nd base.

MKP - Haypro. MKP even took the gold as his first base, and the other gold as his natural.

flo finally has some medivacs to go with her 1/1 marines, but ssq's hellions are well positioned. she tries another elevator but flo has marines in position to stop that, and flo snipes 2 medivacs chock full of marines. flo in a huge advantage now, sprinting into the middle of the map where she eliminates the remainder of ssq's forces. flo continues across th emap to ssq's newly droppped cc at the nat as scvs transfer out. flo stims up the ramp but her force is only about as big as the defending group of ssq's. once reinforcements arrive she attacks up the ramp, easily taking the game.

What would you be complaining about? Stream quality? I can name you dozens of other tournaments where that was an issue, so why would it be something special here? I really tried to give this tournament a chance, but all this overly "feminine" presentation (pink mouse, why?) really rains on my parade and makes me think that the people who predicted this would be more of a publicity stunt than a sincere attempt to integrate women into the gaming scene were right. Gonna watch Battle in Berlin now.

I don't know what she meant but what you wrote means your third base and second natural is obv the closest third base and there has been plenty of GSL games where people take gold as their third base and even games where people take gold first.
DaSakura in blue at 5, Aphrodite in red at 11 on antiga. both players with standard openings yet again.aphrodite adds her factory, and then a starport. dasakura with 1 spine for defense as well as a couple lingsand starting speed as she drones up. aphrodite sends 4 marines out with a hellion, but dasakuras 1st spine is complete and has a 2nd on the way. combined with the queen and 6 or 7 lings, she defends the attack without losing the lqueen in red health. aphrodite drops a cc in her main and starts producing banshees, while dasakura goes to lair, adds a pair of evo chambers, and drones hard still on only 1 gas. aphrodite also puts on blue flame and another factory and her first ebay.

aphrodite runs some hellions into the top right main, roasting the minera-mining drones there, but dasakura has maxed yet again and loads up the overlords. this time she will drop into the main, since ahrodite now has tall her tanks and hellions below. ahrodite unsieges her sizable amoutn of tanks and funnels up into the main, lifting all her buildings works against her as the roaches can now get in much better position. she cleans up the attack but loses way more than she should have.

dasakura techs to roaches and banes while her upgrades chug away, and she starts her third. aphrodite adds and takes out a queen with just a sliver of health remaining.the next queen has to trek all the way out, but she doesn't have to cancel the hatch again. dasakura now ugradeinger roaches (speed and +1 missiles) after putting some into linsg before, and puts down a spire, aphrodite camps with thors and tanks at home while working on mech upgrades off a single armory, moving around the map with 10 or so hellions and a couple banshees.
populations are fairly even as both players near max, aphrodite off 2 bases with an oc about to float to the 3rd while dasakura has 3 and a morphing hatch at the center bottom base and one at the top right main. ahrodite finally moves out as she maxes with a +1 attack mech army, but only far enough to defend the 3rd in addition to the nat. dasakura has loaded up a ton of speed overlords with banes and roaches, and is now floating them across the center. aphrodite scouts it with a banshee, and runs a ton of her army into the main. the thors of ahrodite do work on teh overlords, but the dropped roaches and banes do very well against the tanks. ahrodite has to pull all her scvs to defend, and is down 140 supply to 190. nearly all the overlords got away.

dasakura catches ahrodie's tanks unsieged but thera re enough of them that aphrodite can just resieged and immediately take out the roaches. dasakru anow at a supply deficit and low mineral income, attacks her roaches in again but at this point with vikings landed in the top right seliminating that base, aphrodite seems to be in control of the game. dasakura staying on roaches the whole game seems to be her downfall, as she is forced to GG when the terran mech army sets up shop below the main while vikings roam around the map taking out bases left and right.

I think the roaches would have workd, if they weren't that clumped. If she attacked from multiple angles (and with some ling support), she would have traded well.
Kelly is amazing as usual (bring back kelly to GSL) and Livinpink is inexperienced but has a lot of potential to be great. I think they're great together

flo's drops are doing a good amount of damage, taking out colagirl's 3rd just as the chineze zerg was about to max. colagirl thinks about sending some mutas over to try to cut off the retreating medivacs, but decides against it, planting in the center plateau. now maxed and banking, colagirl is also taking the bottom left nat. flo now trying to take the center top base, but colagirl chooses this moment to move forward. flo's tank spread is specacular, and colagirl's ultralisks appear to be wandering around ammlessly, but there are so many of them that flo has to retreat. colagirl's newest bases are so heavily spined that drops can't do that much there, and colagirl's swarm of reinforcing lings manage to get out of the ultralisk's way enough for colagirl to push into the main. flo calls gg, and i believe this means colagirl has locked up the first seed.
production is not bad except the quality of the game :/ wish it could be higher. Does this remind anyone else of GSL type of event? music between loads and face tim xD

time for the zvz! Colagirl in red at 5, DaSakura in blue at 11. dasakura pools first and colagirl hatches first, so same openings as their match yesterday. dasakura runs some lings around in colagirl's nat but doesn't run up into the main, and as she builds her first round of roaches colagirl is only just starting her own warren. colagirl chases dasakura's lings all the way home, where the hatching roaches eliminate them. by this point colagirl's warren is done 2, and now on 2 gases she starts her lair a bit after dasakura's completes.

colagirl is literally at 9k/3k. dasakura manages to engage with a very good concave and crushes through colagirl's army, but loses so many units of her own and she can't afford to replace them while colagirl still has tons of money in the bank after she remaxes. dasakura manages to take out the center 4th but colagirl's huge new army swarms in. dasakura lands a huge fungal but the roach numbers are simply too disparate, and dasakura ggs.

Flo in the blue at 5o, Läjten in red at 11. both open standard, with laejten going for marine first and flo skipping the marine in favor of a techlab then reaper. unlike past games though flo isn't stopping at 1 reaper, rather building more after she build sa cc and 2 raxes, and getting stim. meanwhile laejten is going factory to starport. flo's repaer in the center takes out laejten's scouting hellion, and flo then groups up 3 reapers in the top left nat. a scan reveals a medivac and solid cohord of marines, and after the medivac loads up and leaves and the hellions follow, flo moves in to the main and starts chunking away at the SCVs. ithe scvs are going down left and right, but the landed viking eventually cleans them up (after a lot of scv deaths). laejten runs hellions into the nat and stops mining there, but the marine drop in the main also does damage there. flo has enough marines to just take out the drop in the main, and eventually clear the hellions out of the natural.

ssq sets up base in the red natural with a bunch of sieged tanks, slowly advancing forard. aphrodite pulls all her scvs and advances forward, but ssq has enough tanks and supportig marines that aphrodite is forced to GG.

I just tuned in, based on that one game I'd agree but I don't know how she did on the others. There were just some questioning decisions from her that game, including the early tech lab when she couldn't afford blue flame (forced her to pull scvs to deal with the 1scv/2marine poke because she only had one marine).... she blindly countered the banshee which was nice, but then she didn't have any scouting presence. Those hellions would've been so much more useful around the map... force SsQ to siege/unsiege and slow down the assault on the base...

For sure I don't think she's legit. She's barely playing at NA master level if that. It could be nerves or whatever but she's making such rookie mistakes I can't see her being a kor master without Rainbow boosting her account

You are dissing her for making the assumption that losing to equally skilled master players makes her "fake".

Wellm mutas are often used on high level, but if you haven't their control, one misclick might always loose you the game. Not going muta is more forgiving. (but usually you go infestor ling and not roach ling if you don't go mutas)

colagirl now morphing some banes at the left watchtower, and ssq is just starting her siege tech, colagirl runs in with 20ish lings and 6 banes,, wasting a lot of banes o 1 tank and not getting the last bane to connect. lings are doing a ton of gamage though, forcing the cc to lift and taking out all the tanks. colagirl morphs more banes in preparation to bust, and all ssq has is 10 or so marines and a tank halfway done. the banes blow up the depot wall easily and lings stream in, now up against pulled scvs. more and more lings stream in, eliminating the tank as soon as it pops out, and ssq gs with rampaging lings in her base. that finalizes the placement for the group stages i believe.
Aphrodite in blue at 11 on antiga, Läjten is red at 5. had to run out real quick but i believe that's a 1 rax cc going for more raxes, while aphrodite has hellions and banshees. laejten's stimm is still around 20 seconds from finishing, but slo marines chase the banshee around enough that it's only shooting the ebay. there's only 1 marauder in the bunker outsid ethe nat, and laejten is losing marines as her stim finishes. turrets are up in the mineral lines but she is low on units. aphrodite's hellions aren't doing much... but here they come into the nat, roasting scvs. can aphrodite take out the ebay with the banshee? it.s burning.... but laejten repairs it. the aggression is held off, but laejten is well behind.

aphrodite sits at home with 2 bases, tech advantage and econ advantage. working on getting those upgrades up. laejten has about the same tech, but with half the food count - much lower economy and almost no army. aphrodite moves out once her combat shields finish and she has a few medivacs, and this push is really dangerous for laejten. she has a tank popping out and a couple bunkers at the nat, but as reinforcements spil in for aphrodite, laejten goes for a drop in the main! theres' a turret thereand laejten unloads 4 marines before the medivac dies. not too concerned about the marines at home, aphrodite jus stims in to laejten's natural, taking down the unsieged tanks and few bunkers with ease. laejten calls gg, here come tiebreakers!
The tournament has been great so far. The games have been fun and the production value excellent (beating the bigger name Battle in Berlin). The tournament organizers are obviously in it to sell gaming equipment but thats true of every tournament and most aren't this well run so it's great for the community. I hope DaSakura stays in this because she really looked better than the other two. Fingers crossed that Flo pulls the upset over colagirl tomorrow!
Aphrodite in blue at 11o and DaSakura in red at 5o on antiga. hatch first and standard opening, maybe i should just cut this out unless people deviate from it. dasakura goes for the gas steal in the terran main, building and cancelling repatedly until the 3rd marine is out. aphrodite goes up to starport on 1 gas without any addons, and moves out with a hellion and 4 marines. dasakura has a spine, a bunch of lings, and ling speed on the way.

aphrodite moves into the nat with that force but does almost no damage and loses them all, has a cc and banshee building in the main as dasakura goes up to lair and adds 2 more gas (so 3 total) and another queen, plus a baneling nest. aphrodite finally moves out with her banshee from home, way after it finished, and moves her oc out to her nat, plus researches blue flame. dasakura going for bane speed and +1 carapace, and adding a macro hatch, plus working on creep spread.

dasakura maxed against a lower supply mech army of aphrodite's a familiar situation, but this time she has a huge stream of lings and banes instead of roaches. the blue flame hellions demolish the lings as they stream in and aphrodite's tanks and thors are totally untouche,d adaskura's supply plummets. really needs to produce here, has some more lings but there are so many hellions. roachs are only just now able to be made. banes are morphed but all the hellions are advancing forward, dthe nanks are well placed, and the thors are clearing out mutas and overlords. dasakura produces a round of roaches and will likely attack once theyre out.

dasakura loses some banes to not holding position. the roaches are here and she attacks forward, then turns around. has no solution for this mech arm, supply now plummeting and dasakura will be forced to gg.
Great job antoine of thread following/posting!! Shoutout to livinpink and Kelly Doing the best of the longest single round robin casting ever (of 6 ppl)
SsQ red at 8, Aphrodite blue at 11. aphrodite with a cc after starport, adding vikings, while ssq has siege tank production going and some vikings of her own. ssq moves out with 2 tanks, about 10 marines, and 2 vikings. aphrodite has a bunker full of marines + 3 more at her front, along with those 2 vikings and 2 more just popped out. ssq's siege finishes and she parks under the nat, with aphrodite's siege 1/3 done

ssq sieges the bunker and aphrodite retreats, leifting her nat. aphrodite now has 2 siege tanks of her own right in the cohoke, but isnt spotting well. ssq takes out both those siege tanks and moves forward once again. marines pick off ahrodite's viking, triggering aphrodite to pull scvs out. ssq tanks are doing work and aphrodite ggs. if ssq beats dasakura we can all go to sleep, if dasakura wins it's another round of tiebreakers.
I'm cheering for Aphrodite, but for how late it's getting I hope they don't have to keep going too much longer. Then again, seeing Kelly and Gen have to stay up and start getting really punchy and even more giggly could be pretty amusing too :-p
DaSakura is the red zerg at 2, and SsQ blue terran at 8 on metalopolis ssq looking like reactor hellions, dasakura has her normal sparse defense but ssq runs in 2 hellions right as the spine unburrows to move forward, now running rampant in the main as 2 more arrive! dasakura producing linsg but tehre are hellions literalyly running circles around the zerg forcesdasakura drone count getting really low as 2 more hellions arrive, and there's no sign of it stopping, enough queens are out to repel the hellions at this pointt but the damage has been done, 40 supply vs 15

tomorrow's the whole bracket stage, first round matches will be colagirl vs aphrodite and flo vs ssq.
Just tuned into their stream. Caught one match, pretty decent match. Then they showed a video of the players arriving at the city where the tournament was held. I guess they shot the video because the players were all girls. Because If they had done the same for a normal/pretty much an all guy tournament, that would have been some seriously awkward stuff. Imagine Incontrol and Idra smiling, taking pictures and hugging. Wow, just wow.
Also, I would like to give some props to the production team for keeping all the gear in the studio pink, classy.

updated with today's schedule! also for some of the matches today Kelly will be on the mandarin stream, so casting with Livinpink for those will be Alyssa aka Snowkiss.

Lies. If TeamLiquid did something like that with Sheth, TLO, etc, we'll be all over that. Search your heart, you know it's true.

it gets better, right now it's 8:30 in china so there are a ton of people online clogging the tubes. it continually gets less laggy as the night goes on.

Dunno.
We had great tournaments this year, but one of the most memorable for me was Homestory Cup where all players were there drinking/casting/playing, and just having fun in general. It was really enjoyable to watch something like that.
Colagirl vs Aphrodite game 1 starts up with aphrodite in blue at 6 and colagirl red at 8. aphrodite techs to a facory off 1 gas while continually producing marines out of an addon-less rax, and then starport off that same 1 gas. colagirl goes straight to lair with her 1 gas, adding a spine crawler and 2 more gas. aphrodite plops down another starport and puts techlabs on both of them, going for banshees as colagirl stars ling speed.

colagirl ges a lling to teh top of the ramp but it doesn't have vision to the starports. she has a spire bane nest and evo chamber morphing as aphrodite waits for a 2nd round of banshees to send them over. evo chamber finishes well in time, and the spire is also done when aphrodite,s 4th banshee pops out. aphrodite waits for ANOTHER banshee, but colagirl has 5 mutas morphing! the banshees come over and start wacking away at the queen right as the mutas hatch, chasing them away and taking 1 down before being deterred by a swarm of marines. aphrodite is ahead in supply but on ony 1 base with no cc even building while colagirl takes her 3rd and tries to harass some (ineffectually) with mutas.

Unwatchably laggy for me atm sadly.
colagirl gets fast mutas before the 2port banshee hits? I like Colagirl I think she's played pretty well all tournament, also she has a great hairclip. Can't make out anything other than a few frames a minute though so I guess i'll check in later TT

aphrodite puts out 1 thor before moving her gas into medivacs and adding turrets, while colagirl adds bane speed and +1 attack. now with 1 thor, 30ish marines, 4 banshees, 2 medivacs, and 10 or so scvs, aphrodite moves out. bane speed will be done just in time as the push gets here.the banshees do some work inside the base but corruptors make short work of the medivacs. colagirl ha's banelings wipe everything out, lings survive to run on and the mutas are taking out everything in the air. at home aphrodite has a thor, a ew marines, and not much else. colagirl's 3rd is complete but no drones are there. as colagirl's reinforcing lings arrive she runs up the ramp, forcing gg. from aphrodite. 1-0 colagirl.
Colagirl is red at 2 on tal'darim with Aphrodite blue at 5. aphrodite walling in the main with rax/fact off 1 gas. aphrodite goes up to techlab starpor and adds a cc and 2nd gas. colagirl taking her 2nd gas and adding ling speed, and then a spire, aphrodite does some addon swapping and now has a techlab factory and starport, banshee/thor maybe? there's a hellion coming out for now though. colagirl runs a ling in but doesnt see much, with her baneling nest finishing also now has all her gas.
Translated a interview that popular Chinese site Plu.CN did with Flo, may translate a few more if there's time.
PLU.CN: Hello Flo, as the American representative to ZOWEI DIVINA, what's on your mind? Flo: I am very proud to represent my country. This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I feel excellent!
PLU.CN: You're a Chinese-American. How old were you when you emigrated to the States? Have you ever visited China since then? Flo: My parents originated from Hong Kong, but I am born in America. I never had an opportunity to visit China before this chance.
PLU.CN: How's your record in the NA Server last season? Did you play often? Flo: Last season I was top-10 Masters. I don't often ladder, because I feel practicing against a coach is a better use of time. They can provide me with solid advice after each match. Only when I was bored, do I practice on the ladder.
PLU.CN: We have heard that you have done well in many other female-only tournaments. Do you find playing in tournaments differ from regular laddering? Flo: I don't feel much pressure when I ladder or practice custom games. This differs during competition, when every win or lose carry much more weight.
PLU.CN: Do your family have an opinion of your StarCraft 2 career? What about your own view of it? Flo: When I just started, my family didn't realize how important this is to me. They thought it's just a game. After several months when I reached a skill level processed by very few other girls, they became slowly more supportive. They almost refused to allow me to participate in DIVINA this time, but I was able to convince them in the end. I want to continue on this path, and they finally accepted that being a Pro-gamer is my true passion in life.
Original Author: PLU_勒崩 Source: Plu.cn T/N: This is a re-translation from CN -> EN. Flo may have answered in English, but her original response was not available in source text.

colagirl flies her few remaining mutas around, slowly losing them while not really doing much, and produces a small batch of roaches that move out with some lings but certainly won't be enough against aphrodite's mech army... lots more lings streaming in but blue flame doin work and the pulled scvs are able to repair enough to save all 4 scvs. bad attack for colagirl. some mutas take out a gas in the main, pretty nice for 2 mutas in the red to do. colagirl pumping upgrades as spines protect her 3rd, and is now taking the top left nat as aphrodite now has started siege tank production still off 2 bases.

colagirl flies some mutas in the main and starts attacking the armory but repairing scvs hold until a thor can get there, and aphrodite prepares to take the 3rd with turrets and her army. colagirl moves out another force of roaches but aphrodite's siege tank coverage is pretty good. 4th now running for colagirl who also has an infestor up and 3/3 on the way. roaches run into teh sieged tanks and turn away after losing about 1/3 of their numbers. colagirl gettting overlord speed and ventral sacs, while aphrodite camps between her nat and 3rd and continues to build up and upgrade her mech army. colagirl also morphing in some banes. has 180//3300 at 160 supply, some trouble macroing as she puts down an ultra cavern.

colagirl's top left bases are down but the 4 ultras she sent to the terran bases are actually doing some pretty good work. unfortunately she has nothing to stop the small mech force ather own 4th and 5th. production is really slow and aphrodite's army is marching across the map. the terran base is in shambles and colagirl is actually ahead in supply now? but has 8 or so thors and 3 tanks to around 7 ulras. colagirl engaging in really bad chokes for her and sboth players are down to around 7 supply. colagirl's only remaining base ar e the top left main and top center 4th, and the main is going down. aphrodite has no mining bases. colagirl managed to evac drones to the bottom lef and aphrodite is supply capped but i don't see how the zerg can get an army that can take on those 10 thors and 3 tanks. aphrodite decides to take out the top base as colagirl cleans up the terran 3rd.aphrodite loating to the bottom 4th with 2 escorting vikings. colagirl on only 1 hatch left while others build, but aphrodite has 3 floating ocs with high energy. looks like this game might have a little while left as aphrodite isnt't being very decisive with her army. colagirl can simply avoid ingaging her.

while aphrodite runs around the map trying to find colagirl, colagirl has retaken her nat and is mining there and stopping mining with speedlings running around the map. aphrodite mining at 1130 and the top right nat. colagirl's army is still realyl small compared to aphrodite's .aphrodite now sieging up the main and this time pdecides to eliminate the drones there instead of ignoring them. still supply capped btw, colagirl not finding enough larva to produce roaches, and as aphrodite moves down into the top right nat colagirl will be forced to engage into a bad choke wwith sieged tanks. colagirl ultras not engaging properly and roaches not spkiing tanks... aphrodite lands mules to erpair the roaches and colagirl ggs! really fun game, series tied 1-1 heading into the deciding match.
Colagirl in red at 11, Aphrodite in blue at 5 on antiga. interesting to see how colagirl will respond to her first loss of the tournament. aphrodite going straight to starport again, moving out with 3 marines but the spine pops just in time with the queen doing a little delaying work. marines are forced awa, with teh chasing zerglings actually taking out 3 - no, 2 marines before the hellion roasts them all. aphrodite pops downa cc and starts putting down a cc while colagirl's lair is just finishing, and she puts down a spire.

apdrohite sends her f irst banshee but the queens repel it very easily, as colagirl now has a roach warren and zergling speed while aphrodite builds an armory, turrets, and researches blue flame, moving some buildings out to the nat as she takes that. colagirl working on upgrades off 1 evo chamber. the mutas arrive and take down a refinery and some scvs, but turret coverage is pretty good on the rest of the base and a thor is on its way. 8 blue flame hellions are coming into colagirl's base and she has almost nothing to stop them, this is going to be a drone massacre! colagirl tries to desparately producing roaches and manages to run away most of her drones into an ok position, also harassing with mutas at the nat to force aphrodite to multitask away from the hellions.

colagirl loses her 4th to the mech army but has snuck expos in the top right main and nat. aphrodite remaxes her mech with tanks and thors instead of hellions mostly this time. colagirl has a bunch of ultras and roaches but they stream in piecemeal instead of all at one time. the ultras get good engagement on the front line of tanks but the tank spread is so fantastic for aphrodite. colagirl down to 120 food against 180 and as reinforcements ttream in the same zerg that looked so invincible just 30 minutes ago is on her back feet. colagirl has ultras trapped in her main due to bad simcity a, losing all of her attempted muta switch, retreats back to the main but the inexorable march of aphrodie's mech army eventually forces the gg. aphrodite takes the series and advances to the grand finals!

But seriously, big upset I think, Colagirl looked so good yesterday while Aphrodite looked a bit shaky, barely making it through in the tiebreak. She's the only person I was familiar with before the tournament, though, so I've kinda been cheering for her, glad to see her make the finals :-) Go Korea! :-p

Very solid Mech vZ in this game, not getting caught unsieged, leapfrogging effectively etc.
I really like her commitment to using mech vZ. I'm becoming a fan of her.
She's looked pretty good in most of the games I've seen from her macro and composition-wise, it's just that at times her decision making breaks down and she loses from positions she should have won from.
I expected Colagirl to win this but she just didn't seem to handle mech particularly well in the end.

Probably just nerve issues from playing her first event I think
Livinpink really isn't that knowledgeable at the game and stutters a lot, but she is trying her best, having fun, and is quite adorable. She has been enjoyable to listen to. If she continues casting and learns more, in a years time, I can see her being far and away the best female caster.
other semifinal starts with Flo at 12 in red, and SsQ at 2 in blue on metalopolis, so close air. builds diverge as flo adds a techlab right away for reaper while ssq goes for a marine then factory, taking her 2nd gas. ssq has predicted the reaper and has marines well spread to eliminate it as it jumps up, and flo moves into smi and a cc with a 2nd rax while ssq has a starport building, a reactor and techlab surely to be swapped soon. a hellion pokes up for ssq but 3 marines chase it away as ssq mstarts a banshee and flo spreads depots around her base. with 2 ocs and stim, flo should do well against banshees and ssq starts siege tech.

the first banshee heads over and pokes at the scv building the ebay but can't take it outu. flo stims all her marines but doesn't uite take the banshee out, and flo moves her oc out to the nat as a pair of banshees now come in for sqs, forcing another stim. flo has just started her starport so medivacs are a ways away and ssq is moving out with 2 siege tanks, 15ish marines, 2 banshees and a few scvs. flo really needs medivacs soon and is also upgrading +1 attack and combat shields, retreating her marines down to the low ground. ssq sieges up below the main and flo runs in with scvs and stimmed marines, losing her whole army! ssq now in a really strong position with 3 banshees and siege tanks shelling away at the barracks, and flo ggs. 1-0 ssq.

No way..... Single Elimination gives Aphrodite a lucky win over ColaGirl? totally boggus....... Learn to make double elimination plz Z.Z ColaGirl fan displeased..... As an Aphrodite fan, I'm glad that she's in the finals, and hope she wins, but no way in hell ColaGirl should be forced into a 3rd/4th place match like that T_T

Most likely. Though, i have always hated Own3d. I think tournaments should prefer Twitch.tv over anything in general.
game 2 starts with Flo in the red at 11, SsQ in the blue at 2. flo with her typical reaper scout, again with a cc and stim, as ssq goes up toward banshees yet again. so far almost exactly the same as the last game. thistime flo is starting her upgrades earlier, combat shields and +1 attack. ssq flies in the first banshee and pciks away at some depots and lone marines, but turrets have the mineral lines covered well. ssq moving out with the same push, but this time flo has faster upgrades and no starport in sight.

ssq decides to siege on the ramp instead of below the gas. flo's combat shields and +1 attack finish before she engahes, and teh tanks shoot down a turret. flo with a very nice marine split take down 1 tank and force another to unsiege, but ssq's tanks go so far back that flo has to retreat her marines all in very red health. flo still marines only, and ssq is reinforcing with tanks and banshees. ssq sieged very nicely, and banshees fly back and forth trying to draw marines into siege range. ssq unsieges breifly only to siege again further back. flo puls some more scvs and stims forward again, this time with enough upgrade d marines to crush ssq's army! ssq retreats to her newly landed natural with scv count slightly in flo's favor.

flo now getting agressive with her marine army but ssq has more than enough sieged tanks at her own nat to stop that advance. as ssq ruams around with a pair of banshees picking off outlying buildings, flo moves her marines around to no real effecw hile continuing upgrades., pkcking off the banshees with a nice trap and retreating home. now with a sole medivac, a horde of 1/1 marines, and 2 armories rsearching upgrades while her 3rd builds, flo moves out to hold the center watchtower and loads up a drop. will it spot ssq's hidden cc at the bottom right main? no, it takes a much shorter route into ssq's main where it drops and takes out the techlab researching blueflame and flies away with no losses... a pursuing viking takes it out but all the maines unload. flo then stims her main army into ssq,s nat and pciks off 2 tanks for maybe 10 marines, sending out another drop.

ssq's army moves out on the top path past th ecenter watchtower and sends a drop around to the 3rd, but flo's main force circumnavigates that and runs into the main.. free reign in the main! but she decides that the huge tank force below her nat is the more ugrent matter and runs her heavily red army back. a great flank catches all of ssq's tanks unsieged and wipes it out! ssq ggs, 1-1 series.

Flo is in the red at 8 and SsQ in blue at 2 oclock on antiga. flo scouts the normal build but ssq has added a 2nd rax before her obital, bproxying it below the bottom right main. flo gos for her reaper expand again and ssq ands a 3rd rax, also in the bottom right, pumping marines. flo runs her reaper down that way buand sees all the marines but doesn't get a count on the barracks. has a bunker ta the top of her nat ramp tha finishes just in time but ther's only 2 marines inside and no scvs to repair it. here come the scvs and she fends off the cheese!

ssq now goes BIT BY BIT, flo was putting up 2 more bunkers dut they aren't ready in time and they aren't a full wall! ssq runs past in to the main and flo doesn't have nearly the marine count of ssq, but she has many more scvs to tank for her and heshe fends off the 2nd wave of cheese.a 3rd wave of marines runs in but fl has enough marines to chase those off as well, especially considering she has 2 rax with reactor and 1 techlab, and ssq ggs.

3rd place match starts with Colagirl red zerg at 12, SsQ blue terran at 6 on metalopolis. ssq mines just enough gas for reactor hellions the first 2 hellions are on the way but colagirl has a spine and queen walling the ramp, with another spite on the way. the drones evacuate the nat but there are banely enough to saturate the main anyway. another pair of hellions drive in ang get1 gets into the main while the queen is distracted, but can't do real damage. colagirl now dropping a roach warren and workig on some creep spread while ssq adds another factory, moving in with another round of 7 hellions. the queen blocks the main ramp but the hellions move behind the mineral line ta the nat and end up killing almost all the drones that were there. great damage by ssq, she now has the worker lead.

colagirl's first flock of mutas flies into ssq's base and takes out both refineries there... scratch that, the marines arrive in time just barely to save the 2nd. colagirl moves her mutas around to the other side, in perfect position to spot a fully loaded dropship taht quickly perishis. bane speed finishing and ?2 air attack starting for colagirl as the infestation pit finishes. colagirl now has mutas running rampant in the main. ssq sends a few marines back but the upgraded mutas overwhilem them and ssq is forced to turn her army back to chase away the mutas. colagirl with a sizable harvester lead, 60ish to 35ish. ssq moves out to the bottom watchtower again, and colagirl's creep spread is a bit lacking - should cover below the left main by now. she moves forward despite any creep, getting the unsieged tanks and chasing all the marines back. some vice marine spread delays the damage but can't stop colagirl's army, and as the zerg swarms into the nat, ssq tries some last-gasp defense with newly spawned marines but is forced to gg when they die. colagirl takes the first match!

That's probably worth its own thread imo.
With both SlayerS and ST having a female gamer on their roster it will be interesting to see if any more teams follow suit, also whether more events like this pop up.
game 2 of the 3rd place match starts with Colagirl in the red at 2 and SsQ in the blue at 5, walling the main with depot barracks depot. ssq with a quick 2nd factor this time in addition to one with a reactor, and colagirl doesn't spot the 2nd. she has a spine up and starts an evo chamber and additional spine to help protect the nat, plus a macro hatch. ssq's 2nd factory is idle, now she swaps it to be on anothe rreactor! gonna be a lot of hellions.... colagirl is about halfway through ling speed and the queen pokes at the first 2 hellions some. colagirl takes another gas and as the macro hatch pops here are a ton of hellions being produced, along with a starport and techlab. ssq starts a roach warren and has anice wall set up, the hellions can't get in! great queen block, lings can get out but hellions can't get in.

finals start with Aphrodite red at 2, Flo blue at 12. i think that means all the tvts thsi tournament here have been close air? flo reaper expands as usual, and aphrodite adds a 2nd gas while putting down the factory, looks like banshees. aphrodite positinoing her reapers as ssq did. , but this time flo runs her reaper around through the nat so it gets up into the main, scouting what she thinks is everything but i'm not sure if she saw the starport.

flo sets up again in her old position but the marauders on the high ground are doing a good job of keeping the tank count limited, and flo doesn't even really need the scvs she pulled - probably losst them needlessly to a fleet of hellions. the hellions run around outsid ethe nat but a bunker with marauders scare them off. this time aphrodite positions her next tank further away from the high ground but marauders still take it out. flo on 2 bases and about 40 scvs to aphrodite's 25 and just starting nat, despite having sacced scvs multiple times. flo pulling marines to save her barracks and stimming forward some marauders to keep the tank count low. doing a great job of preventing the critical mass of tanks, but a serious force of hellions is starting to build up. flo sees them move in and evacuates the nat, and the hellions for some reason stay on the low ground? can flo set up a wall and defend it from the siege tanks?

aphrodiet starts building a wall with her cc, and as her medvacs start to pop out she loads up 4 marauders. a viking pushes away the scouting barracks, and flo drops marauders in the main of aphroidte,s but the korean runs her huge hellon fource into flo's main. there are too many marauders for that attack to work, and she retreast to the saftey of her tanks. flo not really mining, not sure why. sets up adrop on the ntanks with marauders and marines, , but now the hellions move into the scv line while all hte infantry are away. its' a scv massacre, and flo can't produce fast enough to keep up with aphrodite's army. her tank count nnever got really high but the steady flow of hellions was able to wreak enough havoc that flo had to gg. 1-0 aphrodite.

Yeah, she cakewalked group play without dropping a game 5-0 and she got screwed by single elimination. Looks like Aphrodite prepared well with some RainbOw support.
game 2 starts with Aphrodite in the red at 5, Flo in the blue at 8. flo with her usual reaper expand followed by stim and an ebay, aphrodite this time expandign quickly as well with a facotry behind it. flo putting down 2 reactors on her 2 new barracks and she scans aphrodite's 2 factories, 1 with a techlab pumping out tanks, so flo starts some marauders + concussive and walls off the nat against hellions. aphrodite after taking her 3rd gas is moving on to starport, and flo starts her factory tech.

both players sitting back and macroing, flo adds her starport. aphrodite has about 6 or 7 tanks built up plus a raven, and flo is moving forward to #occupywatchtower with an infantry force as her 1/1 finishes. she loads up a medivac with marauders but there's a turret and 2 marines at the back of aphrodite's main, you can tell she was watching the ro4 series closely. flo spies it and nicely picks off hte turret after dropping her marauders at the low ground, and even gets atank before being chased away. flo also has her 3rd running and contemplates an attack into the natural but after scanning the nat and seeing all the sieged tanks reconsiders.

flo adcontinuing her infantry upgrades but adding siege tanks as well while aphrodite gets blue flame and starts to take her 3rd. flo sets up ahuge concave below the natural ramp ,and the players are ina standoff there as aphrodite's 3rd starts running. aphrodite now setds out an exploratory force of hellions but they're repelled by the few sieged tanks and many marauders, so she starts to slowly move her tanks forward while flo swings around toward the 3rd. flo stims forward to take out the two closest tanks, and aphrodite smartly pulls ONLY HER HELLIONS and stil defends the nat well, leaving all her tanks in good position.

I am British and it is not said the same way as it is on stream, it is aphrodit eeee not Aphrodite. She is the Greek goddess of beauty and love - WIKI for more info

Aphrodite is a Greek name and in greek they pronounce the ee at the end.

flo now loading up some marine drops but aphrodite's tank and turret coverage seems to be good, but aphroidet finds the sweet spot to drop in and take out 2 tanks, a nice trade for 8 marines since the medivac got away. aphrodite scans flos' contain and decides to move out with a huge sieg e and unsiege, and the pdd is doing great work. aphrodite loses all he rhellions but retains all her tanks, and flo stims forward on thnext unsiege but there are like 15 tanks so flo has to retreat again and regroup. aphrodite has decided the time is now and pushes across the map, and flo is engaging only piecemeal. the blue flame hellions nip at the infantry but flo doesn't quite have a grasp on where the tanks are siged. now escaping around the side she'll probably try to set up af flank but it will take so long and aphrodite has agood amoutn of tanklanded vikings to protect the tanks. with aphrodite pushing into the nat things look dire for fl, and after a last-gasp push of marauders by flow aphroidet sends in her huge main force of tanks, demolishing flo's 3rd, then as she moves into the main flo is forced to gg. aphrodite wins!

They underestimated her probably because she didn't play that well yesterday
HAHA, hilarious on the Chinese stream! The Chinese guy was saying that the western guy had a really healthy looking body shape (chubby is healthy looking for them) and asked the girl to translate it. She knew that wouldn't really be appreciated by the western guy so didn't really know what to say, hehe
Aphrodite is actually on ST? Didn't know that, wow, great opportunity for her :-o Still wonder how SlayersEve is coming along, too.
Also wanted to say nice casting by Gen and Kelly. I thought Gen was really awkward at first, but actually her giggly nervousness became really endearing for some reason, and she had some really good moments. She was talking about one of the player's openings in the game, and she's like "I like her opening. ... That sounds weird! (giggle)" Gave me a good laugh :-p
Someone needs to pick up ColaGirl. There's some serious Code S material in her play. She needs someone to help her tune her focus (like she didn't move 12 Mutas for almost half a minute, probably macro-ing?), but she'd probably beat a lot of foreigner pros if given the chance.
The Korean girl won, go figure. In all seriousness though, she played well and congrats. Maybe Rainbow should just turn to coaching instead of playing.

He's on the up, he's back into Code A and is doing coaching via his stream
Didn't get to watch it but what happened in the games? I watched yesterday and aphrodit was definitely a level below colagirl and flo. Good macro but terrrrible decision making.

i just don't like how all the good korean up and coming female sc2 players are all terran. i mean the best upcoming female players are obviously the korean ones, them being eve and aphrodite... and they are both terran we need some toss girl up in here to mix it up

Toss girl doesn't play Toss... lol. She hasn't for a LONG ass time afaik. But I would appreciate it if someone would inform me if I'm wrong.
But honestly, I believe ColaGirl is a better player than Aphrodite. She played much more solid throughout the tournament, and the only game where she really played her worst was in the first match of the 2nd day (vs Aphrodite, what luck...). Probably wasn't warmed up enough, and her head wasn't into it like it was in every other game. Aphrodite is really good, but ColaGirl I think is overall more solid, and a much safer pick if you're going to guess the winner of another all female tournament. Btw, ColaGirl is Zerg

I just finish watching the VODs. It was great run for Aphrodite. I think her, Colagirl & Flo are really good players. This is the second time watching Flo and shes a local in so cal. Gratz on getting second. Female Casters, KellyMilkies and Livinpink were entertaining (Myself, watching games in morning at 4AM PST.) Congrats to all the female players. I hope to see more female tourneys....maybe with TossGirl!

One of the most interesting Starcraft 2 events I have watched. The idea of female tournament was awesome. I was hardly rooting for Colagirl, and was kinda disappointed at the results, but it was awesome nevertheless. More and more respect for Zowie from me >^_^>
