I will watch anything casted by Rotterdam. Other than that, qxc should take this if he's been playing actively recently. Haven't seen him in a while now.

I loled irl.
I think it's highly likely qxc will steamroll desrow, but hopefully it is a good match.

I'll check this out for sure, idk it would seem silly to bet against qxc in this match. Then again we have seen bigger upsets before. Either way i hope its a long good series!
I may watch just to see qxc play. I love his harassy, solid play. I would be incredibly surprised if desrow pulls out more than 1 win against the IM all-killer.

Have you even seen those games?
I have to admit that I haven't seen them yet. Well, I'm always hoping for close games anyway, so I guess I'm blindly cheering for the underdog.
QXC 3-0 ezpz. Pretty much all games I've seen of desRow in his stream he's floating 1-2k+ minerals and 1k gas, that's just not going to work against QXC.
Desrow is probably the underdog in this fight. That said, I still think he can take the show match. No one knows what qxc is up to at any given time it seems, so he might not be practicing. I know for sure Desrow is practicing because I am always watching his stream every day :D
Thanks for sponsering this show match. I have a lot of respect for any company or any person that sponsors an event or a show match.
GL to Desrow and qxc. Either way, I am sure I will enjoy watching the games.
I watch DesRow everyday and enjoy watching him win and hate watching him lose. I could care less who wins the showmatches but I hope the games are really good like his last showmatch!

I have a lot of followers who don't visit TL or have no TL account. Questioning whether or not I spend the time to make new accounts to promote my own stuff is nonsense esp since I ladder 8hours a day and I don't have much free time =P

Oh my, that's pretty pathetic...
Never like to jump to conclusions but yeah....it's pretty pathetic.
Sadly it seems Desrow is behind those accounts considering the reply content and the fact that he felt the need to explain to us why there are so many 1-posters right after people started to question the "phenomenon". Like, why would specifically his fans be guys who've never posted here?

youre dellusional if you think i made those accounts
anyway thanks for watching I wish I played all games like g3. Kinda played bad overall expect better games in the future! Thanks to rotti and qxc for being awesome ! Vods will come up in the upcoming days ill post it in this thread
Oops, wrong thread. Edit: Now that i'm here though, it does seem a tad bit too pathetic to make those accounts only to give yourself flattering words so i'll give you the befinit of doubt.
desRow, act like a pro and stop commenting on stuff being said on TL.
What if every celebrity had to comment or answer what every magazine or rumour that was made? If you want to be good and a pro you have to learn to just shut the fuck up and let people have an opinion, and don't give a fuck about what people think about you.
Too bad that you are too interested in what the community thinks about you instead of just concentrating on your game performance. That is probably why you'll never be among the top foreigners, or even be remembered for anything good.

LOL! Pro has nothing to do with what you comment on... It's how you play. What if he won this series 3-0 and commented on everyone praising him? Would that be frowned upon? If he said things like "Thanks!" or "You people are so nice!" would you tell him to shut up and let people have an opinion?
And who are you tetrismaan? I know when someone says desrow, I know who they're talking about, but tetrismaan won't be remembered for anything. He's living his life, let him do it. Back off and let him post all he wants. I seriously can't believe how some people act...

I'm just tired of him coming to the TL threads everytime there is a discussion about him instead of just thinking "Haters gonna hate" and move on, and because of that I don't like him.
Ofcourse he can make a general statement like "Thanks for the support all!", but coming down to us mortal non-pros and start discussing is just sad, and I think it's painful to watch, that he have to stand up for himself on a forum, instead of just practice to shut the mouth of the haters.

He bans a lot of people out of blind rage, I was a victim of this as well. I turn ad-block on his stream now so he doesn't get any money from me. Keep in mind, he is the only stream I turn ad-block on, I have it off for TL and every other pro player stream but if he's going to act silly towards me I'm inclined to do the same.
User was banned for being a malicious user with 13 bans and as many warnings.

Do you seriously just follow desRow around to hate on him? Like half the posts I see of you are basically that... just don't bother posting if you're just gonna be obnoxious like that :\

I don't hate him, if I did I wouldn't watch his stream... Hell I prefer watching him over Dream Hack. I'm just bitter about being banned from the chat-room for no reason and I'm obviously not the only one as many other countless people have said the same thing.

Talking to non pros when your a pro is sad? Really? If I ever get good enough to be a pro I hope I will still talk to normal people.

You can obviously do what you want, but personally I feel that it's more justified to simply not watch a stream if you dislike a person. Instead of disabling adblock when watching him just to hurt him, which seems kind of childish.

Like I've already stated, I don't dislike desRow and prefer watching him over even DreamHack. It just really rubbed me the wrong way being banned on the chat room so this is my way of paying him back, no hard feelings.
Also I don't understand your point. If I don't watch his stream, that's the same thing as turning ad-block on so there's no difference. In fact, I tell my friends who play SC2 to watch desRow so he is actually getting more viewers because of me and therefore being supported anyways.

Way to try and make yourself sound awesome.....
You can justify it all you want, but adblock is bad, and adblock'ing because you got a account that means nothing banned from a chat room (that also means nothing) that you could just make a new account and re enter is even sillier....

Not trying to be awesome, just saying it as it is. I respect your opinion but the ad-block will stay.
Seems like Desrow has some dedicated haters. I see people in his chat remaking account after account just to flame him. Anyway at least he has the balls to take on good players like this. I figure some of the haters are just people who lost to him on stream and are trying to get some sort of revenge.
Maybe next time he should take on someone a little closer to his level though? But then I suppose it won't get as much attention.

What the hell is this? We should treasure pro interaction here not tell them to shut the fuck up, not give a fuck, and go away.
I've been frequenting desrow's chat rooms/stream for a good 3months+ now since it coincides with my daily schedule and its entertaining..... I haven't been banned yet. I don't believe those people who say they got banned for no reason. Desrow is actually EXTREMELY lenient with his viewers. Spammers generally don't get banned unless its their 10th warning or something stupid. The only people i've seen banned are either
A) People banned by desbot for posting links B) People promoting other people's streams C) Making fat jokes about desrow 24/7 D) Bronze players telling desrow after a loss to make void rays when he doesn't even have a stargate, and their likes.

or by telling him mass banshee isn't impossible to beat??? thats why i got banned, by saying "Mass Banshee isn't OP, you just needed to scout earlier." then i got perma banned, not even time out....
but on the topic, i hope QxC gets back into his korean all kill state :D

I could also just state "Don't feed the trolls" instead of what I wrote.
I don't see why it would be so strange with some first posters/low post counts in the "desRow threads". He asks his viewers to go here and spread the love and puts the link in the chat. Hell, I came here from desRow's chat. :D

Yeah it's pretty much all of that. But I don't think desbot bans anyone, it just deletes the messages. It did before though and the mods had to unban if so.
Well fought Des, but I think you aimed a bit too high with this one. Thanks for the games.
