Yeah, but some very good players, eg. Socke, Hasu, Goody, Darkforce...
|
any chance we can watch it without buy campus party ticket, maybe some other ticket just for the torney ;;;
|
Europe needs revenge from IEM NYC, hopefully some more hard-hitters will sign up!
Like the "top 2 qualifies" a lot more, no one getting in from playing diamond players :D
|
isnt the second qualifier on the same day as the first day of the homestorycup?

Yes, HSC starts also at 5th.
|
So far a lot of high level German sign-ups with Socke, GoOdy, HasuObs, Delphi and DarK.FoRcE. Feast will try to qualify for his second straight Global Challenge and KroLu & merz are also in the race.
|
It begins in 4 hours, not many people until yet, but the number of participants grows; Diestar and Akkis did sign up, since I checked the participants last time.
|
I hope someone will stream this, but I can't find anything in the schedule (esl/tl) :/
|
Mana's brother is signed up, but no Mana

think we can be sure that the regular ESL casters are on well deserved holidays, so.. hoping for a player stream 
|
I've attempted to submit the event to TL, spoken to Pholon and am waiting for Hasu to get in his first game to cast it!

Yay we should really have a "Caster" category for the streams

What a weird game 2 between DF and Adel
|
|
|
|
|
Looking Forward to seeing Darkforce in Sao Paulo :D
|
grats to both players for qualifing
|
Is ther other qualifier in 2 days, or has it been postponed? Whenever I sign up it says 12.01!
|
Now its the 10th...
Best guess the admins changed the date to avoid conflict with HSC 4.. without letting the OP of the thread know .. again .
|
|
|
Bumped and date changed. 2nd Qualifier is LIVE tonight, January 10th.
|
Stephano, bigs, Bling, White-Ra, darkforce, Socke, HasuObs, Diestar, merz, Adelscott, Delphi O_O
Cool : )
|
Holy crap lots of great players signed up. White Ra, Stephano, Hasu, etc... Gonna be siiiiiick

just wait a few seconds, it worked for me.
a really stacked qualifier. gonna root for hasu!
|
It's true though, just go to premium streams on esl tv and klick "Studio 2 HD".
|
I want Hasu to go through, but he's got a bumpy ride ahead of him...Probably Delphi=>Sjow=>Stephano.
Great Lineup today
|
Oh man, come on SNUTE! Let's DO IT!
|
I got esl premium, but hd stream doesnt work for me too.
|
you have to switch from 720+ to 720
then the hd stream will work
|
|
|
SjoW with a Goody supplyblock

bigs/harstem/snute/real. Another unexpected qualifier for kiev. Looove those qualifiers, gives new players a chance to make a name for themselves.

Snute gogo you can do it!
|
|
|
Real had a good run in HSC4, but he's getting outplayed by Snute, nice
|
Snute could have killed DT even with banelings before detection, by using "detonate".

Once I had an opponent who attacked my banelings with like 6 DT´s. European Qualifiers don´t fail to surprize me, first Feast making in through in the first qualifier (I guess at this time I am allowed to say, that he advanced) and now the second semi-final is quite surprising as well.
|
Snute - Stephano final would be awesome <3
|
 biGs, XlorD, Snute, sLivko or Stephano - two out of these five will make it to Sao Paulo. One way or the other: two more EU Zergs going to Brazil!

Can someone tells me why are those TV in such an awkward position ?
Anyway, Snute is fun to watch

gogo Stephano and XlorD!

Wow....
Right know it looks like Steph falls as quick as he has risen a few monts ago.
Hope he can get back on track again soon.
|
Really hope Bigs and sLivko make it.
|
|
|
XlorD 5-0!
I really hope he will start practicing more, he's such a talented player.

afaik he will finish school this year and then will go full time for one year.
And yeah I think he is one of the absolute top talents there are in Europe.
|
xlord has indeed sick talent would be cool to see him in sao paulo.
|
Great turnaround by xlord
|
|
|
Congratz biGs and XlorD! they really played impressive.
|
Really nice ZvZs, very well played by Xlord and Bigs.
|
I just watched the last 2 maps xlord played and those were great. gl in brasil.
|
That last ZvZ between biGs and Snute was so entertaining. Such micro intensive baneling wars.
|
Great job by Rotterdam too, I really liked he kept switching between games.
|
Yay biGs! At least we got ONE competitive swiss player ^^
