Would you stop announcing all those players, please? I can't take this awesomeness anymore.
This is going to be the foreign online tournament with the highest average skill level since like forever.

That flat out sucks for the guys in EU, from EU to KR according to pingtest I have a ping of 600ms, which for gaming is unusable.
At the least EUvsKR should be on NA.

A new player is know, check it out !
|
What this tournament needs, is a bit of Grubby

I hope to see a good korean terran like bomber or MKP now :p

Such a stacked tournament =].

|
|
great lineup so far, as always with the Millenium cups :D
|
The last player will be announced tonight !
|
And the last player of MSI Pro Cup January is....
+ Show Spoiler +
All of the 14 players have been announced.
|
It's gonna be lengen... wait for it.... DARY!!!
|
|
|
I can't remember of any online EU or US cup with such a stacked lineup ever before :o
Very hard to designate a winner, I guess Oz, Polt and Stephano are favorite, but every player has a chance to go far or even win.
|
Effing great! Btw: Adebisi will be streaming all 3 days, Khaldor will be streaming day 2 and 3. And there maaaay be a live feed from the Nuremberg Barcraft in Germany :D
|
I would love to see a nice perf from Grubby after is bad run at IEM but it's gonna be hard.
|
Hi everyone.
The bracket is up.
|
I would have bet all my money that Grubby would meet either Nerchio or Stephano....
|
Will Korea VS Europe games be played on NA server ?

Games between Koreans and Foreigners will be played on NA server, and Korean vs Korean on KR server.

The MSI/Millenium Cup has always the best player pool of all monthly tournaments.
|
So many matches I'm looking forward to

Yes really weird coincidence. And if Grubby wins he will meet Stephano again!
|
no, if grubby wins against nerchio he will meet thorzain
|
Awesome players, kind of a shame that all the Koreans are in one part of the bracket, but you can't help it when the bracket is random.
|
I don't think the bracket is random at all, it will allow koreans to play on their servers.

Actually it is not random at all. This is made so that the korean players can play in their server and thus have the best game environment possible (ping and so on), at least for the two first round.
Millenium and Llewellis (whom organizes the event) are so kind and gentle with the players actually. Llewellis said in Millenium.tv that players are so happy with schedules and organization that they are always eager to play next MSI Pro Cup (like ThorZaIN for instance, who spammed him to play the #4, he said).
I'm kinda sad for Grubby that he'll again fight against Nerchio (at least it is not Stephano this time). I'm also waiting for Kas vs. Stephano, the best European terran against arguably the best European zerg.
|
When does it actually start? It says 19:30h CET every playday in the first post and on the Cuppage. But its 20:00h CET in the TL Calendar. Stream showing 1st person replay analysis. Always confusing with the times, dudes!

He is explaining on stream that he makes sure everything goes on schedule, that might be why he is starting right away.

Wow someone needs to tell whoever runs this to invite the english caster. They just all jumped into the game and started without him, I get that they want to be on schedule but all someone needed to do was invite him into the lobby...
|
Sigh, how hard it can be to invite casters to games....
|
This tournament has great players but very bad organisation, why wouldnt they have an english caster ? Adebisi didnt even get invite wow..

As they let players creating games, invite of casters is quite erratic. What a shame... Not very professional actually.

Games on KR server are host by the players to reduce lags, and it seems that Oz doesn't invite him

Oz did not invite Adebesi for the third even if Millenium caster asked for that twice. Weird.

Sorry guys, there shouldn't be any problem for the EU games, but I'm just gonna not bother casting the rest of Polt vs Oz.

oz is a prison show(amazing btw) and adebisi is a character,a huge black guy with a tiny hat on the side of his head,running the drugs/rapes inside the prison,pretty much the coolest guy on the show

And now when I try to log in on EU or NA I get the "there is a temporary outage of BNet service" message, might not be able to provide english stream at all, sorry guys, going to work on getting this fixed will Oz/Polt are finishing.
Gah so frustrating was really looking forward to this tourney :/

Damn . polt just doesn't stop with attacking
|
How can you have such a nice event and then ruin it by not broadcasting in English? This event should have 20K-40K viewers atleast!
Not going to take the headache by listening into these streams tho.

Hmmmm I just saw that Dimaga said he was tired and wanted to start at once or give the win to beasty, soooo.... it might be a default win for Beasty since Llewellys doesn't seem to want to start while they are already playing another game and said "then let him give the win, no way we start now"...
I hope they'll play it :o
|
Dimaga is acting like a child to be honest, he was the one late, then beasty asked that they play after white ra vs seth, dimaga whined a little bit but that's it, after that they start the series between white ra and seth, after 5 min into the game he asks that the game is played right now or he forfeits, what the fuck is that ?

Well maybe, but don't forget that French is far less modulate than English, less melodic and dramatic too.

I live in Belgium and i know what casters sound like in for example football and they're a lot more excited than that guy  Maybe it's because he's casting alone!

can someone log on to sc2 on eu server?

Honestly, you can't blame the admins, I can't even get on EU Battle.net, and there's a prompt on the left that says Blizzard is aware of an issue with the login servers, its just kind of a perfect storm of shit .

Llewelly tells a lot about strategies and techniques but he is indeed not the best french shoutcaster to make it fun those are either Pomf & Thud or Zerator (Zerator is probably really hard to understand for foreigners because he speaks fast and he spend a lot of time playing on words )

I agree with that, we can't blame them for b.net problems, but the fact that Beastyqt and DIMAGA start to play without streamers just because DIMA feel tired seems to be due to a lack of firmness from organisers. I didn't want to be mean besides that, it is indeed a beautiful cup and Millenium guys are awesome
|
Sheth is going to obs White-Ra vs Dimaga, so there'll be a English stream if he is streaming now.

When did Dimaga play Beasty? Did I miss something?

At least cast Polt vs Oz. It was an exciting series!

Adebisi, do you think you will be able to stream today?

You must, Adebisi, you must!
I'm so excited to see how it'll play out, if Stephano will destroy Kas again or if it will be close this time, I want to know if Nerchio can finally win against Grubby, if Mana can overcome his PvZ weakness and the best thing is, no matter who advances, the quarterfinals will be great in any case.

Nice teaser buddy ! i want know too !

Hey guys, I will cast the matches today I am not 100% sure if will be in English or German, but probably in English. Furthermore i will probably invite a progamer to join my Cast, so be prepared and tune in !

Does anyone know why the tournament doesn't appear in the upcoming events section on the right?

Okay i will definately cast the cup in English, together with "Foxy" from the Sc2ZergLair !
|
I'm hoping for either Grubby vs Polt or ThorZaIN vs DIMAGA final. But regardless I love these tournaments, will there be an English stream available today? I know yesterday there was three streams but one was Russian and two were French (I believe).

Awesome news, I'll be sure to tune in.

This bracket seems rather unlucky for polish players. I do not care what statistics say Nerchios ZvP is not his best MU and MaNa while owning in PvT still has some problems in PvZ (even if casters say all the time how he improved in this MU).
|
Half an hour before awesomeness :D
I can't wait
|
I'm eager to see some good matches, i can't wait for the beginning of the cup.
Millenium/Stephano/Llewellys hwaiting
As a side note, Yogo, the french caster from Millenium, is absolutely great and is really knowledgeable (very high masters / GM Zerg). It seems he's going to be recruited on a permanent basis by Millenium.
|
Stream is online guys ! : )
|
|
|
|
|
Lack of a decent stream is what hurts this tournament the most. The line-up is sooooo good, everything else - not so much.
Nerchio vs Grubby just began.
|
|
|
haha MaNa is observing Nerchio vs Grubby and commentating on his stream :-)
|
only Mana is casting in english right now
his english is not bad
|
the game of one forcefield ;/ nothing special
...
im dissapointed

Grubby 2 0 Nerchio, i dont understand why he can beat nerchio so often and always lose to stephano..
|
Grubby vs Thorzain will be played next!
|
Really weird game from nerchio, kinda unfocused build with roach/muta/corruptor/ling, never really did anything.
|
Nerchio played really bad for his standards.. seems like his ZvP is still shattered after HSC, on the other hand a solid play from Grubby, gg!
|
so dimaga wont be playing today?

Hahahah, oh wow... how does Stephano do it? Perfect cheese defense.

stephano so good, I know I would have gg'ed when I lost the first part of the defence^^

Pretty gud yo. Not giving up immediately, but trying to hold it. Idra can learn something here.

so well played by stephano (:

Great work with the mutas.
|
He makes it look sooo ez.
|
ridiculous game by Stephano
|
Stephano's play is so artistic.
|
I've no idea where it went wrong for Kas, but it looked like he didn't stand a chance :o
Edit : maybe he should have made turrets faster, it seems the mutas harass was very effective and let Stephano macro as he wished.
|
its stupid how easy it looks it feels like i go ladder now and do the same but i cant even beat a masters terran :/
|
Wow, that was a demonstration how to play, I'm seriously impressed.
|
That's why he said in interview "I don't use muta much because it's imba" ^^
|
Kas got crushed there in the second game. Playing that greedy with such an early 3rd CC against Stephano is kind of suicidial.
|
Well, this is bound to happen with all the terrans who tries to blind counter Stephano.
No turrets & no aggression, there is no way to win against muta.
|
MaNa vs Ret and the winner of this vs Stephano. Awesome matches today, I'm pumped! I have to say that the lineup of this tournament is better than some of the major events out there.

Hard to imagine. Stephano = a ton of glings and infestors. It's his trade mark.
For Stephano, playing mutas is like a cheese. No one would expect fast mutas.

Great tournament! Great Players! Great Games! Happines!

4:00 third for ret, beat his own record of 4:10 i think lol
|
the sad thing is,no matter how much stephano is above every foreign player,hes still no match to the likes of mc/mma and so on.

Roaches.

What the..? Why did Ret leave the game? I haven't watched the whole match, but i saw Ret having nearly all bases on the left and having a decent roach army. And suddenly he leaves?
|
I thought Ret was so far ahead almost the entire game.. sick play by Mana, always knew when and how to engage
|

Ret had prob. 20+ drones, a lot of roaches in production or rallied, warped in units are in combat immediately
than add that roaches are not supply efficient

Llewellys (millenium's manager) said tonight on the stream that he made on offer to Bling. Bling is still under contract with dignitas until late february. We'll know in 2 months if Bling leaves Dignitas to Millenium.

Explain to me how Millenium can organize this stacked tournament without having an english caster. 2 French, 1 Russian, 1 Polish? Really?

I like the french cast actually. Pretty energetic.

french starcraft is best starcraft

Players are happy to participate in a (very) well-organized tournament (from a player's pov) with good prizes. They don't give a damn if there are casters or not. French cast is followed by around 6k ppl, which is more than enough for MSI to be happy and to provide 1k€ for the next one.
And as for the one saying Stephano is not a match to top Koreans, well...he proved you wrong so many times I won't bother list them
Sick play between Ret & Mana on this last game, so many back & forth, very enjoyable to watch.

Bling is the only good english player, he's a worthy investment for Dignitas and i guess they are going to try to keep him, but it seems Bling and Stephano are close friends, at least, Stephano, Bling and Bling's mother have exchanged tons of tweets.
|
stephano is gonna nomatch mana and thorzain
dimaga can't deal with a korean terra
can't wait to watch stephano v polt
Llewellys also said millenium probably won't be able to match dignitas new offer
however, he announced (in 2011 recap), millenium will hire a new international player

mana met stephano on ladder earlier today and said "you are like 40-3 wins against me"
|
tt many supply blocks from mana
|
|
|
|
|
Haha, poor MaNa.
|
Stephano had more roaches than many had workers.
|
Wow, this one pretty one sided...the move to attack the B3 to have Mana stuck by his own forcefields was genius :D
And ye, Mana was supply blocked so many times, especially at the start...quite sloppy play :-(
|
Roaches gonna roach. Smart FF-provoking from Stephano.
|
"WHY SO MANY ROACHS".
Stephano had like 150 pop to 75 of Mana.
|
Classic attack at B3 to stuck the protoss units into win by Stephano

Why can't I get a macro like this, even when i'm playing a 1v0 practice game :D

Stephano vs Mana record: 42-3 Stephano
|
Its sad to watch, Mana playing like he doesnt care at all. Disrespecting to fans
|
mana played so sloppy not at all as good as he was last summer
had a probe in stephano's base and didn't scout, multiple big supply blocks and not active at all with first two zealots TT;;
|
I feel sad for Mana :-( He didn't play as well as he could imho.
Wp Stephano, korean timings...I guess playing bling whole afternoon was useful, heh
|
There comes a time, if he's seriously being manhandled by Stephano every game like he said, including ladder, you lose faith a little ;( It showed in TZain vs Stephano last week, too...
|
"why so many" mana's chatting was better than his play today...
|
how can he has so much stuff before warpgate finishes?
|
wow I was excepting more challenge but it was really one sided :/
|
Everyone loses hope against Stephano. He is far an away the best foreign player right now. I can't even think who'd be 2nd to him, he's just steamrolling everyone he faces.

The chat between stephano and mana was epic =)

Well, even if they beat him, Stephano's record and achievements still smash there's. They're not in his league. Both great players, but at this point Stephano is a step beyond anyone not still alive in code S.
Stephano is at that level now, you make a mistake, its over, you won't be coming back because he won't return the favor by making mistakes of his own.
He is the best of both world, he plays almost completely error free, while being able to be aggressive because of his supreme unit control and his ability to preserve his lings.
His opponents play sloppy, because they know they need to play near perfect to have a chance.

Exept this cup, tell me when Stephano did play fast Muta on antigua?
Exept this cup, tell me when Stephano did play heavy roach/ling build on 3 bases?
Exept this cup and blizzard cup, tell me when Stephano plaid cheesy rush roach?
They seem to play sloppy because Stephano never play like that, it's unexpected

Stephano does a cheesey roach rush in like every tournament he's in.

Actually, only against protoss, he very rarely goes heavy roaches against terrans (for obvious reasons xD) and in ZvZ he plays all kind of styles w/o preference (lings / blings, mutas, roach / infestor, etc)
But yeah, heavy roaches against protoss is not something Mana should have been surprised with xD

He always used some of these variations sometimes, to diversify his gameplay in order to not be too much predictable. (like all great players do. ). Sometimes it's also situational. (like heavy glings/roach on third)
Anyways Kas not in top shape tbh.

He won't go exclusive roaches vs terran like he does with lings, but he certainly makes roaches against terran.

It could be true but it looks like so much one sided from my point of view. For instance Kas never felt Stepahno was going to go muta whereas he dealyed his 3rd a long time on Antiga, on game 1 his decsion making was pretty questionable aswell: 3 rax push with not enough scvs (only 1 or2 ?) in the really first marines push. Mana seemed to not really play that seriously looking the minichat before the game and was not focused that much :/

To be fair towards Kas and Mana alot of it its mental. They have played Stephano so many times and lost like 99% of them so ofcourse those matches will be in there mind. Its like Goody vs Cloud something just happends mentally.

That's because the french commentary you are hearing is from one of the older caster out there. He - Llewellys - and YoGo (soon to be a full-time caster if I'm not mistaken) are the solo casters in France and probably in Europe as solo-casting is a much different job than dual-casting. If you want bad french casting, you will be able to listen to the much-dreaded Pomf&Thud (who curiously have a huge fanbase) in the IronSquid tournament.

Mana is 9-8 vs Stephano and Kas 9-13, so doubt its that.

Okay, Stephano is good, but I don't believe he would be able to survive the hell that is Code A, acording to your statement Stephano is better as fOrGG, July, Bomber, LosirA, TheSTC etc. etc.
Again, he is good but he doesn't stand a chance against most of the Code A players.

lol
You do know Stephano destroyed all these players in Korea right?

They have played Stephano so many times and lost like 99% of them so ofcourse those matches will be in there mind. Its like Goody vs Cloud something just happends mentally. Btw im kind of sad i missed this any1 got the vods? Mana is 9-8 vs Stephano and Kas 9-13, so doubt its that.
Which stats are you taking?
Stephano says 44-4 vs Mana and I know Kas havent been able to beat Stephano since summer last year

I don't think most people get how good the kid is. He's the best player bar-none. His unit control, decisions, reflexes, map awareness, etc etc are all above the Code S players.
The reason Nestea could be considered better is because Nestea takes the time to come up with really creative strategies that are designed to exploit his opponents decisions.
Stephano, for the most part, just plays his own game. This is why you have "counter" builds prepared for him. If he scouts it, which he will, he'll react. And if you give him an inch, he'll take a mile and take the game.

You do realize that all you just wrote is not true, right? Yes, he is very good, but NO, he is not the best player in this world. Please open your eyes to reality.
Sad that MaNa and Grubby lost, but their big tournament wins will come this year, I am sure! Looking forward to the finals of this one...

He gets his stats from Stephano and Mana themself, yesterday during their match :
"Stephano : Ready for the 47-3?
"Mana : Not a chance, it will be 45-5"
It's includes custom training games i think, and i don't know when they started to count their win.

LOL
You do know ladder is meaningless when it comes to ranking players right?
I think Stephano could handle Code A as long as he understands what to prioritize first. He doesn't panic and he executes his plans fairly well, which are the true keys.

anyone know where i can watch these games back?

Are you kidding me? Above Code S level? He should have won the Blizzard Cup than, instead of going 2-2
This Stephano is the "best in the world" crap is seriously starting to make me want to root against him.

Yes, MVP prepared a counter-build for him and won with it. He also did a roach all-in vs MC which MC held. Like I said... people prepare counter builds for the kid and beat him with them, like RGNspades did during his stream today. Stephano smashed him in a macro game1, then Spades did a nice marauder hellion all-in game 2 and won.
His stream is available for everyone to watch; why don't you go check it out and see how good he really is for yourself?

I have, he's obviously good, but he's not anywhere near as good as you say he is.
Claiming otherwise just shows ignorance and narrow mindedness.

I think this is the first time I've seen someone proclaim Stephano to actually be a superior player to guys like MVP/MMA though. I mean, even if it's an analogy, comparing Spades to MVP is just downright insulting. I love the insinuation too...MVP obviously isn't as good as Stephano in a "real macro game."

Exept this cup, tell me when Stephano did play heavy roach/ling build on 3 bases? Exept this cup and blizzard cup, tell me when Stephano plaid cheesy rush roach? They seem to play sloppy because Stephano never play like that, it's unexpected
1. He played fast muta on antigua at SC4 against Thorzain, one or two weeks ago.
2. Tons of time on ladder at least; there was an MLG he played it v boxer.
3. Against MMA at IPL, against MKP at HSC4, etc.
Stephano's versatility is another facet of his game that makes him so good. He doesn't do these builds all of the time but players have to know that he's capable of doing them; it keeps them honest.

This tournament is ending tonight with Dimaga vs Polt, and Thorzain vs Stephano
Who will forfeit the finals ? let's find out

Saying Stephano is above Code S doesn't mean he's above players like Mvp and MMA who are also above the average Code S players. And wether you like it or not, Stephano has 2nd best ELO in the world, with only Mvp above him

This tournament is off the hook, shame White-Ra lost to his kryptonite again, and Grubby vs Tzain was probably a tight series.

Sleep was never invited to ONOG and Stephano didn't drop a game in that tournament.

wow.. never saw bnet lag so much, that's weird.

A complete dick move by Polt, I almost feel a rematch should be in order for his behavior. If the game lags that bad, you pause, you don't continue to A-Move into the opponent's main.
The problem was, he has that game like 99% WON, there is no reason not to pause it! Just a bit lacking of manner.

You're seriously saying that the person who is lagging has some sort of advantage? Have you ever played with lag? Zzz.

It's just good etiquette, you're about to win anyway exactly, so what is the point in being bad manner?

But it's really not bad manner. If dimaga wanted a pause, he could have done it himself.

The problem was, he has that game like 99% WON, there is no reason not to pause it! Just a bit lacking of manner, but if Dimaga has no complaints then all good. He lost the game from the beginning anyway. You're seriously saying that the person who is lagging has some sort of advantage? Have you ever played with lag? Zzz.
Yeah, that didn't make much sense...
Anyway, given what happened between Stephano and Thorzain when they played a week or two ago, I have a feeling this will be pretty one-sided
Should be an interesting finals between Stephano and Polt though, except that I fear it will be ruined by EU-KR latency -.-

Oh man, Khaldor, this doesn't do any good. Just let it slide and talk about games, styles, whatever you like.

I expected Thorzain to do some all ins or something, since even Stephano said his macro style isnt hard to beat.

Sorry guys, I didn't see the games. How went Polt vs Oz?

Polt won 2-1. They were pretty nice games from both sides. Oz was doing some interesting transitions and such.

Stephano trolling as usual
|
LOL STEPHANO:
"Stay polite unless you wanna get 3-0'd "
|
Why would anyone have an advantage in lag? I was trying to say, nobody can play in lag that severe. Anyway it was a minor thing.

"A complete dick move"? "Feel a rematch should be in order'? Because it's not like Polt has been playing with cross-server lag for the entire series right?

Some link with the replays?

BO win? But Stephano scouted the hellions, and we all know Thorzain is usually a bit greedy.

This is friendly trolling between two friends, why do you complain ? Have you never spoken in that way to your friends ? >< lightly taunting/joking with them ?

Stephano and Thorzain are good friends. They are joking with each other. Mana does it too, as does Bling.
It's the same thing as Huk and MC at MLG.

I know I do, I'm not denying it...but my question has nothing to do with Stephano and everything to do with people seeming to be defending trolling...that's all...
Lower pitchforks <3

And you're obviously a Stephano fanboy, otherwise you wouldn't have looked that up

Double spire, yessssssss.

Thorzain bringing in the guns ! I don't see Stephano winning that game. Then again, I thought that sometime and was proven wrong -_-
I still think Thorzain isn't one to fuck up and should be able, if he doesn't wait 10 minutes, to win this.
Tzain 190 pop, Steph 120 :p

stephano is so crippled, if he gets back into this game after being 60 vs 100 supply its a miracle

Probably just opening door for delivery or taking it out of oven to prevent fire/burnt food. Can't imagine he would actually eat now.

I had such a good impression on Stephano at first but lately all the stuff he's been doing lately..

I think he should get DQ'd if he actually starts eating or takes longer thaan 5 minutes.

Pretty bold of Thorzain to go greedy once again. But it payed of and he played very well. gg

That's official, players can't pause the game anymore. Stephano should have a fine for that. I mean, pausing the game? How, so bad mannered.

He said he ordered chinese, and food arrived. He had to pay the guy, why are you guys so mad ?

"he's just paying his food"

Stephano goes to pay the delivery man himself, TL starts hating. Typical.

I think its pretty obvious that Stephano just did that to be a jerk. He's in the middle of a casted tournament game. He's at the team house. Surely someone else could get it for him.

Lol that is true but it does seem a little uprofessional to do in the semi-finals of a casted tournament. That being said, gj thorzain!

Furthermore, why would you order food to arrive during your games?

is this the last game ? (bo3) or is it a bo5?

Yeah, i loved that build btw, really nice safety from the banshee, and it's hard to read as the zerg i think. Hellion runby to weaken the queens and going with 2 banshees after.

im pretty sure he hired a guy to poke thorzain with a stick while theyre playing,and he just ups'ed a dead horses head to polt in preparation of the finals.thats just how he rolls,jerk style!

Look at Stephano trolling and trying to get a reaction. From the looks of this thread, he is once again successful. Seriously people? He is doing it precisely because he knows that there will be people who will start raging over it.

So happy that it seems like Thorzain is gonna win

Seems like Stephano just want to go eat his food. :d

Well done Thorzain. Pretty obvious he was going for this considering the map choice.

Extremly bad push from Stephano, it looks like he didn't notice the tank on the hill. Very strange missplay from him, quite disappointing. Game over.

You are the true Stephano-slayer.

Thorzain...like a boss. Congrats! :D

Well done, Thorzain

Nice to see ThorZaIN defeat Stephano in a series!!!! :D

Does anyone else feel like Stephano didn't play properly because he rather ate? X)

Why does everybody have this odd idea that Stephano's life revolves around them. Sure I think that players have to show a little bit of respect to their fans, but if Stephano has to do something let him do it. Pausing the game is no big deal, stop bashing him for being a person.
Also, ThorZaIN's crisis management has got to be some of the best in the world. I know that it's always been something special about his play (anyone remember the game on Crossfire in TSL3 Finals, I thought he was dead and NaNi had won for sure).

It was greedy, but that build was so clutch. Obviously he should have scouted the third, because then he could have finished it way earlier, but that was really well played.

Polt vs Thorzain? Well well I think Polt has this in the bag.

It wasn't Stephano playing, horrible games from his part =/ Banelings on tank, zerglings on marines, overcommitment to the pushes, plenty of units lost for nothing...Credit is due to Thorzain to taking advantage of it, but I'm used to much better play from Stephano.

Well I didn't expect this result, gogo Thorzain, spoon Polt to death.

A complete dick move by Polt, I almost feel a rematch should be in order for his behavior. If the game lags that bad, you pause, you don't continue to A-Move into the opponent's main.
The problem was, he has that game like 99% WON, there is no reason not to pause it! Just a bit lacking of manner, but if Dimaga has no complaints then all good. He lost the game from the beginning anyway. You're seriously saying that the person who is lagging has some sort of advantage? Have you ever played with lag? Zzz. Yeah, that didn't make much sense... Anyway, given what happened between Stephano and Thorzain when they played a week or two ago, I have a feeling this will be pretty one-sided Should be an interesting finals between Stephano and Polt though, except that I fear it will be ruined by EU-KR latency -.-
Well I guess I'll have to eat my own words. Not complaining though, go Sweden!
...not that I really think Thorzain will beat Polt, but whatever
Think Stephano was more focused on his food than on the actual games though, didn't really play the way he uses to

GJ tZaIN ! :D
btw are the replays will be available to download ?

Polt vs ThorZaiN is gonna be interessing imo.
I hope we see atleast one game of Polt's bio vs ThorZaiN mech.

Hope this doesn't end in an other 3 - 0 for Polt like last time...

Congrats Thorzain, stephani played subpar
GOGO Thorzain!!

As soon as people start to doubt Thorzain he proves he's the top foreigner terrran again. I had to bit my toungue when someone said Goody and Demuslim is better than him.

Aww. would've liked to see Stephano vs Polt. Ahh oh well.

stephano was hungry and wanted to eat the food. u know ?

I guess Stephano was eating while playing.

I still would not say, that one win against Stephano makes him the top foreigner terran. Kas was really impressive lately, winning ONOG and taking 3rd place at IEM. But it should be one of those two, they are better than Demuslim and Goody (no disrespect to those to, being not as good as Kas/Thorzain is no shame).
|
Kas and Thorzain are definitely the top2 foreigner terrans. If I had to pick just one I'd say Kas is slightly ahead right now, but thats just because he has been more in the spotlight recently.
Sadly besides Kas and Thorzain I can't think of a terran player who would be a strong contender in any tournament.

If Stephano did not pay the food delivery man, haters would go Stephano is a douche for not paying delivery man and making him wait! LOL. When you order Food it can arrive at any time. If it had arrived after or before the match then no-one would be bothered. Stephano does not control what time the Food man arrives. When it arrives he has to deal with it. No big deal.
Thorzain played the last two games very well. His first drop enabled him to scout the roach and baneling build and prepare a strong defence ahead of the attack. That was the key.

Polt should have asked for an hour to go eat breakfast, then come back and tell the doesn't feel like playing no more and ask them to postpone the tournament.. that would be just business as usual over there methinks.

Polt has way better multitasking than ThorZaiN sadly here.
|
|

ok that was bad, a moved his raven in...
|
Polt, a true nerd that plays games at 6 am because school's out and he no longer has a reason to have a regular sleep cycle.
But in all seriousness, I think Polt and Bomber are the two guys who don't give a shit about the times they play because these two ladder like they never sleep....
EDIT: Actually, speaking of ladder heros, the more I see them playing here and there the more I wonder if they ever sleep....

Just a 100 % Mechanics showdown.
Superior multitasking won the game

Thorzain lost so many units to the initial banshee harass that he had to pull SCVs to defend the first push, then Polt just attacked in too many places for Thorzain to defend properly.

ThorZaIN hasn't mech'd in TvT for a long time. In fact back at NASL he was saying how easy he thought it was to beat. I would be surprised to see mech from either of these players, to be honest.

Huh, is it just me or does it almost feel like one of the reasons Polt is playing on so many NA/EU tournaments is so he can work on his multitask and mechanics due to the latency forcing him away from micro-intensive strats?
I know there's money involved, but I just feel like it'd be a sensible idea considering the fact that Polt got a lot of shit for only being able to micro and do timing attacks and he's really moved away from that style.

Thei're switching server between each game so it's kinda weird to train playing with latency. :d
I think Polt is just trying to get a bit of extra money from foreigners online tournament to help his income.
Seoul University must be expensive.

not as nice as goody vs kas on kas stream 2 days ago, but still

So strange that Polt didn't lift off his orbital sooner. They both were a bit slow to lifting them off and trying to save them.

The orbital make a full run around the map x)
