Polt GanZI Ryung Alicia Stephano (would really love Delphi 1000 times more then Stephano, but don't think it's realistic that it will happen ) Zenio aLive Puzzle
delphi impresses me, he took out hongun and check with 2-0. but stephano is unbeatable, therefore he will lose 0-2. suprised to see grubby and socke out (especially grubby vs abver), but well, you cannot win every game. sad for moon :/

Catz (56-87, 39%) vs Polt (41-37, 60%) Naama (89-86, ~50%) vs Ryung (15-3, 83%) Pomi (25-21, 54%) vs Alicia (5-4, 55%) Abver (16-21, 43%) vs Zenio (12-11, 52%) Bling (51-34, 60%) vs aLive (12-9, 57%)
Thanks for the info, but stats can be deceptive due to inconsistency between strength of competition and other factors, such as suggesting at Bling would be favored against aLive. Can't wait for the show.

delphi has some wierd allins in ZvZ. maybe he catches stephano off guard
but then again i guess the met on ladder multiple times so stephano should be aware of that

lol? Naama was ahead all game but having 5 tanks at his third ended up losing him the game. I don't understand why people shit on someone in 1 game of a bo3. Imagine how stupid you'd look if Naama wins this, it's just a completely useless comment.
Interesting 4th timing, before a bio-mech player, I'd imagine Naama will go for the gold now and take the mid. Ryung will have 3/3 though soon enough so he needs to get a hard contain up pretty soon >.>

Always been (although production have improved dramatically), just that the pay wall means almost no one saw it.
I wonder if these players have been all night preparing or if they just woke up and can barely think, because it doesn't feel like either naama or ryung are playing their best, or even close to it. Like QXC said, it's extremely early morning in Korea right now. I think Naama is still in Korean as well. Also, it appears that they are playing on the NA server, so I'm sure latency isn't perfect either. First game naama didn't seem to be able to control his units much at all.
GG grats ryung hope he'll play better in NASL though >.> really sloppy game from both players, it's a shame they couldn't play at a more agreeable time

Seems like it's live, we saw the pause in the first game and QXC made a reference to it being 5am in Korea.

Very late night is what I'm guessing. Which is pretty much as waking up early but a bit better
Hm. I like that QXC is showing his professionalism. Wearing his team shirt with sponsors logo. I remember in previous casts when they had CatZ commentating over skype he was all casual.

NASL have already done live commentating of games, and broadcasted those later, so maybe that is what happens here. I don't know though, weird that Naama and Ryung could not find a convenient time to play as they are both in Korea I assume.

Well too bad terrans don't get spinecrawlers and photon cannons.
In other news players really need to start putting missile turrets at their bases. After a certain point losing SCVs to burrowed infestors is unacceptable.
Yeah that was a real "cross your fingers" move there. It worked and killed a lot of SCVs, but like his game against Sheth a while back where he did the same thing he just fell apart afterwards. Bad economy, creep spread, unit control.
I have some criticism for Gretorp. I am unsure if you are casting the replays with timeline enabled, but if you are, please hide it from yourself. It may be coincidence, but I am noticing that when games are starting to rap up and will end soon, Gretorp very consistently will say that "oh, well this is over, GG soon" or something like that. If you do have the timeline hidden, then you have great game sense, but otherwise, it's very anticlimactic.
This is actually something I've noticed from a lot of people who cast from replays.
Edit: To clarify, I mean the little slider in the replay options box in the bottom right that shows the total time of the replay. There is a down arrow that allows you to hide this.

I think these games are cast live
Some are live, some are replays from 10-20 minutes ago. The second game of Catz vs Polt was a replay for example.
This was so sloppy from Puzzle. 44/44 supply block → 3 pylons that do not even reveal the edges of the base... And did he even scout that x6.Sleep had no third?
I know Puzzle is really good, but that was pretty poor play by Puzzle there. I guess given the time the game was played, maybe he needed more sleep? Congrats Puzzle!

I totally think Pomi is underrated like the whole RoxKis Roster. And EU PvP has always be at the top. But Alicia is a Code A Korean. That makes him easily favored imo. But of course Pomi has a decent shot.

i guess having 70% in eu gm is more impressive than passing the first round of Code A. But still its Pvp, so it could be anyone's game.
Ragequit? Then again, I cannot really blame him. He resoundingly beat Alicia then lost his qualifying spot to 2 4-gates. Congrats Alicia, and 3 Slayers players already in, with Ganzi waiting in the wings tommorrow.

The result proved that being in Code A means a lot more than having a good winrate on EU ladder lols.

Honestly tho, his loss on antiga really was bad on his part. Belshir is just 4 gate like taldarim tho....

Alicia hasn't been too impressive lately, I wonder how far he will get in NASL3.
All 4 players who qualified today should go pretty far. No offense, but the player quality in NASL dropped significantly when the Koreans pulled out, and even though Alicia played pretty poorly (Puzzle did pretty lackluster as well), I still think that they will beat most of their opponents.
Gretorp and Xeris HAVE to improve the casting. I'm sorry but please re-watch the broadcast and create a thread on TL so you guys can get better. Gotta analyze more and talk less about the shark. And btw, Ganzi was upgrading 2-1 when you said 2-2. So he didn't just cancel his 2 defense.

They have improved their casting in my opinion recently. Gretorp's casting used to be flat, even boring, but now I can actually enjoy it. It's not the best, but it has gotten better.
There's an audio sync issue. Everything is synced up on our side in the studio but for some reason there's a desync in audio and video on the stream. We've restarted the stream and contacted Twitch to try to resolve the issue. Sorry for any inconvenience.

True. Didn't see Delphi for a long time before NASL qualifier, and he really did good, nice games, nice player. gg
