It's a shame the EWM and the KSL have so little viewers/posters on their threads, the leagues are so awesome. With very high lvl play.
|
Tuned in and saw + Show Spoiler +Hack nuking a Protoss army.
What a nice beginning.
|
Awesome nuke by hack, went from a losing position of that battle, into a massive lead

Agreed. I think KSL and EWM tend to have better equally-entertaining games as GSL, yet it seems like very few people take these leagues as seriously. 
We need a Drazerk to LR these

wow. code B is stacked. hard.
who is this rianboxer fella?

As crazy as it sounds, KSL is more inconvenient for me than GSL even in EST because I dont have class at 4 am when GSL starts >.> I have school during KSL and parts of EWM. Otherwise I would watch them all <3

Lol choya immortal cheese ...
|
Uh oh. It's TREME. Prepare to be slaughtered, person who is playing against him.

I do battle reports for these occasionally but I can't really LR these as the threads literally never move

I'm impressed how good the games have been so far. Pretty much all of them were quite back-and-forth and/or included exciting strategies.

post 100 ^_^
Kaelaris's casting has been awesome, glad to see Sase play, I haven't seen him in quite a while save for a couple appearances for Quantic... wish he would cast more!
Can't wait to see Jinro advance... from what he said on stream he sounded happy, so I'm hoping that means he did well!

what a beatdown on antiga. treme just several levels above
|
Well, that was a relatively simple win for Losira once the 2 stargates were scouted.
|
Kaelaris: You got a great caster voice! Hope your wish of casting Code B will come true.
|
Kaelaris has the Robin Hood look.
Glad to see jooKto playing. We don't get to see enough from oGs zergs.

That's not really a goood sign considering what we're used to see about JookTo (with all my respect to him, he is really good but not for progamer standards)

Ouch, Jookto giving his opponent no chance.

JookTo always plays better online than he does in the GSL.
I'm not worried about MoOk, he practices hard, and performs very well.

I think i only saw one of MoOk games before so I won't judge him
Dream seems just superior than Chaser here, 2/2 vs 1/1 will be a pain for a minute.
ok epic siege fail strikes again .

Huh. Jjun goes CC first and gets proxy'd. Karma ^^
|
Foreigner wins with proxy gate!
Edit: Can't say too much from just 2 games, but this guy seems like a very cheesy 1 base player.

Wow what a wonderful tournament! Something for all those Code B/A players to do between GSL matches/qualifiers. any chance GOMTV might broadcast the finals?

I believe the plan is to have the final LAN event at the GOM Studio.

"Screw the metagame and expanding...I'm Arthur and I beat Koreans!" Is it bad that I picture Arthur as Russell Brand playing/trolling?
|
Yay, Jinro.
KSL and EWM, the new hipster tournaments.
|
Great play by Jinro in Game 1.
