Apparently some people are dumb enough to STILL be asking for it, so let's make things clear:
Do NOT ask for re-streams, and do NOT post re-streams.
Do not come here and muddle the thread by bitching about PPV. |

Not sure if its possible with another method. It was mentioned on state of the game that no tournaments have banned the mousewheel trick. so while not " cheating " in a sense that the tournament could punish him, It's still a point of debate in the community I guess. Yeah that's what I meant. I'm not even sure myself if I consider it a cheat or not (intuitively I'd say not I guess). personally i find it is abusable where it can give certain players the advantage and would force nerfs where they normally wouldn't be (like if ghosts could shoot so fast that it would force a snipe nerf) for players not abusing it would be unwarranted.

its not that black and white but it seems that to be 90% true after watching some of teh ZvPs You're a bit behind. Zerg deathball owns all unless toss is lucky with a vortex on unspread broods. But yea toss is built around FF mechanic till about 15 min. Hit them and split them you win, don't you lose. What used to be in BW powerful and expensive units are just expensive these days and protoss can't survive losing them to any degree and FF is the equalizer.

This, if you shift move the Infestors and spam a bunch of Infested Terrans, they all come out at the same time when the Infestors stop moving.

Great play by Naniwa, but too bad those two stalkers on the left walked up the ramp into all those spines and died

Really Impressed by Naniwa`s play today, hes always been solid, but man today he really shined especially those cluth forcefields. No shame on going out of the tournament at that place.

Aww, poor Leenock, lol. He does a double take as to where those ff's came from.

I'm reposting this question because it got buried unanswered, and I have no where else to ask TT What games from Day 2 should I watch? I have an arena pass, but I was traveling all day. Would like to watch some good games before I go to bed.
Thanks! :D
Edit: Day 2 not Game 2. Oops.

Excited to see Huk's play tomorrow. I see Marineking winning the tournament however.

The best players identify when to do this. Yeah, except for the fact that its a 6 pool so they dont actually know through scouting information, they cheese and hope for a build order win. Hope you understand now.. You can say the exact samething the other way around too: Naniwa takes the risk to Nexus first (even before forge) without scouting so they dont actually know through scouting information, they eco-cheese and hope to gain a build order advantage. Hope you understand now.. Yes, a slightly earlier nexus before forge is on the same level as a 6 pool. Christ all mighty, there is nothing more I can say.. your comment speaks for itself. Both sides are taking a risk without scouting; in that if opponent went for one (or few) of the BO, they can lose immediately. So yes, it's the same thing.

my #2 has to be when Tasteless said "I wonder if we're going to see a hatchery this game" in the Leenock/Naniwa G2 pre-game. Almost died.

Other than Naniwa vs Zerg, my favorite game was MC vs Parting game 2, but I'd love to see more macro games tomorrow. (Game two is neat, exciting and fun... But it's also very short).

I think DRG is the best player left but I doubt he'll win. He's on his last life so to speak, and with extended series he starts out down 1-2 against PartinG.
