Both have six players. Which is indeed tiny; these two teams always amaze me with their solid performances and great line-up off of such a small roster.
YES, Demuslim casting TvTs! I'm sorry Artosis and dApollo, you guys are amazing, but I have never learned TvT from you guys. Finally, a true Terran pro casting the most complex matchup in the game.

If it's like last season they play all four matches (although last season the fourth match was a 2v2). So a 4-0 is possible with all bo3s being played. It gives the team more points in the standings than a 3-1.
Although this seems like it might be a waste of time, in season 5 Sixjax missed the playoffs by one point. So every match can be important.
4-0 or 3-1 Empire, anything else would be quite surprising. If coLMVP refuse to play the MVP side, they'll pay the price for it. You'd think they learned their lesson in the IPL events, but I guess not.
Full Complexity again? Does MVP still have no time for their partnership team matches or do they just want to focus on GSTL. Well anyway, 4-0 for Empire.
Mostly Complexity on this roster, I'm not sure they're gonna be able to do that well against an Empire team that's never looked stronger. Not without the Dong or the other MVP guys.
Lol imagine you are the team manager scheduled to play coLMvP next week. The lineup posting must be like the moment of truth. Sort of like when you get your final exam scores back.
You can either get Qxc, minigun, drewbie like today Or it could just as well be DongRaeGu, Genius, sC.
1200 minerals while you're attacking is probably the most efficient time for it, he needs to trade scvs at some point and he might as well do it while he's pressuring the opponent so he can control his movements

Beastyqt is winning.
Ya I could tell he was doing well based on other indications, but when I maximized the stream and it was in the middle of a fight, I was lost.
Oh yeah, but for me that's just as much because I have no idea what's going on when the sky is filled with viking shots. It's like, look, there's a bunch of explosions.
Well THAT was a really poor decision =/, would have worked in theory though >.> but his build is just so much more efficient he's not even behind in supply
edit: there will be no ninja islands taken against QXC, I hear he scans the island.
@ Orb & @ Sir Scoots You need to get a standalone mic rather than a headset like Orb had at his home setup. Orb keeps blowing out the mic on his headset. Or you could announce Steelseries sent you new kick ass headsets and just wear them turned off as headresses while hiding the microphone behind the green screen. er.... *ahem* ... I meant some totally not shady solution of course.
P.S. Good shows so far. P.P.S. Nice pick up bringing Orb onto the team.
Orb is one of my favorite casters, and I'm loving having EG team members as his co-caster. Hope that's how you guys do it for the whole season, it's very cool and makes it feel very much so the EG league, instead of just another tournament. For the love of god, though, please fix the issues with the stream stuttering/cutting out at lower qualities. The clipping at 240p is still unbearable. =(

I've found that sometimes, the stream doesn't work on low quality but works perfectly on high quality(right now it's working perfectly for me on the highest)

yea i was having way more toruble on 360p then 720
so much tvt with good tvters, will take alot of notes. I like bo3 teamleagues way more then this allkill format. Only thing missing to be perfect is the 2v2, but i guess many wouldn't want a 2v2.
Man idk why this is getting so few viewers. IPL teamleague normally gets 10k or so and I feel this league has a better format, just as good teams, and arguably better casters imo.

Word. And I dont even like EG.
CPJ and Doa are actually surprisingly entertaining. That said, so far I definitely like EGMC better(although I don't like EG either).

I would heavily disagree. I don't think QXC is a level above Minigun or Drewbie, they're all solid players.

Yeah the 4 DT drop is so deadly. Even if you have a spore and 2-3 spines 4 dts is enough to take out the spore and still cause you to pull your army. I really think the best idea is to just keep an overseer at each base with 3 or so spines.
I really like this split-screen stuff. I think it'd be great when they get a hang of it. However, I think horizontal split would be much, much better than vertical split. You don't really get to see so much with a vertical split.

I dont know what it is about IPL but it leaves me bored most of the time. The games so far from the EGMC have been amazing so definitely deserves more viewers.
that ending was odd...minigun suddenly had no army to deal with violet's ling/bane....all he had was just enough to deal with muta w/o storm just QQ ending

Demuslim worked for ESL with Rotterdam for a while so it's not his first time commentating.
