Fnatic presents the second StarCraft 2 tournament powered by RaidCall. Featuring $1,500 in prize-pool as well as hardware from MSI and EIZO.
The first RaidCall Invitational StarCraft 2 tournament took place in the beginning of March and had sixteen of Europe's finest players in attendance. With the prize pool reaching $1500, and with players such as ToD, SjoW, TitaN and Grubby signed-up, the tournament was expected to have a fantastic outcome - and the expectations were met. The Russian player from Team RoxKIS, TitaN managed to finish on top of the podium, taking home a total of $1,000.
RaidCall Invitational #2 will feature an all-Korean roster, with some of Korea's finest players in attendance.
ToD will not be playing due to organising and administration of the competition.

The tournament will be played in a single elimination mode and the player who finishes on top will receive $1200 in cash. March 18 will feature games up until quater-finals, with 8 remaining players. Games will resume on 19th at an offline final in the brand new Fnatic Gaming house which will be officialy launched on stream.
Prize Fund
1st - $1,200
2nd - $300 + EIZO Monitor
3rd - MSI Z68A-G45 (G3) & MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II OC V2
The RaidCall Invitational #2 will take place between 18th-19th March. Will Leenock repeat his MLG Providence-success? Will Moon get some revenge from Assembly Winter? Will Oz be able to once again impress the audience as he did at the MLG Winter Arena 2012 tournament? A lot of questions will be answered soon. One thing is for certain even today. It will be an interesting tournament to follow, not only because of the strong field of players, but also because Khaldor will be streaming the whole tournament.
All additional details will be added to this post and via the Fnatic site.

Wow, amazing players lined up! Way to go fnatic =D
Gonna be rootin for Gumiho but honestly I like so many of these players I probably won't be too dissapointed XD
|
|
|
A nice roster, Khaldor as the caster and a gaming house being launched? That's almost too awesome!
Also: CoCa to win it all, with HerO taking second place!
|
Sick lineup all of young players that will probably be the top of SC2 at one point.
|
really cool lineup. and hopefully tod is gonna cast! 
|
You sure have good taste in players.

I second this! I remember watching a few Khaldor and Tod casts in the GOM house and I really enjoyed it =)
|
9 CODE S players! holy SHIT. this should be amazing- i also cannot wait for the fnatic team house reveal!! excited@!!
|
|
|
Very cool lineup! Can't wait to see how well CoCa plays after that little match fixing case.
|
ToD and I will definitely try to cast some of the games together. I will set up the whole stream and we will also try to do some interviews with the players while the tournament is going on
|
Moooooooooooon ^_^
So good Korean choices - taking top tiers without taking the people who risk just dominating everyone (MMA, Mvp, DRG, MC), very well done! Will be a must watch for me.

Damn this invitational has a pretty stacked lineup. 8+ code S players with a few statuses pending O_O plus some people that are definitely top tier level that just arent in code s right now. Holy shit. Good thing I have to work during spring break so I'll have nothing better to do (I guess that's a plus?)
|
Sick protoss lineup! almost all my fav toss at there...
|
I hope to see Coca stay in the group with Creator or HerO, that would be very interesting to watch
|
Holy lineup! Will definitely be tuning in to see my four favourite players :D
|
Coca! Good to see him back!
|
Can't wait to finally watch some Coca games again.
|
Hell Yeah! First broadcasted tourney for Coca since he's come back.

MLG is just around the corner, so although we would have liked to get a wide variety, lots of players wanted to focus on MLG, which is understandable.
|
sad for tod 
but still great event
|
Thanks for setting up such a great event, looking forward to seeing Hero and sage play in particular, will defiantly tune in and watch it all.
|
Looks like a sick event. Gaming house opening brings the hype.
|
That is one sick player lineup o_o looking good!

Excellent! This tournament just keeps getting better and better =)
Really looking forward to the house introduction too.
Is this the first "foreign" team house in Korea?
|
Very nice lineup! And some Coca, finally!
I'm looking forward to it.
|
Coca's back ! Let's see his training pay off
|
rly hope another zerg pull something off, I must say Rooting for the Terran and Protoss SlaYeRs CoCa
|
Looking forward to this, Moon and CoCa figthing!
|
Yet another invitational? Not really a fon of it
|

|
nice to see Moon and the fnatic house woooho
|
Just saw the picture in op (totally ignored it the first time i read the OP), made me so excited :D

Would be awesome if you could cast some with Khaldor. Remember you casting of the MSI Cup a long with Rotterdam, it was awesome!

This tournament is so stacked! Going to be great! :D Can't wait for the games to start!

I'm assuming ToD has to solo cast until Khaldor runs home right?
edit: Nvm forgot Khaldor was setting up his own stream.

I'm assuming this is delayed while Khaldor runs from the Gom studio back home?

Based on Khaldor site. Its in 1h16 minutes
|
Khaldor the casting machine!

That's German efficiency for ya.

Rain with 4 SCVs queued on his only command center. x_x

rain just got wrecked by lucky >.>
|
Wait a second... KSL is in 5 hours. Is Khaldor casting that as well?
|
From watching NASTL today, Lucky seems to play macro base into quick upgrades into infestors every ZvT.

seemed like a pretty easy 2-0 for lucky

Khaldor turn down the music we can't hear you :O
edit: Sad face I posted this right after he exited TL </3
|
Its not that your are not loud enough but it seems like the others sound like music / ingame etc is to loud. nice games nice cast anyway.
|
it's 11 am on sunday in germany - why should i be talkative :D just trying to keep my eyes open :D
|
Khaldor really is the most efficient casting machine!
|
Khaldor, it seems as if you're pretty busy lately. Nevertheless couldn't you someday arrange sth like an aftershow FFA oder Monobattle ? Would be really nice.
|
|
|
|
|
Gah, KPOP makes my ears bleed. Please, no more.
|
almost as good as ST_Legend's kpop list, cant wait for game 2
|
Marathoning through all saturday night with GSTL, this tournament and KSL next. 7:14 in the morning.
Gonna feel like a raccoon, now.
|
Khaldor is 30? Man, I am 27 and I look ten years older than him.
/manenvy
|
Sorry but getting a bit hard to hear what you're saying with the music level atm 
|
khaldor. have suggestion for your music collection (based on ad/game break hip-hop/the xx music choices), in case you've not already heard it:
http://soundcloud.com/wait-what/sets/the-notorious-xx
the record labels made him take his direct download links down but i'm sure you can find it if you try hard 
|
No NSHS guys
|
ToD having such a hard time
|
ToD... The worst tournament admin ever ^^
|
Understandable that they wouldn't want to play because they had a gstl match, but why would they enter and say they are available for the tournament. Poor form :/

A nice roster, but Khaldor as the caster? I'll probably watch it on mute... He haunts me at GSL, and follows me here T_T lol.
Nice tournament though, wouldn't want to miss it ^_^

now I want bulgogi... >< I can't make anything to eat for another hour or so. I feel like Khaldor when they bring in pizza to the GOM studio during a cast.

Oh no! Maru dropped
nvm he said he meant to gg anyways
|
Feel like Leenock would've won, sniped a drop and his counterattack did so much dmg :/
|
And Leenock scouts the proxy 2 rax! Leenock hold please :O
|
Lol why not call down supply for a few more marines.

I was wondering that too. When I saw the scvs being pulled I figured that was what he was going for

Every time I see that kind of aggression I hear artosis in my head yelling "BIT BY BIT"
|
|
|
Hey guys, anyone know the schedule to this? I'm a huge hero fanboy I would love to watch his games.
|
Well, obviously maru threw that second game -_-
|
Can't wait to see HerO play :D
|
what languages do you speak
edit: damn badass
|
HAHAHAHA, I love how well you shut down those who diss you. HAHAHA
|
Khaldor how much SC2 do you play yourself/how good are you?
|
You're the hardest-working caster in the business right now. If you're casting KSL tonight that is crazy. Do you sleep?
|
Will this tournament also finish today or will final games be on an other day?
|
thought tod could speak Korean
|
nice ToD with the save
edit:
really looking forward to some CoCa play, his return in the GSTL was a treat and his game was very entertaining

CoCa should of used the queens to block the ramp ... I'm surprised CoCa didn't notice the sound difference of there being only one marine in the bunker (maybe I'm wrong on this) or perhaps was afraid of getting hit with a marauder with concussive and just wanted to make Noblesse feel like he has to stay in his base.
edit:
I know TLO used the overlord creep spread to have a forward creep tumor and aggressively push against his opponent, but I'm not sure if it was his idea / did it first in a casted match / popularized it... it is TLO though, I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
edit 2:
CoCa goes hive just to immediately tech to an auto loss and not broodlords.
|
coca is so dead. A maxed out terran just sends 15 supply 3/3 bio to kill zergs hatches and this is almost unstopable. Even if it takes 2 or 3 attempts to kill one hatch, it is totally worth it for the terran.
|
Noblesse playing ridiculously, saw him dropping 3 places at once several times.
|
Very impressive display by Noblesse. It's almost like he has a separate monitor for every contingent of his units, he's so aware of each drop he does.
|
gg, great play and multi-tasking by nobelesse
CoCa shouldn't of teched to Ultralisk and let that sensor tower remain in the middle of the map until the final engagement.
|
nice games
which players are protoss player ??
|
Noblesse impressing me greatly today, haven't seen much of him recently but will definitely keep an eye out for him in the GSL.
|
oh no CoCa, way too much hesitation ... you can't be indecisive with such an attack! Noblesse really making use of those sensor towers.
|
Really coca? Really? Should've just baneling bombed both mineral lines, wouldn't have been obvious either and could've actually done a lot of damage...
|
Coca is a good guy. He is trying hard to make us feel less bad for missing him from the scene for so long. Thanks, but now go get 'em son.

Hey Khaldor, in case you read this, can you please turn up the volume of Tod and maybe of yourself also a bit? You're both pretty quiet compared to the game sounds, especially Tod.

turning down the sound effects would solve the problem, their volume is good ... x.x I don't want my ears to bleed, there's already some moments when they aren't in game when they are too loud.

I had to turn up my speakers a lot because it's so quiet overall o_O

aLive was clearly not prepared for this push and was on the back foot the entire game ... I feel like CranK actually could of punished aLive earlier by staying and harassing earlier with his collossus. It'll be interesting to see how CranK continues to perform in the rest of this series and in future events considering the impressive line up of terrans SlayerS has.

really? My stream is ~40% volume and my system is at max, I can hear them perfectly (although ToD is a little quite but I think that might be the positioning of his mic). I'd rather them be too quite and be able to turn them up then have to turn them down.

Absolutely - great tourney so far
Also alive made crank look like gold league on Daybreak now - insane!

Why gg out crank? :ddd
Just killed 15 SCVs, pull back and defend terran desperate all-in and win. :ddddd

Please add the Liquipedia link - I know it's there - I've seen the site but it's pain to look for it every single time I turn on the Chrome. TY

He was 25 supply behind, maybe there was a drop in the main that was missed or he didnt make a lot of probes to begin with. Either way he was pretty behind.
offtopic: khaldor's twitter mentions are hilarious.
|
lol the drop with the pdd is pretty sexy, maybe terran will try to use it more?
|
ah could anyone pls tell khaldor to turn down ingamesound? would like to hear tod while sth is going on
|
WoW Creator, his PvT macro game's defense so strong.
|
Damn Gumiho is playing like he does in the GSL holy crap it's so good
|
Gumiho style does not work so well if the opponent is "just" on 3 bases.

A few minutes ago i had to turn the stream quality down to 480p because i was downloading something and now when i want to turn it back up it tells me i need a KSL premium subscription. Wtf is this? Can anyone help? I'm pretty sure that's a bug right?

Should fix it.

I don't think Fnatic want this tournament to require KSL monthly subscription for HD.
Refreshing won't fix it though, because it's on the streaming side. Rather, the stream needs to fix it. On the bright side, 480p is almost perfect, everything is readable, so it's not a very big deal.

Solid series. Enjoying the tournament overall.. player caliber is H I G H !
|
bottom half of bracket could end up all protoss, creator seed oz hero o.o
|
is it just me or is own3d terrible? everytime an ad plays it goes out of full screen. using opera 11.61, windows 7.
|
It'd fixed now, Khaldor. Cheers
|
It's okay now, thanks! HD for free
Go Mooooon!
|
Khaldor man, you are a seriously dedicated caster! I've been watching you almost all day from GSTL to Fnatic RC Invitational and seen so many great games and great casting keeping me entertained all Sunday! Too bad I have work tomorrow and I have to go to bed now. I wish I can stay up and continue watching your casts but since I can't I guess I'll watch your casts again tomorrow then. Thank you very much for the non-stop entertainment and please continue to entertain us! You are a super casting machine!

It was good when Zergs only had 2 queens and took slow evo. But he just went ovie hunting and let Moon gather up 4 queens and an evo so he did fuck all damage with it and was hella behind.

A little too many corrupters... Or he has to go for a really fast greater spire, but he doesn't even have an infestation pit a this point.

Yeah his decision making is not there yet, you can see the potential and macro skill but he has got still some work to do.

I don't understand Seed's build at all.

lool DPM - drones per minute :D

Well done by Moon. Get advantage, throw it away ... better not use drop and speed.
edit: Those engagements were so horrible. Moon seems to still be behind in the metagame and not willing to use Infestors.

Moon is just rubbing gently the protoss shields, retreating, rubbing them again... that's not how you kill them, Moon.

Seriously moon? Why no greater spire or ultras or infestors? What in the world
|
oh comeon. missed game 1 where moon won and then got to see him losing again. -_-
|
infestors ? greater spire ? WTF. this is so frustrating.... he is missing only late game decision making it seems :/

Moon just doesn't have the proper gamesense it seems. Makes really strange decisions, attacks at the wrong time, makes the wrong unit transitions...

has Moon won a set since he is fnatic...

very strange army composition.....

Hi, the games should start today around 11am KST (in about 2hours) if Khaldor gets here early enough, we will have Oz vs Ryung, then HerO vs BbongBbong, and at 1pm we start the quarter finals with aLive vs Leenock first.

Oh shit I didnt realize that this was starting way earlier today. Come on Bboongboong or Hero. I like you both

This tournament needs more attention. Too bad the prize pool is kinda small for the standard of players in it.

That game was sooooo nice to watch. Hate playing vs Mutas like that, but HerO showed some very nice decision making coupled with out-microing B4. Happy happy happy.

Hey, can anyone tell me the results of HerO vs BBBB? I had to leave a bit after the first game and missed the result. Liquipedia isn't updated yet and I don't see a bracket link in the OP.

HerO won 2-0. Missed the first game due to the NASTL finals, but the second game he won on Antiga holding his three base vs mass Muta/Ling with Stalker/Sentry into Storm, taking down B4's fourth while harassing third with Prism and just playing super solid.

Thanks, and I don't unfortunately. No bracket to be found
Edit: And thanks to Porcelina as well.
Edit2: Found a bracket. http://www.fnatic.com/news/9617/raidcall-sc2-invitational-2-day-2-is-live.html
Oz won 2-0. So yet another HerO vs Oz match setup lol.

Nah, he's been team league-ing it up quite a bit. It's just hard to constantly be at the level of winning the world's hardest SC2 tournament, y'know.

Pardon my ignorance but why do people call Bumblebee B4? I only count 3 Bs in his nick? o.O

it's a risk he had to take because he only had 2 sentries and would not be able to forcefield the ramp forever

Oz actively took on more risks in all the games than HerO did.
He did a faster DT expand than HerO did in game 1, although HerO could have won the game if he managed the base trade better. Oz did a risky heavy sentry expand that HerO punished with blink stalkers in game 2. And in game 3, Oz took more risk by getting an early twilight council while HerO was "punished" for being safe against early pressure (4 gate).

Yeah those were the riskiest set of pvp I have ever seen. Only the first game was decided by decision making, with the next two being complete build order wins.

Two matches 2-1 can't say anything about who's the best PvPer.
Khaldor was talking about healthy foods the other day, look what sacrifices he makes for esports.

They are saying Oz is the best PvPer because if you look since Oz's entrance to the GSL in October 2011 he's gone 15-3 with only loss being bo1 or part of a series. He hasn't dropped a bo3+ in korea since then and has wins over Sage (3-1), Jyp, InCa (2-1), and Puzzle to name a few. Hero is definitely a very good PvPer though to be constantly competitive with Oz
Hooray!!! Leenock casting!! This is awesome

I didn't think I could love Leenock any more, but now I know I was wrong.

*Noblesse replaced Jjakji.[1]
**Crank replaced Sage.[2]
***BBoongBBoong replaced Terious.[3]

ah thanks!
I probably should have looked there first to begin with, that's a lot of replacements for one tournament, OP should probably be updated lol

it's funny but nothing worthwhile if your into learning. I found the stream a bit boring for my tastes, maybe I'm being pessimistic but there was a portions of just silence with no commentary and random questions that have nothing to do with the game answered in broken english. Maybe I just caught in on the stream at a bad time

Leenock is pretty good at commentating.
better than MC tbh
This is the new fnatic team house right?
looks promising.

Might be because Leenock is probably more used to speaking english since FXOBoSs has been to their team house sometimes. And I think Leenock is more willing to try and learn. Leenock, MC, DRG, Violet (he' s rly good), to name a few really tries to improve their english. Leenock has even stated that he wants to do interviews without a translator in the future.

Violet lives in Texas so I would hope his english would get better. Marineking's english wasn't bad either when he casted wtih mc at hsc4. Polt's is good, too.

I'm not concerned about the level of English from Leenock or Creator, I just think Wolf should lower his vocabulary so Creator feels comfortable and understands when he is casting with Creator and other koreans with little English.

Some koreans who have went to foreign tournements seems to figure out the importance of having basic english. It really helps getting fans in the foreign community

What's really amusing is how Creator calls everything by its Brood War equivalent name: Dragoon, Citadel of Adun, Shuttle...

Yea, I know Violet lives in Texas. And to be fair I said "to name a few". But overall, most Koreans english are not so good. Think the ones who have travelled a lot has been forced to talk english have realized we are really patient(in lack for a better word) with their english and just appreciate their effort. We try our best to make them understand us and vice versa. And if Koreans pros has been talking to Foreign pros at events I think the Koreans learn the Foreign terms. Know Catz wrote in his blog about how Leenock tried to explain the units by using sounds and hand motions. But once he have learned it once he can talk about the unit enough for a period he would probably remember the word.

Alive winning with the imba helion marauder push

Lol at the colossus sound

this is great It's hilarious. But I still think that it's a bit sadistic to ask people to cast in a language they don't really speak. Come on, we're not laughing at him, we're laughing with him. That's not my point. It's just that it's unpleasing for them, whatever the spectators' reaction.
I think if it was 'unpleasing' for them they wouldnt do it.

Leenock looks like he's having a lot of fun.
Edit : Rofl "that's it I'm out very imba terran"

Ask him:
Colossus or Hellion - more imba?
aLive: marauder trash
Leenock: he bm, I'm out

I agree, but Creator didn't.
Even MC and MKP at HSC were saying very little beyond "imba", I don't think that's an enjoyable situation to be in. But hey, if they offer themselves volunteer, I certainly don't know better.

Like he said he's very good at it but it's a very hard matchup to play, lots of multitasking and micro. Fungal and banelings can wipe out your army in seconds if you're not looking, same for zerg, get caught by a siege volley or miss a drop coming in and you can lose very, very fast.
Which is what makes it so entertaining to watch!
|
Hope Leenock choses to cast more, but with an English caster. Double korean was too much I'd say, But Leenock is so funny and Khaldor makes him feel comfortable
|
Announcement of Fnatic announcement just now.
|
I just tuned in when Leenock gave that hilarious interview - but I gotta hand it to Fnatic, really cute PR move - combining the RC invitational with the presentation of the team house, pretty much all the GSL casters are there etc. Good stuff.
|
The new teamhouse seems awesome :D
|
new korean fnatic sc2 player soon from starcraft 1
|
Any idea who is the SC1 Pro joining Fnatic?
|
woot ? Did I just hear fnatic guy saying they are recruiting an old SC1 player ? In_Dove maybe ? :p
I'd have thought taeja or ganzi but it didn't sound like it.
|
Sam dropping the bomb, they want to expand and acquire a guy we already know, a sc1 player. oO

I don't think he said he was Korean. Maybe I missed it. (Maybe likely though)

Yeah, pretty smart move. This is turning out pretty alright, given the slow start yesterday with ToD scrambling to find players. He was looking hella run down but it seems like today's going a lot more smoothly.

I'd piss my pants if they made HiyA come back, but my money is on In_Dove.

Anyone using RaidCall here? I'm intrigued to try it, how is it if you compare it to other programs like Ventrilo/Teamspeak and Skype?

Sweeeet, Artosis is HERE!

Anyone else's stream dead?

Good design and feature, free access to featured channel, radio and etc.

stream is back up, Artosis turned into a Wolf though it seems !

Fuck I totally forgot about this show >.<

gosh such a small but insanely crucial mistake - not walling off correctly by Oz ^_^, on Antiga

Same, tried lowering the quality but it's even worse now for some reason.

i'll be scared of khaldor if i was the guy that put the cable up there.

it's still really choppy. i guess it didnt work
|
ahh that's why alive is confident vs P? BITBYBIT
|
Obviously it lagged for alive as well, so he went for a rather a-click tactic to own on daybreak
|
It's probably not the computer there - if there was a problem with it, they would see the lag themselves while observing.
It's probably something with own3D, because when it happens and you refresh the stream it gets better for a while.

Not sure, I tried MKP stream now and it runs rather flawlessly in comparison. Sad indeed since they put so much work and effort into this ;-/

feels like the lag is only when they are ingame. just a few minutes ago when the game wasn't open it didn't lag, now they opened it and it begun again.

Can't decide how much I like this Fnatic guy or not.
They're putting together a decent team and I do <3 Khaldor so go go Fnatic Raid Call Invitational.

Yeah, sure it can. That´s the problem with the vehicle of e-sports. Can be a whole lot of stuff unfortunately :-/
|
This is becoming almost unwatchable now, experiencing random black screens and huge gaps of silence.
|
yeah, it got much worse, now refreshing doesn't help anymore. strange
if it gets better now out of game, then i was probably wrong to suggest own3D
|
unwatchable, sorry guys turned off.
|
This is so unfortunate really. =(
|
Oh well, at least the audio is alright. I should be working anyways. :-)
|
Wow, aLive made mistake trading entire army for probes... Can't do that when there is 2 colossi on the field
|
Mules imba... Can't believe aLive came back from that...
|
Loses 30 workers to nothing in the beginning of the game. Still alive and kicking. What a boss.

Well...
- Tech advantage definitely fell for alive, so he had the chance to counter pressure
- Seed only started his nexus after his attack failed and was only 17 probes ahead
- Mules are essentially +4 SCVs each, meaning the effective SCV count was 18, meaning seed was only 9 ahead
- Dual orbital means after 5 SCV production cycles he is even with Seed (effectively 28 workers after mules)
The attack didn't do enough damage, sadly.
|
Wow, the second place prize is almost as good as the first prize. Congrats to aLive and Seed!
|
Can someone link the VoD to me?

Did Artosis ever cast a game? Can't find it on Khaldor's stream...

No, I think he was going to, but then the stream crashed for like 10min and he finally didn't

He casted the first game of Oz vs Lucky, but the stream crashed (and they were unaware of it), so we only saw him casting the tail end of the cast.

I think he was referring to  ByuL who played for Samsung last season (10-11 season) and did quite well with a 4-1 record. He is the guy in the bottom right of this pic.
