Indeed. Been a long time since I saw SeleCT and Kas play each other, should be a good game though.
Leaning towards SuperNova over Gumiho if their GSL performances are any indicator of current form.

Depending on when their games were played, i would give supernova an edge if they were very recently. Gumiho otherwise(Supernova had a bad couple of weeks >_>)

Very close matches. Hard to choose who will win.
I'll have to go with Kas and Supernova for this one. Select is not in a good shape lately, and so is Gumiho.
|
HYPE! Everyone should know about this, the LR is so hidden in SC2 Tourneys, tell your friends, elders, and siblings! Should both be close matches, but if the replays are <1month old I'll go with SeleCT and SuperNoVa, otherwise flipflop lol

Completely agree. If this was played recently Supernova should have it. A couple of weeks ago though he wasn't looking great and flying around tournaments. In which case Gumiho.

Have they played eachother? I guess at one of the IEM's then.

Supernova and idk... select?
|
wtf was that supposed to mean? Did Kas imply that Select was causing game to lag?
|
Kas should not mention lag issues as Select can abuse that fact (by going micro heavy harass)

Nah, he was just bringing up the fact that bnet was lagging a bit, it was really funky a week ago or so, a lot of my opponents complained and I got a few spikes. Sometimes it just hiccups, bad luck for Kas

I don't think you care about that when you're raging.
|
Kas seemed a bit dejected at the end. But dominating performance by Select and congrats to him.
|
Lost a lot of respect for Kas. Lag sucks obviously, but theres a professional way to go about it. Bitching about it constantly to your opponent is not the way.
|
Aw, it's a shame these games went the way they did.

True, it might have been better if he had handled it in another way, but from what I've seen of Kas in LAN appearances (IEM Kiev and Assembly), he seems like quite the jolly guy. I get the impression that if he was complaining, then it probably was very serious. Not excusing him as he could have dealt with it in another way perhaps, but I guess it can be frustrating when your income is compromised by a poor internet connection.

Good proxy marauder play by Supernova. A bit cheesy, but certainly effective.
|
wow. that was a great play by supernova to rush marauders against gumiho's tech build
|
That must be a frustrating loss for Gumiho, killing his opponent's economy utterly, and losing to the last ditch all-in attack.
|
Fun Game! [Game 3]
Not close, but fun play nonetheless
|
Ooh, getting some confidence back
|
Wow, I wonder if Gumiho can mount the complete comeback
|
United States15275 Posts
Oh, Supernova don't make me regret betting on you. Why do you do this to me? >_>
|
Gumiho wins, coming back from being down nil-two, the final game was an all in by Supernova that failed utterly.
gj fox/towel man!
|
Wow, what a comeback by Gumiho!
|
Lag sucks, but I can't feel sorry for Kas... that much. There was nothing in his games that made it apparent that he was constantly lagging, but if that was the case he could have at least asked for a pause - try something! - instead of complaining about every game. QQ Either way it was a win for SeleCT, congrats.
WOW. Great job by Gumiho, too!
