I don't see how this dude is able to do this. He's played like 100 games in three days. Already the champion to me.

Can't say more.

Indeed, if anyone in America even thinks about complaining about time...

...anyway, I'm not tired at all anymore, I was screaming with joy upon seeing aLive salvaging that bunker and moving out, want Squirtle to take this soooo badly right now... and I think he just might, this gotta tilt aLive pretty hard, plus that he's only made his colossus push once yet, so he's bound to have a few more uses for it up his sleave

Guys I hope you realise it is 4 in the afternoon. I am the real victim here.

I don't understand the meme is the event bad. I didn't have a chance to see anything except the finals that are going on right now and it seems okay.

The quote is from the poster contest, where David Ting, manager of IPL, would eliminate contestants one-by-one by telling them to step back until one contestant remained, who won a free laptop.

Its the reason that some players think protoss is imba, I think it was supposed to be pressure, but Alive kind of rolled over to it, he salvaged the bunkers and one bunker isn't enough to hold a fairly well sized protoss army.

Plus he had a huge amount tied up in stuff that hadn't payed off yet. He had a reactored starport with 0 medis out and stim was still unfinished. If the push had hit with either of those investments paying off it would have looked different.

Bitterdam is a pretty sick duo but I gotta say.... D'Cats, CatsApollo, Apajamas, whatever they get named is just fucking amazing. They're getting the crowd (and us) into the games as much as the games themselves. Best casting duo behind Tastosis.

Keep up the good work! D'Cats!!!

Also note that Squirtle also had to practice/train for GSTL as one of ST's top players. So he basically had open bracket, pool play (in one of the hardest groups), GSTL Finals and then the championship bracket.

Not just so many big names, so many big names in their best Matchups.

Not to mention a ton of top terrans, which is historically Squirtle's weakest matchup by far.

Squirtle's run has been ridiculous this tournament...

2-0 demonlord
2-1 ToD
2-1 Byun
2-1 SaSe
2-0 AcE
2-0 Puma
1-2 Polt
2-1 MC
2-1 Creator
1-2 NesTea
2-0 Bomber
2-0 MarineKing
2-0 MMA
3-2 NesTea
3-2 aLive

This has got to be quoted even more than it already has, one of if not the single most impressive tournament run in SC2 to date methinks.

3 CC's, scouts get denied, his opponent hid everything except for 2 stalkers, salvaged his bunker at the worst possible time.

You are imagining things, there was no third cc.

I feel bad for Alive. This happens all the time.

GSL Code S last season was supposed to be the tournament he became a star, but then Genius owned him. Now he beats Polt, MKP, and Nestea, up 2-0 on Squirtle and one game away from winning $40,000, having a crowning achievement, and then Squirtle comes back, the whole crowd is against him, and he's on tilt.

Maybe he should dye his hair pink or something.

I don't know about dying his hair pink, didn't really help PuMa become better. But aLive does get dicked out of recognition or championships quite often.
