A week ago I'd say eclypsia unless nerchio went on a rampage but now it should heavily go in acer's favour, perhaps we'll see an awesome finnish PvP duel that welmu may come out on top or dayishi and sarens can take a map if they're on good form but unless there's a small miracle they won't have an answer for nerchio.
Acer 5-2
|
Does Mondragon still play sc2?
|
Acer wins for sure - just a question of whos beginning for them,like: Nerchio Starts -> 5:0 , Nerchio Plays Second -> 5:1 (and so on)
btw - i guess a lot of ZvZs incoming
|
Just a bit too early for me but ill surely try to tune in!
|
Acher would have won before the split. Now it'll be a landslide. Now that a eclypsia has no players im interested in supporting I can say whole heartedly that ill enjoy seing them get rolled like the morning sushi.
|
I predict easy 5-0 to Eclypsia

looks like Acer has this with Scarlett, artist and slog leaving. Hoping Welmu and Sarens put up a good fight.

Acer should definitely win. Dayshi and Welmu are very good though and could surprise a lot of people, possibly even able to take the win if they can take out Bly and Nerchio.
|
Yeah after the split, I would give Acer the win here now.
|
|
|
Acer will take it, I predict at least a 4-1 the most.
|
acer should win this quite easily, but I think dayshi might pick a game or two

Did ipl explain how they decided to give byes to some teams over others or is it just random? I must have missed that part..

That's not true. Top 8 from last season included Liquid, Empire, and TSL, none of which had a bye. Teams not in the top 8 with byes are IM (won TAC 1 as QIM), Mouz (2nd in TAC 1, terrible in TAC 2), and Startale (tied 5th TAC 2 with Liquid). IM and Mouz make sense, ST over Liquid I don't get as much.
edit: wait a second, I'm wrong, gimme a sec. It's definitely not top 8 of last season though.
edit2: Ok, it was supposed to be top 4 from past two. IM took it for QIM and MVP took it for col-MVP from season 1. I guess Startale (5th from TAC 2) got oGs's spot (3rd), not sure why them over Liquid though.
edit3: didn't realize, but oGs is still in this tourny, thought they have been removed since they disbanded. I have no clue why Startale got the bye over them.
|
Yeah Eclypsia loses now unless Welmu can all kill.
|
IPL TAC 2
TAC 2 top 8: Prime, HoSeo, oGs, FXO, StarTale, Teamliquid, TSL and Empire.
TAC 3 byes: Mouz, Slayers, MVP, IM, StarTale, FXO, HoSeo and Prime.
Hmm..

Thanks, it makes a bit more sense now!

Oh wait, what. I didn't realize oGs was still in the team pool. Ok, I have no idea why Startale has a bye and oGs doesn't.

I think Eeel actually could've won that if he had been able to make his extractors. Zealots are so slow

It looks like oGs will be giving a bye anyways.
Edit: but your point, they probably choose ST because of their second place finish in he GSTL

Ah, yes, good point, that probably had to do with it, although FXO (4th) has a seed, so you would expect them to relinquish the bye to ST rather than oGs (3rd). Meh, works out I guess considering they disbanded.

Alternate Type performed the best across all four qualifiers (actually exactly the same as Dream Team Gaming as far as record, but dtG owns the tie-breaker over them) and will be replacing oGs.

Holy crap! Actual news, thanks so much. I've been curious about the next step for oGs in this tournament.
And even though aTn is partnered with the whole Type squad did they use anyone but Real and Phoenix in the qualifiers?

Is there anyone else on type worth using?

I have to say Saren's nukes have been the real star of this game.

sarens deserves this one.

They have occasionally used DBS, but I don't think he is quite as good as Real or Phoenix.

He just suicide whole army in a sandwich in Elfi's base T_T
|
aaaaaaaaaaaa. big mistake going for the kill instead of the fourth base... zzz.
and that PF is his last mining base.
|
That game...that game...damn...
|
he was also really marine heavy so if he's out of position just once his army just fries
|
Elfi games are just weird as shit, lol.

SarenS had this game so bad

Depends on the matchup. aTn is a little zerg heavy (in that half of their four man team is Z) and, in all honesty, I'm intrigued to see their Japanese players play, that is a scene I haven't seen much of.

Sarens didnt listen to Sir David, kill protoss early or you die.

Thats PvT for you. He didn't do enough damage in the midgame, and was only up a few bases and 50 suply. Gotta get your midgame damage right I tell you!

I'm curious about their japanese players too, but in a high profile team league I can't imagine any of them getting sent out over atn/pheonix/real

Fair enough but they'll be up against DtG (who they are tied with in standings) in their first game and maybe give one of those players a chance. I can only help.

With two zealots why even chase that
|
Thank god he prevented the all kill, not a chance EC will win but I feel bad during roflstomps.
|
all kill prevented, but I think it is already too late. Nerchio still waits in reserve

The BW fanboi in me is so happy to see Paranoid play :D! gogo Rafa!

Not hating or anything, but Doa cmon... you mix up the playernames A LOT.
You should try to work on that, u allready did it like 5-10 times this cast.

Welmu is very good. What a nice game.
|
Lol Welmu did a hard blind counter to Stephano roaches, Paranoid goes mass ling with bane drops. Gets obliterated. Dafuq??

His engagement was terrible, losing more than half his lings before a single baneling was dropped.

Yeh pretty much, but even with a perfect engagement he was never gonna win that.
Way too few banelings to actually kill stuff and mass stalker immortal is really good even vs a ton of zerglings aslong as u have enough ff's and upgrades.

Damn, Welmu making this into a real match.

Things are getting interresting. I hope we'll see Nerchio

Finnish protosses... (-_-)

Shit, Welmu got really good. Didn't think he could take out Bly, and it looks like he gets a chance at Nerchio too.
|
|
|
I can't believe Welmu did this. This seemed to me to be the most horibble decision ever...
And if Hydra just pulled back his third when the colossus army came, he should be ahead now. I still can't believe how you can pull 25 probes to attack your enemy and build a nexus behind that oO

He was hinting that someone told Welmu that an 8 pool was coming because of the gateway expand instead of FFE. He then made all obs leave after he scouted the double stargate when he had gone Spire so yes, he was suggesting cheating.
On topic Welmu played good early then had some very, very bad decision making mid game which fucked him up
EDIT: That was nothing to do with balance, Welmu's decision making was just terrible. Pretty scrappy last game, neither played looked impressive tbh
|
HAHA this is a great game for comments by the players
|
LOL
Complaining about balance when he let that base live 3 times for no reason.
|
What a weird ace match. Can't believe Welmu didn't take out that proxy base, even when he scouted it.
|
Best result possible, 5-4 with Acer winning!
GGs!

Hmm.
If anything Nerchio has a point. Obs shouldn't be allowed in game and given some of Eclypsia's prior habits . . . .. I just don't know.

Prior habits? Just because they might have made some questionable marketing decisions does not make them cheaters.

On topic Welmu played good early then had some very, very bad decision making mid game which fucked him up EDIT: That was nothing to do with balance, Welmu's decision making was just terrible. Pretty scrappy last game, neither played looked impressive tbh Hmm. If anything Nerchio has a point. Obs shouldn't be allowed in game and given some of Eclypsia's prior habits . . . .. I just don't know. Prior habits? Just because they might have made some questionable marketing decisions does not make them cheaters.
I'm talking about the Dota 2 incident. I'm not going to accuse Eclypsia of anything because I would need to watch the replay a few times, but Nerchio's fears are not unfounded.

yeeaaah nerchio winnin in the clutch he's awesome

I checked his match history before going for 8 pool and he went FFE every single game, not saying you can't change builds but that was the first thing i noticed. Then he didn't do any pressure(i can't have speed with 8 pool anyway) so he could go out with some stalker/zealot but he didn't and i was playing pretty defensive like 3 queens + spine so that was weird for me as well. And ofcourse 2 stargate vs spire, not accusing anyone of cheating but i prefered to play without obs after so many coincidences.

Seems completely understandable to me.

gg for acer. couldn`t be a better first day with all 9 games played.

Fuck. Caught matches 6-8 but not 9. Missed whatever transpired. I'll watch the rebroadcast and then comment about the decisions made.

I missed the drama, what got said exactly?

Nerchio 8 pooled, got to the ramp and saw Welmu had 2 gates then said "this is why i said no observers" or something similar, obviously thinking someone told Welmu what Nerchio did (see Nerchio's post for his thoughts).
Then, when Nerchio won, Welmu said "so balanced"

Nerchio 8 pooled then said something about having no obs when he saw welmu was prepared. Much later in the game he paused the game and all obs left, seemingly due to nerchios complaining. Then welmu ended the game with a comment about balance after he lost.

I went for gate opening, because ive never played pvz in that map and nerchio likes to be aggressive with early pools and map's rush distance looked like steppes :p. Complained bout balance, because i was pissed about nerchio accusing me of cheating but really it was terrible play from me :/. Id never cheat
|
Congrats Nerchio/Acer for the win, but Welmu you really did a great job for the team, I am not the only one who thought EC would be an easy walk over for Acer.

Yeah, Welmu made that a fight on his own if EC had dRow, Scarlett, Slog and Artist too that could have been pretty one sided.

That's perfectly within your right to ask. It should be in the rulebook anyway.

So happy for Welmu's 3 wins ^^ can't wait to catch up on the VODs.
|
Poor welmu, carrying eclypsia :p
|
Thx all , next time my teammates will score more wins too~
|
I like how people were calling for Acer to sweep, it was so close.
|
Will the rebroadcast include Doa's segment?
