Check-Six fiiiighting! Hopefully Mystik and Sleep are able to steal some games =O
|
With Symbol and Polt beasting up lately, I can't see how TSL would lose this.
Rooting for the underdog though. Check-Six fighting xD

GO SUPPY! CHECK-SIX FIGHTING
|
Whatever happened to Millenium-TSL?
|
Suppy all kill incoming! (i can dream right?) Hoping check six gets enough b teamers that they can take it to an ace, and that sleep puts up some kills
|
going to go with TSL. Polt has been killing it recently.

5:1
maybe 5:2
maybe a allkill
|
All kill for sure. X6 has like..no impressive players other than Sleep. So maybe a 5:1.
|
I love sleep and his godly ZvP, but seeing as TSL only has 2 protoss, and one of them (inori) beat stephano...
Go go TSL! Polt polt polt!

X6 going for broke early on, sadly he drew his worst MU but fortunately revival's worst MU is ZvZ so I'm just gonna flip a coin to predict this... Heads, sleep will win.
|
glial reconstitution.. god I love that.. what a bauce.
|
Going to be pretty one-sided I think. Either 5-1 or 5-2 depending on who TSL sends first.
|
Yikes, why did they send out Sleep first? He's like their ace. I don't think Check Six has much chance left without him.

|
Now that sleep lost, here comes revival all kill xD
|
Possible Revival all-kill the way things are going, seeing Sleep is gone. (I think)
|
Naw. PLAY SUPPY. HE WILL WIN FOR YOU
|
Where the hell is KEVIN KNOCKE?!
|
Quick question: Who the fuck is suppy and is it bullshit hype or is he actually good?

I remember seeing a game he played against a meching Terran, and his burrowed roach multitasking was truly amazing. However, this was about 9 months ago and the Terran was some minor foreign pro. He's not bad, but many of us haven't seen him play for so long that there is little to judge on.

Ouch, x6 sends Sleep first, loses. I can't see them winning at all with Sleep down. Don't get the decision to send Sleep first.

All kill or bust
|
That was really cool when he spammed all the forcefields on those roaches but the roaches sniped the nexus right on time.
|
I guess they realised they were pretty much screwed anyway, but they really should have saved their ace in case they get a chance later to put him in in a favourable situation. Getting their ace killed in the beginning seems pretty stupid to me.

ye i think it was like the very last roach that got it too!
|
Why u no play suppy @.@ He's damn good.
|
I have a feeling that Revival's going to throw this all-kill away.
|
mystik forgot his pathogen glands
|
That was a total All-skill mirite

Well good job on the all kill revival I guess. On the bright side at least they didn't get murdered by a B-teamer who can't qualify for the GSL.

Decision to start off with Sleep amazes me but honestly I don't really see anyone on x6's roster that would be able to take a game of TSL to begin with so it doesn't really matter.

It's worth mentioning that he fell to DRG, who's no slouch.

One sided as expected really. Congratulations to Revival, who I feel is one of the more underrepresented players on TSL
|
x6 sc2 team isnt even that good.. i am pretty sure the worst player on any korean team couldve ACED them.
|
Why did check six open with their ace, did they really think sleep was going to all kill, unless they did, opening with him was a really bad move, unless someone wants to explain to me why i am wrong (which is totally possible).
|
|
I feel like x6 only got Sleep and maybe Mystik.. didn't expect them to send out sleep first either tho.
|
Yea get out x6, I expected them to lose and they did not dissapoint.
