This week's games will be commentated by Kevin Knocke and Doa!

I think aTn-Type should win simply due to their deeper (larger) roster and thus the versatibiliy it gives.
|
Please win this aTnType >_< I know you can do it! Fighting~
|
|
|
|
|
assuming that crazymoving can stop socke from all-killing, i could actually see atn-type losing this. however, i'd weigh the odds at roughly 75-25 in favor of atn-type.
|
|
|
I see iS winning this just because crazymoving probably will take enough games, but if that doesn't happen, atn-type probably will win based on their roster size
Calling iS 5-3 aTn-Type
Also, anyone know what brackets look like right now?

Do you see any of them realistically being used aside from Socke/Darkforce/Cloud/Delphi/Type/DBS? I doubt it, tbh

It's 6 vs 6 really, aTn + Real/DBS
|
This could actually be a really close, cool match. These teams look very even.
|
aTn seemed pretty focussed on D3 in the last weeks so I think they might lose.
|
I can't say iS is going to win.  Gl though.
|
aTn should win, but given their unmatched ability to constantly disappoint in team leagues somehow, I'm voting for InfinitySeven.
|
This one should be close. I hope so anyways, I'll be sad to see either of these teams fall. I like them both and seeing a breakout performance from one of them would be nice.
|
Woot! Infinity Seven hwaiting!
aTn going to be tough challenge, but we can do it.

Yea... crazy moving's back isn't large/strong enough to carry his team.. especially against people like Nerchio and Socke
|
Anything besides an Insur all kill would be a major upset
|
Caster's arn't giving jecho enough credit he's doing a lot of things really well. Taking out all those tanks with an infested terrain drop coupled with the long attack!? That creep spread!? Cloud is slightly outplaying him but this is a really great game.

Nerchio's on Acer, not aTn.
|
Oh those seeker missiles... ouch
Cloud doing some major work
|
Cloud has some promising TvZ
|
weird but cool game, ravens are getting more used i love that

DoA sounds like he's already written iS off...
And DoA had his microphone the wrong way around for his cartographers? Who is making maps of Doa's head?
|
ClouD <3 you can win the next match too, I believe!
|
ClouD is so good that a map was named after him.
|
sandbox not looking too great.
|
CPJ's observing has always been amongst the worst of all casters. During, obviously, the final upcoming battle, he was watching a pack of marines doing absolutely nothing while on the minimap there was a battle going on in the third. Of course, he goes there once the game is over and we missed the whole fight.

Creator vs MKP.. sounds good!
|
Poor Axslav 
|
Cloud all-kill incoming? :D
|
Philadelphia, PA10406 Posts
Ouch, this has not been Axslav's teamleague. Two really cringe-worthy losses.
|
What just happened? I missed the whole game when I walked out of the room.
|
|
|
Ouch, that worked amazingly for Cloud. I don't see IS coming back from 0 - 3.

It was nexus first!
|
ClouD gonna get the all-kill? I think Crazymoving might be able to take him out, but I hope ClouD gets the all kill. It'd be a damn shame for him to go 4-0 and then lose right before allkilling T_T so close yet so far.
|
Rofl.
First of all this is hilarious.
Secondly Doa is right.
|
Ok, iS at least stopped the bleeding, and they still have Crazy. Maybe they can get the comeback
|
Man, that was the best casting I've seen from these guys and I've watched A LOT of IPL. It was funny in the down parts, and on point when it needed to be. Doa is always great but good on Kevin for stepping it up a notch in my eyes.

There is only one way to decide this
Poll: The best Beatle?John Lennon (11) 41% Ringo Starr (7) 26% Paul McCartney (5) 19% George Harrison (4) 15% 27 total votes Your vote: The best Beatle? (Vote): Paul McCartney
(Vote): Ringo Starr
(Vote): John Lennon
(Vote): George Harrison
|
i rly have to say that i concider Doa/CatZ pajamas one of the best caster duos atm.
only other duos i like to listen to is tastosis, bitterdam, Total.B.Apollo and probably Day9/Husky(wheat)
|
Ooh, no Crazymoving. I guess Alternate wins, then. I don't think Insur can four-kill.
|
That was a bit dissapointing by Socke, but it should be still enough for aTn-type. They can still play Delphi-> Real -> DarkForce and chose the map for each game.
|
great game by delphi, gj @ aTn (Type?^^) :D
|
F*ck yeah Delphi :D good to see him win, given that he hasn't had that much success in team leagues yet. Great win for aTnType, looking foward to seeing them again 
|
So far in every broadcasted series, the winning team has had the last person leave in every replay.
Kind of a dead give away and something that is easily fixed.
|
I didn't think Delphi would win against a Protoss, but props to him (and ClouD, of course, since he did most of the work)!
|
CM didn't play in this because of his preparation for the GSL qualifiers.
Sorry guys ^^
|
fiiiiiiiiiinally they won something in teamleagues
they always do so much better in solo leagues than in teamleagues i hope this will change now gogo aTnType
|
Good to see Alternate finally win! Excited to see who their opponent in losers round 2 will be.
|
Oh yeah. aTn-Type hopefully comes all the way through the loser's bracket.
|
if crazymoving plays well, then yes
|
Omg, Cloud carrying the whole team on his shoulders! Great job!!!
|
Delphi is the strongest german player atm, because he didn't play D3 all day long in that past month.
