EG favoured, Dignitas needs a lot of luck to take this.
|
Yikes, got all of EG in about their best matchups (maybe PvP better for HuK) I think EG is gonna take this.
|
3-1 EG, probably with merz winning, although Incontrol could definitely take that.
|
Dignitas not looking that scary this season. EG should have this if they dont mess around too much (especially HuK lol)

SeleCT vs HuK brings back such memories.
Back in the day, before HuK signed with Millenium, before SeleCT joined Dignitas, before Masters and GM where the highest league was Diamond, and before all the titles and fame, these two guys were #1 and #2 on the NA ladder for a ridiculously long period of time, creating a lot of fun matches; Day[9] analyzed 2 or 3 of them in his old Dailies. I still remember Scrap Station during MLG DC when HuK mothership-rushed for the fans :')
Hopefully they play some good games

Why didn't this thread come up when I searched "eg mcsl"? I found it just too late and dream to be evil denied my predictions @9:00 on the dot. T_T
|
I don't understand why people are saying EG is favored... Incontrol against Merz? I'll take Merz on that. Sjow is capable of taking down Thorzain, SeleCT is really good and I think hes in top shape right now. Killer is the only one I would say probably won't win, but he has been playing really really well lately. EG might take it but it won't be a blowout, imo
|
3-1 dignitas with 1 of killer or sjow losing

Once he transferred from WoW to SC2, I believe he left Dignitas for a short while (or at least they didn't renew his contract), but he later rejoined the SC2 Dignitas team

HuK's worst matchup has been PvT for a while now. PvP is by far his best.

He was absolutely more well-known, and by far more successful, as a DoW player, (Double WCG champion, Jesus..) even though he was still regarded as a great WC3 player.
Hmm, I'm actually not sure whether it was DoW or WoW that he swtiched to SC2 from, gotta check that later...

I'm pretty sure HuK was with TL and Select with Dignitas

4-0 to EG. Thorzain eat polt so no problem. Incontrol said he's been getting better. Select sucks right now. And killer… hahahahaha Demuslim beat NesTea.

eh, i don't see the point if the top 4 are already decided no?

You can always trust Incontrol to warp DTs in times of trouble.
|
Inc keeps getting into an awesome position and throwing units away. I guess the mass DTs on his stream earlier weren't a troll?
REALLY needs to work on his engagements, his macro play is looking good but...
|
Did he really just trade an army for a planetary? :x
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Incontrol needs to work on his control. He macro'd really freaking well but lost almost every engagement.
|
The mass Dark Templar was a very interesting choice...
|
How many gates does Incontrol has when hes on 6 bases? It seems really low.
|
incontrol's 100 probe army for the WIN

I'm pretty sure you forget that HuK had his first team contract with Millenium, and SeleCT left Dignitas for a short while in his transitioning period between Wow/DoW and SC2. Learn your history before posting stupid stuff.

merz please attack
edit: not like that
|
InControl plays Best when he is not in control of the game
|
|
|
So how come mass raven/HSM never caught on in TvP? It seems like a natural progression when you consider the entire lategame army is CALLED a death ball. Its almost always clumped, imagine HSM raining hell down on the toss army. Ravens with ghosts (to stop feedbacks) seems like an insanely effective choice
|
MERZ ATTACK THE DAMN ARMY WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP RUNNING JESUS CHRIST
how can you be scurred of probes and stalkers?

This is like...the weirdest game I've seen in a long long time.

Merz won game he could've won 20 min ago :D

Why mass DTs? Incontrol's production was insane that game, producing at one point 5 collosus and 14 DTs simultaneously.
That game was nuts, both guys went full-foreigner multiple times though

Two reasons:
Terrans loathe innovation.
Ghosts do not simply negate HTs. Sniping is hard, so is landing good EMPs. 1 feedback = no HSM from that raven for a long time, if it doesn't die.
It's a good idea since Terran sits on a lot of gas late game but even if ravens start to get used its hardly gonna revolutionise the matchup

It could be interesting to mix a few in once you get to that crazy split map PFs everywhere time.

Well that was quite the incorrect over-generalization. Pros are innovating each day, trying to find new, better ways to win the game.
But otherwise, I agree with you about Ravens. Too expensive and fragile to use. You invest a lot of time, resources and production (that same starport could be double producing vikings against collosus) to get tech like HSM, yet a single feedback can completely negate that ability.

That was a sad game from Select. Why he didn't build his 3rd CC in his main we may never know.

i think it was a great game, but my stream kept lagging out and putting up the 'one more game' logo.
fix ur shit twitch.
edit - meant fix

Code messup in the OP, you accidentally bolded the [ in the spoiler tag thus messing things up

Heh, you messed the spoiler tag. I'm surprised Huk played though, thought he hated playing cross server.

My god, those 2 games were so sick by Select. Great comebacks, even though he wasn't able to close it out in the first game.

Wait...this is the ace match? Aw come on  missed it, no wonder it was showing so late grr

what? how is select behind LOL.
it's pretty even, both have good economies. select even got his second CC faster.

I play all 3 races tried just about everything. Ravens suck vs Feedback, especially hsm. FB is very easy to land and an instant cast. It also outranges HSM, not exactly sure by how much, but I'm, pretty sure it's not even close. You can try to EMP/snipe hts, but rarely get them all, then try to bundle that with HSm, is pretty tough, like u have to land your emp in front of templars or you lose to fb, I think snipe is a bit easier. Perhaps you do everything perfectly and don't get fb'd HSM is still unbelievably slow, easy for toss to dodge/split. I did use HSM effectively in TVT to break siege lines mech v mech and the pdd great for terrans that try to break your tanks with rauders. Not sure why no-one uses them there, but I've seen nukes used for same purpose of forcing siege lines to move.
