it's the danger of mindgames. you start assuming that the obvious is too obvious to be true.

Aye, normally it's just a bit silly to be mindgaming your opponent when you're going 1 rax CC, since if 1 gate nexus can still hold most things if you prepare, and if you prepare and he goes 1 rax CC, you can just cause a lot of dmg(such as the 3-4 gate pressure after 1 gate nexus). Kinda the reason why terran almost always 1 rax CC and then start doing stuff that is hard to scout, such as 3rd CC, 2 base allins, heavy upgrades etc

Nice job Beasty. Being a part of TSL4 is awesome. Hopefully you can live up to it.

BabyK has come a long way. Still as cheesy though but eh whatever floats your goat.

Yeah, surprisingly good casting by ret and idra. Even though neither of the players was playing zerg. I guess they just know Starcaft 2 pretty well.

Babyknight choked pretty hard in the final series. I guess he was really nervous.

[Daybreak]
MULE: Sir.
Sgt. Bill, SCV: This better be important.
MULE: We have found a large Protoss army approaching this hidden base. Probability of the Protoss locating this base is 98%.
Sgt. Bill: S%#$! Prepare your drills, my comrades. We are going to go down in the history as the bravest heroes.

Zealot: Greetings, sir SCV.
Sgt. Bill: WE DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING. TAKE MY DRILL UP YOUR A@#.
Zealot: Good work there sir. We've heard that a Terran army might be hitting us soon. Just sit tight and be careful. *nonchalantly passes by*
Sgt. Bill: .... huh?

(Five minutes later)
Zealot: ..... huh?

[Cloud Kingdom]
Probe: HOLY JESUS @#$#@ SCVS. WHERE FUCK ARE OUR SCOUTING 2 STALKERS?!?

Stalker 1: Hey, how long do you think we need to hang out by this watchtower by the Terran base?
Stalker 2: Who knows. I killed a scouting marine earlier, so I've filled my quota.
Stalker 1: I'm pretty sure that was my kill.

Will Stephano play today?
He really should, otherwise he is not gonna get it through points alone.

What is this blasphemy... Stephano needs 1 qualifier to qualify... he isn't even gonna drop a map.

Don't jinx him now. Next thing you know, he might get eliminated in the first round by a 4 gate from a random EU Protoss.

Glad to see terran players adapting to the new meta game.

Congratulations to Beastyqt! Really think he's earned it.

He could have probably qualified on the points alone, he was doing so well, but I'm not complaining ^^

Lalush, Darkforce & Babyknight are all pretty much guaranteed at this point now, aren't they?

Someone made a post in the points thread that said there was a certain scenario where they could drop out.

After 8 of 10 events, the race to qualify on points is still very open. Even #1 LaLuSh is not mathematically guaranteed, although it would take a perfect storm for that to happen. I think #5 Bischu is relatively safe, but #6 JonnyREcco is on the bubble. #7 and below almost certainly will need more points to make it.

First the perfect storm: 10 players can get 81 points or more over the next two events (see combinations below), and 12 players are within 77 points of #1 LaLuSh.

Looking at what is realistic, take #6 JonnyREcco. For him to get knocked to #9, 3 players below him must get 154 or more points. Just looking at players getting points for 1 of the 2 events left, players can overtake him:

100+54 - 2 spots, 27 players in range
60+94 - 4 spots, 11 players in range
41+113 - 8 spots, 7 players in range

I think odds are good one of the two 100 point placers to have 54 points already and instantly go over 153 points, and at least one more player to go over 153 by some other combination. That would still keep JonnyREcco safe, but add a second player going over 153 and he would need to get a few more points to stay in.
