haha - I like that! Will be fixed with the players announcements tomorrow (Prepare yourself to be amazed! :D)
|
Wow beastly tournament, though I find it difficult to believe that Polt changed his citizenship to Poland just to play in more European Weekly Cups :p
|
Haha you haven't seen anything guys wait until the the last 4 players are announced ^^
|
sick lineup. Normally I would say this is an easy win for Polt, but after Nerchio's sick form at HSC5 and the current TvZ metagame, I'm going to say this is going to be a closer tournament.
|

It's obvious that Polt defected to Poland after watching HSC V and seeing how cool the ministry of win house looks
|
|
|
Also Polt isn't Polish anymore. Maybe he was too afraid of Carmac drawing flags all over him - just kidding :D
HF everyone!
|
Wow, the new reveals are just as beastly as the first set. Either Polt, Nerchio or MKP I think will make the finals, but Creator is always capable of impressing everyone. Hope I can catch the tournament tomorrow!
|
The tournament is going to be great  You can expect a lot of good games!

Looks cool, there is a mistake in the schedule
Saturday, July 14th 2012
1300 CEST Ro4 #1: winner Ro8 #1 vs. winner Ro8 #2
1430 CEST Ro4 #2: winner Ro8 #3 vs. winner Ro8 #4
1600 CEST bronze final: loser Ro4 #1 vs. loser Ro8 #2
1730 CEST grand final: winner Ro4 #1 vs. winner Ro8 #2
The last line should be the following:
1730 CEST grand final: winner Ro4 #1 vs. winner Ro4 #2
|
Creator Leenock MKP Nightend on one side
Polt Nerchio Mana and Naama on the other
I guess it's because they want to play without the ping difference, but wow the upper side of the bracket is so much more stacked.
|
Creator.Prime is taking this, absolutely beasting up everything lately.

Creator takes game 1! yeah!
|
|
|
Dat blink micro.
Whenever he does these blink all ins his micro is always phenomenal. Shame he doesn't micro as well against Terran TT
|
Creator is so scary.
I feel like Naniwa might be right making of him the best protoss atm.
His results should come fast in the next month I guess.

why doesn't leenock add banelings to his army? when there are no more sentries, banelings should help a lot. zergs should do that more often, or is there a good reason why they do not?

The attack hits before you could get baneling speed. And slow banelings vs blink stalkers is kind of hard to connect cost-efficiently.

Replays are now up in the first post

Well Leenock want to go to sleep.

Marineking opened up with early marine and scv pressure vs I believe a 1 gate expand and killed a ton of probes. Nightend was able to hold it off but mkp was able to get up to 4 rax with 1 tech lab and 1 reactor and an orbital up at his natural. Marineking holds the counter attack. MKP gets 2 medivacs and stim and pushes across the map. Nightend goes for blink. MKP has a huge army supply lead and 4 medivacs. nightend forcefields the ramp so marineking just drops his base and wins the game
|
why would Protoss learn to split ;D "never" AOE (mech & bannelings) vs Protoss
|
|
|
wtf was that from Nightend so strong
|
Haha Storm saves yet another Protoss from death.
|
Marine out position NightEnd best opportunity send immortals first, then storm + A command

You played well NightEnD considering you faced one of the best players in the world right now. You should be proud of yourself sir.

Ahh okay. Sorry. I know MorroW and some others have said it favors EU on NA

As long as Polt plays his TvT like he did versus Keen, he should be able to sweep Naama 3-0.

As expected the Prime players crushing through their opponents.
Sadly NightEnd vs MKP was cross-server, it would not have changed the outcome if they played on the same server but still.
Gogo Polt and a Polish player!

For MorroW thats most likely true, but swedish internet is much better than romanian.

Polt is going from Bio into BCs against Mech. Epic.
Edit: Sick flank just puts Polt even further.

It's more that east europeans are more far away from NA servers than west europeans, I guess.

And Polt just crushed Naama's little one base Mech push.
|
Ye, bye bye naama, hope polt destroys him in third game too.
|
Naama is simply getting outclassed by Polt in basically everyway.

Gogogogo Polt! Just completely outplaying Naama on every level
|
Lol such a good example of a Korean way out of the foreigner's league. Polt did show up some magic there...
|
Shit Polt, why are you so good?
Insane level of decision making...
|
|
|
I cannot believe just how well Polt is playing right now. Basically displaying near perfect decision-making in a basetrade.
HOLY SHIT, HE ACTUALLY DID IT.

Polt, mai boy. Dat magic.

Naama had that game

Wtf I'm so impressed, everything Polt did fell in place in the end, perfect moves and composure. Soooo high level.
|
Polt decision making in these situation is so good
He almost never get to the bad end of weird games
|
After this last match I think naama can retire :/ polt really outclassed him

Polt with another crazy TvT after that game against TOP yesterday.

Absolutely, Polt is so bad in these kind of games, so Naama needs to retire...Im pretty sure that after being in the same team as MKP did not help at all either...

Poland is fighting itself LOL. Depends on how well MaNa's PvZ becomes, but Nerchio is probably going to win.
Dem manner Hatches.

Why is it that Titan and Fraer are such a problem for Nerchio? Any other protoss is simply breakfast for him, as evident from this game.

If Khaldor was human he would need to sleep. Well, since Khaldor is in fact a higher being, probably the next form of evolution after the human, he indeed doesn't need to sleep.

WOW MaNa does it! Great showing of his patience and good decision making all around.
Well, that was meant for the battle he won.

Nerchio's zvp is so good @@.
|
The longer the game goes, the more it looks like a Nerchio vs Polt quarter-finals.
|
The final engagement by Nerchio was excellent! Infested terrans in advance for the mothership, fungals for the archons, well done!

Khaldor is so crazy, casting till 5 am barely missing a beat.

I don't know about Fraer, with Titan I think it's because of his sentry-heavy composition and brilliant forcefields – Nerchio hates abusive forcefields.
However, I think in their most recent game (Ritmix) Nerchio foreigned hard on third map.

I'm a fan of every players in the semi, so I have to root for the foreigner here.
It'll be a fun day!

Why is this so unheard of...

Oh, come oooon, Polt's army is still on creep and Nerchio makes 8 drones I would have made 3 more cycles of units :D

He has 8 infestors coming behind this timing, game 1 looks over for Polt o.O

So much lag must feel pretty unplayable for Polt.

I believe Polt beat Nerchio either 3-0 or 3-1 last time they played in the MSI cup.
Nerchio complained every other game then too.
Edit: Actually it was just 2-0. I have a replay of them playing bo5 series, not sure where it was played.
|
ahh Daybreak one of Nerchios best maps ^^
|
No gg, nice from Nerchio, didn't expect that at all :S
|
Nerchio being bm as usual
|
Not even a real scoreboard? That's sad...
|
Yeah... Nerchio dont scout, puts late Pool, ragequits and then whines Classic.
That lag is bullshit btw... It's almost imposible for the terran to micro, so I'm not surprised that Polt cheesed in the 2nd game.
|
Of course. Let's put schedule in advance to mix it so people who used it ended not watching games which they planed. Thanks! Still better than no schedule at all.

What's sad is that you're actually complaining about the 'scoreboard'.. It's also not even correct since the "real" scoreboard would be the one in the sc2 client and an overlay scoreboard could be considered a "fake" scoreboard.

Polt floating a lot of money...
I wonder if the lag is as bad in-game as it is for Khaldor.
|
this game looks really laggy ;x

"What a fungal, fuck my life"

The Terran has almost no chance of engaging well with lag like this =/

Polt is looking dead

I bet Polt hasn't realized Nerchio has the base at 11 :/

It looks pretty unplayable with this lag.. both of them making mistakes they would never do otherwise

This is so cool.
Polt generally has extremely meticulous, pre-planned and generally safe builds.
It's so cool to see him play something so greedy and unexpected, I feel it's an important part of any well rounded Terran, if not well-rounded player in general.

He really doesn't have to do any sort of timings.
If Nerchio continues to try and get to 4-5 base broodlord army again, Polt will simply max out much faster and kill Nerchio before he can transition.

Oh wow Polt is a lot worse than he was a couple months ago.

Nerchio counters Polt's greed flawlessly GJ Nerchio.

Aww, what an unfortunate ending. Looks like Polt couldn't micro at all.
Couldn't lift depots in time, micro marines back in time, move away SCVs in time.
Oh well, GL to Polt in Bronze match.

Huge amounts of lag, not excusing polts lackluster play but that was bad.
|
Woah, Draco to Korea! :-O

it was quite risky by Nerchio.. had he not killed the Polt with that attack he would have been dead himself..
and btw, he didn't counter Polt's build it was a blind attack

Terrible series.
Here's to a less laggy and better played one between MKP and Creator =)

Polt generally has extremely meticulous, pre-planned and generally safe builds.
It's so cool to see him play something so greedy and unexpected, I feel it's an important part of any well rounded Terran, if not well-rounded player in general. ye, very cool stuff, he notices how nerchio doesn't challenge the map at all so just goes for it nice i just hope he starts putting the extra minerals into aggression asap, otherwise he's getting rolled again He really doesn't have to do any sort of timings. If Nerchio continues to try and get to 4-5 base broodlord army again, Polt will simply max out much faster and kill Nerchio before he can transition.
if the zerg identifies at any point that you're macro-ing and not doing a timing, the game is over then and there...
meh, don't matter anyway cos polt's play was just no bueno

Polt has been playing really great recently.
I watched some of his TSL4 qualifier games. His control and decision making is still really good.
Nerchio is without a doubt one of the best foreigners, so it's not completely mind blowing he won again Polt, but that certainly was not Polt's A game.

Crap I didn't realize today started so much earlier than yesterday and I won't be able to watch marineking vs creator. Sad there won't be a marineking vs polt finals. Hope mkp can take it all
|
That game reminded me of how Stephano beat Polt in game 3 at MLG. He countered Polt's early third with a great Roach/Ling timing. I think Polt just might want to scout better at times, or at least play a little safer, especially at the last game of that series.
|
This definitely isn't Polts normal game. Miss raising depots 2 times and didnt move the scvs at this naturals against banes until its so late. Guess blame the lag.
|
Frist completely raped every korean in HSC, now outplayed polt, but no, everything because of lag, you are pathetic. Nerchio is a monster, get over it.

very undeserved win.

Lag is quite a huge issue in cross-server tournaments, and it possibly played a role in Polt's rather bad play. We aren't denying that Nerchio is a good player, we are saying that Polt's play was not like his usual, and lag may have played a role in that.
(Thank's Asha' )

Noone is purely blaming it on lag but it did affect the game quite a bit,.

Not denying Nerchio's skill, but Polt's reaction times were very off in that series. He is not the kind of guy to screw up his micro you know

Polt played really poorly especially his macro, the lag looked pretty bad but that's not the only reason he lost.

dude, every zerg and their mother is having their breakout tournament and is destroying everything nowadays... let's calm down a bit on the "monster" and "raping koreans" stuff
nerchio always played and will always play really good, polt didn't look like himself, lag can be tilting when you lose etc
the games were what they were, no reasons to jump to random conclusions
|
I wouldn't call everbody pathetic (lol) but they both played on the North American server, so Polt had the same advantages or lack thereof as Nerchio. I dont Think polish Internet is that good.
Plus Khhaldor just confirmed it.
|
Just saying if you do very similar builds every game like Polt did with hellion + bio push and quick 3rd base, it was pretty obvious that he's playing really greedy and won't have enough tanks to stop this, but what do i know i am bad at this game in contrast to most of the people on team liquid :D

I think you might want to reword that slightly =p

It's silly to say the player had no delay or lag though. Every single pro, ever will tell you they have lag any time they play cross server.
It's nice to hear it's not as bad as it looks on stream, but it's not fair to say it's perfectly playable.

That was not Nerchio A game as well, both played under bad conditions. Judging skill by that series, no matter who would would have been wrong. (To be clear, I am not accusing you of having done that, I just said it in general.)

This game with MKP and Creator on the Korean server is also lagging. I think it is something on Khaldor's end rather than insane ingame lag.

What was the worker count during all of that, MKP had 2/2 nearly 3/3 and was constantly 30 supply ahead every engagement, it couldn't have been that drastic of a disparity. WTF?

Very good engagements by Creator, I'm actually surprised some went as well for him as they did. Maybe the very fast upgrades?

Dude, starboard hasn't been working for me the past couple days even after I reinstalled the app and restarted all other applications involved. Khaldor if you read this just make a title in Xsplit with the score, but it shouldn't be that much of an issue where you post 3 times bitching about it.

Creator's 3-3 kicked in between MKP killing the fourth and trying to press at the nat so he had a +1/+1 upgrade lead with the big engagement that turned the main battles around.
Then MKP forgot his vikings so when Colossus came back out there was nothing around to deal with them and the warp prism at the production slowed down the reinforcement cycles a lot.
And Creator doesn't really make many mistakes in his engagements so far this series,.

MKP has to be frustrated after those losses, he played it out so well only to die to overextension with a nearly insurmountable lead.

MKP died to a warp prism

Forgetting about those vikings was a very big mistake. He probably thought he traded them all for colossus in the first fight, but Creator didn't have enough anti air to kill them.

cause wrap-in 3-3 zealots camping terran production buildings is extremely strong, and MKP forgot about those vikings at the top which could've helped by taking down collosus and the wrap prism.

Well he was focusing on his army so much (as you need to do with fragile terran units) that a warpprism went unchecked for ages in his base, camped his production with zealots etc, that was more important than forgetting the vikings. He just couldn't multitask well enough to deal with it

MKP wasnt so much ahead in those fights. Creator has 1 tech higher with colo/ archon. Its normal for tos to have 10 food below.

but for me it always seems like if terran wins an engagement and is +-20 supply ahead he hast to win at least 2 more engagements to actually win the game, but if protoss wins ONE engagement its basically gg

Protoss can generally reinforce more aggressively, terran has to wait for reinforcements to actually arrive.
+20 food doesn't matter when that +20 isn't in the fight.

That's simply because of the warp gate mechanic and how Protoss can reinforce much much quicker after a max vs max battle ends.
Terran cannot queue up units to be produced while maxed, and they only start building once supply goes down, they then have to walk across the map towards the rally point and then to where you need them to be in a battle.
Protoss can warp in which takes I believe 5 seconds and it can be done anywhere with pylon/warp prism power.
Is it unfair? I don't know, but that's how sc2 protoss is.
|
MKP's supply blocked, not a common sight to behold.
|
creator is playing too well
|
It's unfortunate that MKP could not do damage with his 2 Rax push, considering the push relies on punishing the early expo and taking at least a few Sentries and Probes along with the attack.
|
Not looking good, my King :'(
|
Creator has played this series so well, looks like he's going to win this game.
|
MarineKing always seems so low on medivacs
|
Part of me is thinking, well fuck. Part of me is thinking YAY MKP Polt!
|
Creator should know that you never baserace against MKP ;;
|
Cannons are irrelevant against 3/3 bio :D

Not the best map to beat a turtly protoss like Creator.

Yay Creator!

Really impressive series from Creator

MKP didn't play his greatest games, but that was a really good show anyway. Wp to Creator, his style seems well suited to beat MKP's.

Creator gon' win this shit.
|
Terran in a nutshell :D No idea what will happen but this looks good :D *grabs popcorn*
|
|
|
This game is gonna be really weird. Last time I saw proxy marauder vs proxy marauder it went to this crazy base trade
|
Lol Polt and MKP, same proxy build, they sure are alike!
|
Ahaahah... this is too hilarious
Polt's base is at MKP's base, Marinekin's base is at the base below that
|
This is just jokes, both are proxy Raxing Marauders.
|
this situation is so epic
It's like that GSL game on Bel'shir Beach Winter all over again.

LOL this is unbelievable. Khaldor is losing his mind as well.
|
All this strategy talk between these two back when Polt was still at Prime sure pays off :D
|
This is probably the silliest game I've seen, ever.
|
Is it gonna be a draw?
EDIT: Nah its not

Its in the bible. Don't fucking base trade with MKP.

This tournament has some really entertaining TvTs.
|
Come on one more double cheese
|
Wow really poor building placement for both, you can't def your base if your units are on the other side of the map!
|

Are they both gonna proxy again in the 3rd set?

Oh my, another map where proxying Marauders is popular.

Really polt? Proxy marauder 3 games in a row? Third time's the charm I guess

It's weird they invited NightEnd. He hasn't quite gained that many results lately eventhough he was in Korean for a while. But to be fair, everyone is so much better now. Maybe he just need more exposure and this can be his chance?
|
Well i always thought that Polt did the same build order over and over again in tvt and tvz, but this is taking it too far.
edit- Nvm he makes a factory!

I kind of wish Polt win this one and we get 5 straight games of proxy shenanigan.
|
These two must really be having fun with each other, almost as if they said, "Hey, let's just proxy every game!"
|
|
|
|
|
Blah MKP not manly enough to proxy for the 3rd time.. Polt fighting!
|
Well, that was a pretty bad run by Polt in his standards. Losing to Nerchio when he was definitely capable of beating him, and losing to MKP in some pretty dumb but fun games.
|
This might be the first time a bo5 tvt takes shorter time than a pvz bo5.

I never knew how much thought he put into that O_o

Khaldor is a boss for getting Polt's perspective on that weird game.

Can anyone list the songs that's been playing between the breaks? Really digging them.

Nerchio fighting! ZvP ezpz

Creator such a monster ohmygod.

What a whiny little -censored- nerchio is
User was warned for this post
|
Nerchio such a kid with that immortal statement. Creator just outplayed him.
|
Nerchio: "immortals are way too strong in this game"
|
when did creator get SO good
|
Saying immortals are imba when it only counter roaches while infestors counter every terran unit except ghost
|
I just hate Nerchio, such a little whiny kid, i got so sad when he won homestory
|
Nerchio, stop whining and get to work!
|
Bisutopia19240 Posts
Why did Nerchio have to say that? Now the community will errupt. I'm just assuming he said it in a light hearted sense. I hope he can continue to show good games.
|
Immortals definitely are too strong... when you're too stupid to produce any non-armored unit to counter.
|

Too bad whiny protoss fanboys are spamming thread with hate comments. Nerchio is right, you are just way too below his skill level to understand that.

Some zerg pro players just feel some need to talk about their pain!
They are the most emotional guys out there I think .

Oh please, no need to have such a double standard and claim others are spewing hate comments when you are doing the same. Nerchio has no right to say such comment, seeing as he built mainly Roaches, which are are hard countered by Immortals. Nerchio just needs to stop getting so emotional about games he messed up, and learn from the mistakes.

Creator

Nerchio acually drops comment like this every time he loses, it doesnt matter what race it is. He like to makes it specific like "immortals to strong" or terran is to strong in situations like this, but most of the time he is just laughing to himself like he thinks this game is stupid. I wish Nerchio would just quit sc2.

lag is the same for everyone, stop whining crybabies.

I still remember one game where he was offracing vs DIMAGA, and he said "zerg is so bullshit in this game" lolol ;D... he was obv. joking that time...

dammit immortars too good..
|
Creator is simply playing on a different level right now from Nerchio. I think the emotions are beginning to seep into Nerchio's play, he's getting really frustrated.
|
LOL so awesome to see enrchio lose like that. HAHAHAHA ...and now stalkers and immortals are OP ... lets see which unit it is next game, maybe probe
|
'One unit to rule them all'? Did he mean infestors?

What did Nerchio say exactly?

Yeah, I've only seen him in tournaments that he has done well in. Seems like an excellent player afaik. Too bad if he complains a lot. Oh well, I still like him.

He's indeed an excellent player, but he has anger issues that would make Idra blush.

Huh, didn't know Nerchio was a whiner. Lost a lot of respect for him if that's true. A shame, I was so impressed with how he took HSC, going through MC and Yonghwa.

Anyone that thinks Nerchio is being serious with those comments and boil already should get his head checked, So yeah, like 20 posters above me should go to doctor.

He is known for his vocal imbalance issues whenever he is losing. I remember he would whine when he lost to Polt in a MSI Pro Cup series and to some other players who were simply outplaying him. It's quite sad really, such a talented player allows his emotions to take control and his play suffers as a result.

It's absolutly irrelevant to me what nationality he is (what matter's is that he is actually zerg if you want to know), but to see TL saint community to roar in anger as someone dares to not just write gg like robot and make actually funny comment about blink stalkers is always entertaining.
Don't forget to e-mail his team and sponsor's about this disgrace behaviour, such BM player.

Khaldor's random cussing is so awesome haha

Nerchio is going to whine about DTs and zealots now.

Nerchio go afk in that battle? That was weird.

Total domination by creator.

Uh huh. I'll take back what I said about nationality and assume that what matters is indeed that he's Zerg. Doesn't change the fact that consistently whining after a loss makes you look stupid and immature, and will probably lose you the respect of many spectators. There's a difference between making entertaining comments and just balance whining when you're angry and sore that you lost, so you shouldn't try to equate the two.
edit: embarrassing misuse of word xD

The word you are looking for is not "personality", rather "showmanship".
Or "clowning as much as they can, since excesses entertain".

The next GIGABYTE NVIDIA Invitational will take place next Friday & Saturday. First two players are aLive and Ret. We opened a new thread for the 2nd edition. Thanks to all of you for tuning in and hope to have you watching next week again.

Little disappointed about Nerchios behavior, but still good tournament for him. Creator soo good, congrats!. Overall these two days were really fun, thanks to organizers, and to Khaldor for great casting. Definitively will try to watch next one.

No bias there... for sure.....
lol, writing gg is not because you are a robot... It is respect for your opponent. Kind of like handshake after Wimbledon in tennis or soccer matches. Maybe you felt it was unfair, but you MAN up and do it anyways and not just rage quit like a child. Did you notice that Nestea got screwed in his game 1 with Byun, but all IM did was report the issue and tell GOM to fix it for the next match. He could have left the booth and cause a shitstorm... That is how players earn respect...
The funny thing is... Koreans only comment on balance when they are asked 'specifically' in interviews (MVP/MMA) and people
tell them to stop whining. But when foreigners do it at the end of games when NO ONE asked them, they are showing personality?
