WAIT WHAT!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Talk about EG dodging a bullet. This is absolutely awesome in the big picture. Liquid and EG both in the Premier League (if I understand the format correctly).
Sucks for NSH tho, guess they couldn't make the time work.
And yeah, in the short term, that sucks balls, would've been a good match.
Then again, this one's great as well, really hope Prime pulls it off. FXO is great too, but Premier league with MVP, Liquid, EG, Slayers and Prime is an absolute dream come true.
|
Go Prime!! Should be a great match.
Lucky EG :D
|
damn that would've been a good match T_T
rooting for prime on this one though

T-T....
I can only assume this is because NSH wants to focus on the GSTL and GSTL only

MKP just may all-kill FXO if he is allowed to rampage like this.
|
The hell, they sent MKP out first?
So the floodgates have been opened
|
annyeong is retiring? wtf??

Well he lost it earlier (when the first guy posted about it) but then later on MKP used the concussive shells as a distraction to make sure the stim finishes the second time around.

Lol what the hell. Awesome game ^^
Can't stop him.

Well, that sucks. NSHoseo had such a great run last tournament too. Lucky EG gets top 8 and gets to call themselves a premier team now :p

hmm, looks like fxo is gonna have to send out leenock to try to stop mkp now?

Wow, way to go NSHoSeo. Making me write a preview for nothing. In all seriousness though, they're probably preparing for their GSTL match.

More on topic... I was just going to comment on how good Doa is at talking about the development of builds and which players used them previously. It's really cool to go back and remember them when he talks about it.

dat 1.4 from MKP oO
|
Mmmm looks like another classic MKP game going on
edit: fuck
|
Looks like Leenock still got his ZvT prowess in full spades.
Edit: Just noticed that Leenock has yet to get 3/3 (I believe), which just might screw him over.
|
I know MKP's said that Leenock is one of the Zergs that no matter what he does, he has problems

MKP is gonna win this. Leenock is only on 2/2 ground (with ultra armor).
|
omg is MKP pushing back this army O_o
|
Oh please... please let this be another MKP comeback...

He may have problems against Leenock, but usually he wins.
MKP is 12-3 vs Leenock

Holy shit... fuck yeah MKP!

While Leenock has traditionally been very strong in ZvT, he's been looking really weak in the matchup lately. Imo, this is because Leenock was the absolute last Zerg to switch from a 2 base muta style into a more modern 3 base ground based style. Thus, he doesn't have as much experience with this style compared to other Zergs of his caliber and often looks lost.
|
Leenock playing that Freaky style, 21 infestors :O
|
Two epic games from 2010 had a baby. Clide vs Leenock on Shakuras and MKP vs Kyrix on Xel Naga (last game of the series vs Kyrix that began on Shakuras).
|
Oh damn well Leenock managed to hold. Those fungals on the vikings were pretty huge. It looks like Leenock has it now. Very good game.

Talk about an epic game holy shit. Grats Leenock

As far as I remember, Leenock was one of the first Zergs to really realize the potential of Infestor based ZvT armies, and would only use double Spire Mutas occasionally. Well, doesn't really matter at this point, seeing as he beat MKP with the style, so he at least understands how to use it against Code S caliber players.

To me it looked like pretty normal ZvT 
Gratz to Leenock well played!
Creator playing woo have to see this game
|
Tunneling claws with no burrow?
|
Why would Leenock get his army trapped like that :s
|
It's time to bring out TheBest.
Edit: Fuck yes! This should be fun.
|
CreatorPrime bawsing his way through Leenock. Gogogogo Prime!
|
I hope TheBest does his patented banshee micro.

TheBest, my son, all your life you've been known as that guy who cheesed, or the guy that fucked up with the banshees, but not today, it's time to show Prime who truely is

Lol but just in time for TheBest :D

Creator should improve his unit control
It's his only weakness

Still has TheBest all ins around.
Stage 1 of the reverse all kill completed.
|
Ah well.. it seems defending all-ins is still a weakness of Creator
|
hm... I don't understand why I can't view the stream on here or twitchtv. Constantly gives me an error 2170.

SCV+Hellion all in, only TheBest.

TheBest playing like TheBest

lol, most anti-climatic ending :[

Bit of a lucky break for EG, but they should be able to hold their own with a great Korean line-up and some decent foreigners.

So sad that Mouz did not make it into the Premier League. They used to be the team league killers.

nice to see leenock able to defeat mkp.
creators weakness is his micro/multitask, i dont know why ppl hyped him up so much as if you watched his games you see that he isnt godly good like some other protoss
|
shame for TheBest
against any sort of greedy play he looks like a genius but i guess it wasn't to be
getting mentioned on stream made this boring evening much more interesting :D
