can't wait ^^!
mini HSC inc? ; )

Will you be flying players from KR and US and paying their expenses? Because if not, I don't see who could be able to spend that money for a tournament with not small, but not that big prize money for it being worth it.
Anyways, I was hoping that you will starting to do something like this tournament, good luck [:

What on earth made you think that this is the world's first? lol
Cool tournament though! I don't think there will be many absolute top players coming there because of the small prizepool, but I'm sure a lot of mid tier European pros who live in/near Poland will come.

Is there any other house like this, with coach and shit? Nope. GOM is just a place to live and play in Korea, and team houses are restricted. There are also a lot of tournaments nearby in Europe so people might come.

Very happy to see imba.tv casting this! miss uuuu
|
Snute, Are you still at MoW home ? Or maybe you finished adventure with MoW ? And what about Cyto ?
|
|
Thanks for Anwser
|
Can I sign up for the EU qualifiers as a NA player? Or is it EU only?
|
You can join EU qualifiers but if your opponent is from EU you have to play on that server. That's all. Ofc if bot players are from NA you are free to play on that region

What's up with the stream? Some delay or event was canceled?
|
So Snute is invited directly into the main tournament, yeah?
Courting that lucrative Norwegian market share? ^^
|
Free Sushi at the Event :D
|
Link to the bracket? PLease?
|
how to signup for qualifiers?
|
You cant yet. First qualifier will start 4th august. We will keep you informed. everything will be at outplayed.net, I will run all the social channels soon so you can follow everything.
|
Battle at Ministry of Win: get outPlayed with 5000USD prizepool is coming. Now, you can sign-up to the first qualifier!
Want to compete with some of the best players in the world? Sign-up for the tournament now. http://www.outplayed.net/
|
Yeah they need to up the prize pool I think, that's a drawn out format for such small winnings.
|
We are working on it... soon!
|
Ah. Some people should be a bit more grateful, especially with DIY tournament organizers. There was a time not too long ago that players and fans would be more than overjoyed for a chance at a $5,000 online tournament, nevermind an offline event.
|
|
Gogo Snute! *screamin like a fanboiii*
|
|
some good players already there, nice
|
You still have a chance to register. Gogo!
|

Ok... people. We had some problems and I'm the only one to blame. Our servers were DDoS-ed by some... nasty guys. We weren't able to block him for good and the page went down. I'm VERY, VERY sorry! Hoping for all of you to be at the next qualifier when we will have everything working!
|

|
At 1st qualifier we had ImbaTv. They didn't showed up at the second one but we will have more qualifiers in the upcoming weekend ant they should be streaming it. So stay tuned, you can followe me on facebook (/outplayednet) or MoW, we will be posting it before the event.
|

GL to all.
|
Nerchio vs Sjow right now on stream.
|
|
Is this an actual LAN, with all 32 players attending?
|
Oh god, this English stream is terrible... Only thing I can hear from caster is "eeee" "yyyyy" and sluttering.

Are there any brackets for this up?
|

|
|
Why are so many players missing? What happened?
(7 players have decided not to participate: Tara, Hazed, desRow, evaner, dana, dayshi and kaito)

My plane ticket was 500$ more expensive to attend the event =( 1700$ instead of 1200$ so I decided to arrive next week and miss the tour =/

That was a weird TvZ, what is the level of the players? (it did not look like a progame to be honest)

Don't forget Ret and Snute, they should do fine. Also Tarson stepped up his game lately, so I would recommend watching his games, also he's terran :D
|
There are some decent players:p Indeed Snute, Tarson, Indy, Ret, Paranoid, Krr can fight for third place:p But Sage and Nerchio are like 10 lvls higher:p
|
This female caster is a BEAST. Like seriously she is good.
|
who is the guy with the blond hair? why is he such a fuzer fanboy cO

Well, she is rets girlfriend. But i gotta agree She never talked too much on rets stream. At least not about strategy and gameplay. They have also casted some games together in the past (for example at homestorycup, i think).
But i havent seen her cast without ret yet. This time, the cast actually relies on her. No ret here to overshadow her. And she is doing awesome
So keep it up, retsGirlfriend. And maybe say your name from time to time, so we dont have to call you retsGirfriend all the time;) Great job!

Okay, this has me utterly confused, why is Ret so damn grumpy. 
The polish lads trying but shes definitely carrying this event. Good on camera, very natural and seems to be getting more confident as it runs. Game knowledge seems good, shes better than a lot of casters we're regularly exposed to (she isn't even drooling‼). Bigger tourneys should definitely look to hire her ( assuming she's interested ).

lol mostevil :D
she is really happy you guys like her casting..she's always wanted to do more it's just hard in the sc2 community
|
liquid ret and his awesome girlfriend audrey go to an event. Audrey works much harder than ret, its funny cauz its true :D
|
yea casting of Audrey was good, I liked it
|
Hoping to see Audrey cast more events in the future! ^_^
|
Nerchio, Sage and Diestar in the same group:p
|
These guys definitely dont have the viewership they deserve. Not quite up to homestory cup quality but its a nice start.

Netherlands4511 Posts
Group A : Snute, Tarson, Uzer, Zylcu, Group B : Fuzer, Ret, Krr, Gandi Group C : Indy, Matiz, Forte, Paranoid Group D : Nerchio, Sage, Diestar, Pal
|
is the 2nd group stage today?
|
|
You can do this Jos!
Really happy that Audrey is enjoying herself and that people that dont regularly check Ret´s stream can see how much SC knowledge she has!
|
Is there a schedule or something?
|
So...when are they starting?
|
I think Fuzer has a good chance of winning this.

Fuzer always has a good chance 8)
|
Ret vs Fuzer in 5 minutes, grab a drink, some food and get ready!
|
corvid reactor and building armor... trololol.
|
Standard Fuzer.
|
is Fuzer trolling, 2 port raven and 6cc build?????
|
fuzer is such a troll haha
|

He won with the 2rax, he could be doing pretty much anything at that point and win :p
A diamond player could win vs ret at that point.
|
|
auto turret with building armor take 2 damage from lings
|
Why did ret continue to make corruptor bl?
|
Hahah, Fuzer has such a cheeky style.
|
hmmmm I don't think I've ever seen a zerg win once a decent number of ravens get out
|
LOL, how is Z supposed to beat that?
I guess Fuzers style is pretty strong on maps that can be split effectively (Metropolis, Daybreak)
|

3/3 mech with raven support and planetaries spread across the map like they were creep tumors, and the terran had a firm foothold of half the map.
TvZ has always been easier for the terran once the game goes to split map.

this girl is rly nice to listen to, she should cast more

But ultra swich is nothing new vs air terran. Stephano was doing it at last MSI final vs supernova. Well, Ret is reading this forum so he will says himself what was wrong. I'm just telling you guys my opinion.
|
Krr won against Gandi 2-1 tho
|
|
Zedd is doing pretty good with English casting. This tournament improves all the time:p
|
i actually love the casting! Pandii is doing a great job

Great:p And which game? I just checked your Twitter Ret:p It's really great to see you're trying to promote MoW so hard. I'm glad they took you to the house (and I wasn't happy about it before P)

Netherlands4511 Posts
diestar vs nerchio it looks like
|
Netherlands4511 Posts
errr nope Paranoid vs Forte and Paranoid vs Matiz (ZvZ)
|
zerg 1 1 1 makes a lot of sense actually.
|
Remember to follow Ret on twitter at @LiquidRet for awesome casting!
|
the reason why terran 1 1 1 is called it cauz the banshee tank and marine compliment each other rly well forcing ur enemy to balance 3 units. If u count static defense as a counter to baneling then technically ur opponent has to balance 3 units to counter roach bane ling.
|
In response to the request for feedback on casting in English, it's been fine honestly. Enjoying watching.
|
they are very enthusiastic which is better than most english ones who dont seem to have that much passion, but it seems they are diamond or lower players.
|
Gratz Nerchio! Those were some awkward interviews too, holy shit lol
