|
|
Holy crap that's a lot of money.
|
|
|
Hmmm SC2 and DotA2 getting priority, nice
Looks like it will be pretty awesome! I'd kinda like to see Tribes:Ascend over BF3 tho
|
|
|
|
|
Always good to have new events.
Best of luck!
|
Cool deal! good luck with your event!
|
that s awesome, a kinda starcraft 2 focused tournament
hoping for great players
|
Another Swedish based awesome tournament? no way! X)

You do realise that the name Thursday comes from Norse and it being Thor's Day, right? I think Odin's Day became Wednesday, and Freya's Day is Friday, not sure about the others.
|
Fragbite and CDON fighting! gogo esports
|
Holy mackanaw awesome! Will be watching this forsure!
|
I'm actually surprised the SC2 prize pool is higher than the team based games, considering that they need to split the money between multiple persons. That said, I'm definitely looking forward to this
|

This looks good. Very nice prize pool as well
|
Yay! More Swedish tournaments! It's also nice to have the qualifiers during Gamex (A Swedish gaming expo) and DH:Winter!
Now, I'm wondering how E-Sport SM could top this...
|
Well this was a very nice surprise. Very much looking forward to this
|
this will be awesome! fun with some new tournaments from sweden

This sounds like really good news for the swedish esport scene. Nice to have a qualifier on DH Winter aswell.
|
|
|
Nice distribution of prize money among the games. SC2, CS, and Dota 2 at the top where they belong.
|
So much for so little. Looks to be a pretty sweet tournament and I like the prize pool and the distribution of it.
|
ThorZaIN better win this one..
|
pretty awesome way to start your own event.
|
how do u sign up for qualifier ?

Thanks a lot CDON and Fragbite! This is gonna be amazing, and with a frickin 600k prize pool, I'll just thank you on part of both Dota and SC2. Can't wait. :D
|
Battlefield 3? Looking forward to seeing one of those tournaments, as well as CS:GO and SC2 of course.

Wednesday was derived from the name Wotan (which is Odin) and I believe friday was actually frigga's day

that is a crazy prize pool
im glad bf3 and cs go are in it though, kinda funny they have LoL and DOTA then bf3 and cs go in the event seeing as they are "rivals?"kinda sorta no?
w/e im here for the starcraft

Sunday is the day of the sun.
Monday is the day of the moon.
Tuesday is the day of Tyr.
Wednesday is the day of Odin
Thursday is the day of Tor
Friday is the day of Freja
And saturday is the day of saturn.

Nice, definitely going to check it out!
|
great news cant wait to watch streams
|
hmmmm the price pool is..... interesting.
|

|
Sick new tournament. Looking forward to it.
|
It's great to see two new eSports sponsors! (to my knowledge)
|
where will this be held???

How does one go about qualifying for the Fifa 13 tournament?
|
holy big event. i want to watch cs:go most out of that list.
|
As awesome as this sounds, if there are no good casters, it will get little viewers. Viewers watch sc2 to hear entertaining casters 75% and the rest are games players production etc
|
Looks like Im gonna have to start using CDON instead of my current swedish based online media website!
|
Nice, Kista is 5-10 min walk from my house so will definitively check it out and maybe try playing. :D
|
Nice to see CDON getting in on some of this business. They've actually had some of the best prices on video games in Sweden, which was a complete suprise to me.
|
Good job, I wanna see more of these!
|
Suprised to see Fragbite sponsor, pleasantly suprised I must say.
I like the name also! ^^

Depends on how many "extra" slots is needed. Since there is 8 times in total to qualify we wont be adding another 64 slots just for 4-5 players.

Wow, this looks amaxing. Literally every game I would be interested in watching... minus LoL perhaps :3

Since the first qualifer is already 90% full with a week to go you can probably easily fill another 64 spots.

Sounds awsome, wonder what palyers are in it.
|
This is great news, go go Loda Fighting? ;b
|
All things considered I'm assuming that online qualifiers are restricted to EU accounts only, but I find it embarrassing that they can't state that anywhere. Literally not even on the website that supposedly has all the details. Is it really that hard to mention something like that that's kind of important? Just a little bit maybe?
Aside from that, looks to be a pretty damn good tournament.

We haven't fully decided if all the qualifiers will be on the EU server but we will update when we have made our decision.
Sorry for not deciding this beforehand

Maybe you should think about changing the dates of some qualifiers? I really want to qualify but there is only 4 chances left with online qualies and like 3 are during major tournaments: 21st october is during DH bucharest, 17-18 november is WCS World and late november IPL5 so qualifier December 2nd is so-so too.

Interesting to see, that Bly signed up; is he playing directly from DH?

Starts in 5 minutes. Is there a proper bracket or am I just sucky at working the BB one?
Edit: Postponed an hour?
|
|
|
|
|
Is there any english stream?
|
Don't think so. Only Polish, Swedish and French listed.

Hoping for KrasS and roof

Thanks for the bracket. Shit, HyuN is in. :D

Kind of weird that the prizemoney are bigger for SC2 than LoL, eventhough LoL is so much bigger than SC2. But I'm sure there's some idea behind it.

The hosting companies probably like one game for some reason I really can´t possibly imagine like one of the games better.

LoL isn't that big in Sweden, compared to SC2 which is on national TV for Esport SM and Dreamhack

The esport community in sweden is very elitist, there are more SC2 fans in it than LoL. People prefer Dota 2 and HoN over LoL.

nice game by LucifroN so far

Impressive by lucifron, good macro, good upgrades, good activity on the map and good positioning in the fights. Looks much improved from his bio-play a month ago.

its only i who can't open brackets link ? (

Doesn't work for me neither. I wonder where you can find the red one that I've seen some of the casters use.

It looks like HyuN is lagging like hell. He plays way worse than he usual does.

You dont actually, somebody just accidently linked to the "join" part and that's what we've been using. I made the same mistake :D
If you delete the "/join#brackets" we get to go straight to the bracket ^^

Anyone else having a 'loop' error on these bracket links? I think there might be some wrong redirecting of pages.. like page A sends to page B who sends to page A and that thing in a loop..

Lucifron vs Kas has started woop-woop!

Is there no english stream for a tournament with such a large prize pool?

Great move by Kas with that hero marine force. Saved the game for him.

Nice micro from both! Still, gogo kas!

Sick game. Medivacs are sooooo good.

If CDON would've gotten some decent casters, official stream, and a bit better promotion I could've totally expected this to have 4-5k viewers.

lol, sometimes kas so stupid ...

he had to meet the army in the middle, after the siege it was gg.. but yeah, no scouting

I got a buffer-into-commercial screen for Luci/Kas. Last I saw Kas held off a tank marine attack at his natural but it didnt look like the game was about to end. Who won?

GGs, Kas! Good split when breaking the siege position although the marine drop thingy in the middle of that was a bit questionable. :D
Thanks, AlternativeEgo.

Kas won, he walked over to Luci's base and killed him, Lucifron had lost too much in the previous fight and he caught some units out of position, too.

Ah thanks a lot StarVe. Go Kas!

Your loss. I'm staying for the potential Zanster cred-points. "Yeah I know about him. Solid ZvP and crappy ZvZ. We're talking Protosser ZvZ level here" Edit: Kas vs Dimaga at 18:00 tomorrow How did he beat Bly then?^^
Meh, I didn't know about that (damn you crappy bracket). I'm gonna ignore that one and stick with my story.

Tight 37 minute game. Kas 1-0 Dimaga
Missed the second game but it seems like it was short and sweet. 2-0
3rd game ended in the 13th minute after Dimaga sent in a big ling/bling wave.

The fuck?! I'm rocking a bunch of streams which causes some lag (and minor confusion) but did Kas really win that one? Sweet! ..I guess that explains why the stream went down. xD

Haha, yeah. It looked dire for Kas, but dimaga wasted a lot of banelings on buildings and never touched anything but the third. Kas got out tanks and had banshees tearing up the main and natural of Dimaga.

SICK RUN by kas.
Taking out Dimaga,protosser,johnny reeeco,lucrifon,krass...
congratz !

Is ther any chance to get replays from the finals?

Apollo, Semmler & Adebisi will be doing starcraft2, with 2GD hosting.
Seems like Nerchio gets Sage's spot who went back to korea. Nerchio placed 2nd in that qualifier.
should be a fun event!
|
So we have Kas, VortiX, Snute and Nerchio as title contenders, looking at the concentration of top Zergs it's likely that Kas won't win so it will probably be another win for the swarm.

man that prize payout is brutal, 1st place gets 71% of the pool.

This is going to be a sick tournament! Wasn't gonna bother watching NASL anyway, but this looks so much better.
Kas vs Nerchio in the finals für that big prizepool would be epic.

It seems Bischu was banking on Kas doing a moderate response. A 4 rax -> SCV marine all-in would have killed Bischu. A 4 CC followup would not be punishable at all. The only thing Bischu could really deal with was a timid pushout with a single CC behind and no fast medivac, siege or banshee.

Kas had 2 medivacs and their marines in Bischu's main while Bischu's army was in Kas' natural. Kas move commands his marines to the natural, but Bischu attacks with probes on the ramp so Kas' marines just stand there while taking fire from probes, a few stalkers and cannons in the natural. He saves 5 in a medivac which is immediately taken down by the stalkers he chooses to fly over.

Bischu proxied a gateway at where the wall off would be for kas.
He immediately threw down a forge and core when it was over and got two cannons up, established his natural and went into standard.

Ah, I have some foggy memories of seeing him do this once, but I'm not quite sure.

I dont know, I could just not see anything in Kas' play. No early 3rd to take advantage of the failed DTs. No early double upgrade. Yet not a strong enough push to break a lone colossi with some ground support. Then eventually moving 100+ army supply back into main to deal with 6 zealots and lose his 4th in the process, plus not remaking SCVs to random zealot/storm harassment (I was watching prod tab). Also no drops anywhere. Kas didnt really deserve better that game.

Everything he does happens for a reason, I wouldn't be too quick to judge. I feel it's very confusing to play against protoss at the moment, you have to scout and assume a lot and you are not given so many informations. Oddly a player that practices a lot might face more difficulties in this matchup as terran than one that doesn't practice as much but makes blind decisions.

True, but still - compare it to TSL 4 for example, which had 15 much bigger qualifiers and a 32-player main tournament, with 16k for the winner.
All i'm saying is that the winner will be a happy boy

Yeah, very good series! Now harstem and kas have to win their next matches!

France12771 Posts
I don't think that Kas can qualify because of maps W/L. Maybe if he beats Nerchio 2-0?
|
if he wins 2-0, he s through
if he wins 2-1 and harstem 2-0, he s through (or tiebreaker at the very least as i don't know their rules..)

Okay. Btw the stream seems weirdingly fluid, is it 60fps?

I hope Kas and Nerchio put up an awesome TvZ  (no matter that Nerchio is already through the group stage  ).

I always hated to be put against PoYo on ladder because he plays mech but I'm glad that he is up 1-0 against Snute!

4 siege tanks for 6-7 infestors ? :O

7 scv's at once, that's been awhile..

as usual snute throws away infestors all game long for little gain, had 2 left for the main battle at 25 minutes lolol

Kas can still qualify, and PoYo isn't really a top terran so him losing isn't that much surprising.
The patch doesn't fix the design issues of nowadays TvZ but it seems to help the terrans, or maybe it's just that the zergs haven't adapted to the new range yet and suicide their infestors a little too much.

Looking at that match it does appear snute hasn't quite adapted to the reduced range, he still sends out his infestors a bit too forward to what would use to be a fungal but now just makes him eat tank fire.

Snute lost more than 10 infestors throwing beachballs and getting scanned for no apparent reason.

Yeah I guess that's why it was so close. We will really see the effects of the patch in one month or two with koreans players.
Right now it makes for more interesting groupstages, since upsets can now happen in TvZ (and maybe PvZ too, didn't watch the games)!

12 minute zergling speed, nerchio feeling the heat of the destroyer of worlds

lawl... didn't expect kas to win that :p

Bischu up 1-0 over Harstem!

Wait, they're not just playing TDA but actually the old version of the map?

This GG timing from Kas...

getting 100 scvs on 4 bases after his gigantic lead wasnt very good for kas

i think it doenst matter
nerchio has the top half of the map

It's a damn good unit, "underwhelming" or not. :D

Can't remember when a terran has stayed in a game this long against broods. Looks promising!

Semi Finals:
Vortix - Bischu
Nerchio - Snute
I'd be very surprised if Bischu beats Vortix.
Snute vs Nerchio is very close, seeing as Snute beat Life and Stephano in ZvZ recently, but lost vs Vortix today

If nerchio switches it up, I doubt he will lose to snute. And yeah, I would also favor vortix vs bischu but the guy plays on his homeground so he might go berzerk.. you never know!
