MC vs Taeja 
A nice rematch of their close Ro8 meeting but this time I have a feeling it won't be close at all.

taeja just improves too fast though MC might be able to blink + obs his way to victory..
|
Targa 2-0 Vibe 2-0 Sheth 2-1 (my upset pick!) Taeja 2-0
I think that MC will do some 2 base cute stuff o.O But Taeja is too strong.
|
Targa Vibe (though I hope it's 2-1) Sheth Taeja
|
Get hyped, all y'all. Really hoping that MC manages to take this and show that he's still a monster! :D

TaeJa is the favorite but I think it'll be at least close. I say we will see three games with TaeJa taking it 2-1, TaeJa in online tournaments just isn't fair most of the time.
|
Yeah for sure, but a lot of people have been writing off recently, and his elo is no longer that high, he fell straight out of his GSL Ro32 group a while earlier, etc etc 
And yeah, he's for sure the underdog against Taeja but it would be nice if he could take this series :>
|
|
TargA 1-2 HwangSin ViBe 2-0 Bischu Sheth 0-2 Ryung TaeJa 2-1 MC
Oz 0-2 HyuN
Liquid Juggernaut vs Protoss President will be good
|
NASL people!! I made an odds system for betting on NASLbot. What should I do with it?
|
|
A bit sad I couldn't talk in chat without a subscription! The worst part of being a poor student. But I'd have to say it was some pretty fun pregame entertainment. I'd enjoy some more HOTS beta thoughts from the root guys aswell.
Props to becoming so much better since season 1, just wanted to say good job to the production crew and all the casters.
|
Why do you have to put the best three games on last, it's getting late for some of us T_T
I'll just play fifa til they start. Been watching SC2 since MCSL earlier today, so I'm a bit worn out.
|
MC vs TaeJa!!! I can't wait, hoping for MC to win!
|
Guess so, but it's nice to save the supposedly best games for last 
Wouldn't be fun for the best games to be first, and then everyone leaves for the last few series. Of course, people can come on and off as they wish, but it's still nice to save the best/most hyped for last~

Well, Hyun does it again. That guy keep winning everything he touch.

Oz certainly lost 0-2.

Almost as good as MVP ability to win and Bomber ability to lose.

You never talk about PvP.

Nice performance by HwangSin, taking out TargA who had been doing well in the group

I swear this happened before to HyuN last week versus Zenio. I think Gretorp favored Zenio over HyuN, and HyuN dominated Zenio in one-sided games. People always underestimate HyuN, and then start to realize he is an absolute monster.

Immortal are goooood
You need spines against that kind of push Europeans zergs with the obviously " I'm BM but i'm not" at the end of game is annoying too.
|
I'm really starting to like Hwansin's play
|
Wow, HwangSin did pretty good.
|
|
Just tuned in. I see a girl humping the ground. wtf.

He can't do single stalker blinks. Doesn't work with run down micro used by zergs against pure blink stalker.

No blink micro... might as well do earlier mass stalkers-no blink timing.

Vibe has come so far since S1
|
Its true Vibe deserves much more recognition. Best American player.

GG Vibe! Doing great this season!
|
Yeah ! I wanted to see MC vs Taeja anyway xD

Jesus christ this game is so good already
|
This game is already crazy. Love it.
|
OMG MC with a prepared build but urghhhh Taeja reacting well of course, I think MC knows he needs to try something special :/ hella entertaining already though :3
|
First time I see scvs loaded into command center of actual use in pro-game.
|
HOLY SHIT!
I think MC really has a good shot here!!
But cloaked banshees incoming and MC.... DDD:
BUT MC!!! SO FAR AHEAD IN WORKERS!!
|
Reminds of when MC knocked out Taeja, MC using lots of pressure against Taeja's greed
|
Taeja is playing this mindblowingly good
|
But omg MC's build was so good yet Taeja is still catching up :///
|
|

At the same time though, urggghhh MC backing off now means that he will be behind in tech, upgrades, and soon to be in econ, plus Taeja's amazing lategame.... not using his army advantage 
Come on, ride it to a win :O
Yesss sweet play from MC.
|
This game is so sick, what a crazy retreat by MC
|
|
I'm liking this game so far. MC is so fun to watch.
|
I cant believe this game is still going, crazy great decision making by both!
edit: On that note, I can't believe how low the responses are on the LR; this series is amazing.
|
That game was so high level
|
GEE GEEE!!!
Fantastic play on both sides, and MC takes this shit fuck yeah :D

Well played by both sides

Great game, clearly top of the top of their respective races

MC & TaeJa so good. MC is a beast. And credit to TaeJa too for making that a much closer fight that it has any right to be.

almost, hahahaha NASL is so fun, really liking it

Wow....MC just got fucking raped there .__.
He's actually quite behind overall too :\

Taeja's bank is absurd. Been maxed for so long.
|
Argggh MC not really ahead in anything at the moment, really should take a 5 so he can do the crazy protoss remax.
|
Two solid games so far. Not disappointed.
|
Man, MC vs Taeja is so awesome. I see people complaining about TvP all the time, but these games are sick.
|
Oh hot dayuummm I thought MC was screwed but he clawed he way even.
This is seriously PvT at the highest level. Usually you see one advantage build into an insurmountable lead, or one big win in a battle leading to an easy steamroll, but these guys just aren't letting up.
|
ARRRGH. No way MC wins this now.
|
MC can't afford to trade with Taeja right now...
|
At this point I can't see MC winning now though, way behind in every possible way
|
|
MC doesn't have a bank, only 5 bases
|
holy smokes this game is so good
|
|
dude Taeja late game is just so methodical
|
|
This game is incredible...
|
That was all Taeja needed. Traded armies three times and finally his bank wins out.
|
HOLY SHIT MC survives, but at this point Taeja's bank .___.
|
oh my god, just end the game This is painful to watch T_T
|
even though taeja wins, this game is somehow disgusting from the terran point of view. absolutely impossible to break a toss lategame military-wise. only possibility to win a tvp lategame is by complete and utter defeat of the opponent in terms of economy....
|
teaja is out of minerals too, he should have drain out the mid bases with mules already, he has the map for like 10 minutes by now
|
I'm not liking the nukes. He is dropping 2 on nothing. If he just used one it would be nearly as effective in most situations.

If we're using this game as an argument, then clearly the only way to win pvt is to lose your army over and over and hope the T runs out of money first too.

holy shit how did mc have storms to land?
|
this series is so great
|
I'm glad MC held that attack, because now we get to see BCs.
|
Taeja almost went full Taeja there. Good thing he was way ahead.

Why didn't MC expand earlier

How is MC still alive after all that!!!!

why people don't play safe against MC... you are never safe.

I love watching greed get punished
|
Gah. Think Taeja could have held that with maybe more active scvs ? >< GSL next anyway
edit: Besides taeja's greed to go fact instead of +2 rax, would a terran skip the second bunker because of the risk a toss goes into a parting style 1gate fe -> 3 base? ( I thought the expo in that style goes down sooner).
|
|
Don't understand why Taeja continued to tech up after scouting a potential 4 gate....
Taeja deserved that loss unfortunately

Well played by MC, he knows that Taeja almost always goes for greed in the third set And Taeja should've thrown down those raxes instead of trying to tech

siege tank shuts down a lot of aggressive pushes, but 4 gate is not one of them, it hits too early.

|

Oh Clutch...you so crazy!
|
Why...
Taeja saw 2 gas. Then he scanned and saw 4 gate. Then just before he leaves exp he dropped another bunker on top of his ramp.
Why don't you just built 2 more bunkers? Whyy...

I wanted both (Taeja and MC) to win, but I wanted taeja to win more cause I had a good joke to say: "AHA! TAEJAVUE!"

MC's somewhat predictable in these spots IMO. He was always going to go for some aggressive all in type build following game 2. I'm surprised Taeja wasn't better prepared--particularly given he scouted the early double gas.
