IPLMap Entombed Valley
The first map will be on a set rotation, and then it is loser's pick.

How can White-Ra lose if that's the picture you chose?
|
Those are tough matches to call. Could only bring myself to vote on the first one.
|
Kas should beat White-Ra, for the other matches I don't really have an idea, although I'd give Grubby a small edge.
Ret vs Demuslim is a battle of two players who take turns to look brilliant one day and then look terrible the next day, I can't predict which of their versions showed up when the match was played.
|
Come on GrubMuslim!
Grubby surely is the favorite.
Demuslim can beat Ret judging by the quality of play on ladder, and both of theirs perfomances online recently. Could go either way.

Great games All player that I generally like. Kas Whitera (I know they play against eachother) and Grubby fighting!
|
kas - whitera.. the match of the night!!
|
|
|
Go Grubby,Demuslim and White-ra
|
white-ra vs kas sounds promising. on the other hand, i havent heard a lot about ra the last few months, so im not sure if he's in good form.
|
That picture of White-Ra reminds me of James Bond with a Bond girl.

Its because it is. Ian Fleming made the character after White-ra. Originally the main character was called James "White-Ra" Bond but because of copyright infringement Ian Fleming had to go with just James Bond. True story
|
Socke, Demuslim and Kas are go!
|
White-Ra's picture makes me believe we shall see some awesomeness from our beloved Ukrainian today.
|
Haha boss picture of White-Ra!
Think Socke will somewhat upset vs Grubby (sadly), DeMu will take out Ret and White-Ra will crush Kas!
|
Haven't seen a build from Grubby like that in a long time
|
Haha classy White Ra pick.
|
Really cool build by Socke
|
Beautifully played by socke!
|
White-Ra such a boss on this pic! :D GOGO white-ra
|
|
|
|
|
Holy shit, that was so entertaining.
|
DeMu, Grubby and Kas.
White Ra just doesn't seem up to par to win against Kas.
|
|
|
Omg Grubby that was amazing!!!!
Micro legend
|
|
|
Grubby FTW, he is fucking amazing ... he will be GSL WC (or at least I hope so )

I hope he does also. And looking at the bracket he can make it but the problem is going to be Lucifron
Edit: God Ret. Why hatch first?
|
lol.. deja vu........ demu - idra game?!
|
|
|
|
|
Demuslim completely failed that
|
|
|
Hard to say who's playing this 2-rax the worst
|
United Kingdom50293 Posts
Good strategy by demuslim, wait for ret to defeat himself.
|
HE HAD NO MONEY FOR A SPINE, HE USED ALL HIS MONEY.
|
|
|
I think Ret could have hold that just if he stutter steps his lings while chasing. See many pros not do that, don't know why.
Or I might just miss it!
|
Will Ret go for 6 pool in Game 3? :D
|
i will laugh my ass off tho if demuslim does it again

Atrocious play by both
Ive gotta second that, both made some pretty terrible decisions making the "entire" game pretty tough to watch

Heh. LOL. Twice in a row was pretty awesome. I think it's either a third 11/11 or 1-rax double expand. Extreme cheese or extreme macro.
|
Lol he is going to do it again
|
|
|
|
|
lol.. demu is honoring/saying farewell to select I guess?!

He knows exactly what he's going to do, he can easily prepare a defence as long as ret controls this properly.
Congratulations on making the second round demuslim

Hahahah, took the words right out of my mouth. Only more eloquently.
|
lol ret what are you doing TT
|
One of the scrappiest series i've ever seen I think. What the fuck is Ret doing? Build 1 f'ing spine and you're fine. Holy crap...

THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO BEAT THE KOREANS THIS TIME GUYS.

The amount of times I've seen this from Ret... 
|
United Kingdom50293 Posts
Prediction for next match, white-ra pulls out special tactics and 4gates kas, kas does 11/11 then 1/1/1 kas goes to the next round.
|
Holy shit Ret. Reward for worst 2 rax defence ever in history of starcraft goes to Ret. And don't say you didn't had the practise
|
Wow who is this guy who is criticizing Demuslim's play?? There was plenty of style in that micro.
|
Easy peasy little cheesy. :3
|
Frank Fields looks a bit like Forst Whitaker by the way.
|
Why didn' he build a spine crawler when he scouted it?
I was hoping for longer games but gratz to DeMu

He did, it just didn't do shit because he attacked waaaaaaay too early.

In the 3rd game he made his spine really late, even when he had 300 mineral and a queen building he just attacked with his drones/lings instead of making spines and defending.

No he didn't. He had an Oh shit-moment where he realised he was in the same shitty position as the last games and then started building it, way too late to stop the cheese. If he had had it up when the shit arrived it would've been a free win.

How could he have an "oh shit-moment" when he scouted it really early?

Because he's a foreign zerg they have that kind of ability.
Lalush is the only non fan of white-ra.

lol way to piss on foreign zerg players. I can name like 10 zergs that would handle that situation with ease. 2012 haven't been good for Ret his win ratio is incredible bad and that got nothing to do with foreign zergs but everything to do with Ret

Lalush is just not a fan of human beings. It's nothing personal against the Ra.

I know that almost all foreign zergs can easily have dealt with it but I hate watching them so I prefer to alter my perception of reality to suit my distaste of them.
