4 BO1 1v1s on HotS Tournament Maps (Caster pick)

Losing Consequences:
Consqeuences will be decided via fan-vote on facebook (NASLTV on Facebook)
Man I really wanted Hyun and Ryung to both make it sucks they met in the round of 16.
Heart says Ryung, but head says Hyun. I think Violet can take Alicia, particularly with how scrappy the game against Vibe was. As much as I like Demuslim, Sen has shown in the last few weeks that's he's still world class. Arthur vs Golden, I want Arthur to win it, if only because he's apparently still teamless and it would be awesome for him.
viOLet 3-1 Alicia DeMusliM 1-3 SEn HyuN 3-1 Ryung Golden 2-3 Arthur
HyuN vs Ryung is definitely the main event of that day, and I think because the map pool favors Zerg so much, and that HyuN just looks so strong recently, he will take it.

I might be wrong, but it seems that Ryung-Hyun played their games a few days ago.
A short question btw: why is it that I can't watch any VODs of the wildcards? On twitch they are all processing since they've been played and on youtube there are only some of the Game ones watchable, the rest are on private and not watchable.

I hope Arthur can win, from what he told me, he doesn't even have a stable place to play SC2 since SlayerS disbanded, and he is having to play from PC Bangs
Demuslim has made the NASL final bracket three times in a row, but has been knocked out in the first round twice so far. Here's to hoping he can make a big run!

Of course he will play. He cannot fly atm, but that should hopefully be cured until next week.

Demuslim and Sen already played last weekend.
Are you sure? I only ask because this is your first post and I haven't heard of you.
On another note, if that is true...
Demuslim just tweeted: "Tonight I play Sen for NASL top 16 ! Go check out NASL.tv when it starts !! "

damnit just tuned in, could you do a quick recap?
Arthur attacked at the 4th base and aggressively blinked into Goldens broodlords twice. Golden didn't have enough support and Arthur was able to kill all the broods and take the game.
I really feel like no league has improved as much as the NASL. They had a very shaky start and the first couple of seasons were pretty bad but they've absolutely hit their stride.
Gretorp and Frodan are good, Mr. Bitter and Rotterdam are easily in the top tier of casting duos and Lauren Elise and Clutch are very solid presenters.
NASL is really goofy, fun and entertaining while also showcasing some really high level competition.
Dunno what you guys are whining about, she fits in nicely with NASL's style. More often than not I get laughs out of their interactions. If you think she is being completely genuine and serious with her remarks, please stop raging so hard because a girl is on a stream.
Lauren seems to be there only to bring some sexual thoughts to the minds of nerds watching. Is it fair to blame anybody if they wrote their thoughts here?
She is so into her role, tickles my tongue, fingers and all other body parts.
Hmm I'd love to see Demuslim advance here, if only to get as many Terran as possible to advance. Also, he recently beat viOLet in the IEM China (the one that got cancelled) qualifiers, so he could do it again.
Mind you, I imagine Sen would have a better chance against viOLet and may even be favoured.

I'm pretty sure it was half an accident where he was trying to repair the bunker and the scvs instead went inside, but either way it ended up working out.
Demuslim is clearly at the prime of his entire career so far. Its a great time for him to go to Korea, I really hope EG is the team participating in proleague, and specifically that demuslim goes and practices his heart out. He is such a nice guy, I can't tell you how much I'd LOVE to see him succeed and become a big name foreigner.
Wow, that was amazing, a 3-0! Go DeMuslim! Sad that I missed game 1 and some of game 3 but DeMuslim is just awesome. I really loved Game 2 on Daybreak too!
I guess looking at the replay, that was really really smart of Hyun to move those roaches in very small groups so he could focus the tanks down without taking tons of splash.
I'm just absolutely baffled that he managed to realize that he had the potential to kill Ryung there.

"Sieged up" with like 4-5 tanks....Ryung had like 20 hellions and 3 thors vs roaches. He got greedy with the banshee-hellion combo and didn't invest safely into tanks.

It is always a delicate balance between banshee/hellion vs tanks. If you do get a lot of tanks, yes, you are safe vs roaches. But without enough eco harass, the zerg will just get that BL/infestors army too fast and you are left with a lot of supply tied up in tanks.
