PLAYERS
About White-Ra:
One of the most popular Starcraft II players in the world, White-Ra, is known for his creativity and original playstyle, often referred to as “Special Tactics.” A fan favorite and crowd-pleaser in every event he plays in, we’re looking forward to seeing what the Grandpa-Toss is going to show us in this series!
About ABomB:
Hailing from the land of the leprechauns, ABomB is a relative new-comer to the Starcraft II spotlight. Having gained a lot of popularity for his creativity in Heart of the Swarm and his frequent use of multi-pronged attacks, ABomB has already proved himself a match for anybody in the beta. Expect wonky builds and multi-tasking skills from the mYinsanity player!

That awkward moment when ABomB's name doesn't fit in the title. Either way, I'm really looking forward to this event. Should be a great showmatch! I know ABomB is planning out some special tactics of his own.
|
"100€" instead of "100 Euro" and i might fit :D
|
Too bad you can't edit titles xD
|
Who would give money for a PvP showmatch?
Gogogo White Ra!
|
Yay ab's! He's my favorite ;P
Should be lots of fun based off of the NASL showmatch by Alexi today.
|
|
|
If there's no mothership core + nexus on a forward assault I'm going to be very upset
|
This looks nice!
Soo, how about a polish community stream? ;>
|

White-Ra looking really good in HotS so far. Looking forward to seeing what he's got up his sleeve for this showmatch!
|
PvP in the HotS beta is wicked interesting right now. Definitely going to tune in for this.

Dunno, the only thing I see on ladder right now are Blink Stalker all ins or people trying Stargate then die to Blink Stalker all ins. Or in my case trying out Blink Stalker expands (no verdict yet). MCore providing detection (vs DT) and high ground vision (for harassment / blink ups) means going Robo will not really do too much for you, and because Stargate is a bit more common now Blink Stalkers are probably the best opener anyway, and very versatile.
I hope I'm wrong, I'll take a good look at the strategies used in this showmatch :-)

going to be Interesting, WhiteRa looked strong vs Ret at the NASL HOTS showmatch
me is hopoing for game 7 
|
Suddenly I want a mYi energy drink
|
Saw White-Ra play HoTs yesterday and it was pretty damn funny! That medivac booster upgrade fits his harras perfectly with mutiple drops. Will be fun to watch this broadcast
|
MAJOR Shout out to mYi for letting us broadcast this, it's going to be awesome!
|
|
|
Is there any information on Abomb (besides being Irish)? Obviously, we all know who White-Ra is (and probably consider him the heavy favorite), but I'm curious about his opponent. Is Abomb a new pro-gamer? Is he on a team or sponsored? Is he GM on a certain server for WoL too? TLPD has him as generally unknown, and he doesn't exist on Liquipedia. Thanks

ABomB is in the SC2 Team of mYinsanity, he take part at the ESET UK Masters, where he made it into the Grand Final, lost there against Socke and Krass.
At the last HomeStory Qualifier he was able to beat Giantt.
He also won the Butterlan, a local LAN in Switzerland.
Currently living in the mYi Teamhouse, he will go to Northcon this Weekend.
I expect a lot from him, hes a great Player, nice lad and a horrible driver :D
|
DarkPlasmaBall: ABomB is currently contracted to mYinsanity. While he is now easily GM level in WoL, and was able to compete pretty well at the ESET UK Masters two weeks ago, he hasn't reached GM in Wings. He's focused on HotS full time for a couple of months and is pouring all of his effort into that game at the moment ^^
Also, his driving causes terrible, terrible damage.

Could also try some of the hots community maps out there (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=384237). Can't wait to see some of these being used

Indeed he did! Mutiple drops everywhere and sometimes banshees mixed in. Micro-intensive and really fun too watch. Even when he was behind, he won on basis of out micro the oppenent i guess. Grindin' the win. Watching that was an evening well spend^^
I hope he plays terran more, he was so aggresive...
Edit : Im seriously doubtin i saw demuslim or White-ra as terran atm.. excuse me, mind got mixed up:/

pretty sure he was high masters in WoL before he switched to HotS and he is top gm there now but I dont think it means much with how little good players actually laddering hardcore on it
source: played him before he switched to Hots on a regular basis (ladder)
|
abomb was just below GM in WoL, regurarly upsetting a lot of progamers in cups/ladder
since protoss is OP in HotS, he is now top5 in the world
|
nkr go back to your own country plz
