Scarlett is going to take this 4-1
|
I BELIEVE IN CHAD MOTHERFUCKING JONES!
|
gogo CHAD MOTHERFUCKING JONES!
|
4-2 Scarlett is too powerful
|
I love Minigun but... sorry, man. Scarlett 4-1.
|
OUCH. easy 4-0, but good luck taking a map off Scarlett, Minigun! I love Mini.
|
Just like last time 4-3 gogo, I dont care who wins, they're both awesome.
|
4:0 Scarlett lol, she's way too good especially at ZvP
|
|
|
haha funny people voting "too close to call".
|
Man that mappool... all of the ladder six. Only the wildcard map is kinda new.
Now that we are in 2013 do playhem have any major plans to shuffle with the map pool? Anything new will do really, Kespa maps, GSL heck even the ladder maps recently added by Blizzard would be fine.
But please stop using a map pool whose age we started complaining about 5 months ago.
|
This will be an interesting showmatch! Both players have some interesting styles and can't wait to see what kinds of games it gives us

CHAD M JONES
Scarlett is really good though.
|
Lets go Chad Big Bones Jones! Will be tough ...
|
5-0 Scarlett (yes, i know its Bo7)
|
chad motherfucking jones!!!
|
chad motherfuckingrichard jones
|
oh shit. This gunna be a sick showmatch =D GLGLGL!
I predict a series with VERY LONG games. Both of these players tend to rarely cheese and always try to take it to the late, laaate game.
|
CHAD BIG BONES JONES, WILL PROBABLY UNFORTUNATELY LOSE TO SCARLETT, BUT WILL BE SICK GAMES.
User was warned for this post
|
|
|
Sorry Minigun, I like you but you're going down. Hard.
|
I feel like i've already seen 10 of these on ladder 
|
Scarlett vs Minigun was cooler when it was streamed first-person and had only pride and ladder points on the line
I think Scarlett wins 4-2 but I hope they are good close games.
|
who the fuck is chad richard jones
|
I like how everyone says "CHAD MOTHERFUCKING JONES" and first guy to say "Chad BIG BONES Jones" gets a warning LOL so funny

Because of all-caps, not big bones. :v
Anyway, this series looks to be in Scarlett's favor. Minigun can definitely put up a stalwart defense, but Scarlett should have a reasonably decisive series on her hands. 4-2 Scarlett is my guess.
|
Chad Motherfucking Jones! I support you with all my heart...
But you're probably going to get stomped by Scarlett

Somebody please, please, *please* tell me why people call Minigun 'mofo'.

I think destiny started calling him that on stream at one point.
(Root)ing for Minigun of course, such a sick player!
|
broodlord/infestor anyone? :D
|
Mad bro-love the motherfucking Chad, but he's up against it here. I think his best chance is some funky timing and some straight up cheese.
|
YESSS PLAYHEM WOOOOO
Scarlett will prob win
why do they put on calDeum

Chad "enter your funny observation here" Jones and Scarlett will provide us with some top of the class macro games. No doubt about it. It's a win win situation for everyone involved. 
|
You got this Chaddy boy. i bereeeeve in youuuuu
|
gogo chad we believe! warpprism harass all the way!
|
minigun streaming ladder pvz made me play the game again.
Will be great games, rooting for Chad!
|
Scarlett has to be the clear favourite, but I think Minigun will take a game or two.
|
ahhhhh! two of my favorite players that i've known for so long... will be a fun series regardless of who wins ^_^
|
|
|
conan won't stop going on about how good minigun is but scarlett is top na zerg IDK WHERE TO PUT MY MONEY
|
Haven't seen Minigun play in a while, so I suppose anything is possible! Scarlett has been very strong lately, though, so it's probably gonna be an uphill battle for him.
|
scarlett 4-0 ez, unless minigun gets lucky with a good all in or cheese
|
casters will be myself and probably unctious
|
Don't like miniguns chances here at all, even tho he's best na toss on ladder, he will have to rely on sentry immortal to squeeze out wins imo
Lots of long macro games to be had im sure

Minigun's late-game PvZ is excellent, so this could be an interesting match.
|
rooting for minigun, but i predict 4-2 scarlett
|
Wonderful to see a female play this well. Going the be awesome!
|
Exciting show match. Scarlett should take it
|
I'm not sure its going to get to daybreak.
I predict Scarlett breaking Minigun over her knee like a little twig, and maybe dropping a game.
|
I hope there will be VODs?
|
|
|
Go Scarlett! Might be easy for her, but she will make it entertaining.
|
CHAD BOUT TO MOTHERFUCK YOUR BIG BONES LOL. 4-3 CHAD WOOOO
|
Scarlett I love you please win and then hug me
|
CHAD JONES, AW YEAH.... LOOK AT THAT CREEP SPREAD>.. CHAD JONES MF
|
Oh snap, killed a lot of Infestors and a base there.
|
Too many archons in the bottom vortex, not enough in the top. T.T
|
scarlett very clearly trolling
|
this is what happens when broodlords are only 4 supply
|
Just go fucking kill him, jesus
passive zvp is the worst ;__;
|
|
|
I'm listening to iTG and only watching this without sound, but now it's audio-only =(
anyway, scarlett trolling hard i think
|
if you watch from scarlett's position it's pretty clear she isn't trolling
|
|
|
|
|
First time I've ever seen a Protoss exceed a Zerg in workers 0_o
|
There's just something wrong about fungal working on interceptors.

Carriers are the most expensive unit in the game thanks to their tendency to die

Scarlett must be so frustrating to play against. Mass infestor/BL/corrupter over spores and spines T_T

Yeah. Even if you don't factor in any damage done to interceptors due to corrupter or infested terran, 3 fungal or 1 storm kills an interceptor.

She plays the most frustrating style of Zerg ever, good for her since it's a great strat to win, but hard to watch.
Though she is close to my fav Zerg player with Leenock.

not sure if serious or just playing for very long games... i feel like each of these two games could have been half as long

Metropolis sort of makes sense, and CK can create some pretty long games.

I believe there is a greater chance at longer games between opponents that have frequently practised against each other.

This is silly. Scarlett does the same thing every single game. Minigun has no idea to play vs BL/Infestor.

I think this series just shows why everyone hates the zerg meta game right now xD

He knows prob just nothing he can do about it. Its not exactly a mind blowing strategy

I think the problem is that Scarlett knows how chad plays and chad doesn't want to change his playstyle for some reason

probably because he will lose even worse?

13:00 12 geysers... lol. I feel bad for Minigun =(
|
Never stop fightinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng Chad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I hope scarlett took him out to dinner before that series..
|
I just missed this.. although I can tell by the comments I didn't miss much. What was the final score?
|
gz to Scarlett, she plays in another league than minigun
final score was 4-0

Scarlett 4-0. Very one-sided.
|
|
|
Well that was depressing to watch
|
No offense to minigun but Scarlett is just on another tier...minigun might be a ladder hero but scarlett can actually compete on an international scale...(at least I hope!)
That said, I can't stand how hard BL infestor is to beat.
|
Oh man. I knew Scarlett would win but I didn't think it was gonna be a complete shutout.
|
Scarlett play is perfect play. Is it over already? Just saw the last two games - she won with styyle
|
Scarlett too good guys, sorry it was a 4-0!
First two games were fun though ^_^>

Don't worry Minigun. We all know you played better in a lot of the games (especially CloudKingdom), it's just you took it to the lategame and it's just that BL infestor crazy imba.
GL in future.

You are seriously kidding yourself.
Watch Scarlett play vs Sage to see just how much Minigun could still improve his play.

MM game one I think I really probably should have won, after rewatching the replay I defintely think I let that one slip. I definitely lost the others though.
I watched the sage vs scarlett vods a couple days ago, he has a very interesting style, it is very unique, and quite hard to copy with only 4-5 games available from his stream.
I did take away the build I did on game one with it, and it's helped me a lot in the mid game PvZ.
Scarlett is definitely the best zerg I've played though.

I'm a fan of yours, so I hope you didn't take it negatively. It's just silly that someone thinks you played perfectly when it's really obvious how much skill potential is still in the game above NA top grandmaster play. I'm sure you'll keep improving and pushing protoss further than most foreigners do. GGs
|
You played super good first game, and pretty damn good 2nd game. Hurts seeing you run out of money and you can't build interceptors with a useless carrier / mommaship army.
Looks like you seem to have overcome some of those nerve issues you had before. Keep up the good work! =)

I agree btw. I think game 1 was yours if you made an air switch or just didn't rush to an engagement. All those heavy zealot/dt warp ins also really drained your bank without doing much compared to the lighter warp-in harass complemented by HTs that Sage has been using.
