This qualifier will give FIVE eSF seeds towards the IPL6 Wings of Liberty Tournament. Games are played live online on WoL.

Each eSF team nominated ONE player for the "top seed" and THREE players for the "normal seed" as well as one for the "reserve seed." Essentially, each RO8 bracket contains one player from each eSF team, and the winner of that bracket receives the seed. "Top seed" players have two chances - if they qualified on their first go, then the "reserve seed" player can play in their next chance.

Might as well get up a thread for this to promote the event! :D Plus, AcE is casting.

Creator goes for a blink build and Tear goes for stargate, and both expand after token skirmishes. Creator moves out with a blink stalker-zealot-immortal army but Tear manages to get a colossus out in time and Creator GGs out!

Tear opens with 3 stalker rush into twilight while Creator goes gate-robo-gate. Tear gets a proxy dark shrine and expands behind some pressure. Tear cancels the dark shrine when Creator breaks the light contain, also expanding. Tear gets blink tech while Creator goes for colossus and double robo. Tear's colossi and second robo are later than Creator's, but his third base is a bit faster. He manages to catch Creator's colossi out of position, killing 2, but Creator pushes Tear back.

Tear tries to drop Creator's main while moving out to attack Creator's fourth. He does a lot of damage in the main but is driven away from the main engagement. Creator is caught out of position and loses the laser war, and GGs out.

Tear wins 2-1!

Noblesse opens with an 11/11 2rax, but it's not proxied. Curious doesn't find the second rax for a bit, but does notice the low SCV count. Noblesse bunkers the natural, but lings are already out, and a spine and queen are on the way. Curious drives him off and Noblesse double-expands at home. The game settles down a bit.

Noblesse goes for a marine-hellion attack, but Curious' banelings drive it off decisively. Noblesse moves into marine-tank while Curious goes ling-bane-muta. Noblesse gets caught unsieged and Curious rolls in, taking out all but 2 tanks. From here on there's really not much Noblesse can do. He stabilises a bit and takes out Curious' 4th, but Curious has already gotten a 5th base. Noblesse's push at the 5th is unsuccessful, but his later drops are quite successful, killing quite a few drones.

However, Curious goes for the doom push with BL-corruptor-infestor. Well-placed fungals zone out the ravens and prevent seeker missiles from hitting, allowing Curious to take the engagement! Curious is only left with 3 brood lords though, and has some trouble finishing Noblesse off. A final engagement at Noblesse's last mining base seals the game!

They all ran into the corruptors without doing anything after the fungal had worn off. PDDs or seeker missile would have made that look not quite as onesided, I would assume. From what I remember, not a single raven died to the fungal.

Yeah, the drops that killed two bases and denied mining at the fifth were pretty awesome. After that I really thought he had a shot again, that's why I was a bit sad he didn't use the ravens, if he had gotten some great seeker missile splash hits, I think he maybe could have won, Curious was so low on economy by then.

but this is still sort of just one qualifier though, just held over five days. we only had one thread for code b, even though that was 2 days and had a lot of people qualifying. plus it's extra work and i doubt i can man all the threads well haha

Both players open up as standard as can be; Noblesse goes for reactor hellions into marine-tank and Curious for ling-infestor. Some token skirmishes occur with the reactor hellions but the first few minutes are otherwise uneventful. Suddenly Noblesse outsupplies Curious, moves out and takes out Curious' 4th base. Curious tries a runby but it's largely unsucesfful. He does manage to clear up Noblesse's push though, catching him unsieged.

Noblesse pushes out again and takes out Curious' 4th twice, but brood lords are out. Noblesse's 2/2 is only just now started. He does a 4-medivac drop into Curious' main while poking at the 4th, and the brood lords are indecisive. Curious loses his hive and spawning pool. In the meantime, Noblesse attacks Curious' 4th but the brood lords clear that up. Noblesse keeps active with his drops, though, and takes out Curious' greater spire at his natural!

Curious goes for the doom push, but Noblesse takes out Curious' 4th (or 3rd, since he never rebuilt his main). Base-trade ensues and Noblesse pretty much wipes out Curious' side of the map. Noblesse has one base mining but is severely supply blocked, but Curious has to build random hatcheries and extractors to prevent him being eliminated. Curious takes out Noblesse's last base, and has a much superior army, but it's less mobile. Infestors get ninja fungals off, and Curious has restarted mining while Noblesse has not. Noblesse tries for a last suicide push, but it's not quite enough. He takes out the hatchery, but Curious has one extractor left on the map, and Noblesse GGs out!

Curious wins 2-0

I really want Mvp to win, but a BBoong victory is possible, if not likely.

Very standard openings from both, with Mvp getting reactored hellions and BBoong going for mutalisks and +1 flyer attack. A few skirmishes happen but otherwise the first few minutes are unremarkable. Mvp moves into marine-tank while BBoong adds in banelings. BBoong rolls in with a huge ling-bane-muta attack and suddenly Mvp is dead lol.

Must be pretty annoying playing at such a late time for the Koreans (Currently 12:01 AM). They are probably used to it and adapted by sleeping beforehand, but still, must be inconvenient.

Now that I think about it, my family told me most Koreans stay up late anyways to either study, work or shop, so maybe it doesn't inconvenience them.

He ran like 30 marines into the creep, and died like flies. I think he thought Bboong was transitioning into late game instead of maxing out of mutas/lings, and got caught offguard.

Mvp opens by fake-bunkering BBoong's natural, forcing a drone-pull overreaction while in fact Mvp went 1-rax CC at home. Mvp moves into reactor hellions and BBoong goes for a spire. Mvp pressures BBoong's 3rd, forcing a cancel. Mvp goes for mech on two base. BBoong scouts this and adds a roach warren and drop tech. Mvp drives off the overlord pooping on his 3rd base area, and notices overlord speed. BBoong suicides his mutalisks and takes out most of Mvp's tanks.

He moves a bunch of empty speed overlords into Mvp's main, distracting him, while the roach army rolls into Mvp's natural, taking out most of Mvp's army and killing off his 3rd base. BBoong is up 190-70 supply, and the GG is inevitable as his roaches roll in again.

BBoong wins 2-0

What cost him the game was that awful exchange tanks <-> mutas, not the fake drop. He didn't react to it at all, as the roaches went in too soon, but it didn't matter.

MKP might very well still play in this for the free travel and if he would qualify it looks like Tear might get his alreeady earned no-travel spot. =)

This deserves more hype imo, hopefully any future broadcasts could be listed in the TL calender, also AcE should probably list his stream under SC2 to get more viewers.
Legend was observing earlier i've understood but had to leave and now Golden is observing, pretty cool!

I was rooting for JJ since only 3 Terrans have qualified sofar, but grats to Curious!

So does this mean on the other bracket all of these players that didn't qualify are edited in and then Startale's replacement gets Curious's spot in the other bracket?

Life 44.06% 18.49% 16.66% 20.79%
BBoongBBoong 17.16% 31.36% 51.48% 0.00%
Tear 15.07% 17.63% 21.01% 46.29%
Byun 13.16% 11.93% 43.39% 31.53%
TAiLS 6.25% 12.53% 27.51% 53.71%
Madbull 2.60% 4.20% 13.99% 79.21%
true 1.69% 3.88% 25.96% 68.47%


Personally I think we'll see:

Tear > TAiLS
Life > MadBull
ByuN > True

BBoongBBoong > Tear
Life > ByuN

Life > BBoongBBoong

As such, both my head and heart are with Life on this one.

They already did. How do you think Naniwa qualified? Do you think he beat Koreans?


So did the Koreans but they also got another qualifier (this one) and this time 5 seeds will be given out.


Good, there are more good players in Korea, so it makes sense to give them more qualifiers.

Because IPL and GOMTV are partners, eSF players get perks for IPL events.


5 seeds is too much tho. Nothing but Koreans is not good for the viewership.

If you think that's bad there are 12 players coming from IPTL which is likely to be LG-IM and then one of startale or team MVP

Oh wow. Its IPL4 all over again, huh? This is bad for IGN and overall attendance. I will definitely avoid the LR thread and pray that Alive aka zero fucks given doesnt win.

IPL is basically the GSL of the west and has been for their past two events, personally I enjoy it but I know a lot of people wish there were more foreigners there. I think by now most viewers have accepted the Korean dominance and have learned to be fans of the popular Korean players. I think it if really impacted viewership so much then IPL would change their system, either way I understand if some people don't want to watch it.

At least there is the HotS open bracket which will likely have tons of foreigners in it.

Yeah
SoN replaced Curious and other players:
Classic (he would play if Creator won)
Killer (he would play if Noblesse won)
SalvatioN (he would play if jjakji won)
TOP (he would play if BBoong won)
YoDa (he would play if Mvp won)
JKS (he would play if Tear won) will not play.

Btw if TAiLS wins then we have Vampire and Pet as the players who should be his replacements as TAiLS took 2nd place here http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IGN_ProLeague_Season_6/International_Regional_1 and got non-paid trip.

thanks. Would be so funny if Tails and another MVP player down the line qualify through this and then MVP makes IPTL finals then they could have 9 players at IPL6 because DRG won a regional.

Azsharalife mentioned IPL should be broadcasting group C & D.
They usually broadcast every weekday at 4PM Pacific, so no idea if it'll be broadcast live but we could expect English casting for the last 2 groups later this week at least.

I think it'll be all good. We might get some second-game mindgames with Tear thinking Life wouldn't keep using the Hydra build after Parting countered it in GSL. Or, we might see a counter to the counter of that counter...

Anyway, it'll be great.

Life used Hydra build vs MadBull and then 6 pooled him like in games vs PartinG. I think Tear knows it.

Yeah, just hoping Tear won't go for an unscouted surprise switch to Carrier/Void Ray like Parting did against Bboong >.>

Yeah I am rooting as hell for Life and I want that MarinKing winning his group so Tear could advance since he took 2nd in Korean Satelite. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IGN_ProLeague_Season_6/Korean_Satellite

Life went muta Tear went phoenixes with range upgrade then Life built infestors and caught all Tear's phoenixes then Life went brood lords and Tear barely hold Life's attack but Life bl postion was so sexy + Life sent his lings non-stop so that Tear could not do anything and typed GG.

Life delays 3rd hatch a bit to get early gas, gets quick Ling speed, then banks a ton of gas on 3 base and gets 15 Mutas. Meanwhile Tear has gone Phoenix harass, so doesn't have a lot of Stalkers or blink yet, gets Phoenix range to defend. Chases away Life's Mutas, kills quite a few but Life is now on 5 bases, and has already teched to Infestors. Life catches all the Phoenixes with a fungal, and kills them off with Muta/Corrupter. Tear tries some desperate harass with Warp Prism in main, and Stalkers/Zealots on the other side of the map, gets shut down. Life pushes with Broodlords gg.

Holy moly Life so Good!
If StarTale makes it to the IPTL final, that would mean at least 10 out of 40 players in the main event are ST already iirc!
Edit: And it looks like SoN and Hack could still qualify aswell still.

No it does not, the quality of WoL games now is much higher then HotS.
And half of players at IPL do not attend MLG or IEM so they can focus on WoL for IPL.

For me, it's still way more fun to watch HotS games and see the metagame shape itself than go back to WoL after almost 2 weeks of HotS, or so I think it will be. It'll be good StarCraft, but not the new shit we've been waiting for. Some matchups have become extremely fun to watch, and the new units seem funny in the hands of gods.

Ace has no stream attached here, it's only watchable over twitch, no TL embed. It's a bit cumbersome to watch that way.

Ace already has an account.

They'd just need to attach the stream and link it.

Quarterfinals
SuperNova 2-0 First
MarineKing 0-2 finale
Lucky 0-2 jjakji
Semifinals
SoN 0-2 SuperNova
finale 0-2 jjakji
Finals
SuperNova 2-1 jjakji I am very sad

Tear and jjakji both lost 2 times in finals... If I had to choose 2 players to give these 2 unannounced seeds it would be them they deserve it like nobody else.

wow, MKP lost to finale o.O

But he already had a seed, what would happen if he (or someone else) gets a second seed? Do they just give it away to someone else?
I play children's card games and watch a lot of dota, CS and HS

Is this being streamed right now? I don't see a link to IGN's stream despite the event being on air, and the IGN stream is replaying Liquid/MVP...

No it is not. AcE streamed at this time on weekend. Now IPL will stream but there is no date for their streams.

Then Tear would get an unpaid trip as he was 2nd after MarineKing at the Korean Satelite and MarineKing's trip would be paid by IPL or GOM or eSF.
