About Prime roster - Kong is now on FXO, Bumblebee/Terius is no longer on the team... and they have two new members - Emir and TerrOr. As seen in your Korean qualifiers for IPL6 and in the GSTL line-up.

Prime is not doing well lately. TheStC all kill!
|
Yeah, coL has no shot here.

Sasquatch all kill incoming. Calling it

its really sad to see both teams with such thin looking rosters. Still think Prime will destroy coL, maybe theStC will take a game or two
|
i was going to say prime should have this easy but after fxo v root ive lost faith in my predictions.
|
Suprised the poll is so close, its basically TheStC (who lost 0-2 vs aLive lately) against Prime Terrans and Creator who will all smash him easily.
Prime takes it handily

gah terius left again?

He wasn't listed on the roster in GSTL. they only had Emir/HogU and TerrOr for zergs

I see what you did there.
|
well, I give 10% chance to CoL here, and mostly it's about TheSTC having good luck and all-killing
|
|
|
Prime isn't the LG-IM of foreign team leagues... Better luck next time with that...
Prime.MKP... Why does this seem so familiar? I feel like this has happened before with the overlay...

|
Well, let's see how many kills MKP can take
|
Ryze gonna 6pool. Or not. Guess he doesn't know MKP's weakness. I thought coL was being smart with the choice to send out a Zerg.
|
Wait what is MKP attacking?
|
That worked pretty well. MKP is in a big supply lead on equal bases.

Also, FINNALY.
Ryze with the MKP gg timing. Nothing wrong about that.

Had to go rewatch it, Nestea looks SO pissed after the game. IIRC, ByuN had asked GSL judges about the map version earlier?

No, but there was a huge ass controversy after the series about it after GOM staff read the social media sites... and then Artosis and Tasteless had to apologize to the viewers about the map version the next day... I think. Not sure... It was almost a year ago... I just remembered because... I have no idea why I remembered that game...

GSL actually had to release an apology. Thankfully Nestea and LG-IM didn't make a big deal out of it, and accepted the results, but they could have tried to invalidate the result on the map perhaps?

It would be hard to cause a large stink about it after he got thrashed out of that series haha.

Imagine Nestea beating ByuN, then beating Seed. GSL finals on a big ass arena between the Creator of the Universe and the Bosstoss himself, MC.
We got robbed

True, but the argument would have been that the first set "ruined Nestea's mindset" and caused him to play poorly :p
At least we got to see a Terran beat a Zerg right after the queen patch, when it seemed like TvZ was completely unwinnable (the only players winning at that time were NSH Terrans in GSTL, and Ryung won that sick game against DRG in the Ro16, but still lost the series).
|
That was really greedy play...
|
Very important to scout if protoss is getting twilight and continues probe production when they take a third. The nexus itself is only 400 minerals, it's the preparation into 3 base play that costs resources. The void ray prevents the scouting of this, taking out overlords.
Still feel it went unscouted for way too long, Classic got all the way to Sasquatch's 4th without getting noticed.
|
That fight went really well for Classic.

coL has to send out Ryan now... Who else could they send out?
+ Show Spoiler +TheStC? Nah...

He has to win on:
Abyssal City
Antiga Shipyard
Atlantis Spaceship
Whirlwind
...Other than Antiga... Ouch.

Because starfish are non-human peoples (joking obviously).

Well, not too surprised by the results. I wonder if the consolation up and down brackets have been released.

good overall performance by classic. Hope he can make more out of his skills in HotS.

Nope. Hence Tim saying he doesn't know who coL is facing in the consolation match yet.

Why the fuck would MKP mech :'( Better mechers than him tried against Zerg and fail miserably. MechKingPrime makes me sad most of the time (and sometimes he just rolls his opponent with unsieged tanks, which makes me kinda happy at the same time )
|
Funny thing about classic vs stc, at the same time they were supposed to play for IPL6 kr qualifier as the iptl match. I think classic won that one too

So, there's only one up&down match left, Acer vs Karont3, which was to be played in february. I think it has already been played, but no idea about the results. Anyone?
|
Not sure I'm allowed to say it + Show Spoiler +Karont3 won something like 5-2 (or 5-3, too long ago i can't remember)
|
until the opposite is declared, I would consider IPL as pretty dead.
