The usual rules apply. No caster/player bashing etc. |
So fucking happy to see that Ret is going to advance. After most of 2012 I felt that he had lost his focus and drive to succeed but I'm glad Jos is proving me wrong.
Also Yongwha made the right choice going to IEM and skipping out on GSL. He'll probably get more money here and be able to get through Code A pretty easily in HotS.

Ret is absolutely ripping everyone apart. On a side note, I'm a little surprised at LucifroN.

If I'm playing against Zerg, I always have to account for the fact that Infestor BL could be coming. For example, when a Zerg goes mass Mutas, you'll often see a Protoss attack to quickly and chewed up by Zergling Muta, or lose a base trade, because he knows mass spines and BL Infestor could always be on the horizon. Even if Nerchio never used BL Infestor (which he in fact repeatedly did), part of his success would be based on that strategy. This is a brilliant way to expose the facts. What was 2base immortal sentry then ?
You lunge forward without getting shot in the face. Very hard to pull off, but possible.

I love this. I was about to ask what the immortal/sentry all-in was as well.

Why do they have this tournament on such terrible time? Wouldn't more be able to watch it if the matches were from like 17.00 to 22.00 CET.(which is like morning/lunch in america). Probably because it is a decent time for Koreans?
It's due to the event being part of Cebit and their hours. Same for gamescom.

Can anyone say something about Rets drone count during those games?

WoW WoW there QXC, you are messing with the TL IEM preview there with you saying Yoda is creative.

So excited to see Ret succeed. I hope he comes far in the tourney!!
Gogo Liquid`Ret!

ret needs to win at least 1 map to be first, right?
if Yoda wins 2-1, the both are on 4-1, but ret on +6 maps and Yoda on +4, so ret advances
if Yoda wins 2-0, they both are on 4-1 and +5 maps, but Yoda won 1 more map so Yoda advances
right?

TBO linked the IEM rulebook a few pages back, and according to it you are correct.

But obviously you can't just a-move.

I think you are right, even if that one more map doesn't count as better, Yoda won head to head.

It was an all-in based on the wish to kill the zerg before he gets infestor broodlord.
Do you think we enjoyed having to flip like that in order to play you?

Looks like you can't be safe while making just Drones and Queens now.
