hmm, people always said Snute and Vortix are patchzergs, todays results support that argument quite a lot^^ I think Snute just had bad timing in terms of becoming visible and then had a bad tournament today, but I'm not so sure about Vortix. He's never really impressed me all that much.
It's a weird thing to say he's a patchzerg as he is generally known for is ZvZ, without infestors. I think he has a very slow & methodical way of deciding his build orders and game plans, so he probably just needs some more time to practice HoTS.

Well as MVP is the best Mech player in WoL and was already very successful with it against the best Zerg in the world, if he did practise HoTS it will be really scary tomorrow in TvZ . As for TvP meh I'll don't know, I really don't think it has been fully understood since there was almost 0 mech play in WoL TvP, Terran player are starting from scratch there. But if someone will show that mech is a viable/strong/(imba?) option in TvP, it will be MVP. It has to be Mvp, but it won't be tommorow, and I would say not on this patch.
I was talking about MKP Mech HotS TvP.
He is playing it pretty good.

No, that feels wrong. Someone is going to go with gate pressure.

It's game two with Socke one game up, normally Socke would either go DTs now or do a gateway all-in. But it's HotS, so I don't know.

Please shut up if you have no idea what you are talking about. It means a lot to Mana, socke and sting.

won 2-0 snute so i'm 5th in my group. Thanks for those supporting me and I'm sorry for playing so bad. Bad preparation (HotS) (1/2)
+ playing bad + very good opponents = embarrassing play, but I'll try to preppair next one better (I have some months)! (2/2)
Why the hell would you post those spoilers (and not in a spoiler tag) when the games haven't been streamed yet? Vortix vs. Snute is the last series of the day. Spoiler your post x.x

Socke could even get first ine the group here, everything is still possible and this game is very relevant.

I don't see much of a way that Socke could win this game.

As if the games will be streamed, they obviously ditched it because they're completely irrelevant. IEM doesn't do replay casts if you haven't noticed.

OMG, he still hasn´t scouted that pylon.

Please Mana take this, then Sting should beat Socke and continue on with his amazing 3-2 IEM streak.

I agree the game is very relevant.
Can Socke still get 1st, I thought that if the score was tied they go
1) head to head
2) most wins
3) map score
in which case if socke and violet both go 4-1, violet takes 1st because he beat socke head to head

Is "planetary nexus" the new "Base trade scenario"?

Ha, forgot about Sting's rule: goes down 0-2 and finishes 3-2, it makes sense.
