Would be fun to see a CIS team or two in the mix-up. Expand the european-ness of it all.

Not really, there are a bunch of good teams out there, no one is safe, and I don't even know if RoX.KIS want to play in more team leagues, seeing as they didn't even try to qualify for IPTL.

EG, Karont3, Millenium, Fnatic, Nrs, ROOT, Quantic and many others have a good shot if they participate.

I'm really glad to see a major team league. There is clearly a lack of this kind of tournaments and it's sad because, as Goswser said, team leagues are awesome ! The prize pool is huge and I have to congratulate Acer and TaKe for this initiative.

Don't you start sighing, I should do that.

RoX.KIS mostly played Creed, Abver, Pro7ect and one of the good players and lost every single match, even to Gosustyle, a team I didn't even know about.

You made the playoffs at least.

You're right, each time I was expecting RoX.KIS to win but... they didn't. All my thoughts go to you.

By the way, I have a little question for the admins :

1.2 ACE
If a team is down to 'x : 4' (one more loss equals to a lost match) the loser can be replaced by a player, who played already and lost his game.
Every player who´ve lost already can be chosen.


1.5 Revive
Two times a season it is possible to revive a player.
This means a player that played and lost in a running clanmatch is able to play again.


Does the revive have anything to see with the ace or not ? I mean, it's not stipulated in the "Ace" section that the team has only 2 possibilities to revive a player. I guess the "Revive" section refers to a revival before that a team is down to 'x/4', am I right ?

from the wording of it you should also be able to use your two revives in 1 match and even cast the spell twice on the same player (although I am not sure its a good idea to revive someone who lost 2 matches in that clan match already^^)

You're right, each time I was expecting RoX.KIS to win but... they didn't. All my thoughts go to you.

By the way, I have a little question for the admins :

1.2 ACE
If a team is down to 'x : 4' (one more loss equals to a lost match) the loser can be replaced by a player, who played already and lost his game.
Every player who´ve lost already can be chosen.


1.5 Revive
Two times a season it is possible to revive a player.
This means a player that played and lost in a running clanmatch is able to play again.


Does the revive have anything to see with the ace or not ? I mean, it's not stipulated in the "Ace" section that the team has only 2 possibilities to revive a player. I guess the "Revive" section refers to a revival before that a team is down to 'x/4', am I right ?


from the wording of it you should also be able to use your two revives in 1 match and even cast the spell twice on the same player (although I am not sure its a good idea to revive someone who lost 2 matches in that clan match already^^)


Mindgames :D
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I would love to see some unkown team break through, but I am also thrilled at the thought that some eSF team will participate in a foreign team league. Might stimulate the GSTL to open up as well?

This looks pretty awesome! Clarity Gaming's application has been submitted!

I do have a couple of questions though, and I think maybe others might be confused as well?

As a former league admin I would like to state as pretext that I read through the entirety of your rules. I do have a few questions.
1. What is a joker? Is this a player who is on a different team that can be played for our team during a league match?
2. Ace player - Does the ace player only come in when a team is down 0-4? Currently the rules state you can use a player from the current match who has already lost to fill the 'Ace' slot. How does this work if there are only 2 'Revives' available to a team for the entire season?
3. When are you expecting the qualifiers and the official cup to start? I did not see any dates in the Original Post or the Rules.

Thanks!

Signed up, what would be AMAZING for an event like this, is have a Home Story Cup kind of component to it (maybe for the finals, maybe not for this particular event), where you can get two teams in a similar setup as you would for HSC, cover maybe HALF the travel costs for up to 5-6 people, and have 2 teams stay at the same place, have the same dynamic of HSC except with clear commentator BIAS (players rooting for their teams) which would bring up more arguments, personality, rivalry.

Not to say that this isn't an awesome tournament without it, but when I read TeamStoryCup and TaKe that's what I imagined it and I was SOOOOO Excited for the idea.

If TaKe could do that, it would be amazing. It would probably do so much for the teams in terms of exposure, and the chance to have all of your team's players gain positive exposure and fans like that is so valuable.

The Revival idea is awesome: "Two times a season it is possible to revive a player.
This means a player that played and lost in a running clanmatch is able to play again."

Also just to clarify why are the games being played on US server when both players are in EU? "Games are to be played on the following Battle.net locations:
US when both players are located in the EU or Asia."

It also doesn't make sense with the rule that comes afterwards: "The 'home team' will chose the server region."

Awesome! Excited for another good team league, especially with IPTL probably disappearing.

I agree with Catz that it would be cool if a Homestory-ish live aspect could be worked into the later parts of the tournament, though I realize the logistics of that could be difficult. Either way, I'm looking forward to it!

Based on the four invites and the fact that it's a TakeTV event, I think it's aiming to be a little more of a Euro-centric tournament, which is fine by me.

So is this gonna be offline? I mean 14 days sounds long but it sounds like a HomeStory Cup Team event and the HSC's are offline. I wouldn't be suprised if this event is online only or online and then offline finals.

$10k for first place, which is to be split by I'm guessing 7 to 8 people? Pretty low prize pool imo. Hopefully its at least $15k for first next time

That's actually pretty high for a teamleague. In comparison:
IPTL pays $9k to the champion (with a total prize pool of $22k)
EG Master Cup pays $5k to the champion (total prize pool of $10k)
NASL's teamleague paid $6k to the champion (total prize pool of $10k)

Other than that one random Asian teamleague that had a $40k total prizepool, the only teamleagues that have much larger prizepools are the GSTL and Proleague, but those are not really comparable for obvious reasons.

half the travel costs for 5-6 people per team adds up to a whole hell of a lot lol. I mean it would be sick, but i dont think its realistic. Just glad to see more teamleagues popping up though, as they are very very exciting

Lineup looks good so far, can't wait to see these teams go at it, hard to pick a favorite.
Excited to see some more of Axiom
Ret and TLO have looked more than prepared to pick up the slack from an injured Taeja and a struggling Hero (don't worry Hero, I know you'll get your mojo back, Up&Downs ain't no thang)
Would be cool to see how Scarlett's skills transfer over to HoTS and I love me some MMA

Yes, it is quite a lot. Assuming 7 players, that is around $1,400 which is close to the Code S Ro32 pay.

Hey Guys,

we will provide you with some more information very soon We also had alot of stuff to do with the cebit BUT! I saw some question i would love to answer and i think you might like them!!

We cover 1500 Dollar travelexpenses to support the teams Plus! Hotels for the teams so that they don t have to pay all the costs!!! I hope this shows that we want to help the teams and we know its expensive to send 4-5 players!

Beside that this will be an onlineleague with the top 4 qualifying for the offline finale which is 2 days (Saturday/Sunday) at my place!!

More information will come!! Stay tuned and awesome first feedback <333 i am an old wc3 player and played several wc3l saisons and i was aiming for this teamleague for along time and i am happy that acer and also intel is supporting me with that <3 but also don t forget about roccat and needforseat who support the whole thing too!

Times for the qualifiers will be also announced offiicially very soon but we have to wait for an official go but it will be soon! All teams be prepared!

TaKe, I love you so much right now.

I miss team leagues a la WC3L and NGL One so, sooooooo much. There are team leagues in SC2, but they are replay casts (which kills hype), have too little prize money and are, for selfish reasons, broadcasted too late for EU. We even have offline finals now which elevates this on a much higher level.

Some clans have actually stopped signing players because team leagues didn't matter anymore. They focused on few individual players that carry their brand. I want a thriving clan scene back where clan membership actually matters, where we have aces, snipers, matchup specialists and support players, where fans can be happy when a new player is signed, not only because he wears another jersey but because he strengthens their team.

I hope the players, clans and the community work together to make this an awesome tournament and have many iterations of it!

Great news take, love it!

Can we just get the confirmation on what is it, Hots or Wol? I think it is Hots, but just to make it sure.

Of course its hots, its stated in the rulebook:

We cover 1500 Dollar travelexpenses to support the teams Plus! Hotels for the teams so that they don t have to pay all the costs!!! I hope this shows that we want to help the teams and we know its expensive to send 4-5 players!

Beside that this will be an onlineleague with the top 4 qualifying for the offline finale which is 2 days (Saturday/Sunday) at my place!!

More information will come!! Stay tuned and awesome first feedback <333 i am an old wc3 player and played several wc3l saisons and i was aiming for this teamleague for along time and i am happy that acer and also intel is supporting me with that <3 but also don t forget about roccat and needforseat who support the whole thing too!

Times for the qualifiers will be also announced offiicially very soon but we have to wait for an official go but it will be soon! All teams be prepared!

//Dennis


That is Awesome news that the finals are offline, like AWESOME. Its not speficied in the thread though, and you should make sure teams signing up for the qualifiers are down to cover the rest of the costs to Germany (travel for 4-5, especially for NA / KR teams, isn't a small amount) ROOT will play the heck out of this league! this is awesome news, not getting the hype it deserves, should edit the thread and make sure everyone knows its offline finals HSC style... just, amazing. <333 you TaKe and FU for not inviting us directly.

Oh, I just read about the map pool


ESL Antiga Shipyard
ESL Cloud Kingdom
ESL Daybreak
ESL Entombed Valley
ESL Metropolis
ESL Ohana
GSL Whirlwind (Arcade)
Blizz Newkirk District
Blizz Akilon Flats


You might want to change the pool after the qualifier. A lot of people have uttered dissatisfaction about the IEM WC map pool as some maps are getting quite old.

Hey,

i try to answer some of your questions!

1. What is a joker? Is this a player who is on a different team that can be played for our team during a league match?

This can be an external player for the teamroster. (To help smaller Teams)
For example: the joker for Team Liquid is Grubby. So Grubby will play this season for Teamliquid and is treated like every other player in the roster. (this is just an example!)

2. Ace player - Does the ace player only come in when a team is down 0-4? Currently the rules state you can use a player from the current match who has already lost to fill the 'Ace' slot. How does this work if there are only 2 'Revives' available to a team for the entire season?

The joker is "just" a player. The acematch can be played by any player in the roster - what happend before in the clanwar isn´t relevant.

The ´revives´ are esp. for smaller teams to be able to play even with only 3 ppl. without a penalty.

3. When are you expecting the qualifiers and the official cup to start? I did not see any dates in the Original Post or the Rules.

We can´t right now - i´m sorry.

When is the deadline to hand in the app to play?

At the time we could announce the dates - a deadline will be included.

will this be online, in studio, live, recorded? more info plx !!!

the qualifier and league will be played online, the final 4 will play an offline event at our appartment in germany.

cover maybe HALF the travel costs for up to 5-6 people

Every team get a fix rate to settle up the costs.

US when both players are located in the EU or Asia."
It also doesn't make sense with the rule that comes afterwards: "The 'home team' will chose the server region."

You´re right, it´s a mistake. It should be fixed soon (If player 1 is located in eu and the player2 in kr the game should be played on us.)


I´m not 'able' to answer all questions - i'm sorry!

Anyway, nice tournament! Looking forward to seeing this thing kick off!

Great stuff.

As i see it every team can apply? Even nonames? That is great!

Is it possible to change/add additional players to the lineup at a later time?

Thanks for establishing this new team league!

The winner /finalists of the qualifier will get chosen, i guess?! ^^
I would imagine they have two qualifier, one for EU and one for USA/KR , because you have to select between those two regions when you apply.

Dunno how many applicants you can expect... maybe 4-16 per qualifier? I guess the qualifiers are going to be quite time consuming... but who knows how many teams actually apply. I think all of them that are willing to send their players to the offline finals are allowed to play the qualifier. But actually with at least 2000€ prizemoney for the offline playoffs + 1500€ for travel expenses + free hotel, you could be almost be more than break even... european teams for sure.. for flights from overseas/korea it could get close.

The actual tournament could be 2 groups with 4 teams each. So 8 teams have to play 3 matches each = 24 matches on 12 playdays + 2 playdays for the offline final = 14 playdays as stated in the op. Thats how i would do it at least^^

/end of speculation

You can count on it, as the HSC qualifiers were casted always. I hope Take gets a good english caster in time, as his own english casts lack somewhat of skill, compared to his german ones

all of them naturally that's kind of the point of them qualifying and the esf teams not. though I could see one of the esf teams taking the fourth spot now that you mention it.

Yes, a qualifier page or bracket would be nice so we can see who is competing and what matches to tune in to!

I hope EG are involved, it would be a bit unfair for Liquid to be invited and for EG to not even try and qualify.

Our team got a confirmation about 1 day after we signed and also with a schedule. The schedule was not 100 % decided. Haven't heard from them since, though :/

Unless MVP just uses the players that won't be used in GSTL for the qualifier... Only need 4 players for the bo7 at GSTL and unless Liquipedia is mistaken MVP has 15 members... the other 11 can easily get to the ro4 of this qualifier... Unless Sentinel Gaming and the winner of Clarity Gaming vs. Quantic Academy are too much for them...

Unfortunate brackets... Either MVP or FXO Korea? TT
I would rather see one of them in the other half of the bracket. EG can still qualify through the all na qualifier.
but im curious how a 9th team can fit into the tournament system? and i dont quite understand why NA teams get a special treatment... well i do understand that from a marketing perspective you have to make EG qualify by all means necessary.. but thats why they got an easy bracket :D

all na qualifier is NA/KR qualifier minus MVP and FXO korea anyhow..

but thats enough of nit picking... im so hyped for this :D

I heard that the qualifiers will only be streamed on TaKeTV. I understand that for the main tournament, it'll be the case and it's normal, TaKe is the organizer and he deserves the exclusiveness. However, for the qualifiers, when 4 or 8 series will be played at the same time, it'd be great to have multiple streams so that the fans can follow their favourite teams.

There will miat likley be a cast in the most languages. Everyone could apply. They just need to go through the applications i guess.

What format will be used with 9 teams? Will each team play vs each other team once? And then the 4 best placed teams go to the LAN finals?

Also, will there be a Homestorycup on top of this this summer, or only the Teamstorycup finals?

When it was only 8 teams, they announced Round Robin with 14 playdays, assuming they keep the system it would go up to 18 playdays where each week one team doesn't have to play.

4 best teams of this league go to the offline finals at takes home in Krefeld.

Btw there is something strange with the map pool, someone mentionned earlier :
ESL Antiga Shipyard, ESL Cloud Kingdom, ESL Daybreak, ESL Entombed Valley, ESL Metropolis, ESL Ohana, GSL Whirlwind (Arcade), Blizz Newkirk District, Blizz Akilon Flats

But know TakeTV.net indicate Newkirk City, Akilon Wastes, Cloud Kingdom, Ohana, Whirlwind , Akilon Flats, Daybreak,
Star Station, Planet S, but Akilon Wastes/Flats are basicaly the same map.
I guess it's safe to assume that it's a mistake and one the akilon maps is Antiga, but confirmation would be nice.

how would that be possible? Without a team having multiple matches each week.
With an uneven number of teams in a league you have to go up a team, which represents a team having a week off each week.
(A-B
C-D
E-F
G-H
I-Free)
So you can imagine it as being a league of 10 teams -> 18 playdays.

I am missing Alien Invasion or Dignitas in the list of participants for the qualifier, I hope they are participating in the next one. Also a shame that there are so many tiny (sometimes even one-man) teams outside of Korea, which disqualifies them from playing in team leagues.

This.

Having applied for the qualifiers and then being sent provisional dates it's a big surprise to suddenly find out that your team isn't even in it..

Are MVP and FXO the only two Korean eSF teams that applied? Must've been the case since I can see no other in the bracket. The offline finals probably prevents most of them from participating. Good for the NA and SEA teams, I guess.

That's GSTL, he'll play for Liquid in this tournament.



No, Grubby will play for FXO.kr, the TeamLiquid thing was just an example used to explain the format/function of the extra player.

"TargA wird bei FXO.EU der Joker sein und Grubby übrigens bei FXO.KR" -> " TargA will be Joker of team FXO.eu and Grubby for FXO.kr"- qouted and translated from TaKes facebook

I can't seem to find any roster about which players will be representing the teams anywhere on the website or in the OP.

QuanticApocalypse all-killed FXONA, and EG won games with Revival and Jaedong.

Imagine their Korean players had to go to bed after the US/KR qualifier and their US players are at PAX East.

Yes they initially planned with 8 teams but decided to give a 9th spot to an american team so the american market has another team to root for. (theehee)
Its a bit weird because now you always have one team thats always behind one game in the ranking. Would have been nice if you had a clear ranking after each week but i guess its not soo bad

Indeed, and there was no way they could have forseen that and cancelled their participation.
Oh well, too bad for the teams who wanted to have a shot at the qualifier but were denied because EG was invited...

On other note: OMG, Acer vs MVP in the first week! Karont3 vs Millenium will be the start up game, also not bad.
edit: Root also couldn't have asked for a harder opponent. With the recent performances of TLO, Ret, Snute, the foreign division of TL looks as strong as ever.

In fact, that's the Ace. The Revive can be used twice in the season to use a player any time during the BO9, not specifically when it's x-4. That's what I understood anyway.

From what I understand, it's all kill format but as the last player, they can use a player who's already played and lost once. It sounds like it makes it even better than standard all kill for teams with only one really strong player.

Edit: Oh, so revive is something different from being able to send out a player for the 2nd time for the ace match?

I read the rules again last night to understand correctly and that was my conclusion yes.

vs Apoc: Proxy stargate, early oracles, Apoc dies
vs Center: Proxy stargate, early oracles, Center dies

Edit: A bit surprised about Hwangsin right now, MaNa´s PvP is pretty decent, why risk losing another player before eventually sending out Hyun ? If Hyun i unavailable on the other hand, things are getting pretty hairy for Quantic now.

Madness is a strong world, MaNa has accomplished more than his first 3 opponents combined, so not that surprising. But hopefully we will have a surprise in the next match.

Well, Apoc allkilled FXO.NA, and Center is at least good enough that they decided to field him as an ace over Hyun against TheSTC.

You turned on two proxy Oracle rushes against Terrans and a PvP...


What? Was it some build order win where the terran went CC first or 1rax expand? I thought oracle rushes were already figured out after MC's loss at MLG...

quantic-koreans not named hyun are not that scary tbh.


Well, Apoc allkilled FXO.NA, and Center is at least good enough that they decided to field him as an ace over Hyun against TheStC

The score of that match was 4-2 in favor of Quantic... They couldn't send out HyuN again unless TheStC made the score 4-4...

One was 1 rax, 1 factory into expand and the other was cc first...

Don't try to take away from MaNa's accomplishments of taking out two fairly strong Korean Terrans, especially because one almost made it to Code S (Center). He did get it good with build-orders, but you can't deny that he beat them, exploitive build or not.

this Oracle rush is imba: first ORACLE appears 5:06~5:10. I think you have to blindly counter this build to be succesful.

Well, personally I gave up going 1 rax expo in TvP since the launch of HotS. But I'm also not a good player, so...
edit; that means if I scout any gas with my scout after supply depot.

Scouting an oracle rush isn't nearly as easy as scouting a 11 11 rax, though.

If people don't know, the format of this teamleague is that you can reuse a player if they got defeated before as an ace player of sorts.

Good idea to use the Overlord drops as a distraction rather than the main attacking force.

I need to know that it is no proxy robo or proxy dt or proxy blink with his army being out there on the map, also it could be a proxy voidray bust.

Ah, much better there. HyuN's macro is overwhelming if you let him get there, and his mid-game is terrifying in ZvP.

Technically, Mana killed everybody in the lineup once, can't we just call this an all-kill? :o
But ye, Hyun is a beast... Really hoping mouz can still take it (use some cheddar!)

I don't really think it's offensive. Although MaSsan and Apoc are pretty good players, they don't compare to HwangSin Center and HyuN. Even then, Center and HyuN are the only 2 that can be sent as aces.
Actually, I think some of their "academy" players are probably better than their main roster players.

With the speed of reaper, you can scout any proxy pretty easily.

You can also scout with an SCV, like zerg does with its drones to be prepared to 11 11.

I think the line-up of Quantic includes the academy. However, which member of the Academy would you expect to defeat MaNa, Heromarine and the ace probably against MaNa again?

I can't see HeroMarine defeating HyuN in a long-term macro game, so I feel a very aggressive build incoming.

I don't think you read my post very well. I said that I felt some Quantic Academy players were better than some Quantic Main players. I think your question is thus invalid, right?

Nice ace match going on! I love when both team's best players are sent out as aces instead of relying on cheese or possible upsets.

Not that HyuN is having a bad time in Quantic, because he did really good in ladder and showed strong ZvP occasionally, but MaNa just seems to be HyuN's kryptonite.

That is kinda mean to Hasu. He should have defeated Apoc, I think he still can get good points for mouz in the future.

Down to this when a foreigner beat a korean I'm sure they normally go to bed around 10 pm right? Wasn't the best game i've seen but mana definately outsmarted and outplayed his opponent!

Funny, since the Quantic manager said (jokingly?) that he couldn't use the American players as they were all asleep.

Still I wonder when we can finally see him in a big tournament outside of Korea. I just hope his contract with Quantic includes a big amount of travel budged.

Well, it's hard to justify calling it an allkill if he only got 4 kills in a Bo9. Not saying it isn't impressive, but rules are rules :p

But if mouz revives Mana and then he beat Hyun and gets all 5 wins in this Bo9, then I'll allow it :p


Does it count as an all-kill now?

Mouz and Karont3 only two terms not carried by Koreans (though some of the others have a lot of strong non-Korean players), Mouz and Karont3 fighting!

I'd add Acer to the list, even though MMA is on the rise again, I don't think he carries them as much as other Koreans carry other teams.

True, you are right. In some noock of my brain, I grouped Axiom and Acer together.

Undewhelming announcement but it makes sense since they're paying his trip to the Gamers Assembly. I was kind of hoping for Dimaga, Polt or even Monchi since he mentioned he'd contacted them.

i have to say i like that quantic with ONLY KOREAN lineup lost to mouz no korean lineup
i dont like foreign teams play with only koreans, no problem if you have 1-2 but if your only good players are the koreans ...

Not rly that suprised tbh, MaNa is best foreign Toss(and 2nd to Stephano only, overall) and with HOTS fixing hes biggest weakness (pvz) he scary to any1 aside maybe very top tier Koreans(a.k.Life/Flash/MVP etc).

i like it, its european acer so they want the best euro teams in for sure, seeing that mouse has no koreans its an importent team
seeing that EG forfeit the qualifier game i am even more confident in that!

still not sure for the korean teams or the korean based teams like quantic, kill a little hype for me so i am all in for mouzsports !!!

also i much prefer a smaller mappool without vetos what makes way more sense, and obivously a god damn barcraft for the finals, beer and stream + autogramms ... make it happen dennis !

Hey Guys,

we will provide you with some more information very soon We also had alot of stuff to do with the cebit BUT! I saw some question i would love to answer and i think you might like them!!

We cover 1500 Dollar travelexpenses to support the teams Plus! Hotels for the teams so that they don t have to pay all the costs!!! I hope this shows that we want to help the teams and we know its expensive to send 4-5 players!

Beside that this will be an onlineleague with the top 4 qualifying for the offline finale which is 2 days (Saturday/Sunday) at my place!!

More information will come!! Stay tuned and awesome first feedback <333 i am an old wc3 player and played several wc3l saisons and i was aiming for this teamleague for along time and i am happy that acer and also intel is supporting me with that <3 but also don t forget about roccat and needforseat who support the whole thing too!

Times for the qualifiers will be also announced offiicially very soon but we have to wait for an official go but it will be soon! All teams be prepared!

//Dennis


That is Awesome news that the finals are offline, like AWESOME. Its not speficied in the thread though, and you should make sure teams signing up for the qualifiers are down to cover the rest of the costs to Germany (travel for 4-5, especially for NA / KR teams, isn't a small amount) ROOT will play the heck out of this league! this is awesome news, not getting the hype it deserves, should edit the thread and make sure everyone knows its offline finals HSC style... just, amazing. <333 you TaKe and FU for not inviting us directly.


so happy root made it

What I love in this tournament is the really small downtime between the games. Usually in a team league, there is like 10 or 15 minutes whereas here it's less than 5.

I think in the match today, it all comes down to how mutch ForGG can do. If he beats Lucifron and Vortix, Mill will win, but if not, Karonte should have a good chance at winning.

In all honesty i don't think so.
ForGG is sure the millenium ace but adel/feast/goswer/dayshi should be able to take down luci or vortix (with a 50-50 % chance yes )

Moreover its bo1 and people like adelscott/goswer are good snipers with their playstyle.

Millenium hasn't been this strong since Stephano left. They have a decent Top 30 EU player in each race with Feast, goswser and Dayshi (I'm doing a low bracket for Dayshi is still unproven but the other two are top 10 EU in my opinion); a good and reliable ace in ForGG and a wierd sniper in Adel. I believe !

Thanks!

This is a really, really awesome tournament that I genuinely look forward to, unlike most tournaments nowadays, but with better marketing, it could increase its viewers dramatically. The Bitterdam stream didn't even show up to the right, or on TaKe's website..no reddit threads, no TL threads...

The problem was that he a-moved into immortal sentry, not that he built 4 hatches.

Even if he didn't do that greedy build, he could still have lost to a 7 Gates Robo push. viPro was literally doing this build blindly. He executed fairly well but considering the maps allows for forcefield-mania just down the natural ramp, it isn't that straining either.

absolutely - though he still got somewhat punished for his greedy play, wouldn't you agree?

He felt like a-moving since he thought with that absurd amount of production he does not need to flank or bait forcefields.

I would say he is way more familiar with the timings and macro rhythm when going fast 3 hatches, it's what zergs do since WoL I am not saying vipro did bad, but Goswer just did not do what Zergs do in that position - bait a lot of forcefields and stall as much as possible. Losing a lot of units would have been no problem if he reduced ff count by the toss.

ForGG definitely could all kill K3, and especially since there is the revive possibility. Still, losing your most of your depth to someone other than one of the brothers isn't great.

Mental breakdown right there :O

+ Show Spoiler +
ForGG had 10 SCVs but a more mobile army. Destroyed viPro's main and 4th and was grouping to destroy the 3rd when viPro tapped out despite having 70 probes but a much weaker army and less production.

viPro went chargelot-Archon, but didn't get storm. That's like going bio but not getting stim or combat. Huge mistake.

That was one problem. Second, ForGG went for a baserace and took out all the tech and production, while viPro attacked up into a choke at ForGG's bases.

Well, while viPro fucked that up royally, we still need to give him credit for beating Feast and Gowser, as well as putting ForGG up against the ropes. He really exceeded expectations, just unfortunate his run came to such a tragic end.

the entire map is a minefield, mine drops, hellbat drops, hellbat-tank compositions.... its so hard not to take economic damage and then your composition is also weaker head2head.

I'm a protoss so I like Adel, but if you watch him stream sometime, it looks soooo slow. It's kind of a mystery to me how he's been able to keep winning games at a high level through all these years. On the other hand, as a slow player myself, watching Adel succeed gives me hope ^^

Surprising match.
A very surprising Vipro and a disappointing forGG even if he provided some sick moves.

Each team is allowed to have a player not on their team to participate with them. There are only two jokers so far: Socke plays for Karont3 and ToD plays for Millienium.

In a very close match like K3 vs Millenium with line-ups kinda similar in strength, you can't lose two games against the 4th best player from the other team. And you can't ask to ForGG to be stellar in every clan war, that's why Millenium needed 2 or 3 kills before sending ForGG.

He's not far off. Given that ForGG had a revive, and looking at how he playing the the qualifiers, ForGG was absolutely key, the central piece to Millenium's strategy. Having Feast or Gowser would be nice, but ForGG is the king of Millenium

Goswser is capable of all-killing K3, Feast could if he trained too. That's why they lost the match, not because ForGG was under-performing. ForGG is a monster when he is on a roll but sometimes, he can make critical mistake too. Perhaps most consider Millenium as ForGG plus some foreigners but in my opinion (shared by many M fans here) Feast and goswser's performance are critical to its success because ForGG isn't Summer TaeJa or Winter HerO !

I like the coverage of this cup very much so far. (TakeTV+Rotti)

But who had the idea for this format?
An all-kill format (contrary to Proleague format) is already favouring teams with 1 strong player, because he can allkill the opposing team.
And there have been quite some examples where a team got carried (Team Taeja IPL TAC 3).

Now you add an ace-player, so the star player gets a second chance to kill all of the opponent`s players. Already this is not a real "team"-cup anymore. Then the "reviving" on top of that is just the icing on the cake.

In Liquid vs ROOT we could have seen 4 times Taeja vs Yugioh (if Yugioh would have won game 6 and then Taeja is Liquids ace).

The problem with this format is that it eliminates strategic elements that make cws so appealing compared to one player series. Let`s take an hypothetical matchup between TL and Millenium. Both have a clear standout player (Taeja/Forgg). So if the two teams would face each other the top priority is to eliminate the opponents ace without risking your own one. That`s where snipers come into play who use very specialised styles. But if you can revive your ace over and over the cws are decided basically in a bo3 of the aces.

I like the format quite a lot, but the extra two revives per season are too much. Even TaKe was confused by it as he said that a week before that a team can't revive twice per clanwar. The rule isn't even fair for the teams it is used against (these should be the weaker teams but yesterday it was used against stronger teams~~).

I see the joker/mercenary thing as a transitional thing. If the league succeeds to establish a healthy clan scene, it should be abolished in the next season. I think the rule was included because there are so many individually sponsored players/small teams around TaKe that he didn't want to exclude them (Grubby, Targa, Monchi, Xlord, Socke).

KOTH system is much easier to organize and more exciting than multiple preset matches. There should be other team leagues that use the other format, though.

I like the ace-revive thing. It gives more weight to the star player. Obviously, this is one of the parameters how much you favor imbalanced teams vs balanced teams. In the end, the crowd judges if they like it or not as it's a matter of taste. I liked it in the NGL1 already and there was this funny little Chinese tournament, Road of the King, where the clan war was played trading card style (with cards like "revive", "change map", "block opponents card", ...). Not saying that the RotK format should be used in highly competitive tournaments, but it was fun once in a while.
