Wow, cool tournament, similar in style to how MSI Pro Cup used to run, except with more players. Expecting Polt, TaeJa, Scarlett and HyuN to defeat their opponents and qualify.
The cup is powered by GigaByte AND Daylimotion. Since Tod and Millenium has close relationship, i guess they asked him to use it. Tod may also prefer to cast on Dayli.

That's a sick all in, I predict a lot of trouble for Zerg players if a world class Protoss player like Parting does it, and goes right in without delaying.
Life, we need you to crack this push, because when Scarlett can scout it that early and still lose by a huge margin, then it's time for the prodigy to crack the code.

Tails showed that build yesterday, it's basically an Immortal sentry(-without sentries) all in off of one gas. I'm not sure what Scarlett could have done to stop it, and I fear for the other Zerg players if Parting gets his hands on this build.

Immortals without forcefields doesn't sound so scary, couldn't you take the edge off of it with a bunch of speedlings? Is it really that potent, and what did they do before the soul-train came to play?

Well, it's mass (and by mass I mean mass) zealots as well. It's such a well thought out build, and I can't begin to think what a player with Parting's micro (admittely far better than Feast's and Tail's.) can do with it.
Holy shit, Hyun clocking in at 559 apm in a macro game. He might have tunnel vision and not perfect decision making, but mechanically he is absolutely insane. And yeah, the APM might fuck up sometimes, but he is the fastest player I've ever seen stream.
Dayshi is incredibly good and hard working, but I kind of fear that Terran players can be too greedy with mines and mules in TvZ. I mean, Dayshi held an unscouted roach nydus all in with triple CC and double ebays, and with ease as well.
Sadly (or hopefully in which side you are), they have to play on EU. And at about 18CEST maybe later. So Korean players but ForGG will suffer from lag, unless they come to play in Europe.

Nop WCS EU is on EU server

Thank you! All WCS EU games are played on EU server. I see.
Korean will suffer from lag...but in my opinion Korean should take such a ''region change risk''. If no risk exsist,all SC2 scene will be dominated by Koreans(I think WCS NA will be completely dominated by Korean in the future.)
You are welcome. I will ask if Millenium manager can edit it as soon as possible. But you can check the link "original thread on M" even though it's the french link, there are bracket and English version.
It happened there was a mistake made by Milllenium manager. He told Polt that he would play on Saturday (as well to Feast). But today he realized he made a mistake. :p

Edit : it's going to be updated.
I search through the 'Millinium' page, but never found the bracket. Neither in English nor french. And on most pages they had some weird stream starting slowing my frantic search, on my netbook, down.
The problem with having a bracket posted on the 'clan/tournament' website, is that they have their own order or system. An Avid TL visitor such as myself devours several new tournaments each week, and while it might seem 'lazy', it's really a waste of time to use 30 min searching / learning a website setup, if I just want to scan the tournament setup/bracket/system, which takes roughly 30 sec to 2 min by itself.
wiki.teamliquid, really solves that problem :D And also removes the language barriers (Be it french, german, russian or korean)

This attack smelled really good but I think that the GG was maybe a bit premature from TaeJa. Your defense against the hellions was great !
No no, the game was over when Taeja lost all his hellions at Gosuuser's third, without killing "anything". Gosuuser was three base saturated with the fourth going up, Taeja would have been at two bases, no energy on his CCs (used all on mules at his third), no units and not too many scv's.
It wasn't Taeja at his best, but Gosuuser deserves credit. He played well against Bomber at MLG and played very well today (even though Taeja decided to make the game 1 ten times harder than it should have been by going mech ).

Gratz Adelscott!
Oh yes, I know that TaeJa was in a very bad spot after his failed attack on Goswser's third but I think he might have been able to turtle on two bases a bit longer. But I have the feeling that he wasn't really motivated for this cup after Proleague a few hours before. But this has nothing to do with Goswser's play which was really good !
Damn Millenium ! you're ALWAYS forgetting to put the English stream on the TL front page. It was the SAME thingh for MSI pro cups. I'm really sad seeing you missing some many viewers in your tournaments....

French and english streams were on Dailymotion so you won't find any VODs of those streams. Maybe you can go on Mori (german) or Emil (polish) channels on twitch and try to find them.

EDIT : For those who might wonder about the servers, the first two games between Goswser and Dayshi were played on NA, the next two games will be played on EU. Don't remember about the possibly fifth.
I can't believe what is actually happening. OK it's just the first game and Symbol can still win this 3-1 but Dayshi's play is absolutely insane this week.
Kas is once again forgot about armor 3,, there were 3 games in dreamhack where he did that, now again. such a disappointment that after 3 years of pro gaming he cant remember to finish upgrades.

There was so much going on at the same time yesterday. German finals, Finnish finals, Europe vs CIS, Yegwens tournament with Kas, Happy and Bly and more. Viewers scattered all over the place. Also there is so much focus on WCS that the others simply gets neglected.

That sucks. I guess it's always going to be rough to compete with WCS, but having all those other tournaments in the mix certainly doesn't help.
Ehh, I guess the last two games were okay, but game 1 was winnable. At least HyuN continues on, though he really has to focus better if he wants to defeat the winner of Stephano vs Arthur.
Its funny how HyuN struggled so much against Skytoss before, but he is so efficient at dismantling Arthur's Skytoss build now. Goes to show to Zerg vs Skytoss goes down to proper compositions, correct engagements and Viper usage.
After seeing Polt vs Naniwa on Polt's stream yesterday I'm 100% sure that DH was a fluke and that PoltvP is back. The first game vs Mana was dominance.
Polt got too complacent on his anti-Muta defense, and he lost his supply advantage from before, plus allowed Bly to increase his tech and didn't drop or be aggressive enough.
English stream yesterday was lagging like a hell for me. The French one and german were better but I could not understand anything. I hope the finals will be casted in English. It makes no sense to cast just in French unless the sponsors only care about the French market.
I just asked to Llewellys on the stream chat, no date yet. As the 8 qualified players are already known, it seems that there is not emergency to rush to play the finals. I'll tell you the date as soon as I know.
OK, it's now confirmed by the Millenium TV schedule (there was a gap until today), the final between Kas and HyuN will be played tomorrow at 18:30 CET, just after the Francophone Championship.
During the final, the 2 sets of the GIGABYTE WINDFORCE 3X graphics cards (GV-R795WF3-3GD) and gaming peripheral (Aivia Krypton Dual-chassis Gaming Mouse and Aivia Osmium Mechanical Gaming Keyboard) with a total value of over 1,000 USD will be randomly awarded to the 6 lucky winners who have joint our voting contest on GIGABYTE Aivia forum.

*Since Symbol qualified for WCS season final, he wouldn't have been able to attend the final phase. Thus Squirtle will take his place (cause it's Squirtle, he is playing from Europe and his 3rd place at NMHC was worth an invitation :D )
It will be a tough week-end with all these finals.
The clock is ticking for former eSF players. If they can't consistently beat foreigners, they will be forced out of the scene just like PuMa or Miya. Clearly since KeSPA's arrival, they taste the medicine they gave to foreigners for so long. Now we will see who were really mentally strong and who just got by using their more advanced system to leech money for foreign tournament.

Not really a bold prediction. He might be the 3rd best European now after Stephano and Lucifron.
I wouldn't go that far, I consider him in the top 3 EU terrans (behind LucifroN and close to Happy). But there are a lot of talented players in Europe who can claim a spot in the top 5/10.
