I guess an OP for the groups would be cool, we have 2 groups each day though. And i find that one LR per group maybe is a bit too much, seeing EU threads do not get too much talk going?

NP NP this is fine. If WCS EU had released something sooner we could have premade something. Thanks for the thread.

Yes
Completly unrelated, but Jim cant go to play at Gamescom T_T
What the heck am i watching in Bly vs San game. Immortals + voids + stalkers against roach hydra, Is San thinking that Blizzard made zerg skins for toss units :D? And now san is up in supply against roach hydra. WTF

It is really rushed now. Well, it had to be expected with Season 3 starting right after end of Season 2 finals. I hope that WCS AM problems are now solved and now we can have smooth Ro32 into Ro16 into finals weekend (i hope it won't be 48 hour long marathon again :D) into break (during which Challenger League is played out for the most of it in EU and AM) into Season 3 finals and Blizzcon.
Apparently, users can't submit events after they've started. I tried to submit one as a user then approve it, which didn't work. So I had to figure out how the calender system works and add it manually myself.
Nerchio abusing the crap out of the Snute build, imagine if SortOf faked him out and went for a delayed speedling build instead. Nerchio would be so dead.

Was not that Nechio who was complaining about Snute building roaches in one LR :D?
That Nerchio.. "i outupgraded you" .. so showing he still thinks he's the better player. But the further HotS goes on, the more I consider him a patchzerg.

ESL put all their eggs toward Premier and neglect Challenger for that. Understandable in a way.
From a fan perspective though, thats not good.
Just an idea that came to my mind: Maybe outsource the whole process to gamesocial.tv so they can produce an (somewhat) independent show and ESL mostly just handles the Premier League?

worst banes ever 1 blew up on the eggs at the hatch so bad
I thought SortOf played from Korea anyway. Dammit, SortOf must get 4th already. Too many minerals floating.
LOL, if this is true, nerchio is going to be pretty mad :D well, it explains his small mistakes
Don't forget, that SortOf and Naniwa went to EG-TL house last time i heard anything about 'em :D Wait, SortOf left without gg or what? EDIT: Meanwhile Targa vs ShowTime have typical german PvZ.
Funny once i put in proper results and maps and scores.. I notice that Group B plays on ESL maps and A doesnt :D (ESL* being the correct ones in the rulebook)

I see that placing 17th-24th gets you $100 and a Premier seed, so you don't make any money at all by playing in the Challenger league, right? Nothing at all for being in the second highest division is a little harsh. I mean twenty bucks for the hours shouldn't be too much to ask for.
I always get nervous when a foreigner decides to take the "get more ahead" approach against a Korean rather than just going for that all-in kill. Lets see if Showtime can channel is inner HasuObs.
Congratz Showtime, you earn your "defender of the continent" medal. To be honest though San is actually one of the Koreans I'd quite like to see in Premier, I think he can take Targa.

San is the Man because when he started winning in GSL he turned from SadZenith into ManZenith.

not even San can overcome the kr-eu lag.
Just how exactly were those games (esp. game 2) determined by lag?
Isn't that easy?
It is fairly straightforward on TL, but FYI:
When a non-Korean beats a Korean, it is:
If an online tournament lag.
If an of offline tournament it depends on the situation. Did the Korean fly last week? Then he had jetlag. Was it outside of Korea? Then the IT guys sabotaged the Korean by giving him a longer network cable. If all else fails his mouse was acting up.
But most important: It is NEVER because the non-Korean played better. That would be ridiculous...

Read my comment on the last page.
I'm not saying it affected the game, i'm just making a general comment about San. Take it as a joke because that's what it was intended as.
