ehm okay i guess you have a different opinion? explain this please: this cheese guy is waiting with his infestors for 2 fungals each, then makes his big move. casters open up the worker count after he killed like 30 worker (28 i think?). and its 39 vs 37 worker or something like that. whats the point in killing 30 workers when you are even after killing them?

next thing i see is that catz is like 40 supply ahead. he attacks and runs into a defensive position in absolute horrible fashion. one roach after another. he loses 30 supply, its 160vs150 when he realises that fighting with 1 roach against 20 isn't the best idea and he tries to retreat. i just can not understand and it does not look like good gameplay.

maybe someone can explain to me how/what/etc this is above diamond level gameplay.

I think you were confused as to who is who. Catz was the one with the infestors. Easy to get confused when the overlay has the wrong supply next to each name (crap overlay).

He plays in the America qualifier this weekend. I don't believe he played today.

DeMuslim did not check in for this qualifier.

He has another go on sunday and can there win one of 3 spots in a shorter tournament with only 16 people then.
Maybe that is why he did today not check in.

Axslav apparently took the first game of Illusion, sick life! Apparently with 120 APM

. Axslav, the people's champion!

Axslav playing Illusion in a live tourney while on camera and chatting with Axeltoss on the MLGSC2 stream is... surreal. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone.

Axeltoss: "Forget about it; maps are overrated. You have photon overcharge." lolz

Wait - CatZ is a US resident? I'm pretty sure he's not a US citizen (and you have to meet at least one of these requirements to play in this tourney).
