late thread!
I'm really surprised by some of the invites
|
|
|
At least two terrans got invited :O
Btw I submitted the two events to the calendar, but I wonder why you guys from IEM/ ESL don't do it yourself? I mean it's cheap advertisment and everybody check TL for Starcraft 2 streams.
|
France7248 Posts
ah, I guess SortOf is the 12th player then 
edit, actually, you added 3 players, TargA and Welmu too
|
i allways like the and Africa could just put Europe and PandaTank qualifier xD
|
Oh my god if Nerchio or Thorzain come to Singapore... :D :D :D
|
Go Go Africa!
With our internet connection this side we can be glad we have one player.
|
Same here, Livezerg signed up, but is qualified for WCG.
Someone may wanna tell him about the datwe conflict.
|
France7248 Posts
only 36 players registered so far, and it starts in less than 3 hours
|
Well to be fair last years EU quali for Singapore has only had 43 checkins (Stage1)
Does not seem to be a very popular or established destination maybe? Little do they do know what Grubby knows.
|
66 signed now. I have to manually accept the players.
|
|
|
Wow, I saw this by chance. Hope the players aren't as ignorant about this event as I was until 2 minutes ago...
|
Should by called EU and Pandatank. 
Anyways, I hope a couple of Germans can make it through, even though they have to fight all they way from Stage 1.

Are all the games played at the same time?
EDIT: yes
|
Games are played as soon as they are ready to be played.
|
this pvp is so passive. wow
|
I worry for Happy.
This mech looks unpolished and Beastyqt was playing similarly before his retirement.
|
i think even with a normal mech build, that roach drop is so hard to do any damage with
|
Anybody know what happened with Snute? looks like a forfeit..
|
How did Happy win last game against Ret?

Ret has no more minerals to make any lings and low muta count, he was only on ~one mining base while Happy is also on one but with mules and pretty consistent bio mine production
(basically not enough resources to break that mine count because he just don't have the ling baneling count to do so)

ret thought it was a good idea to attack into 3-3 marines with muta's a couple times and he kept running banelings into mines and on top of that the reluctance to go up to hive even though he has 3k gas...

He's not here. TL Manager tried calling him but no response. He's got some more time to show for his LB game now.

grubby pvz became heroic lately

happy needs to add starports, I don't understand why he isn't getting any

That was a very entertaining game.

I guess swarmhost would had been a better choice than bl in that situation

I thought mech is bad, why would Happy do it :O
|
That drone line picked the wrong time to return.
|

|
Honestly, i was hopeing for a "I AM NESTEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" moment..

It's so hard to mech things happen with this style
|
Nerchio could just basetrade asap when Happy moves out, don't think he can lose that way.
Btw did Happy go mech first game as well? Map?
|
10 thors do awesome vs mutas .. well not as good as how they worked in wol

Lol, Nerchio. That was cool BM.

Why no swarm host Nerchio??

that was a horrible fight for nerchio

rofl effective drop micro right there!

Yeah, strange choice. Also crappy upgrades, should just pump em up! Can afford it on 7 bases
And you don't wanna siege your tanks vs ultras. Less DPS, later attack and hits your own units.

Delay on stream, so guess it ends soon!
Cool to see mech work! But yeah, adding SH to the tech switch obviously mechs it a lot harder.
How did Happy open? Hellion-banshee or hellbat drops?

Really awesome that Happy won, and that even with Mech!
But sad that Nerchio was "punished" for not using SHs :/ i dont like them aswell..

Why it is news for anyone? Thors are sick single-target DPS. Obviously they are like perfect mech unit against ultras.

Sortof and Mana playing musical hatcheries.
And happy is playing mech again.
What is it about Frost that it's the only map where he does that.
|
Russian Federation40186 Posts
Turned on the sound and hear casters thinking that Grubby will get charge when he got +1 armor and went collosi.
EDIT:
Is SCV pull so strong against such a tech heavy play or Grubby played bad? Someone, enlighten the guy who only plays TvZs, ZvZs and ZvTs.
|
you cant win without storm if your opponent has a decent number of vikings.

France7248 Posts
lol Mana recalled before killing the hatch

It's Singapore, of course Grubby qualifies .

Great series of games by Grubby.

Go MorroW! 
|
Why not make it three spots? Don't be so cheap, IEM. Nobody likes a cheaper.
|
I'm impressed that MorroW made it this far in this qualifier considering he hasn't looked good for a long time.

We don't host every single match. It's simply not possible to collect all the replays.
For those we do have, we will release 21 days after the event.
|
Almost there MorroW, keep at it!
|
Bitter for MorroW I'm sure, fighting his way through Stage 1 & Stage 2 only to lose both the winner's final and the loser's final. Hopefully there will be time for revenge soon enough! 
|
Still no word on what Snute was upto?
EDIT:
@LiquidSnute
@AllianceSortOf @robinnymann sorry. i failed so hard at real life that i didn't even get the chance to fail at starcraft
|
So sad for MorroW =/ Really wanted him to qualify.
