Format 5 Best of One 1v1 matches and 1 Best of One 2v2 match. In the event of a tie, one final ace match may be played (players who played in both the 1v1 match and 2v2 match may not play in the ace match).
Canada wins 4-1 (4-2 with forfeit Desrow loss) over USA! We will try to put up a better fight next time. Hopefully we can do more of these in the future, hope you all enjoyed it too! Thanks for watching
Canada earns their trophy, and it will be up to the US to change it in the next nation war . . .

Aw man, this is gonna be so hype. Really hope that Xenocider plays in this, he would be so clutch in a TvP match. Also, wonder if Minigun will play, seeing as he's going part-time right now?

Does USA even stand a chance ? Not to say they are bad but I don't really see top american players except Suppy, qxc can maybe do something but that is pretty much it. Canada has better players overall. Maybe USA can take one or two points back home though.

To be fair they're also known for Thorzain, Jinro, Haypro, The Sedins (you're a Canadian, you can't pretend not to know them, even if you only watch hockey during playoffs), smoking hot babes and ikea.
Come up with the best lyrics for a team Canada theme song. Personally, I had in mind an adaptation of a Canadian classic "Barrett's Privateers" (For reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIwzRkjn86w)

Ahh yeah, so many names coming back to me ~_~ and wow, a link of WGTour and it even has WSL on it, that's super old school. I remember I actually played one of the korean progamers (went 1-1 lulzzzzz) on the WSL who was in the Korean Dream Team (which apparently were all korean progamer smurfs), but for the life of me I can't remember what his aka was. Was a Terran player, eh, oh well..
Goswser (USA) and Desrow (CAN) announced to finish out the lineups for the nation war! Unfortunately, Scarlett could not attend due to needing a break between all her tournaments / traveling. Maps will be posted soon!
Yeah without Scarlett this is going to be close. Huk might just close it out, but I feel like xeno is on the up. Goswer gets merked by Koreans but that doesn't mean he can't beat foreigners.

In all seriousness, these are really balanced lineups, and I don't know who wins. Canada's top end is I think still a little bit stronger even without Scarlett, but given the proleague format I could easily see, say, Suppy>Desrow and then Hitman>Hendralisk coinflip going towards hitman, at which point Canada would need to win all three remaining matches, which would be pretty hard. On the flip side, if hitman and desrow's matches don't go like that, then it starts looking tricky for USA.
Dude, Scarlett was all like "Fuck yeah I'ma stomp these muricans and make some easy bank, fo sho". Then she found out Hitman was participating. Rumours have it several Canadian players have sought political asylum in Switzerland after finding out Hitman was playing.

Hitman would never be able to beat Scarlett again. Now that she knows he is all cheese, she would play accordingly.

I agree, no good player will ever lose to a worse player, regardless of circumstances. It's not like every single pro gamer ever has a few stupid losses to people they would normally beat. Scarlett, after toppling Life, Stardust and Jakjji in ASUS, simply could not match up to the awesome, towering majesty of Hitman. All hail, new NA bonjwa and foreigner saviour.

Eh, without Scarlett I think team USA is going to win. Especially if QXC is playing well. When he does hes pretty hard to stop. Hendrilisk gets stage fright in every lan I've seen him play, but maybe online will be ok.
Should be good matches, but I still think USA will take this. .
why would anyone want it to be like that bush league? Didn't they allow players to play more than once even when they lose and it wasn't an Ace match? I mean come on now. If you're going to compare it to anything compare it to Winners League or All-Kill in the GSTL. lol

Because it lessens the chance of the series going 4-0 if a the best player on the losing team can be revived adding more excitement. I think it's a great idea.

No, it shows the weakness in a teams line-up. The old homage: you are only as good as your weakest player comes to mind. If a team is going to get spanked. So be it. You learn much more by losing. That's why it's in the best interest to recruit players you can develop. What do you know! EG have Xeno and Suppy (who also helped set this up). Two relatively young guys who haven't reached their personal ceiling yet when it comes to SC2. That's good for business.

It also doesn't allow you to showcase your entire team. I like Jaedong as much as anyone else, but come on. Let's not make it the Jaedong show. It doesn't give the rest of the team good exposure at all and this is why I like the fact we only have 2 rounds of winner league in the PL. How the heck are you supposed to scout players without it? You really can't and that leaves the betters in the dark.
In the desolate, frozen tundra of the far north lies the fabled realm of Canadia, home to the rugged and savage Canadans, a fierce and proud warrior people, famed and dreaded in equal measure for their frequent raids on the verdant lands to the south. Now Winter is Coming, and the time has come for the Canadan warbands to mount up and move south to pillage and plunder yet more wealth.
Though the coming onslaught of Canadans stands poised to wash over the peaceful lands of USA, home of the USAns, in a tidal wave of blood and maple syrup, five warlords of grim repute stand apart from their peers. First among equals is HuK, a mysterious wanderer who will strike with lethal precision and peerless timing, only to suddenly disappear for great lengths of time. Joining him is Kane, a Canadan champion of fearsome strength, like HuK he is a winner of the ancient tournament of Shoutcraft America, won through blood, sweat and carpal tunnel. Also drawing their blades in common cause with these august warlords are Hendralisk, Masa and Desrow the Circumferent, aspiring chieftains in pursuit of glory and riches.
But fear not USAns! Brave champions of light rally to protect the shores of freedom from the barbarian horde!

Well, I've never heard "Canadia" before, but it is close to Acadia, which some region of eastern Canada used to be called. I remember it from social studies
I never heard that before in my life either. Or people calling them Canadans..
Acadia was basically french north america before the british took it over. All Quebecois have "Acadian" heritage. although it refers to a region. Canadia was actually termed by historians as a possible variation on the Huron word "Kanata" which was then Changed by the explorer Jacques Cartier to Canada, on what is now Quebec City. Canadia isnt just a internet phenomenon. The more you know.

I mean come on now. If you're going to compare it to anything compare it to Winners League or All-Kill in the GSTL. lol
Because it lessens the chance of the series going 4-0 if a the best player on the losing team can be revived adding more excitement. I think it's a great idea.
No, it shows the weakness in a teams line-up. The old homage: you are only as good as your weakest player comes to mind. If a team is going to get spanked. So be it. You learn much more by losing. That's why it's in the best interest to recruit players you can develop. What do you know! EG have Xeno and Suppy (who also helped set this up). Two relatively young guys who haven't reached their personal ceiling yet when it comes to SC2. That's good for business.

It wouldn't be a very good showcase of national players if one guys ends up all killing. all-kill is fine for leagues but doesn't make sense as a showmatch.
It also doesn't allow you to showcase your entire team. I like Jaedong as much as anyone else, but come on. Let's not make it the Jaedong show. It doesn't give the rest of the team good exposure at all and this is why I like the fact we only have 2 rounds of winner league in the PL. How the heck are you supposed to scout players without it? You really can't and that leaves the betters in the dark.
I see your point, but if it goes 3-0 in regular format then you still don't get two see two players from both teams. Also the problem for me with regular format is that you often end up with too many mirror matches as both teams tend to send out the race strongest for each map. Winner's league format is more unpredictable and thus, for me, more exciting.
Also it's not like winner's league always ends up with an all-kill by one player- I've seen some great back and forth series in the past with players from both teams taking turns eliminating each other and, without Scarlet playing, I don't see anyone that likely to all-kill on either team in this match-up.
Anyway, I think both formats have their good and bad points. The ideal for me would be if they could play a series of each, and then an ace match for decider if needed.

For the same reason the land of the Dutch is called Dutchland and the land of the Danes is called Daneland, it makes sense.

I think I might have learned about that back in grade 7 which was over seventeen years ago. How time flies! O_O Still I cannot recall anyone else saying Canadia or Canadan to me ever, It just sounds so weird.

Canada still actually has stronger players than most countries outside of Korea.
Like...let's see...Germany has a stronger lineup, China probably has a stronger lineup but it's hard to tell when they play online tournaments with horrendous lag, Australia could...probably give Canada a fight, but I'd give the edge to Canada I think. Similarly for Russia--would be close, but I think I'd give Canada a slight edge in this format. Sweeden of course is very good. And...hm, actually Ukraine also has a pretty scary lineup; not sure which country is better there.
Point is, Canada is arguably in the top 5 countries in terms of teams we can field. Which isn't bad given that Canada has a smaller population than many of these countries. (Smaller population than South Korea too, for what it's worth). Obviously the lineup is going to look a little worse without Scarlett, though.

Team Russia is basically team Happy+TitaN T_T Happy is undoubtedly the best foreign terran, he has stellar control but his decision making needs work. TitaN can PvP out Canadian protosses. Other than that I have no idea Team Ukraine might have DIMAGA, Strelok, Bly, fraer, and HappyZerg. Looking better than Russia but with three zergs ready to be sniped You forgot team Poland. MaNa, Nerchio, uzer, TEFEL, and finally Tarson are decent polish players

I think both Canada and USA are as strong as any of the EU countries (Canada being the stronger with scarlett, huk ). Sweden and Ukraine are not what they were a couple of years ago. White Ra is well off the pace these days, and DIMAGA isn't as successful either. Strelok and Kas are solid. Fraer was inactive i thought, although I saw him appear on a stream the other day.

Mmm...well here's what I get if I average the Aligulac rating of the top 5 players in each country.
1 South Korea 2005.6 2 Germany 1555.2 3 Sweeden 1524.4 4 Canada 1499.2 5 Russia 1490.6 6 China 1490.2 7 Ukraine 1482 8 Poland 1447.4 9 Australia 1424.4 10 USA 1372 11 Finland 1361.4 12 Denmark 1360.8 13 France 1355.2 (not couning Stephano due to retirement) 14 Netherlands 1318.2
(All other countries have an average below 1300 for their top 5 players on Aligulac).

Well Canadia is missing both Scarlett and Maximusblack, so they are going without their two top players.
Maximusblack. Top player. Sure. maybe if the game is cheesing better opponents, and even then hes outclassed by hitman.
But he has lots of viewers on his stream, and I see him winning all the time and he is so funny, how is not a top player?
Anyway, any news on whether Hitman is still in this thing after being a giant dick to Bomber for no apparent reason?
why wouldn't he? and what does bomber have to do with this? also what exactly did he do to bomber just out of curiousity.
He was BMing Bomber and harassing him in between games, being really fucking rude and obnoxious for no reason. I don't think a person like that should be allowed to participate in something like this, which is done mostly for fun and to promote local NA starcraft. There should be consequences for acting like a douche.

He wasn't BM'ing Bomber personally, after the stream started whining about 'cheesy protoss' and 'imba race' hitman decided to join the chat and troll them for a while.
Lol. No, he even told Bomber to get out of NA server as only good players are allowed there. Certainly wasn't aimed at the stream chat. Bomber put him on ignore and reported him shortly after :p
I think it looks like a pretty lucky draft for USA, regardless should be a fun / close match, Latin America's ready for whichever one of you pussies accepts our challenge.

Yeah, not too worried about this. Plenty of players are BM.
It does concern me that I saw posts on reddit claiming that Hitman was being investigated for maphacking prior to shoutcraft, but I assume he must have passed the investigation since they allowed him to participate in shoutcraft.
Canadans are a vicious bunch, not satisfied with the blood of their enemies, they turn on one another to sate their lust for battle. They're kind of like WH40k orcs.
Fully aware of how much this sounds like grovelling, but as a last ditch effort: @TotalBiscuit if you are feeling at all tired or anything and would like a co-caster, Rifkin is a very capable Canadian caster who would love the chance to volunteer to cast this, because there's so few opportunity's to rock a Canadian related event. \m/ one way or another, I hope everyone involved has a good time!

I dunno how analytical Rifkin is honestly, when I've heard Basetrade casts it seems like Zombiegrub is the analyst of the pair. Personally I have no problem with Basetrade streaming too, but I generally like to pair with analysts because otherwise it gets really awkward knowing when to talk and about what.
So if Basetrade wants to do a second stream, as long as the organisers are ok with it, they're more than welcome, but I'll probably solo cast this on my stream.
The scoreboard in the OP says Kane > hitman and I think Canada won the 2v2. What other game was played? (I'd look through the last few pages of this thread to try and fine out, but I'm on poverty internet at the moment.)
Canada wins 4-1 (4-2 with forfeit Desrow loss) over USA! We will try to put up a better fight next time. Hopefully we can do more of these in the future, hope you all enjoyed it too! Thanks for watching
Canada earns their trophy, and it will be up to the US to change it in the next nation war . . .
Wow canada so good! Congratulation to kane, huk, masa... but HENRY OMG you're a BEAST! Such a good innovative strategy. That's exactly what I want to see when I watch matches like those. I love you! <3

How come we had like all Protoss? Why didn't ROOTVibe play? Or some other players like JonSnow or something? That's weak. I feel USA could've had a much better lineup. puCK should've played as well.

Organize a rematch, or just like, congratulate the winner.
