No way Inno is playing unless he gets invited. His Code A matches start at 9:00am GMT.

These quals are going to be absolutely ridiculous. Somehow a CJ player will probably make it, undoubtedly by knocking out Life and, ahem, Roro in the process. Which would be very sad.

Casted by ESL or community casters?
|
Who knows I guess; maybe no coverage and mass f5ing?

We're trying to log on to cast it, however, with the patch yesterday and our Clients refusing to let us log on without updating, i'm having a really hard time logging on KR servers.
I tried logging directly on to the KR server from the Battle.net app WITHOUT patching and it refused to let me on until I patched.

well that's weird,  sOs is in the bracket even though he is invited directly into stage 2

Is there another stream somewhere to watch this? Or any word on when the ESL stream will be up?

oh man, i want to watch so many of these
Fantasy vs Sniper and YongHwa
Flash vs Myungsik
|
Flash vs myungsik must be sick
|
|
|
Not for lack of trying, but I'm going to call #cursed on this one. I can connect to KR server but can not connect to any streaming servers from Xsplit/FFsplit/Obs at the moment (assuming it's ISP related). Best of luck to Kaelaris on getting things fixed in the ESL studio T___T! (I'll have to continue my bad sleeping patterns and SC2 addiction another day)

I just realize Kal has never won a straight up macro game :/ His cheesy plays are entertaining though

kal's play is kinda eh, he gets supply blocked and takes bad engagements a lot, but he looks like he's working hard to improve
|

I just turned the stream on as Cure's victory screen came up. He won with mech both games? Was it like the Maru vs. Soulkey, Flash vs. (zerg) games from the past few days?

It's his ESL account and it used the account MarineKing. They reported an actual score rather than a 1-0 walkover

Is Kassia just some new kid playing for Prime? Born in 1995... pretty young.

Ahh the kid who lost to Stork, breaking his loss streak... who seemed super nervous and played pretty frantically!
