Minigun has looked unstoppable so far, he is probably the best player in NA at this moment. If he can beat Major who is playing like he was yesterday, he should be able to take this without too much trouble.
I'm really hoping for a lag free stream today. The only series' I cared about yesterday. (Minigun) were all unwatchable with no lag on the other series. Extremely weird and probably coincidence. Am I gonna see my boi play today in a motion picture format or a slideshow with a one minute refresh rate?

It's just like they said, Major got away with insane greed with 0 consequences, and his macro and mechanics are just better than Kane's. There was no real way Kane was holding that timing.
Also, banshees are so underutilized, they can pack so much damage in such a small amount of space, as long as you have scans they deal with hosts better than anything before mass ravens.

I've never understood why terrans didn't mass banshees more often. They can be so powerful.

Yeah, even being greedy.. Maxing out at 14 minute mark with mech is just WOW, and this 2nd game was also extremely one sided, looks like nothing is going in Kane´s favor today T_T

Usually because your starport pumps Medivacs in TvZ I think.

There is not much to say, Major is better. Kane beat Scarlett with 2 all ins and then kind of did the same thing to Suppy, there is a reason he wanted to avoid standard games. Not a criticism at all, but he does not have the mechanical ability to compete with Major in a standard game.
Well I'm hoping as much as I can for Scarlett to take this, but Minigun has to be the favorite here. Still, she came back from the dead twice already, so who knows.

Brony?
I don't even know what that means.
It's people who like My Little Pony iirc.
Oh. I just googled queen of blades pictures, it was the third. Go figure.

But even Scarlett is not as adorable as Bisu, nor does Major have his multitasking and mechanics.
Also I suddenly have this intense desire for pancakes.
While all true statements and I had pancakes with strawberries cooked in them this morning by the gf, Bisu is not a foreigner and we must appreciate the foreigners that are available. Scarlett and Major both exceptional foreigners to be fans of. Although, I do like minigun too.

Well, despite underperforming this tournament, Scarlett has looked very solid even in her worst matchup of zvp. She did pretty well in the matchup at RedBull last year

Eh true, she just looked so out of sorts in the group stages, and Chad looked so strong. I am definitely happy about it though. Scarlett vs Major in a Bo7 has some amazing potential. Just imagine QXC vs Scarlett on hab station x7.

Cheering for Major, just because I like terran more. Any winner is fine though, just hope we have a great finals!
look at that minchul reaction immediately realising he is not going to get it and not losing a single unit, whereas minigun lost 2 vrs. what a bosstoss

He was too close to the nydus and had no high ground or terrain to use to escape from the queens. Once the rays started doing damage he as committed. Shitty way to go out, but this is honestly his own fault, he is too predictable, and I think Steven and Catz are right in that Scarlett was playing the opponent, not the race.
Now I am looking forward to 4-7 games of swarm host vs mech. I hope you all liked the second game vs QXC on hab station.
More tournaments need to look at how GSL does their in game sound. It's far more epic when you can actually watch a game without the sound being completely drowned out by the casters :/
Scarlett appears to have shed the rust from earlier in the tournament, she is looking crisp and smooth now. Major is just being outplayed, this is pretty awesome to watch.
I definitely see him going mech next game, assuming a decent map for it.
- Major needed the last base, Scarlett moved with all her army on that spot to prevent it, so did Major to defend, but Scarlett won, nice fungals from infestors
hmph, how can it lag at such horrible quality... :/ And it's dead... Right now I'd settle for radio, the games are pretty terrible. The banters all I'm staying for.

Why don't you up the resolution? It supports a range from 360p(default) up to 1080p which looks great. Stream is down now however but that's beside the point.

1080 looks soft too but it buffers every 10 seconds. My crappy uk internet won't go past 720, which definitely doesn't look like 720...
The Hitman debacle has finally been buried and forgotten, the best player in NA is back on her throne. Hugely impressive how she dismantled such a strong terran.

For some reason her and Naniwa seem to grow with the occasion/opponent. Can play poorly against weaker opponents, but play better as the opponents and stakes become tougher and higher.

I mean Scarlett did lost a bunch of games in this little tournament, but I yeah I agree even though it still doesn't say much.

Yeah I agree. I was worried after posting that someone may interpret my post as accusing her of throwing (there was some rumor about that earlier in the tourney). Not my intention and glad nobody jumped on that

She was kind of off kilter, probably rusty. This is far more representative of her true abilities. Think of it as transforming into primal zerg queen form.
