may i help you? i need hurrid Liquipedia post tournament..T_T help me
|
Bomber coming out to play wow. Thanks Dragon
|
|

Hey Dragon
Thanks for putting a tournament
But I think you shouldn't cast this all alone. Listening to only one voice for hours and hour can get a bit tiresome
Invite a co-caster to help you. For example, Golden or some of the english casters who do coverage of on-line tournaments
I'll tune in, regardless, though.
|
|
|
I llike how Illusion and Harstem just seems so.. I don't know, lost in there.
|
Wow, Dragon. Love it. Looking forward to it.
|
Dragon!
Please cast and play as final boss haha
|
Nice! And what a line up! :D
|
dam Dragon! tournament so stacked! hope you get heaps of veiws
|
This could actually be one hell of an online cup, wow. Definitely gonna catch as much of it as possible because Inno is playing. Thanks for organising, Dragon, but isn't 2k a lot of money for one of these things :o

People listen to Khaldor for hours watching ATC. Over 5000 people don't have a problem with him. But I do agree that if there is someone casting as well, it'll be easier on Dragon himself.

|
Dragon NOT Gay!!! <3
On a serious Note. For those of you guys that haven't seen him cast...he's the KR Incontrol version.
Best KR Casters = MC+Dragon+Golden.
|
So awesome you put that up! I would have liked a few more non-Koreans, but surely the qualitiy of the games will be best. Go Symbol!!!
|
|
|
|
|
Sick line up! Kudos to dragon for organizing this Let's get some hype going!
+ Show Spoiler +predicting harstem to win it; it is his year after all
|
Dragon hosting a 2k tournament? Awwesome! Too bad i cannot watch it...
|
Dragon!!! You should invite Golden for casting
|
Isn't innovation supposed to play Code S?
|
dragon you silly! GSL is on now!!
|
ok dragon u silly, i am watching you over gsl :p

WTF Bomber is doing? It seems he's just chilling and not giving a flying @#$% about this tournament
E: thanks for the tourney, Dragon. See you next time!
|
wow amazing dragon :D
but why arent you talking? 
|
Woo Center~! Haven't seen him compete in so long! Hopefully all the former-TSL guys can put on a good show.
Gogo Illusion and Harstem as the foreign hopes! (besides Select but he's a special case but I love him too)
|
Ahah I just tuned in to that, so epic :D
|
Loving this so far. Keep it up Dragon
|
Best commentary EU by far
|

|
Wow that is actually a very stacked lineup.

Why was I warned for this post? Clearly Firebolt145 knows nothing about Dragon....
I'm a fan of Dragon, and everyone knows asking him if he is gay has been a running joke in his stream chat for several months. People ask him this because they want him to be gay so they have a chance with him.
Isn't it terrible explaining inside jokes? Kinda ruins the humor. Don't warn people on things you know nothing about, tsk tsk.

That's the way this forum is run, if some mod doesn't like you face he bans you.
They just make up reasons on the fly.
The TOS doesn't say anything about memes:
7. Prohibited Conduct
TeamLiquid shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to monitor, refuse or remove any content for any or no reason, including any content that violates these Terms of Use or is otherwise objectionable. The following types of conduct are prohibited and, if exhibited through postings on the site, TeamLiquid may exercise its enforcement rights:
Vulgar, obscene, hateful, abusive, political or religious content
Disclosure of private information or content that is not your own or that you do not have the right to provide to the public, such as:
personal phone numbers, addresses or other contact information that is not your own
private information such as social security numbers
copyrighted content or trade secrets
Off-topic content not relevant to our community
Advertising or promotion of third party products, services or organizations without prior arrangement
Content or links to content that contain viruses, trojan horses, logic bombs, infinite loops, system despoilers, mainframe viruses, trap doors, zero bugs or similar destructive features that may damage someone else's computer
Duplicate or excessively repeated submissions in one or more areas
Content used to impersonate another person
Content or behavior that violates any applicable laws
Content or behavior that interferes with the operation of the site or with another member's ability to use the site
Evading site controls such as bans, or otherwise disregarding the directions of the site moderators or administrators
But lets assume memes were not allowed for whatever reason.
I wonder why memes like "Kappa" are punished but stuff like the "NASL sound guy" are not.
Of course you have the rights to enact any law you want, it's you site.
But arbitrarily banning stuff you personally don't like just makes you look silly and leads to people not taking the rules seriously.

all respect to ryung but i have no idea what symbol was doing... he ran out onto the map and engaged off creep with no bane speed and then sat scared in his natural doing nothing when he probably had enough to push ryung back

Wasn't really clutch I don't think, I mean Symbol would have won anyway because of his bank and the map size of Frost.

You'll be glad Dragon somehow muted his mic for the last 10 mins then.
Dude's still casting but nobody can hear him.

dragon grubby voice is fricking amazing

Haha, seriously. Putting real Grubby to shame.

They turned it off. Just need to wait for the stream delay

Once again, I truly apologize for that. I've never encountered the viewership I experienced today so it's never been an issue before. It's a file I've created so I have to edit the sound clip to tone it down. It's been COMPLETELY removed until then so THANK YOU for your feedback, honestly. And thank you for your patience in the delay messing with my attempts to resolve it without missing any of the action.
I will make it up to you guys if I can. Thank you for all the followers, sorry for the ear aches. It was bittersweet after all 
See you guys for Day 3!
<3,
Anoteros and Punish

why no dragon casting

|

Got 16 Zerglings in your base with only three Queens and a Spine Crawler? Drone up according to HyuN and you should only lose five Drones.
|
Hydra transition was suspect from Symbol knowing Speed Banes were out for HyuN.
|
Finally! Music during the game! Why can't more tournaments do this?
|
jesus christ, Inno, being that good should be illegal
|
Impact get wrecked so hard by INnoVation... not even fun :/
|
any vods with Dragon casting?
i want to sample and listen to his "unique" casting

All the Inno vods will also be in his fanclub. Center games are already linked on the latest page! Impact vods incoming

Winner of HyuN vs INoVation I think will take the whole tournament.
|
|
|
Dragon is doing a really good job casting this so far And sometimes he gets Grubby on skype so he can cast a game or two ^_^ Really awesome tourney
|
Looking forward to tonight's matches'
|
Dragon, your casting is great - very excited, just like Korean commentators :D
|
Dragon is such an amazing caster hahahahah

The stars lined up, the Hellbat is once again at large. Time for Bogus to rise.

Are you Downfall? haha
I have to say that the game were playing before the hellbat patch, and INnoVation play a standard bio mine composition

Yes, it's me. Oh, it's casted from replays? OK.

J''ai bien aimé ton interview sur millénium, GL pour le fulltime
Yes i'm pretty sure it's replays! And even if it's not replay INnoVation won without hellbat

INno's parade push so relentless. Macro and micro so good. RagnaroK with no chance. Such good play.
|
Ok now I'm totally convinced he will get ro8 in GSL !

Oh really? So INnoVation really bluff everyone earlier, he stream some hour and did a lot of hellbat things, and use mech in TvZ. Now he's juste playing biomine ^^ But it's strange that he don't use the hellbat transformation... The main point is that he is wrecking another zerg player, keep going BoguS !
|
Dragon's cast is making every game even more enjoyable to watch.

Throwing? Pure Marines/Mines/Medivacs against ultras/banes/broods is never going to work unless you have +80 supply or something.

He was absolutely not prepared for Broodlords
|
Maybe... just maybe Anoteros could switch into the game, instead of this screensaver.

Thanks for the tournament, Dragon!

Great tournament Dragon - thanks so much for getting such a good set of players to compete!
|
I finally could tune in. Only 5 min have passed and I'm already lmao!! Dragon is craaazy, super fun, I hope the tourney is going well because I'd love to have more of these in the future
|
Thanks Dragon for organizing this tournament!
|
I have to say , I missed the tournament.. but am watching the vods.
Dragon is a -very very very- every use of very is gramatically justified by how entertaining of a caster he is:D
Best part -- "sick medivac snipe" "Sick micro" "sick surround" "bbq" maybe i am terran so i cant hear any bias but as a caster besides hanging around the terran base.. just a bit more than the zergs lol, he does a really good job at giving both players shared credit in skill :D
I would instant sub to GSL ... proleague , etc etc if dragon was one of the engrish casters :D
|
Dragon did good. Hopefully we'll see another tournament from him.
|
Innovation with some sick micro. Engage with the bio first to line up the zerglings, then flank with hellions.
|
My first post, just wanna say: Dragon awesome.
|
United Kingdom31935 Posts
|
Awesome games.... haha. Thanks Dragon!
|
Does anyone know where the VODs for Day 1 is? I can only see Vods for Day 2 and 3.
|
VODs for Day 1 don't exist as of right now. Someone posted a link of them recording Dragon's stream on Day 1 and casting over it in another language. I was brought on board Day 2.
UPDATE: Day 4 VODs will be uploaded by the end of day TODAY. I apologize for the delay.
