Rooting for Welmu. Interesting to see, how Sascri can do against Welmu.
|
Thank you Andrei C and Madals for putting this on!
I'm so hyped to see Sascri's first game for mYinsanity. Should be good.

haha thx ^^^
i like both players here tbh - Sacsri not so well known on the foreign scene, but he is well known in KR, and currently also nr 1 on NA ladder - and Welmu is a fantastic player but he has a very serious competition here 
|
Nice! Good luck  Welmu.
|
Hyped to see Sacsri in action for the first time under the mYi banner :D

The series starts in less than 24 hours now! Any last predictions?
|
This will be cool! My favourite European vs Korean I always thought had cool style in proleague!
E: Welmu 5-4 Sacsri, Want to see all games!

Sacsri should have this, probably 4-2
|
Sacsri's been doing well on Korean ladder, too, consistently toe-to-toe with the highest ranked players. I've never seen him vs European players, but I'd expect him to take it with no more than a single loss. This would be a great opportunity for Welmu to show off some clever play.
|
<3 this showmatch concept.
$200 from Emperor Xtornzvt and some legwork by Maddals teh Mad, and we suddenly have two fine gladiators fighting for our entertainment in the virtual Colloseum. Whee!
I don't want to predict anything, I'm just gonna eat popcorn and cheer for Finland
|
May I ask on which server they will play? Or is it going to alternate between EU and NA?
|
I would assume all games are played on NA since Welmu is in Eu and Sacsri in Kr

For the sake of clarity - the games were actually played out earlier in the week so the cast will be live (I have not seen the games nor do I know anything about them). This was to make sure players could play at a good time for their time zones and also on a server to minimize lag issues

Welmu's third base wall is so awesome
|
welmu basicly maxed on nothing but gateway units D;
|
Looks like Sacri likes banes
|
apparently this game was open for bets on bettingsites even though it was played a few days ago o_O I know the result, should've bet this month's income

Welmu doing his 3nexus then gate

pls teach me how to win the lottery kind Sir

I often hope to catch scarlett or jaedong streaming, but sacsri has turned out to be a diamond in the rough. Always like 200 viewers in the wee hours.
|
He is once he becomes eligible for competitions, we will hear a LOT about Sacsri, he's so insanely good.
|
I had to leave at 4-1, did Sascri take the next game?

Thanks for the showmatch and quick vods, Madals.

wow this looks a little more one sided than I was expecting
|
Sacsri pretty much figured out how Welmu played after the first game and then took advantage of it. Would of liked to see Welmu go for a build that didn't focus on just gateway units.
Congratz to Sacsri!
