Dragon is Innovation's new sponsor?
|
|
|
Nice to see another Invitational  Will Cella cast again too?
|
Why are you so awesome and generous Dragon?
I love your crazy casting.
|
Be invited Maru JaeDong TY Scarlett and Taeja
|
I've been following you since you streamed as SlayerS Dragon, keep up the good work!
I know there is a language barrier but you need to hype these tournaments a little bit more. There are amazing players and great games in your invitationals, you deserve more views imo.
|
INnoVation the "Champion" must defend his throne.
|
Scarlett, Taeja, Liquid`hero (not to be confuse with the other hero), and Polt. I would be a happy camper. I just want Polt in it so Scarlett and Polt can go at it again.
|
Innovation again.. EZ money

Marineking and Taeja?! Oh yeah!
|
It seems that INnoVation was proven to be too good for Dragon Invitational that's why he was not invited.
It is quite sad if you are so good....
|
|
|
Dragon is truly a SC2 and E Sports hero. FUCKING AMAZING DRAGON!

Best tournament ever + best caster ever ♥
but please invite IM.Mvp :/
|
That is a nice invite-only tournament.. Seeing TaeJa and HyuN fall to GSL-Koreans! You can quote me then!
|
I suppose it wouldn't be fair if Dragon kept inviting the obvious best player in the world (Innovation :D) to the tournament.
But it is nice to see MKP, Ryung, Keen, and others. After watching a few GSL matches with Keen a while back, I've always hoped to see him succeed.
|
These invitationals are awesome! They always have stacked rosters, ready for the most epic games! I hope MKP can start a come back!
|
Lot's of TvZ's. Hmmm yes.
|
|
|
thx Dragonu
|
Dragon, u are very funny with your funny chair dance and bikini dance

You are really funny Dragon!!!
I am excited for the Dragon Invitational Tournament #3!
|
These invitationals are so stacked can't wait! :D
|
No Bogus?
But MMA and MKP? :D
Taeja, Life, First... and a total of 4 GSL champs! And 7 GSL finalists! Wow!
|
|
|
|
|
I'll definitely be watching this anyway, but I wish that the finals were bo7. I think it would make for just a bit more hype.
|
we should have a special fan game, 3 viewers vs dragon and winner of this tournament.
gonna be fun as hell
|
Less than 7 hours and we'll finally get to see Terrans play some games! :D
|
Didn't even realize there was a third Dragon tournament :O So cool. MKP
|
Any idea when do the games start guys?
|
hahaha, this tournament is ridiculously stacked :D :D
thx a lot dragon 
|
|
|
amazing commentary by Dragon so far
|
This deserves more attention and viewers.
|
GUYS watch this! These games are EPIC and the player roster is STACKED! You will definitely see some of the best games ever watching this!
|
A very entertaining first game!
|
|
|
When are the games starting today? I just see a title shot right now.
|
|
|

Keen is really playing well.
Edit: But he's probably dead now.

KeeN fought like a lion. Props to him.

Bogus plz buy Dragon a new mic

Gogo KeeN

Good day Commander... Keen
|
Keen has the sickest TvP
easily one of my favorite players
|
KeeN is so sick. Definitely still Code S level.
|
|
|
|
|
Awesome game!
|
Beautiful game from Keen and Ruin
|
|
|
I am so relieved Keen won that, he definitely deserved it with those massive plays.
|
sleep is going full wol
just needs to complete the unholy trinity now
|
This game is hectic, great entertainment

WCS NA S1 Winner and S2 semifinalist? easy
|
This "Aliee" guy is pretty good. Its nice to see a rookie give Hyun a run for his money. He plays almost exactly like marineking :p
|
if a rookie Terran can win vs Hyun... clearly we have a imbalance situation

Classic MKP. All the greed. All the skill.

I don't see how he holds the attack when 2-2 is done
I guess HyuN can throw away his army
sickest anti timing by mkp attacking 10 sec before 2-2

I don't think MKP remembers that TSL is a synonym for roach.

You are so right. I m pretty sure he loves what he does, but for me its really hard to listen to this guy. I really appreciate that he is making this tournaments, but i would love to hear the voice of a "real" caster. Its just too loud, too much screaming, too much "ohhh my god" etc. Anyway, thx for the tournament dragon! (and maybe you find someone for a german stream...would be nice )
|
|
|
this is some really awful play by Ryung in game #3 vs Leenock.

Agreed. I love watching Dragon play and commentate, but not when he's attempting to cast a game. I want clear language and good analysis.
|
I don't mind him screaming when something interesting happens, but the constant "oooohh... aaahhhh..." is worse than the Dota2 girls on Proleague's channel!
|
Was pughydude not casting for those that don't prefer Dragon's casting?
Also if you don't mind it not being English, Hui's stream has nice casting
|
Dragon is the best streamer, player, and caster. One day I will try to pledge my sisters hand in marriage to him so that we will be brothers. (I don't have a sister it's just me in a wig)
|
|
|
I just tuned in. Holy fuck did he buy his mic for $1 at Toys'R'Us?
|
Ugh, Baneling/Muta v Terran is so frustrating to watch.
|
Whats wrong with Taeja in the last weeks? He won DH with 17-0 or something now he loses vs Pigbaby and First in one of his strong matchups.
Has anybody seen the game vs First?

24-0
but what is "a strong MU" for Taeja, he is good in any MU. Also you cannot keep up the motivation for a long time after winning everything left and right, knowing such a series will not last.
Also his playstyle got analyzed, there were counters, other players learned from these counters and now the players know how to play against him - so he must learn some new tricks.
Nothing new to that, you cannot just win all the time, cause you will eventually get figured out.
you, as a player, have to reinvent yourself over and over again when on the top

When you get good at SC2, everyone knows what you're going to do and how you play. After going undefeated at DH, you bet everyone took some time to study up their Taeja strats

So, for someone who hasn't watched the tournament before now. Is there an updated bracket somewhere?

Man is so nice to see Keen win. Whenever Terran plays Zerg or Protoss I'm always filled with dread, but its so hype when they win!
|
I like how they wanted to improve dropping with the patch and the problem is still the warpin-mechanic, that doesn't require the Protoss to have army at home, because "oh there is a drop, lets warpin some units".
|
well that must be it for keen, did pull scs didnt kill 3rd, less then half the workers...
|
SCV pulls rarely work, why do Terran keep doing it?!

Honestly it could/should have worked here with a better engagement, KeeN was too clumped at the beginning of the fight.

What is the frequency of wins for Terran after an SCV pull? I feel that at the highest levels, its essentially never worked.

No idea for the winrate, but yes it's essentially solved. That being said, it can still work when Terran has a lead like KeeN had here.

It seems like a poor choice since if you lose the battle the games basically over, but I guess the reasoning behind it is that Terran has no late game and has to do something NOW or they will definitely lose later.

You can't 10 pool one of the founding fathers of 10 pool.

it's more a desperation move:
Protoss has its lategame army, you have a small window before storm, so pull SCVs.
It would work without forcefields. It is a couple of seconds where the Toss army is not firing at yours while you are firing on the toss army.

Leenock beat RagnaroK with 10pool bane vs 15pool
|
So did the Hype die with Terran? Im still watching at least 
|
Leenock vs Life finals :O
The greatest ZvZ rivalry ever

Score?
edit, LIFE IS OUR CHAMPION!
