The entire tournament will be broadcasted on my channel Here
Second stream for day #1 will be by Over and will be at Here
Notes and information
First bracket stage (RO16) will have two streams with games being played at the same time, so 4 games each. This is so the players don't have to wait around and less clash with RedBull this weekend.
Cure pulled out to focus on GSL RO16 and YongHwa will replace him

That MK game vs Solar game 2 was so good, I love that build!
|
I just finish pulling a half-nighter and I see this. I wish I could stay up but I don't have enough #passion. Cheer for the Samsung guys and Inno for me!
Edit: Forgot to thank Pughy for setting this up! Always grateful for a chance to see Dear, and all these players play!
|
United Kingdom31935 Posts
Go Dear! Cant wait for INno
|
Well, at least MarineKing took a game of Solar.
I hope Stork wins this tournament!
|
Where is the money coming from? Is it a personal sponsored tournament? Or the marketing value makes it worth it? Just let me thank you anyway 
|
Wow your ability to get sick players is a mystery to me. Nice lineup!
|
United Kingdom31935 Posts
Is the stream gone or is it just me?
|
Definitely tuning in for this. So cool to to see you get all these players to play.

like most of us, emotion knows its as well so its natural to do some early agression. go Inno!

It was announced few days ago (as you can see with the first posts). Somehow the date of OP was changed when it was set as a community news

I'm actually kind of looking forward to this event. Not a bad line up at all.
Don't look down on crowd-funding though.

Looking forward to INno today :D
|
The time zone is just 3 hours too late for me. Dear to win it all!~
|
Super hyped for this, gogo Inno
|
Oh, stumbled on this when looking at the calendar. Nice event, it deserves more exposure!
|
Looking forward to today's matches, gogo Innovation.

Not yet, internet issues yesterday for the first series so I got the replays today and will re record them for YT purposes.
|
Sick line-up, on now. Gogogo.
|
I feel pretty good when I see a player like Innovation having 2 thors stuck behind his production. That's something that makes me feel so dumb sometimes...

I once spent almost a whole game with a tank unable to get out of my factory as my buildings were all too close together, I could not understand why my tank production was so slow!

Inno just got completely blindsided by those broods, with nary a viking in sight. I always thought broods were underutilized against terran in hots. Very situational and map dependent, but they have their uses.

TSL united, Nydus excited!
|
Wow. That was quite a throw from Inno.
|
|
|
INnoVation.
|
|
|
Showing the banes to make inno commit to even more bunkers was quite smart. Inno should have seen this coming though, nydus is really the only hope there.

He's not looking for a team, I PM Pughy on Skype about this.

Triple post ( zzzzzzzz ) sorry. :x

oh god stork no need to be in the middle of the map.

stork cant break, stork cant get a third. Stork is done

Well I guess if Dear just goes up there himself, hahahahahahhah
|
|
|
What the hell Dear?
That was really stupid.
|
|
|
That was embarrassingly poor by Dear. Such a stupid engagement to take and he even left two Archons behind. Maybe he's not back in form after all.
|
Inno wtf happened

Can someone explain to me why Dear attacks when he is ahead in economy but behind in composition and army supply? Surely he should be defending then and using his economic advantage to tech up faster?

This sounds like a job for Olli.

overestimating the size of his army. thought he could finish it right there, was wrong. misjudgement.
no other explanation possible imo
|
Wow I just found out about this! Pughy you rockkkkk!
|
Pretty nice by RagnaroK to get out a group that tough. How he hasn't been picked up yet is beyond me, I'd love to see him on Axiom actually.
|
Ragnarok is just better than Stork at macro games. Getting the fifth cancelled 45 times was sloppy, but Stork was outmatched.
|

Dear lucky to win that, throughout the whole engagement he didn't have two of his collosus firing. This is quite distressing to watch because I am a big fan of Dear and he seems to be having a bad day.
Also a fan of INnoVation, was hoping both would make it out of the group but I'm sure INnoVation is more preoccupied with preparations for his GSL Ro16 group.
|
yeah dealt beautifully with this widow mine drop
|
Damn, Innovation is playing like shit. What a shame
|
scout that storm ffs!!! D:
|
|
|
Yes Dear! One more map now!!!
|
Yes Dear!
What a turnaround. Not the most convincing performance but he's through. 
|
Wow. In my opinion, the first fight went close to perfect for Stork or at least very bad for Dear. His forces from the third were engaging the enemy while his forces in the natural were just sitting there, his archons were caught behind the immortals and stalkers, yet he still managed to win it by such a large margin... :o

VODs are not updated on liquipedia and then I have to listen on mute because the casting is awful. At least the player are making extra money.

Billowy looks kind of like a punching bag in this group. I'm happy to see Solar do well, I've been hyping him since before it was cool.
|
how did Solar even win that fight?

I'm really liking this player line up. Just getting back into SC2, didn't realize how much i missed watching all the minor tournaments.
|
What, Dear did beat Solar 3-2 and Ragnorok 3-0? Nice to see him have some success here!
