most of it is old but they have met in 2014
that head to head

in fact, Leenock is one of HuK's worst matchups

who is really younger July but for some reason Artosis would never roll with that

I know, I was tempted by July, but opted for the Artosis reference. It made a bit more sense at the time to say Nestea considering his dominance, but in my heart Leenock will always be July.

I enjoy playing chess, but watching it is rather boring. Kinda like baseball, unless you're watching it inebriated. Hmm, I wonder if watching chess drunk makes it more enjoyable.


Yeah, I mean in terms of pure excitement it's no competition for Starcraft. Since the games last for several hours, it's definitely challenging to keep it interesting. But having three games going at once, it means if there's a lull in one or even two of the games the casting can focus on whichever game has the crazy stuff going on at any one time. And this tournament does have stuff like interviews and other content that it plays when there's little going on, say at the opening stages where everyone is just rattling out their pregame preparation.

I suppose I'll be giving priority to IEM Toronto, checking on the chess every now and then. A great time to be a strategy game fan, real-time or otherwise!

Okay I just slept for 2 more hours, I feel like shit right now but I should be able to do this. Ready for Jaedong!!!

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I always preferred the idea that SKT tried to clone JulyZerg after July beat Best in that OSL Finals and ended up with Leenock. Who was broken out of the cloning facility by Choya.

For me I can't get excited about watching a turn-based game, even if it's something I sort of understand like poker. And yeah there's always so much out there to watch these days, for fans of any game really.

Maybe that's why Nestea is not very good these days, he's spending all his time building that time machine!

The Sinquefield Cup being held in St. Louis, by average rating of the participants the strongest chess tournament ever. Live broadcast with boards and video stream is: http://www.uschesschamps.com/live. Not sure how well this kind of thing appeals to someone who isn't into chess, though.

edit: this starts to seem really off-topic lol
