MAL presents: The Beginning is an online tournament organized by MAL, aka James the Translator from WCS 2013 S3 Finals, 2014’s S2 and S3, all circuits of Red Bull Battle Grounds, and IEM Toronto, and sponsored by DSP-Design and 2LD. With the end of Starcraft 2014 season, MAL, interested in pursuing in content-creating opportunities, has recently gone active online with his first bi-weekly event called, MAxeLtoss. This time, with the help of ROOT.Hydra and DSP-Design, MAL presents a new twist to online tournament scene. Online tournament sometimes lacks the live atmosphere. It also has difficulty reaching out to the players to hear their thoughts. The tournament will feature all players’ webcams and microphones to see reactions in the midst of a battle and to hear more from the players during the map vetoes and pre/post game interviews. Have you ever wondered if a player is close with his/her opponent? Were you ever curious why map vetoes happened in the fashion that it did? Have you cursed or screamed out of joy in middle of a game and wondered if the players did too? This is the tournament that will educate you on all your wonders, or at least attempt to.

Hoping to co-cast this with Mal He hasn't gotten the okay from the sponsor yet though
Well, this is interesting.
Wow, this sounds awesome! I always love seeing a little bit of life on the pros, and this seems like a really cool and fun way to do it!
actually group A is tmrw 9pm PST. so NA u win. and also other days its on weekends and at 7am PST. so aint too bad i think? and thank you all so much for the hypes!
Sick, awesome job by Mal!
This is the fucking best! But you should probably have some people help you out with the production, if you haven't hosted your own event before. I really want you to succeed, but don't be afraid to ask around for help. Oh weird, the Basetrade casters just had this exact conversation after I typed this...
This sounds amazing! I'd love to tune in. Hearing from the players is one of the best parts of a tournament I think, which I why I enjoy HSC so much.

They said they were happy to hear about it and then "Wait, is Mal doing this all by himself? He's a good caster, and I was glad to have him, but does he know how much work goes on behind the scenes to organize one's own tournament?" and then some other stuff that I don't remember very well. Hopefully it will show up on the VOD and you can hear for yourself. You can probably just ask them yourself though. I'll bet they'd tell you.

Sorry. The best part of this tournament is the MVP guy brushing his teeth IMO
I don't entirely understand why Hero put his entire army on hold position there. Was he trying to avoid letting his Zealots charge pointlessly against his own FFs and get picked off by the bioball?

i think it was actually just part of his late game mech to sky transition. 3 bcs at a time
Polt just saved esports by vetoing Overgrowth
Soulkey looks so tiny in that chair
The webcam thing is really cool. Edit, Soulkey is playing like it's the new ladder maps. ^^^ Edit 2: Damn lost all his Mutas and lags out.......
that recovery screwed Polt over
Polt got nothing on Soulkey

I feel like he doesn't practice the counterplay for certain Protoss counterplay to SH play. Like, if they do to 100% standard responses to SHs, he does just fine, but if they do anything a little unconventional against it, he looks a little lost.
is this 2nd day in a row I see someone harassing with a zealot in PvZ? BW flashbacks *breathing heavily*

the 9 pool proxy hatch holy shit
Soulkey is so fun to watch
Soulkey has become so much more aggressive since his Woongjin days.
Really nice FFs from OZ, protecting all the hydra from the zealots and zoning the stalkers out so the hydras could nuke the zealots and sentries with impunity.

Good, haha it's almost unbearable atm. Still jjakji playing makes it worth it!
what did Soulkey do? I read "9 pool proxy hatch", but that, um, sounds weird
Wow Polt really has a huge amount of work ahead of him if he still wants to compete with the best
Damn, seems mah boy Polt's form isn't exactly olympic
Well... Polt's vs P is still elite. Maybe ;;

I didn't see the game, but you can proxy hatch in Protoss' main entrace after 9 pool to prevent him from walling off. eg. Targa vs MC on Nimbus
I feel like Polt looks sloppy, rather than just straight-up bad. I don't think he's lost his mojo, it just looks more like a temporarily deficient practice regime.

I saw that done once (by TargA as well) but I thought it was more like a "fuck you" move after some BM or whatever, but I guess it's legit eh

DRG got the nexus, he should win this (also, anyone know first 4 maps and who won on each?)
I only tuned in during game 4. HerO won on Vaani. Lategame Protoss vs Ultra/infestor etc.
well I missed DRG vs HerO but now I can be watching thanks to McDonald wi-fi.

He lost to that guy :p
GJ Mal for this awesome event. Also the format is kind of new and I like it
Glad to see DRG doing so well and making it to the finals. I know what we think of DRG zvp vs someone like parting but.. he can do this
Lol is parting playing from a storeroom with those racks around.

iamMal are you going to upload vods on youtube?
Holy shit DRG! He wins the longer series twice!
I like this tournament already, unfortunately I missed all the other days. It's always cool to get a glimpse of the Korean players when they're more relaxed and talking more casually.
Go Hyvaa, Hyun, Maru, DRG, NaNiwa, MaNa, Genius, Dimaga, Scarlett, Soulkey, First! Elfi is God.
wut?! Oz is about to beat Soulkey :o nice to see so many old guys doing well lately.

PartinG wanted to win this to punish the "Korea runners", so I hope he gets destroyed by DRG
I hope DRG wins too, but it really looks like PartinG is taking this 3-0 :/

It's Kespa jail
I respect and admire it when players use different colours than red or blue.

wow 3gate stargate Naniwa barely came back and already protoss players worldwide use his builds
DRG is taking this one :D
I love how DRG is positioning his army
DRG about to go up 2-1 o.o?!! edit: nvm PartinG in better position now. DRG maybe can turn it around if he lives to get his infestors.
Infestors coming through for once :D DRG is so lucky PartinG recalled when the Infestors were just popping.
ultras still garbage though

So Kespa jail is just a closet?

it's actually a green screen and he's sitting in a cardboard box taped over on the outside so he can't leave
yo if I'm DRG and I scout gateway first I just collapse the rocks and drone up to 60 behind them with no units
I don't know why Mal thought Parting was in a bad position.. he defended it losing only one probe. :/ That closet though, dayum.
mal this is a great thing, keep it up!
hhaahaha ToD explaining Mal what's the OL timing
I hope DRG is doing the Rogue response
rip DRG
NOOOOOOO the Rogue response is denied ><

Yup! Bring on the next one! D:
I liked the more casual feel and banter between the Korean guys, even if there is some money on the line. Nice tournament.

I think Mal did a good job, would have been nice to see Mal direct DRG and Parting more into the "design" discussion rather than balance discussion. Parting mentioned a bit that the swarmhost currently is not very exciting for viewers, and DRG stated that 200 gas swarmhosts is just plain stupid. Would have been nice to hear their thoughts about changing the swarm host design, THEN adjust cost, damage, supply, buildtime, tech etc. I think both of them would agree that redesigning the swarm host and then balancing it would be a great choice.
Thanks Mal for hosting the tournament! I really enjoyed the interviews and hearing the players banter and thoughts... Keep it up!
