traffic jam messed up your schedule
Might also be the pain medication but the traffic jam was certainly more interesting and dramatic lol
Hoping for Maru and Rogue (yes i am a traitor!) But i think Maru and Stats will make it. I am fine with Stats too btw, but rogue:stats is like 60:40 for me
I'm looking forward to Maru vs Rogue and/or Maru vs Stats. I really wanna know where his TvP is at right now. Hopefully it's still firmly in "stompmode."

Oh man these matches......3 of my favorite players and stats.....ahha. Maru and Leenock to get out PLZ. but realistically probably maru and stats getting out, because stats is a protoss abuser

Can someone PLEASE explain this to me (I put it in caps to show my desperation).
I subscribe to GSL to get vods right after a tourney, which GSL is excellent at posting on twitch.
Why does NSSL and proleauge for that matter never post vods on twitch, even for subscribers? All the vods on twitch are wierd 28 mins which don't capture the entiretly of anything. I'm no genius or nothing, but I image there is a button someone has to press over at NSSL/proleague to upload to twitch after the matches, and no one is pressing it.
EDIT - I understand the vods are posted on youtube several hours (sometimes a day) after the action. I want to pay money in order to not wait like all the other poor scrubs. Tell me how I can exchange my money for these goods and services?

For NSSL/SPL I dunno about twitch, but have you tried Azubu? They usually upload the vods quicker there for free. Better chat and live stream experience too.

Yeah - Azubu is better but not as fast as GSL code S uploading to twitch (they start as the matches go on).
I know I'm being nitpicky (as I wake up right as NSSL/Proleauge end and have a couple hours before work to watch the vods, at which point they're still not up) but the my main point is that I want to pay for this simple service and it's not available. Unless someone tells me GSL code S pays money to twitch to upload videos instantly, I don't know why these organizations (NSSL/Proleauge) are not doing this and leaving money on the table.
EDIT - Last season proleauge uploaded vods to twitch instantly and I paid $5 a month. I see no benifit to doing so now which is why I'm not a subscriber.
Also, does anyone know if there are NSSL games scheduled next week ? I'm on holiday, so I'll finally be able to watch some games live, but GSL won't have any games... Pls tell me NSSL won't be on break too !

The one time I actually have the possibility to watch some good SC2 live, every big competition is on break. Fuck my life. No GSL, no NSSL, and I'm not even sure if there is PL going on either (do they have a week break between round1 playoffs and start of round2 ?).
I'm so pissed right now, what an unfortunate coincidence. DAMMIT.

maru is on fire.. again. dont care much about the second match tbh. marus tvz is very strong but if leenock has been practicing some cheesy strats or banging out some sick zvt macro and beats him, id be happy as shit. i still consider him one of the greatest zergs ever along with the old boys nestea and drg.
Maru Leenock? Why they cannot play in archon mode against some player I don't like This gonna be awesome(or huge fail, as it usually is with these big names :D)
This style is weird. Leenock is definitely trying to play against mech but is going baneling lindmines. Maru's definitely playing mech but he's also going bio?

I dunno, feel like Maru would've had that game easy if not for the weird mech->bio style. Like just take that 4th and almost a-move Leenock with his 2-2 max out mech.
Still a nice fun game. I wanna see 2 base muta vs standard play now!

Wow, I never expected Maru to be this creative as a player. He's pulling out random builds and transitions left and right and center. Very refreshing to see a Terran be able to do that now that mech is so viable.
11.30pm. Been awake 3 hours after a normal amount of sleep. Whatever just going to go to bed again, see you tomorrow. Not like I am going to get work done today this sad anyway.

He plays turtle mech into raven I take it?
yes he had some insanely long wcs qualifier matches. dont know the specific times for the one streamed though. I believe there was a match where ZombieGrub started making pancakes and stuff or something like that
I love how Korean players are trying to do some English interview. Who cares they are not on Solar/Polt level, this is so awesome when the NASL subtitles or NASL sound guy doesn't mess up >< :D :D

Yes, he plays that... "style". And yeah, I think he has become the new reference for super long boring ass games. If I'm not mistaken, he has the record of the longest game after his "performance" in the WCS qualifier. And he actually managed to lose it in the end. I was there, 'saw the whole thing :'(

it's better but I like the casting at both tournaments.
the free quality is kind of terrible at GSL so that is irritating.

Sure, it depends on your tolerance for shitty quality. I currently play Migth&Magic 6 in my free time, so GSL doesn't rerally shock me either, but I can see it being annoying for people, who care more about graphics.

Not really; GSL had about 3 times as many viewers yesterday, so I'd say from a neutral perspective, there is more hype there.

Give it time it will catch up to GSL if it keeps producing superior product
I wouldn't neccessarily call it superior product either, for example casting is widely considered better at GSL
it's better but I like the casting at both tournaments.
the free quality is kind of terrible at GSL so that is irritating.
Sure, it depends on your tolerance for shitty quality. I currently play Migth&Magic 6 in my free time, so GSL doesn't rerally shock me either, but I can see it being annoying for people, who care more about graphics.
In a world where there is Heroes 3 also i have no idea why one would play heroes 6.

Might & Magic isn't Heroes, right?
Only might and magic i know is heroes of might and magic. If he did not mean heroes of might and magic i have to ask him why is he playing any other game series???

Overmind is redirecting all zerg energy to Life, so that he can win double championships. Also with Rogue gone, Life, Maru and Dream are the only ones, who are left in both tourneys.

well just predict any zerg not named life to get destroyed and you will do pretty good.

I watched today hoping to try and pick up some new zerg tips. All I managed to get was "don't pick zerg"
just a bunch of disappointing games
Its true that this way was disappointing for zerg fans. But tbh, both Leenock and Rogue didnt play good. This is not really Zergs fault but more like the players

To think that people who play Zerg are any different than the people who play any other race is pretty silly (which I suspect you know, don't worry)

You do know that it was "Stuchiu awards" not "according to everyone award". We all know that whenever terran is doing badly you are the first to raise the pitchforks.

NSSL ro8: 3P, 3Z, 2T Code S ro16: 5P, 5Z, 6T
How many Zergs should have been in NSSL ro8 and Code S ro16 for Zerg to be considered doing well? Do you want Leenock to be able to regularly go 2-3 vs Maru, arguably the best Terran in the world? Help me understand.

It was quite surprising we got that many Zergs honestly, if you looked at the ro32 and the qualifiers Zergs got pretty rekt, I really do think ro8/ro16 were just flukes, such as Life somehow cheesing protoss 4x in a row, I'm pretty certain we're gonna end up with 1 or Zero zergs on GSL/SSL by the ro4, Life has been carrying Zerg hard.
Aligulac is a lot more relevant these days with everyone playing in Korea, there's a 200pt difference from Life to 2nd zerg which plays outside Korea.
But yea lets see what happens, if any other zerg does anything besides Life.

I was not saying that there should be more zergs in NSSL or GSL in my post. When you look at HOTS as a whole you can see that Z has not been winning much. Maru winning i no surprise but naturally i would have liked Leenock to advance.

Hey, there were more than 15k words. Creating the Heartbroken Hydralisk Fan Club would be an excellent idea
Aligulac is a lot more relevant these days with everyone playing in Korea, there's a 200pt difference from Life to 2nd zerg which plays outside Korea.
A rating where ForGG is ahead of Bogus and Hydra/GuMiho are top10 world players could still do with some improvement in terms of relevance
Never mind the fact that soO and Soulkey, two world-class Zergs, aren't racking up any points because one's taking a vacation from PL and the other's not on a PL team, period.

You only get "points" on aligulac if you actually win, if you play and lose, you lose points, Soulkey and soo didn't even make through qualifiers right? You're assuming they'd win.
ForGG is overrated though for playing out of Korea, so is Hydra.

MMA was considered overrated in the past for playing out of Korea, look where he is now... Saying that doesn't make sense, because we have no idea how ForGG and Hydra would fare in KR. (well for Hydra he was in Korea very recently so we can kinda guess)

You only get "points" on aligulac if you actually win, if you play and lose, you lose points, Soulkey and soo didn't even make through qualifiers right? You're assuming they'd win.
ForGG is overrated though for playing out of Korea, so is Hydra.
soO was still only rank 14 after his DH Silver, and he was like top20 to top30 in summer before that. People who dwell only/mostly in Korea have long been (massively) underrated in Aligulac; just look at the time it took for Maru to get into the top10, compared with ForGG who sits there for years for no valid reason whatsoever
Aligulac is a lot more relevant these days with everyone playing in Korea, there's a 200pt difference from Life to 2nd zerg which plays outside Korea.

Soulkey just beat Has, Keen, Ryung, Jjakji, San x2, Leenock, and Rain, and was 4-3 vs HerO in maps, on his way to facing Maru at IEM Taipei semis and losing 1-3. (Also lost to Life and TRUE) In MAL: The Beginning, he's 4-3 vs DRG, 4-3 vs Oz, and 2-0 vs Polt. In Code S he beat San and he's 4-3 vs MarineKing. At BaseTrade, he beat Revival, DRG, Gumiho, Rain, and lost to Super.
This is all within the last month. I didn't leave out a single loss. Out of 22 vs, he lost 4, and two of them were mirrors. That's DAMN impressive. And soO's the best player of 2014, I have no doubt he'll bounce back.

Indeed. Even more glorious shall be Bogus' triumph for the title of best Terran
Taeja gonna win the 1st 10k$ tournament to come (DH France?) and everyone will praise him as the best player in the world.

Well winning Katowice would be something else than winning a DH
still double ro32 elim to begin 2015. it'll just prove further that he's good at playing weekend tournament and absolutely useless in a preparation based format.

So you consider that results in a preparation format are worth more than in a weekend format, assuming the opponents are of the same caliber? By doing that you define individual skill in SC2 as something in which preparation for the opponent plays a big role, while it could be argued that preparation is more team-dependant/practice partners-dependant than player-dependant.

I really like and respect the strategic part coming into the fact you're preparing for someone and several maps (or just 1 in the case of PL but PL is awesome precisely for the sick snipes strat). A week end tournament is just a series of ladder games, which is quite poor on the planning side. In game your just doing tactics so if you don't prepare for your opponent the strategy side of sc2 is really really poor... (picking a good build order for the map and that's all, exactly what you're doing on ladder)
Maru really shines in prep based format and he's supposed to use the ladder a lot to prepare so i don't see the problem. Or just don't be a dick and you'll get some decent practice partner (not implying at all TaeJa is a dick)

I don't necessarily favor WE tournaments (if you ask me what makes a good player is to be good all-around, and thus to be a beast in both format, see soO, Maru, Life, Zest, etc), but I often see people talking as if it was universally admitted that preparation tournaments > WE tournaments.

I think this is actually the most important point here, there simply are no weekend tournaments where the skill lvl is as high as in korean tournaments. You might find some where the winner had to play vs 2-3 code S lvl players, but if you actually wanna win Code S that's not enough at all.
Well Maru and Stats, just how i predicted it (yeah wasn't too hard), are the games worth it to watch?

Ofc, still easier to dislike someone who has annoying fans. And steal meaningless awards from Bogus.
None of these are upsets at all. Rogue is good and all, but now that life is in KT, it's easy to see that stats won because he had a super good practice partner in life. I don't think stats would have beaten Rogue if life hadn't have joined KT.

Well he won a GSL while someone managed to fail to reach... cough... the great WCS NA Final... if Maru had a good tournament win we wouldn't have this stupid debate
all I see is 1-2 terrans peaking vs 1-2 protosses holding steady form and 1 zerg peaking while everyone else is doing about as well as people expect with an even distribution in nssl/gsl. We have notable slump or absence from player of all races (flash, soO, solar, zest) and that has very little to do with race balance.

Whenever Jaedong and Flash met, it resulted in brilliant games being a showcase of top-level macro TvZ. Taeja vs Life is exactly like that. The all-around excellent macro Terran, one of the few not afraid to go into lategame in any matchup vs the hyper aggressive Zerg, that aside of the trademark ability to finish people in early-to-mid game with pure mechanics also has shown top-notch macro play.
Life vs Maru has given us amazing games like speed roach bust on Alterzim, Life dying to banshees on Deadwing, banelings roflstomps, proxy reapers and Maru losing "$10k because he didn't want to spend 100 minerals on a supply depot"
And then there's the entire aspect of Taeja and Life being the talents, #1 and #2 at advancing in and winning foreign tournaments. Much like Flash and Jaedong were respectively #1 and #2 in Korea.
that's just my opinion though, I'm a complete fanboy of Taeja vs Life
