players choose the maps if that's what you mean - they can choose either ladder, TLMC or both

Man these streams are so awesome. I wish they would just start a homestory style event. But I guess that would be too much time and effort considering their jobs at ESL. Maybe just an online tournament.

Well... juanito exceeding all expectations with that response for what he would do with the money.

Well, game one he 10 pooled on a 4 player map then died to a sentry all in. Game 2 he died to a 1 base immortal sentry all in while on 3 bases.

kane said he had no idea it wasn't cross spawns only on the cactus map haha

I don't wanna shit on a player I like too much, but that some BAAAAADDD ZvP. Also that map looks hard as fuck without swarm hosts

At least Kane will be on vacation rather than dealing with Welmu and Has. Good for Bunny though since Kane actually has very good ZvT.

Arium seems like a pretty cool guy.

Yeah he had a slip-up with the bm drama but seems like a good kid. Can't really blame him for that when he's only 14 or 15.

Sounds like me playing ZvP. Oh well, I'm sure he'll do better next time. (10 pool can't really be faulted anyway  )

Kingofdahiphop: yes IdrA is back to SC2 [EVIL TWITCH EMOTE REDACTED]
Thanks for helping me out, even if you added the face that shall not be named.
edit nvm you've forsaken me. We could have had more people fooled if it wasn't just me.
|
hope you guys enjoyed it, I had a blast, if my twitch channel keeps going like the way it has been over the last 2/3 months expect more of this stuff in the future, super fun for me and shoutout to all the boys that came on skype today, will be busy travelling till the 17th of march but expect more after that cheers guys!
|
I'm just catching up and watching today's games. The new maps are SO awesome. I wish they'd just make the 7 finalists the new ladder.

It's not funny when you know his vacation will be over when the WCS finals start.

Honestly these showmatches were very cool, the only dislikeable thing was the Twitch chat on screen (;
I hope you'll do more, maybe even with other community-made maps

I second this. It was great, but Twitch chat going "Day9 is dead Kappa" was annoying

You gotta use the twitch VOD i fear :|
These 2 games didnt really show a lot of the Neo Emerald Plaza map though , well maybe the second one was better , but there is a lot more left to explore there.
