So freakin pumped to be part of this tournament. Time to prepare for an upset 
|
I thought the title was shameless advertising at first. Then I remembered what Jord sells...

I looked up Jord. 
|
would be surprised if moosegills didn't top his group
|
Kanes got NA easy, NaNiwa for EU ofc.
|
those watches are a beauty
|
Dang, dem's some pretty watches. A little outside of my price range though, but pretty none the less
|
That's a pretty cool first place prize, haha!
|
We`ll see if Naniwa can bothered to play...

Thank you for jinxing it. NaNiwa has decided to not play, so instead Bly will replace him in the group
|
Sweet, I'd rather watch Bly play anyway
|
Are wood watches any good? Has anyone got/seen one.
|
My prediction is that Welmu takes this. Or Kane.
|
wooden watches for wooden foreigners

Beautiful game by snute, wp!

Welmu 1-7 in BoX series vs Snute now D:
|
|
|
Alright, well, that was a really disappointing series to watch.
Glad Bly won, and all, but in an 8-man invitational where one guy just decides to cheese out his series. Eh..
|
checking out the watches. those 746s and fieldcrests look slick.

wow Snute won that BL game? nice
|
Immortal/Sentry continues as always to be completely stupid.
|
Update for the TL Thread:
We'll start the NA group 15 minutes early and be back soon :-)
|
games are pretty good . :D
|
Why is iaguz in the North America group? Is he in the US now or?
|
United States97276 Posts
I'm going to be bold and predict that iaguz and kane advance from this group

SEA = NA for all intents and purposes

Desrow played better than I was expecting in g1
|

Wow, DesRow took a map off iaguz. Not bad.
|
United States97276 Posts
do you think ZombieGrub and Rifkin will search for this?
|

I'm surprised everyone takes the center fourth on echo, the vertical one looks better to me.
|
Oh boy, let's hope Kane gets it together. That move command hurt so much
edit: Nope, move command in game 2 :/
|
Why is a fancy watchmaker advertising to a bunch of poor teenagers and 20-somethings? That having been said, they're a lot less expensive than I was expecting.
|

Kane should have gone for the ByuL build
|
Why did Desrow engage the Queens with his zealots? I think that was a poor decision (compared to engaging the drones surrounding his stalkers). 
|
Snute vs Kane and Iaguz vs Welmu, should be decent. Might not be around tomorrow to watch them though
|
Kane has to forfeit his spot, which left us in a tricky spot considering he played his whole group through. I can't disclose why but he has a very legitimate reason, and it's quite unfortunate. Here is our solution:
desRow would have not been knocked out of the tournament from the Loser's match if Kane had forfeited earlier, and would have had the chance to fight Moosegills in the finals. Tomorrow's cast will begin with a Bo3 between the two to determine who fights against Snute -> iaguz and Welmu will play after.
Edit:
TLDR Day 2 schedule:
Bo3 desrow vs moosegills
-> Bo5 Snute vs ____
-->Bo5 Iaguz vs Welmu
---->Bo7 Grand Finals
|
Seems like a good way to handle things!

Just as a note on the demographics of SC2 viewers - I am neither poor (although not exactly rich either) nor a 20-something. So there are individuals in the market demographic that might be interested in a watch... say that slick 746 black.
Also, there are a fair number of people watching that probably are still 20-somethings, but not poor.
In any case, who cares? They're sponsoring eSports, and that's good.

Yo, Imma let you finish but the Fieldcrest is a smooth clean design. I just want it to have the date display like the Ely does and that's perfect.

Well the series are quick at least.

Man, ROOT seems to have problems even showing up to tournaments lately. This is disappointing, especially as a fan. =/
Wasn't Iaguz playing in Legacy of the Ultras this morning? Did he just forget he made the semi-finals of this tournament?
|
Disappointing that Kane dropped out, buuuuuuuuuuut if I were to win that fancy watch giveaway it'd make me feel a lot better 
|
Jesus Christ got worried there for Welmu for a second.
GG

Welmu so gosu. Thought he had lost it since I haven't seen him in a while. Obviously, he hasn't!

Of course it was. Welmu is Finnish.

Not this map as final map.... Noooooooooooo

Snute really wanted that watch haha.
|
And there I joined 2 games ago and hoped for normal game... I was so naive...
|
Welmu so close, yet so far.
Is the Finnish way.
*tears*
|
No....Welmu was supposed to win this
