Background:
Rocket Beans TV is a german production company, which operated many years for MTV Germany. They got famous for their show “GameOne” which lasted for 307 episodes before it was discontinued in the beginning of 2015. Thereupon the Rocket Beans decided to host a 24/7 livestream on Twitch, to keep providing content for the german gaming cosmos.
During one of their shows, called “Straight to Gold”, they have an average of about 25.000 viewers, which shoots them up to the first place in the category Starcraft II on Twitch, every wednesday. The concept of this show is simple: The two hosts from Rocket Beans TV, Budi and Simon, get coached by the former semi-progamer and founder of Bonjwa Niklas “Honor” Behrens. Shortly after the first episodes of “Straight to Gold” got broadcasted, they cought the attention of many people even outside of germany.
After this successful first cooperation between Rocket Beans and Bonjwa, both parties want to increase the popularity of eSports not only in germany, but also international. The Archon Cup Series is the first attempt to do so. With the experience and feedback gained out of the first Cup, Rocket Beans and Bonjwa want to create more and even bigger events.
Excellent news . I'm very happy that rocketbeans is doing even more sc2, them getting involved is so good for the german scene! I think when Nerchio and Bly get a chance to play they will do well.
Clan Wars can't find games, players pulling out of LOTUS en masse, and players won't show up for this Archon tournaments.... I wish players wouldn't consistently screw over tournament organizers so much

Yeah but as rifkin pointed out, RBTV can easily enforce the rules and continue. They don't really rely on the players to get viewers and they had replacements instantly.
Dimaga said before in the pre-game interview that White-Ra had an emergency, but no idea about Stephano.

Maybe the tournament organizers should stop inviting people who does this. If there are no consequences to doing this players will sign up for stuff and withdraw at their own leisure.
First game was Lambo's build, he refined that in LOTUS. Second build was prepared by TargA/Stephano. The player who knew the build did macro, other micro.

cyclone really looks like a bad unit though. Adds nothing to mech, hardly much additional micro at all.
Yes, I really really hope for a redesign. The HERC was so much better of a unit than the Cyclone, but knowing Blizzard, they probably think the Cyclone is amazing design like their precious forcefield
You can vote for next round's team with commands !TEAM 1 for QXC &BeastyQT !TEAM 2 for HeroMarine &Lamboking !TEAM 3 for Nerchio & Bly ! Just type it in chat:
btw had to switch adblock to ON because the "trouble viewing ads" didn't disappear anymore, although I whitelisted teamliquid.net and all its streams. When I can't watch the streams anymore even though whitelisting, unfortunately I have to un-whitelist. Seems to be working after that
Surely the Liberator's being to shoot into other Liberator's range is a bug, right?
I mean, it's a neat idea, but if you spam like 10 of them like the Terrans are doing here, then you just have the whole screen of completely locked down terrain.

Afaik if the circle is within 15 range, any liberator can shoot into it.

Yes, which is very good for the viability of this unit (15 is huge, but it's not infinite as SGTK could have thought).
