Get them USA chants ready boys it might finally happen this time

A tournament so weak that even pUCK Harstem and PtitDrogo can compete in!
I really don't think those players are on par with Snute or Nerchio

Losira outplayed the shit out of him and was playing with his food. Drogo messed some stuff up but it wouldn't have mattered

just realized the winner of this gets the same as runner up in GSL/SSL

I mean puCK already 2-1'd Snute, so your point is very invalid.

Nice meme, great banter, i fucked my sleep even more than i had to, do i have enough passion to bother staying up even longer? Someone shitpost for me if protoss does something gay, i think im passing out before the games

If you follow the Chinese scene, yes, it is somehow more attractive than the foreigner vs foreigner games for the local audience.
Chinese scene is somehow filled with trolls and self-entertaining memes that the foreign viewer mignt find it hard to understand.

Ugh, do we actually have to sit through all these 'special events' to watch Snute playing?
|

I really really hope future Chinese events care a little bit more about foreign audiences, but on the other hand we have to watch your tournaments past midnight with no game sound every time so I think we are even.

That was absolutely abysmal from Jim. Incorrect pylon placement, overcharge anyways, trying to kill the liberator with THREE stalkers???

It's trying to snipe the liberator with three stalkers that really gets me. All the other mistakes are things that do happen at the very highest level (though very rarely and never all in the same game ofc). But the stalker thing is just incomprehensibly bad.

Really? I thought the NSL was an individual tournament. So I don't understand how this team event fits.

GPL main event serves as our domestic individual competition, NSL is the team counterpart.

iA played a very good game from a technical perspective, but it didn't really feel like he pulled ByuN out of his comfort zone at any point in time. ByuN is one of those players where when he can play his own style he's almost impossible to beat.

LP will tell you all:
 NEO Star League 2013
Starcraft League 2015
The new NSL is from NSTL and SL.
old NSL becomes GPL.

Person in the crowd trolling F91 with the Tossgirl portrait.
edit:
MacSed and XiGua played much better tactically than F91 and YHY. The only reason it's so close is that their control especially against banelings has been poor.

They decided to replace Snute and Drogo with Chinese players. They both looked at the computer of the opponent, which is against the rules, so they were disqualified ;-)

I can't stand the best of X even matches format. It just feels so silly, I don't get why its done so much

Not impressed at all by the level of play in these games. Feels like Chinese players in 2013 were much better than this relative to the rest of the field.

Yeah because ByuN is on X-Team a Chinese team.
It was fairly typical ByuN vs Zerg with a ton of drops from ByuN. iA defended really well holding on trying to rush to Ultras, but ByuN finally succeeded in killing 18 drones at the natural and got an economic lead, and later crucially sniped the Ultralisk Cavern right before Chitanous Plating finished.
It looked fairly even during most of the game, though it didn't really feel like iA threatened ByuN at any particular point.

Adepts into DT. You dirty dirty protoss 
|
Snute's composition has seemed a step ahead this entire game.
|
I've seen a rather large correlation between protoss not going stargate and protoss not winning games. At least in my experience
|
Snutee!! Looks good so far. I have a feeling there will be some tricky stuff in the next game.

I got no one to cheer for here... maybe PuCK because 'MURICA

Charge zealots are damn strong. Miracle comeback time Snute!

That attack didn't look too good from Snute. Felt like an anti-timing. Trying to hold Drogo attacking and transitioning into lurkers would probably have been better.
|
nah this is over, roach/hydra vs immortal/archon/chargelot

I never understand going Baneling for that. Why not just tech Lurker and win because Toss has no siege tech ready?

Banelings are pretty good against earlier zealot timings. Since lurker tech takes so long you can sometimes get caught transitioning. In this particular game lurkers would have been better yeah.

Toodming on the Chinese stream said there is a potential adept/oracle timing if there is no baneling.

is it me or did the banes do nothing lings couldn't have done?

SNUTEE!! Finals time! Love this more aggressive Snute!

that was pretty solid from Snute

It definitely depends on how the zealots charge. If they all charge onto the same baneling cluster then banes are 100x more effective

Snute hit that narrow timing window very nicely. Drogo's opening put him too far behind.

GPL reaches a Chinese audience, the English stream is less important than be on-site/Chinese stream.

Maybe Carrier just don't settle in Ulrena
Tempest is better according to Rotti's build

80 probes is this a thing?
|
I guess that's what you get for laughing at him Harstem! >.<
|
sniped
that was the wrong thread
|
Serious question - why aren't protoss players going into tempests much faster? It's not like the enemy can attack anyway
|
pls blizzard
fix this disruptor pingpong in PvP.

Harstem is going to be in a WCS tournament final
the darkest timeline

OMG disruptor hit blunder.

At least Harstem isn't from NA. That would be the true darkest timeline.

That is worth of sc2hl! :D
Puck's confidence got plummeted like that

Harstem vs Snute grand finals
One of them isn't going to lose
The universe will implode

RIP puCK

10min of game
unit lost 2 probe and 1 observer.

Year of Harstem, guys....
|
Harstem's joker will easily beat leto's joker.
|
Open Bracket Finals, except this time it's the Europeans flying in to take the open bracket by storm instead of Koreans.
|
This production quality. I actually love it, no matter how cheesy it all is.

YES Harstem! Great disruptor flank in that last game. Very nice hes in a finals. Dutchies been waiting since grubby vs sting

Tempests suck against ground units. You need like 7 tempests to one-shot a disruptor.

You always have to divide by 3-5 with Chinese streams though to get the true viewership.

Even divided by 5, it is more than most of the premier tournaments already.

for some personal streamers, yes, the viewer number inflation can be over 10.
But for this stream, there are over 100k suscribers, so I really don't think the numbers inflated by that much.

Overall I was happy with my results, wished my finals games were not decided by one disruptor =( I love disruptors, but they did not like me today.

It's not that I particularly care, I've just noticed in recent events that there's barely any focus on the teams players are on and there have been several people at both DH Leipzig and Katowice who chose to not wear team jerseys, just wondering if there's any known reason for this.

So Snute lost first game, and has gone all in 3 times in a row after that.

he's far behind because he made so many lings, game would be playable if he had committed to only like 6-8 imo
but i guess the highest percentage play for snute was to hope it was nexus first and commit. if he had known it was gateway with a scout he could have just made 0 lings, but obviously he couldn't know that

this push would have a better chance of working if Snute hadn't shown it in every previous game

Korean training always has a delayed effect

The prophecy has been fulfilled.

2 queens just chilling in the middle of the map. One of the worst Snute series, I hope he has no mental block in finasl from now on.

I really hope Snute tries out more hydra/lurker play in ZvP in the future too. Not a fan of his style in ZvP so far.

i'm winning more zvp on ladder as i start defaulting to lurkers, but... eh... i don't like playing lurkers all the time, it reminds me of swarm host era where every zvp was "couldn't deny the third? WELL, TIME FOR MASS SWARM HOST!" except now it's lurker siege
i'm still living the muta ling dream in my heart

Congratz to Harstem. Feel very sorry for Snute. He had a great run this tournament.
I wonder how the world would look if Harstem actually lost that final game against Has.

Congrats to Snute for playing the worst series I've ever seen by him.
Was nice of him to do that for Harstem.

Snute posted on twitter that he was unwell during the series.
Probably stuck with aggression to keep games as short as possible

14 pages of comments, one of the worst total for a major tournament right? without koreans the final line up wasnt at all attractive (at least for me)

Ok so out of the 24 games, how many will korea lose?

Stork and DRG are pretty beatable I feel. It depends on who from the International side end up against them for most of the games. So I'd say slightly higher maybe 6-7.
edit: Looking at the match-ups they're maybe slightly unfavourable for the International side so I'd guess ~6. Also too bad that international team has not Terrans to field on Dusk Towers and Orbital.
