Shitty Ravager Rush strikes again!

Lero confirmed better than INnoVation.

Who is Lero? Do we actually have a new Korean player? Not just a name change?

He's a Korean amateur. ~6k MMR. Has played in a few online events, qualifiers in the past.

I don't think anyone knows. He's too new, he only started playing tournaments last year.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. While Lero himself is a relatively new player on the competitive stage, amateurs such as Lero, HH, Dandy have always been at the fringe of the Korean scene, but don't make it to the level of the pros. Now that KeSPA is gone, the Korean scene really doesn't have much infrastructure to nurture new talents, and the existing pros make a formidable barrier.
I like his style though.

He did a ghost/cyclone/hellion push that just sort of dies to a whole shit ton of roaches. With some refinement it could be a cool style

Afreeca also supports HTML5.

Thank you! I was about to resign, because it is cool that they sponsor this content, but their service with flash is really unwatchable outside of Korea and without using Internet Explorer.

i cant find any option to do this. is only a link you can copy to strem it in a vlc player nothing more.

press cog-wheel at lower right of pop up menu (left of source and cinema mode etc), then player type.
|
what is up with the no-shows. disappointing!
|
Yeah, was the timing just too bad for Scarlett to continue? She played against puck but then ffed against uThermal?
|
Nerchio got DQ'd too and posted this a bit afterwords
Something might be up, idk

is the worst player on the world and i have no idea why people usethem for tournaments. is a reason why they have only 188 people wtshing this tournament.

Seems really weird that Scarlett would beat Puck then step out. Wonder what's up behind the scenes because it does seem like a lot of walkovers for the final stage of tournament with a decent prize pool.
Not sure about the afreeca player complaints though. Haven't checked the Flash player but the HTML5 does everything I would expect.

Maybe the puck game was cast from replay

was thermal attacking the rocks with his siege tanks as solar ran down the ramp? looked like it.
|
uThermal should switch things up a bit more. It feels like at any given time uThermal has a few different openings into one way to play standard plus a few cheeses.
|
a gg and a win... my prediction in ruins.

Yea he was, at least 2 tank volleys worth on juicy clumped up zerg were wasted there. prolly enough to turn the battle tbh

Did we every find out why all those walk-overs happened? I tuned out after every protoss was eliminated.
