Just bought my ticket today, hype to see how the challenger turn out
Tosis, I think Antis is the new Zerg Bonjwa!
i don't like antis, he's a toxic runt
Interesting, Antis getting to challenger was a surprise
Neeb got lucky he avoided Silky
Cheering for Cuddlebear on account of name. Also go Neeb
Those might have been the WORST PROXIES EVER OF ALL TIME
Those were some truly terribly executed proxy raxes. I expect a lot more from NA when it comes to cheese.

Does game 1 even count as proxy 4-rax? It was closer to Cuddlebear's main than to Scarlett's 3rd. It's just 4 Maka raxes really.

Too hard to scout to be Makaraxes. I do think it qualifies as a proxy as long as it isn't in your base or right next to it to fake proxy.
accidentaly canceled my queen instead of spine that last game

Man that sounds like a great build to take me out of Gold(?) league NA.
Disappoint maps so far today. Not even close. Group B will be done quickly if it continues like this.

Might qualify for the Has award of August...
NA really is something else
Yeah, the shield battery was unpowered--Future could 100% have killed everything.
Might as well get Shadow Stride at this point
I like how future raised the supply depots in his main when the DT walked in. Only there was no Barack between them.
this is so much better than GSL
Ok,I'm laughing so hard now. Tears are rolling!! :D :D :D
This is brilliant. And a rematch between these two isn't unlikely.
In Spain, people take some time off work in the afternoon to nap or more generally rest. It’s called a siesta. This was the inspiration for NA, where players sometimes let their brains rest in the middle of games. That’s called a fiesta.
The best region of StarCraft clearly.

Don't raise the expectations!
Still can't get over Future raising his supply depots when the DT is walking in right between them though. That was the funniest thing ever.
I didn't know the next season of Game of Throws was already out LUL
Yeah, I dunno... hope there is a learning curve after this.
A painful way to lose, for sure.
The players have quite a stare on these graphics they are using. puCK in particular looks like he just left a warzone.
It's pretty amazing that Scarlett looked that dominant despite not scouting that base for so long and making a few lag-induced miscontrols
That probe harass micro is pretty sick--looks real well timed.On August 13 2018 05:36 SetGuitarsToKill wrote: It's pretty amazing that Scarlett looked that dominant despite not scouting that base for so long and making a few lag-induced miscontrols
Those "lag-induced" mistakes looked pretty similar to the "lag-induced" a-moves vs GuMi (or was it aLive?) in GSL .

I was thinking of the awkward passport photo.
Even Fantasy would be impressed by how puCK refuses to leave until the last disruptor falls.

NA? Disruptors are silly tho, can't blame cuddlebear that much
Hoping for some dank full NA ZvZs.
TRUE down vs Bioice? Where's the angry Psistorm manager tweet?
Give NA's spots to Australia.
I'll be polite and call that attack "courageous"
How cute, they put all the Terrans in a group so that we could get a T in the round of 16.

That's true, there doesn't really seem to be any group of death in this tourney.

We've had 6 proxies in 3 games. NA >> Korea.

with the expected painfully one-sided phase now over, I hope we get some good series. The matches look good on paper at least.

Neeb expected to win according to Aligulac. 81% confident... Dropped $50 on Neeb. Let's go!
That oracle skin is against WCS rules right? Though I guess no one really cares about oracle skins (unlike for example half the roach skins).

okay maybe matter wasn't the right word, but the ones that have a reasonable chance of being close
the tvp madness continues
why did TvP suddenly become Proxy: the matchup
MaSa really blurs the boundary of what constitutes a fake proxy. Is there even a point when you send your SCV just as far as you could send it for an actual proxy?On August 27 2018 06:13 SetGuitarsToKill wrote: why did TvP suddenly become Proxy: the matchup

There was that 1 game on Abyssal Reef when he had a massive lead vs Nerchio, went hive, made ultras, lost them all on lurkers and lost the game.

He is pretty good all around but he is almost always agressive with things like hydra pushes and stay with a low drone count. But honestly if Scarlett just moved out a bit earlier after loosing the 3rd she get surrounded and just loses, it can go pretty fast.
Nate will appreciate this:VIDEO
That was fairly safe and it was still far too greedy against TRUE

I hope not. This series can't end before we see Scarlett cheese out Neeb on Redshift. That map deserves a fitting send-off.

This is even more one sided than what she did to him Her win did get her more money though, so that's nice
I hope we see this variety of play out of Neeb in GSL. It's nice to not just see the same thing over and over again. Then again, Scarlett hasn't really cheesed him yet so I don't know if he can actually hold any of that.

Well one of those was a race swap where Neeb played Zerg and Scarlett played Terran, but yes. They've played 151 maps, and Neeb is about 55.6% historical map score vs Scarlett's 44.4% map score.
