Thanks for the thread as usual!

So I know this is a long shot, but do any Poles or iem katowice regulars know where you can watch the games on Thursday in Katowice? Is there a barcraft or a sports bar that will show the sc2 games?


If you find nothing and feel desperate, hit the train, in just 3 hours you are at my place in Warsaw where we have plenty of screens (not much room around them though )

Haha, thanks for the offer! I think it's a bit too far .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Well it's actually so close that I started thinking of stopping by (I originally did not think I would be in Poland during IEM, but I ended up changing my plans and your post made me look at the train offer). But still not sure, maybe it's easier for an old man like myself to watch from home.

I just hope we see a lot more of that tank-heavy play from Special like he pulled against Classic. Not sure what his current TvP is and if that was just a one-off thing for him but it was refreshing to watch.

Almost a crime not to go if you have the time!
Not sure how long you have to wait in line without a ticket though, are there still some left?

We bought the premium tickets back then just to be sure, didn't want to have to wait or stand for hours after flying over . If you do come, definitely drop me a PM so we can meet!

Special demonstrated some pretty fantastic TvP against Classic at Blizzcon. He 2-0'd the arguably second best PvT player in the world, and people are thinking hes gonna struggle against Creator and Patience? idk about that one gents, I think the Dorito is being underestimated here.

To be fair, it will be difficult to play nothing but protoss at a high level because at SOME point youre gonna be repeating builds, but on the flip side all his protoss opponents are currently practicing PvP probably exclusively.

I think Stats, Zest, and Special make it out.

If Mcanning can take a map off Special than Classic, Creator and Patience can take 2 maps from him
Faker is the GOAT!

I really hope that the main stream of group A is just Special vs. everyone.

It's definitely quite a bit of an advantage for Special that he only has to play against Protoss players, unless if it's his worst matchup then that doesn't really help.

The problem is that you cant expect much build depth from foreigners. So after the 2nd match it will get pretty hard when you are out of fresh builds

maybe it would be a in dual tournament format, but not in this round robin format... especially when he had basically 1 day to prepare, there's only so many rabbits one can pull from the hat

But the other players will play simultaneously, thus not being able to really watch his games. Repeating builds shouldn't be that much of a problem in this format.

I'd imagine if you're up against SpeCial in a bo3 and he's just played 1-4 bo3s against your race, you'd probably check the vods before the match. Or at least ask one of the other tosses what he's been doing.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Unless you think he's by far you least important obstacle and dedicate your valuable time to studying the other world-class protosses in your group.

It's a weird situation, but I think Special can actually make a good run out of it.

"Ties broken in the following order :
Overall matches won
Overall map score difference
Matches won among tied players
Map score difference among tied players
Tie-breaker match
Coin toss"

This brings on some memories.
