Are all 11 teams will participate in CTC 2010 regular season?
|
Hum, so 11 teams...I guess its all the ones from the other CTC (except P1 and Ocean Gaming) + DPG right? Are any other teams on the horizon?
Cool tournament btw. Really important that these players have some off season tournaments so they can keep up with their adversaries and have some extra money.

New teams are DPG and AlphaX. P1, Ocean Gaming and Black Night left the league.

Ah damn...I had high hopes for that new Black Night squad...I thought they could evolve a ton their 15 year old players and stuff.
Alpha X...nice nice, so Astrea, BreakingGG and maybe *wink wink* DRGling (judging by is battletag in kr ladder)?? Or MaSa if he doesn't lag horribly

I will say about the thing whether Sakura could participate in CTC2020S1.
I don't know whether Pengwin could see the message.
I just say the fact that in a tournament (Chinese CSL 2019), Sakura won his “apprentice”, 星空凛 (the ID is about a Japanese animated character, his match of the qualifier of WESG 2018 - 2019: https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzc3MzMyMDQ0NA==.html, a Terran player. Then, he abandoned and 星空凛 "won" the match. Netease has decided to inquire into the thing.

How would Has fit into this picture? He's not on a CTC team and partnerships weren't allowed in the past. Also not the teams don't get even amounts of players into the tournament either?
Sounds so weird it has to be true.

Yeah P1 disbanded
So SortOf...is cascade going to be on CTC?? Hmmm hard to believe so, but its weird to me that they invite SortOf, he's pretty good but wasn't expecting it

Funny that TY is listed as a TSG player even though there still hasn't been any announcement.

Also to not have the entire chat flowing across the stream hover your mouse over the little circular thing next to the volume meter and drag the slider from 100% to 0%. That will make the comments transparent.

You can just click that circular thing to turn it off.

watching this stream site layout you realize how different Chinese culture is.
Edit: Also Dream looks in good shape!

Firefly is killing it lately.
Really like the Bo2s in round robin format. It's great that we see more and more of that.

It's just because he is in Korea and no lag in KR sever...

If Firefly lost to Jieshi, the 1-1 against EF was so fxxxxxh.
EDIT: the tie-break is bo1 and at last, Firefly got the fourth place of Group A.

Why on earth does Liquipedia not have the results in the standard Wins-Losses-Ties format?

Literally half the series in Group A ended in a 1-1 tie. You think that's an improvement on anything?

Yes. I prefer that we get more matchups rather than having to play a third decisive map. It's particularly good when combined with prize money for every map win, like they did at HSC.

I don't see how the Bo2s result in more matchups above and beyond those provided by the round robin format which frequently results in tiebreakers when best of 3s are played. That additional tiebreaker is also significantly less Starcraft than every match that ended with a 1-1 tie getting a third game.

My point is that the Bo2 format makes a round robin shorter, so it is viable in more situations than when it uses Bo3 because then it is often not used because of time constraints. I think RR is a great format because we get to see more players match up.

This. BO2 allows you to do larger round robins and keep it on track and put out a pretty reliable length of stream. 8 BO3s can be 16 maps or 24, which is a huge variance whereas if you know it will be 16 maps only you have much better control on how it is played. In smaller round robins this doesn't matter because there are less matches to cover and the variance is smaller anyways.

Does anyone in the English speaking world use WTL for sports? Because I've literally never seen it in the U.S. up until now. Football and Boxing the only sports where ties or draws are somewhat common.

Wonder if TY will at least play some bio against BreakingGG. He shouldn't need the strongest strategy to win there.

Just so I understand this correctly, the tie breaker is map wins and not matches. So TIME can't win the group by winning all his matches today because he would be 8-2 in maps but went 0-2 against TY who also went 8-2. And since Solar lost a map to TRUE now, he also can at best go 8-2. So depending on the result of TIME vs Solar either TY wins the group or there's a possible tie between Solar and TY.

Correct, group standings are determine by map wins only. A map win tie would mean a best of 1 tiebreaker.

Oh, my god!
BreakingGG got the fourth place.

According to the rumor, if Solar 2-0 Nice, TY has no time to play the tiebreaker. Solar should be the first place.

You make it sound so mysterious. "The rumor". Wardi said all of TY's matches were yesterday because he can't play today. The tournament is so drawn out they could play the tie breaker any other day but giving 1st to Solar would be easier. But Nice Skytossed him.
Really good performance from BreakingGG I have to say.
|
Bump as Group C is live right now
|
Whether Has and Rex have to play the tiebreak is still unknown.
SCboy didn't find it though the ranking in the live stream is "3rd Has 4th Rex".
|
Looking forward to playoffs starting today. The bracket is pretty good, although the stronger lower half only starts tomorrow.
|
Here we go.
And I guess this is a good time to ask where are those Chinese team flairs?

Ok, not a big deal, but I thought it was always best to only move workers when oversaturated, an then mule the fresh base.

TvZ is 45.70% on this map, only slightly better than world of sleepers. It's also shit in TvP. Really don't understand why Terrans don't veto it more often.

Well in Bo5 you can only veto 1 of them. Nightshade is also only marginally better against Zerg. So at the end of the day it's probably just preference.

Ahh, right. I guess I'm a bit prejudiced against it because it's bad in both matchups and on ladder you veto for all matchups at the same time.

That cyclone snipe on the natural was the dumbest thing I've seen since Cure doom dropped 5 unboosted medivacs in Inno's main.

Some serious 4th race stuff right there.
PS. Grats on birthday, hope John Sun got so wasted to celebrate that he forgets to play later.

Can't believe the bonjwa is defeated by the GOAT. I guess form is temporary and class is permanent.
|
If Cure is losing even online now, I'm not hopeful for his offline performances

What a series.
Now, who will Trap play?

Will it be TY, or will it be Elentos?

Mech was god's gift to humanity and the reason for terran supremacy in this alien universe.

TY so greedy
Let's see what that means for the series. I mean if you can't be greedy on eternal empire, where can you?

If only mech wasn't so weak to Protoss' most basic units, then it'd be really good.

TY TvP - when in doubt, pull the boys

TyP?

I wonder if TY holds the record for most tournament games won with SCV pulls.

This looks like a proper TY game

Nexus kill by the SVC, so baller

John Sun didn't get as much playing time today

Sh/Nydus may be weaker now but it's still bullshit
|
Is it just me or would it be so cool to have Chinese team flairs for this tournament?
|
In both these games Inno has had creep at his front door in less than 15 minutes.
|
Can somebody try to paint a dear form curve, it probably would be madness incarnate.
|
Stellar non existing micro there by dear xD
|
Honestly frame me a whiner but i don't see top zergs losing many ZvPs this year they just have too many options that make them good in longer series, while also being a race that has no problem playing just reactive.
|
Yeah, that is pretty much the problem. Playing reactive with excellent map vision, fast units on creep, and a superior economy, while having the ability to bank up larva, and a solid early game to get there in one piece.

Additionally sh/nydus still being good (just not completely bonkers anymore) and basically so many army combos and timings (that's what it looks like at least) which need different reactions from the protoss, lead to zerg just having an advantage i think.

Since Pre-Season is over, do we have any information about the next season of CTC?

I think they will wait for EPT qualifier dates etc to be figured out or maybe Korean leagues to be announced so they can work around the dates properly

What Wardi said plus waiting till after the Chinese New Year holidays, so don't really expect anything until well into February.
