Seconded, great games and casting to match.

Im still wondering if whoever beats Reynor gets any points for something or more money...is it just a friendly showmatch thingy?

Probably not. Just a Showmatch. At this point Clem and Reynor probably know each other inside out 
This had to be their 100th Series in the last 2 weeks at least
|
Hey all,
The match between the winner of each event and Reynor is for quite a sweet AOC monitor.
If the winner of the event wins the showmatch against Reynor he gets the monitor. If Reynor wins it, we will giveaway the monitor during the next stream to the Twitch viewers.

Is this also for Clem from last week or just starting from now on?
Great idear anyways, keep it up

It is for Clem too (he doesnt know yet :D) but would be kind of bad if we didnt award him a monitor

Last weeks seeding was Kung Fu Cup level seeding. Don t see a way to improve on that
It gives great games from Round 1 (or maybe 2) and in a more fun tournament like this, I m allright with that
Maybe just seed the top 4 an leave the rest as it was :D should be fun.

For some reason the sign up button on challonge is not working properly, just loads and does nothing. Has anyone had any issue like that before and knows a fix? I cant find anything online..
|
hi everyone, seems like there is currently a global challonge problem where you can't properly sign up to tournaments.
Please use ''sign up with alternative name'' when in the tournament page as a workaround if the main sign up button doesnt work!
Please also use a very close version of your real nickname so you can be easier to find ingame. For further updates join the discord server where we have constant tournament support.

Serral playing damn. Hope this gets enough interest. Red Bull back as a major sponsor would do wonders for the scene

It seems you were wrong instead

I really like that the winner of this tournament gets the chance to play Reynor. Like sure winning 250 dollars and beating top players including Serral is nice.
But the chance to play Reynor at the end must be amazing.
Of course you dont get any money from it, and you just played 6+ hours of starcraft 2 in a competitive setting just to win some money, but you get to play Reynor! Who is one of the best zerg players in Europe, fantastic stuff.

And now it's time for me to catch up on the games too

Turns out the only players that were able to take a Map of Clem yesterday were Serral and freaking MAXPAX with that amazing Proxy Tempest build :D
|
Clems TvZ is the real deal, holy shit.
The way he utilized the map to his advantage for his drops and his splitting and baneling focus fire are out of this world.
Very happy to see that TvZ late game seems more balanced again these days. The map pool seems to be slightly Terran favored right now, but I prefer that to the pre-Blizzcon state of the game for sure.
TvZ with a constant Muta/Ling/Bane vs Bio Tank or Bio Mine battle in the midgame that actually has the chance to transition into an awesome late game has always been my favourite starcraft to watch and I am so glad it is back !

Wow Clem beat Serral? Fucking hype man
The prophecy

|
Today the registration on the challonge bracket seems smooth, hope to see Serral playing again!
GL&HF

Clem is stupidly good Jesus.
|
Seems there was again an issue with the registration for XelNaga Finest week 5, it has now been resolved. Stream starts 18:00 CET as always. GL HF

If HeroMarine gets his name put on the ESL Open Cups, Clem certainly deserves the same for these Xel'naga Finest events.
|
Today is the final day of the event and we hope you will all be able to join either as participants or viewers so we can create bigger and better stuff with Red Bull in the very near future!
See you soon!
|
PlokoPloko with the +3 Attack build to hold a one-base All-In, great stuff.
|
Did showtime honestly lose to minato 2-0? Did someone cover that? :D
|
Loved all these tournaments. Thanks so much to Redbull and to Rotti and Wardi for casting. And all the players for showing geat games!

Thank you for organising this. It s been an amazing Series over the 6 weeks with pretty much every EU pro participating at one point as well.
I hope RB is seeding this as much as a succes as all of us do
Lets hope for some EPT Points for the next one?
|
I get the point of EPT from ESL' weeklies, but it would be weird for any other weekly, plus the fact that Reynor is the last boss would be unfair too.
|
My favorite cup. Pls keep it up but final boss could be Serral or maybe avoid it and get ept points!

The whole reason the final boss was Reynor was because Redbull sponsered this event and their player is Reynor. Serral wouldnt want to "waste" his time by playing the winner of this tournament lets be honest. Rather have them remove this final boss thing, or atleast make it a good money match so its worth the players time.
