My caster spin: the mistakes and tilts make these high-stakes matches feel more "real"

Wait a sec, maybe I actually believe this...

Sad for Creator, it was really close. I really hope Dark bounces back from this though, he must be kicking himself after that performance. The emotional weight of the last pre-military tourney is really heavy huh

this schedule is pretty rough, and tomorrow doesn't seem any better, maybe even worse

yeh they should have played the RO12 bracket out of order imo, prioritize the ppl who had the earlier RO24 matches

saves them a couple of hours

Been a long time since I've seen a series where both players were so shaken.
The timing on that nexus kill, the emotions, the weird plays.

Not the best gameplay series, but definitely the stand-out narrative so far. Gotta feel bad for Creator though

1000 people in twitch chat brutally mocking creator as a "crybaby" for showing emotion, meanwhile someone mocked those people back and got timed out of the chat for it. not sure about that lol

Twitchchat moronic as ever. /shrug

Pride and glory and everything aside, it was a minimum $10,000 failed recall too. I'd have the same reaction.

Just one more suggestion to send to ESL's suggestion box... if they had one.

in this case, I think it really brought out the emotions in this match, this match/tournament was so important to both players, especially once they got to game 5

Thinking about it a little - I think Creator's miscalculation came from the beginning of the base trade.

Those lings didn't have adrenal glands when Dark countered, so Creator saw how fast they were killing stuff at the start and shifted his focus to his army/attack.

Realizes he needs to recall but doesn't account for how quick the lings would kill his base because he thought they weren't cracklings.

Too late, dead.

pretty easy prediction for tomorrow imo, most likely Maru vs Serral and herO vs Reynor for the semis

Twitchchat moronic as ever. /shrug

twitch chat is always dumb, but dehumanizing someone for having emotion invested into what they do is worse and dumber than the standard fare of balance whining or spamming memes, so it's worth criticizing IMO /shrug

Base trades are so rare, those thoughts do not start until you see yourself with no probes and no nexus

Just rewatched the last seconds of the game and Creator's cam, don't remember seeing anyone getting so openly emotional after a loss. That was truly crushing and heartbreaking. Hope the guy can overcome that harsh loss.

I don't think they read it. Nothing has changed with CS:GO or SC2. At least nothing I can see.

That, and better stream quality is why I watch on youtube.

Nobody likes people complaining all the time

So glad this tournament has finally been streamed on youtube.
