Hey, I signed up for the $10 patreon sub. How can I get the replays?
|
Replays will be released all together later in the season.
|
What servers are the games played on?
Also did Maru turn down the invite?
|
did maxpax not get invited because it has a potential for offline finals etc?

Day 2 full VOD!
Nice to see you at the casting desk today sir!
Although I do obviously bear a great resentment in that I was a Liquid HerO fanboy, with nobody fully filling that void until Trap. I’m definitely losing the ‘who is the biggest HerO/subsequently Trap fanboy around?’ poll :p

Has Clem ever had a single unit get hit by an opponent’s Disruptors? Swear those things are beach balls against him. Even when he sees them incredibly late.
Clem has probably lost more units to friendly fire from Disruptors playing Toss based on Chargelots doing their own thing and enthusiastically jumping on beach balls than he has playing Terran from his Toss haha!
I really loved some of herO’s play today. The usual mix of sharp and ruthless with sloppy. Nice mind game into phoenix (probably my favourite SC2 unit), sloppy donation of them subsequently but he did enough.
His crushing of Clem’s push in game 2 was super sick. Very judicious wraparound of the stalkers to snipe a stray tank. Continue attacking from that angle, while prism drops immortals approaching from below the leader on tanks and Chargelots bang in at the front. Really nice stuff.
Really enjoying this overall so far. Few technical snafus can happen but I think presentation has been pretty bang on, casting’s been good, not too much downtime, Mapu is killing the observing as per usual.
Long may it continue!

Accidentally choosing the worst competition to try winning

ATTENTION ATTENTION ALERT ALERT.
no one has posted in this thread all day.
i feel like I need to remind you RSL is on in 1 hour with a sick group. Harstem vs a world of zerg including 2 EWC qualified players. SHOULD BE AWESOME. TUNE IN.
|
Hahaha, what a sick build from Cham
|
Love this so far. Great casting and production, great games. TBH haven't enjoyed watching SC2 this much since I don't know when.

Can someone put more information about the tournament on Liquipedia? like:
- Which period of the tournament will be offline, which will be online?
- Reasons for the absensce of top players like Serral, Maru, MaxPax.
By the way, when did Liquipedia remove the descriptions of tournaments?

Very cool results today. Love to see it. Congrats to the group winner! :O

Anyone more knowledgeable explain why Harstem consistently goes for a wall of pylon and 2 gates, rather than pylon behind and 3 other buildings as the wall?
It seemed pretty vulnerable today and got exploited a bit, I’m sure there’s a legit payoff to doing that I’m just not super sure what it is!

I don't believe they are doing offline yet? i know there are some benchmark goals but this is an everchanging process and roughly a template as its their first draft tournament but someone could correct me if I'm wrong. Furthers your point that we need that information.

online/offline:
i can be wrong, but reading the first post, it seems to be clear that the seasons are all online events.
if RSL can raise enough money to reach goal 3, they will commit to an (additional) offline season final event.
i don't see and expect them to fly a Clem/Cham/Reynor to S. Korea for a regular season playoff ro4 (with a <$10k price pool).

WombaT:
i don't think i'm that knowledgeable, but here we go
fact:
herO started doing this 1 pylon 1 gate cyber wall in ZvP a few years ago, and he is good at getting away with it.
this could be a bait to invite zergs to try to bust the wall. if all goes well and the opponent is a honorable macro Z, P can get up the third faster, while still having just enough units to defend it.
my theorycrafting/assumption:
you go adept first, and have godly scouting skills and game sense, confirm the zerg is indeed macroing, continue with the earlier nexus plan. you want your stargate down around ~2:17, chrono oracles.
if you see a lack of drones, more lings than usual, you can simply reinforce your wall with additional gate, you can delay your nexus a bit, wait for first and maybe second oracle, maybe add a battery to your wall, depending on how many lings you see.
