iNcontroL is the only active player out of that group so if he somehow didn't win it would be super embarrassing for him.
Well, I guess Tyler is supposed to be practicing again so he'd win. All their training and practise is in 1v1 and an awful lot of that is learning build orders and timings. All that knowledge is pretty much useless in 2v2. 3v3 and 4v4 are even worse. The only 'real' advantage tyler and incontrol have is mechanics in a 2v2
I'm going to guess that that advantage won't really matter (if it exists), since all of them are ex-BW pros.

I was before but now knowing that they are doing 2v2 is a lot not less fun for me.
2v2 will be more fun, we can see a crapton of absurd strategies and there will always be something occuring on the screen.

Whatever, I guess I don't really care if I ever see Day9 play some 1v1. It doesn't matter if he's any good as long as he's a good caster, which is the job we want him to do.
I really wonder how Artosis plays though. We did see him play back when GSL just started, and he even made it to the Ro64 GSL open before getting knocked out. He didn't win a single game in NASL though, so I guess he dropped off hard and never got better.
I believe Artosis streams on Twitch sometimes but he hasn't in a while? Maybe you should check those out if you want there are a couple of videos there.

Let me give you all a little tale about my need for state of the game.
It was wednesday, when we europeans generally watch the VODs of the show. I had just finished a work schedule that was 9 days of work in a row. So my need for state of the game, which I had prepped myself for days was about reaching the limit of an heroin addict. As I sat myself down infront of the computer, started the STOG, i hear the kitchen clock ring. Perfect, I said to myself as my food was done and the STOG would have been buffered perfectly in time of my return.
However, as I stand up to go to the kitchen, I hear my chair turn with my headset wrapped around it and I turn to see my headset slowly slide across the desk to fall hard into the ground. My old headset was the same model and had broke when it fell from the same desk. I instantly checked the headset and put them on, only to hear a loud BRRRRR noise. "OH GOD" I said out loud.
Double checking with my speakers, apparently my headset was fine. But my soundcard had shortcutted somehow. AND I COULDNT LISTEN TO MY STATE OF THE FKKING GAME!
The next day I went to my local computer repair shop and told them the bad news. They look at it and told me they could have it fixed by the end of next week. My abstinence levels reached dangerous levels, twitching and cursing at my old phone; "why u no smartphone!?"
Friday, my sister returned home from a trip. At last! She had herself a laptop! With that I could listen to my favorite show! I asked for the laptop and she replied "Sure, but it has no batteries, I forgot the cable in the hotel room where I'd just been."
I stood on my knees and arms to the sky and screamed like only darth vader could; NOOOOO!!!!!!!
Saturday morning, I saw window of opportuinity. After doing some chores during the day, I could get myself to an internet cafe during the evening. If it wasn't for that stupid company party, that I had accually been super excited for that I forgot about. I could finally get myself to hook up with one of girls I've been longing for. Needless to say I went to that party and failed to hook up and set my alarm to get to the internet cafe. Nothing could stop me this time.
Sunday morning 10.00. Dazed, hang overed. Every step was hard and heavy as I walked to the train but it was all for a good cause. I get down there and god punished me again. Some suicide jumper had jumped infront of the train. By the thoughts of my failures from the day before and my serious lack of STOG, it was a surprise that wasn't me. So I went home. The trains were delay for hours and it was cold.
Monday morning, my last day of being off from work. I needed a F-ing computer. While on the train heading towards the internet cafe. My boss calls, I missclick when I bring up the phone from the jacket and answers. "We need you at work."
Not even fake coughs and fake sneezes could save the situation when the train operator called out the next stop in the background.
Thuesday 09.00 The computer guy calls me. The computer can be fixed but it will cost 450euro for everything. About twice as much I thought It would cost but at that point, I didn't care. I just wanted my computer back. First thing I did when I got on, was listen to that state of the game and played ladder and it felt gooooooood. All in good time before heading off to work.

obligitory "talk about naniwa vs nestea!" comment
with that said, I'm going to be sad when they take their break at the end of the year. (hopefully not as sad as last year, though) honestly I don't really care what they talk about, I just love listening to the cast talk about stuff. the topic could be like laundry folding techniques and I would tune in and download the mp3 file to relisten later on my ipod
so entertaining keep it up <3

Can I please ask you to rethink doing a "drunk cast". I know for a fact you have a lot of younger listeners and it sends a completely wrong message about responsible alcohol consumtion. Most of you guys are, believe it or not, role models for the younger generation. I mean, Artosis getting drunk at 10 in the morning is not an acceptable behavior. I think the level of quality in the previous "drunk cast" was horrible and it makes me cringe listening to it now.
Don't do it JP.

You can see him play during subscriber's monobattles but I suppose this is going to be a little more serious

He beat Grubby in a BO3 in their NASL group if I remember correctly.

I don't understand how what they are doing is irresponsible at all. If anything this is what you want people to be doing while drinking alcohol, sitting at home laughing with each other.

It's the parents responsibility to vet what their kids watch, this is and has always been a show with a bunch of adult gamers shooting the shit, and fairly frequently it involves talk of alcohol and various lewd jokes. It is not the job of the show to tone it down so that some potential audience members get a good message, the show isn't even marketed towards those young kids.
A show shouldn't have to censor itself because someone outside it's target audience might watch it.

More serious? While being drunk? While playing on a team with his biggest BW rival (artosis)? I wouldn't be surprised if he just does some silly strategy.
