The two accomplished Wol Zergs VortiX and Nerchio advanced over the underdogs monchi and Dayshi in Group F. Vortix advanced in first place with a good all-around performance, defeating his opponents in macro games as well as showing a clever overlord + roach all-in against Dayshi in final series. Errors cost Nerchio his initial series against Dayshi, but he recovered by defeating monchi in the losers match and winning a rematch against Dayshi in the final match to secure a Ro16 spot.
WCS America: EG.Suppy.RC scores a major upset by defeating AX.Heart and AX.Ryung to reach the Ro16; Hellokitty gives mixed performance before ceding second place spot to Ryung.
After utter Korean domination in week one of WCS America, the USA's Suppy hit back with the biggest one day upset across all WCS regions. Suppy didn't drop a single map as he defeated two Korean Terrans, Axiom's Heart and Ryung, to advance to the Ro16 as first place in his group. The highlight of Suppy's night was a fifty minute brawl against Heart, which was as entertaining as it was scrappy and sloppy. On the other hand, Suppy's series against Ryung was much easier, with Ryung tapping out against consecutive roach-bane attacks.
The other American in the group, Hellokitty, put on a more mixed performance. He lived up to his reputation as a cheesy player in his first series, getting crushed by Ryung who carefully scouted and prepared for all-ins. However, Hellokitty got some redemption in the losers match against Heart, where he defeated the Korean Terran in a macro game before finishing him off with an immortal all-in build. The Koreans did get the last laugh on the night, as Ryung had no trouble defeating Hellokitty once again, avenging his teammate Heart and reaching the Ro16.
So sad that the first night of WCS-NA that I miss, someone from NA makes it out, but congrats to Suppy!
My hope is that this decreases the number of posts in the WCS-NA live report threads that just crap all over the NA scene.... But I doubt it will do anything.
man teamliquid writers are pretty good at WCS EU predictions right now. though i could cattle fionn into the ground with my german coverage and predictions but right now TL writers and i have both 10/12 guesses right.
Heart floated to somewhere around 7-8k resources while zerg had 0 bank - at one point he was up about 130 supply zerg vs maxed terran, while being ahead on upgrades, bases;
He literally managed to throw a game from being up a base vs zerg with a 7k vs 0 bank by IIRC, splitting up his army, taking really bad engagements, having very few production facilities, and losing most of his production and several orbitals to an army that couldn't shoot up, and even while this was going on, had 3-5k minerals, but didn't think to build any more production literally anywhere.
It's the biggest throw i have seen in professional sc2, period
I mean, Grats to Suppy for winning, but the game was not his and i am sure he knew that.
He lost all the drones at the third, lost 17 banelings to a single widow mine shot, terran had a 50% supply lead, upgrade lead, worker lead, like holy shit, Heart deserves a medal for losing that game. It's like he took a bathroom break for 5 minutes because he felt he was too far ahead, and came back after losing all of his shit and even then he should have won but he didn't, i don't even know what to say
Great games by Suppy, he made his attacks work even when they were fully scouted. (edit: I only saw the Ryung series, but he looked in control the whole time.)
Hellokitty had some good games, but got rolled over in others. I think he will do well if he refines his play more. Some of his proxy strategies worked well, but others fell flat.

Suppy couldn't have played well, relatively speaking then? We don't seem to be allowing for that possibility. Suppy was a major dark horse, I am not an EG fanboy but I was happy to see him get through.

He was very cost efficient and denied reinforcements by occupying/destroying Heart's production. All of his Ultralisks were heroes.
Edit: That single one back at home stood out above the rest though. What a champ.

True, but I'm glad he stayed in it anyway and did not adopt Idra's mindset.

Yeah 3 banshees instead of ravens and that game would've ended 30 minutes earlier. Still, it was quite entertaining and very nice games by Suppy!
Glad to see Suppy get through. The Europe group winners were predictable though.
Side note: I've never seen updates show up this quickly on the forums on any tournament. Ever. Is this Wax's passive aggressive way of lashing out at WCS/Blizzard/MLG or something?

He lost the game and then heart gave it back to him on a silver platter.
I don't mean bad for Suppy, but he lost. Horribly. I don't think he would dispute that, it's just somehow terran managed to lose the game afterwards.
I'm legitimately saying that this is the greatest game I've seen in a long long time. Suppy vs heart game 2. Things get out of control like 15 minutes into the video and the game doesn't end for another 23 minutes. Everyones hanging around 100 good as they scramble to rebuild base's and stop the other guy from doing the same. An ultra that wouldn't die, ravens ravens everywhere, inredible micro by heart time and time again all building up to a frantic pace at the end where you have no idea whos going to win and you just enjoy the game for what it is.
Also Axslav really comes into his own on this cast. keeps up the hype on the slow parts and does a good job while being alone for the whole thing.

I heard a few people call it the greatest game, as soon as i saw that it went on for another half hour after the earlier events, i was slamming head into desk repeatedly. Look at 12:10. Seriously. When he floated to 4, 5, 6, 7k without building any more production or orbitals...

Obviously you dislike suppy for some reason. Lose your envy and enjoy the entertainment...no one is saying its the highest level of play but was fun to watch.
Suppy really balances his study and game well! I wish that he could go for Korea for a couple of months to take a shot in Korean SCII leagues, which really gives him advice whether to be a progamer or not then. Feel pity for Hellokitty. He even appeared in the Chinese SCII forum before, and after that I haven't seen him.

The extent of the terran throw makes it impossible for me to enjoy it, and i think that's why it shouldnt be called one of the best games

Suppy's performance is not actually that surprising when you look at how well he did in the last WCS I've been a fan of his ever since that tournament, he's so good

People making any good game into a "throw" has literaly ruined esports for me.
Some people simply want to ruin other peoples fun and to be miserable. It was a really good game that was exiting to watch.

Dunno about that guy but I watch to see great builds and game play. That game was pretty horrible by Heart. It was a pretty bad game in the eyes of a mid masters player. Exciting- but not great gameplay by any means

Agree with Cyro. After watching GSL ro32, this seems kinda... weak in comparison. Of course, it's a new league, i hope the games get better though. It's easier for me to follow the Koreans and the Europeans.

It's the biggest throw i have seen in professional sc2, period
I mean, Grats to Suppy for winning, but the game was not his and i am sure he knew that.
He lost all the drones at the third, lost 17 banelings to a single widow mine shot, terran had a 50% supply lead, upgrade lead, worker lead, like holy shit, Heart deserves a medal for losing that game. It's like he took a bathroom break for 5 minutes because he felt he was too far ahead, and came back after losing all of his shit and even then he should have won but he didn't, i don't even know what to say
Definitely not the biggest throw. Perhaps top 10.
what do you think the biggest throws in sc2 have been?
NesTea, IdrA and Ret can probably split all ten among themselves

if Mvp-Squirtle metropolis can be called one of the best games because of context, then game 7 of that series is probably the greatest throw of all time

nah, but he's like unmatched (well, NesTea is probably worse) in how cost inefficient he sometimes manages to be with lategame armies, he often gets a seemingly unsurmountable advantage and the ultimate army of death and then move commands his twenty broodlords into marines or vikings without any support at all, similar stories with different unit compositions
I remember the quarterfinal at DH Stockholm last year vs Polt on Ohana, that might have been a decent example, but I'm not 100% sure.
Eh, just rewatched it, nah, that wasn't one of them.
I'm legitimately saying that this is the greatest game I've seen in a long long time. Suppy vs heart game 2. Things get out of control like 15 minutes into the video and the game doesn't end for another 23 minutes. Everyones hanging around 100 good as they scramble to rebuild base's and stop the other guy from doing the same. An ultra that wouldn't die, ravens ravens everywhere, inredible micro by heart time and time again all building up to a frantic pace at the end where you have no idea whos going to win and you just enjoy the game for what it is.
Also Axslav really comes into his own on this cast. keeps up the hype on the slow parts and does a good job while being alone for the whole thing.
I heard a few people call it the greatest game, as soon as i saw that it went on for another half hour after the earlier events, i was slamming head into desk repeatedly. Look at 12:10. Seriously. When he floated to 4, 5, 6, 7k without building any more production or orbitals...
Obviously you dislike suppy for some reason. Lose your envy and enjoy the entertainment...no one is saying its the highest level of play but was fun to watch.
I have nothing against suppy, or heart
but the game was awful XD
The extent of the terran throw makes it impossible for me to enjoy it, and i think that's why it shouldnt be called one of the best games
People making any good game into a "throw" has literaly ruined esports for me.
Some people simply want to ruin other peoples fun and to be miserable. It was a really good game that was exiting to watch.
some people like different things
stop trying to ascribe that as some kind of personality flaw
guy said he didn't like the game, he wasn't telling you to hate it too
Was just about to post the same exact thing, but obviously you beat me to it. Not everyone has to like the games that everyone else does.
Excellent work by Suppy. I don't know how many of you saw him streaming literally minutes before his WCS matches, but he was on a huge losing streak to DeMusliM and very clearly disappointed -- the fact that he managed to overcome that and take his game to the next level is a testament not only to his ability but his potential to improve.

MKP nuking his own army?
IIRC he won that game ? Not sure anymore, I could be wrong... All I remember is that sweet move : seeker missile on his own medivac then turbo boost it into his opponent army for AoE damage. Man, that was sweet. :p

really glad to hear that about suppy's success. suppy's story is an easy one to like. He is personable and genuine, and most of all clearly a very intelligent unit as shown to the public with his post game analysis on his stream; there's never a sense of total frustration, and he seems to have a keen understanding of the machinations behind the dynamics of winning and losing games.
edit: just watched the highly recommended game 2 vs heart and it's clear that before suppy's (first) attack at like 17 minutes heart's macro was afk hence why people call this a throw but still a good comeback and good cost effectiveness by suppy after that point

Agreed, that was painful.
Although I seem to recall another game with proxy 2-rax vs 2 hatch before pool and then managing to lose it. That takes quite some doing.

It's not like it's genes that make Koreans better at the game; they are good mainly because their culture allows for more dedication to practice and because of the better infrastructure with pro houses and such. So being American with Korean roots really doesn't help you... And I really don't know what you're getting at with the Chinese part; the Chinese aren't even that good at sc2...

Nah. Flying game is nowhere near a throw. He just had mediocre army control Probably got overconfident and blinked into locust/hydra and underestimating the zerg army.

This game was actually hugely entertaining, good thing you posted this, everyone should watch it.
It's got a good deal of mistakes but an even greater deal of very cool play. The use of Ravens was wonderful to watch and I admire Suppy's ability to throw out the unit being targeted so as to not take aoe damage. All in all, it was a very close game down to the last few minutes.
This community really misuses the term "throwing a game". In fact, I think most of the people who use it don't know that it implies intentionally losing in order to fix a bet.
Using the term "throwing a game" really takes away from a win, and it drives me nuts. Ok, so one player was ahead. Maybe by a lot. Comebacks happen all the time in regular sports, and they're *always* lauded as a great performance by the team that was behind, instead of mocking the team that was ahead.

But you're forgetting how cool it is to be cynical on the internet.

Did you check his Liquipedia? It looks like he is American born and raised. If Suppy's not American, then I'm not. And I've spent every one of my 22 years in Arkansas.

Must be. I mean fuck, just listen to Suppy speak. If that's a Korean accent then I'm from Australia.

Ah yes, I did forget about that. I'd rather be a happy excitable fanboy than a sullen basement dweller, but to each his own.

"throwing a game" can mean many things, it could mean that the one that had very good chance of winning made some mistakes and lost, but it doesn't say if these mistakes were made intentionally or not
