Well, Wings of Liberty, it has been interesting and fun to say the least. Time to go out with a bang.

Are these showmatches in HotS? Do they have a special server to host the games? The official launch is tomorrow, if I'm not making mistakes with time zones.

All these events are hosted by Blizzard, so yeah, they have special access, I presume.

Also, King of the Beta finals are sometime tomorrow the afternoon between Polt and Morrow.

The 21 hr launch starts in a couple of hours and I'm sure they are HOTS show match's.

Most excited for the Korean event, obviously.
I just want Bisu to crush some nerds, or die in the attempt. Expecting great stuff from Life and Flash.

Interested to see how Bisu looks after being absent from Proleague for the past two rounds.

I like to believe that they keep Bisu in a frozen state until they need to dig him up every few months for show matches.

That must require quite a few Arbiters.

edit: looks like the Australian stream starts an hour before the TL Calendar event (ie it starts in 48 minutes), in case anyone's interested.

Seeing Bisu play is probably worth watching the Kr part alone.

A lot of Bisu fans are hoping he will "come back" when HotS launches, given that he did not have PL duties for the past few months, maybe he is done secretly training in the hyperbloic time chamber...

I'd like it if he announced he changed to Terran.

I would be most pleased as well.
But I fear he will just make 10 sentries and 1 oracle (to please the crowd, let it not be said that Bisu didn't make a new unit), and die to one mine drop.

Man the times are perfect for Europe, if you don't have to work or go to school
