Minigun is always a dark horse who does way better than everyone thinks he will. I don't really like his playstyle, especially PvZ, but I recognize how absurdly solid and flat-out good it is.
(Please keep this in mind before telling us that Inc is just awful.)

You see HuK? you no pick Alive as easy opponent in GSL anymore :D

I find it funny where a few months ago protoss called zergs crybabies(and still call them that) and it seems thats all protoss does these days when they're having a tough time.

No it didn't. Alive actually prob made a mistake by not killing nex, rob, probes.

Close air positions...
Looks like Huk inherited Idra's positioning luck on Metalopolis.

Close Air, this isnt going to fun for HuK

Splitscreen lagging for me like shit, but if i watch one its really smooth. Well otherwise, this production value is awesome. I really like this tournament a lot so far. Too bad i have to wake up so early tomorrow :-(
And on Saturday i have to watch LoL and SC2 at the same time, oh noes. E-Sports entertainment overload ^^

Could be best for all involved over at EG. because he lost a PvP (an incredibly fluctuating match up atm) to Minigun? Give me a break. Its not like its his first game to lose. He has lost all his games recently. Even when he cheesed and he should theoretically win. I have to agree on what he said. iNcontroL is probably also dissapointed in himself and he isnt really improving at all so I think it would be the best for himself to go back being a caster. So basically, when a professional player isn't improving fast enough, he should quit. Good attitude. He has played with the best people in the US for a good 7-8 months or even more. Sure he has been casting etc. And yes his gaming has taken a beating form that but it has not improven AT ALL while playing now for 3-4 months without being a caster. He sure is trying, and that is good, but its clearly not enough and he needs to wake up. "Incontrol hasn't been improving" is an absurd assertion. Everybody is getting better. Incontrol is holding his position with them. Your attitude is ridiculous. If there's something you love doing, you keep trying until you are no longer able to support yourself at it. Holding his position with who??? Havent you seen his results of late? He has lost all his games and its not like he has been cheesed out all his games, he has been playing plain bad. Cant blame that on someone else than himself. The only one he is holding is position with is himself. Mandatory "He cannot hold"

I am CERTAIN it dwarfs the 1k they would gain for winning in pool play. 30k
Ok, reveal all of your builds and earn 1k extra from pool play, or reveal them later and earn 30k? As i said earlier, people are hesitant

Wheat not wanting to use the term 'artosis pylon' :D

Look at hero, if huk was practicing with hero these days his ZVP would be on another level, probably would have been able to deal with stephano even. He didn't even practice with oGs 99% of the time, so that can hardly make any difference whatsoever. He even went as far to say that MC never helped him at all, not even providing him some replays he asked. Besides, he is still in ogs-tl house.. And he is actually still in the oGs house so....

So...I'm probably dumb but I don't get the point of this pool play if all of the 32 players automatically go to the championship bracket...
Can anyone explain in two words?

4:00:
aLive going for a barrack first
HuK going for a gateway followed up by gas, HuK sends out his probe and scouts alive straight ahead.
HuK trying as much harashment as he can with his probe. alive walled of his ramp so the probe is unable to go in.
HuK going for a cyber after his gateway finished.
alive has no gas yet but HuK is unable to scout that, aLive throws down a second command center at 3:26 near his main command center.
HuK chroning a stalker out of his gateway, he is not chronoboosting his warpgate tech.

That's what I thought when I looked over the format, it really does seem like it has any significance, the top seeded player in the pool might get puma in the bracket, it's pretty pointless. Seems like filler

Placing 2-4 in your group and winning only 1 round in the bracket also wins you $2000. They will save the real builds for the bracket

More games for viewers, you earn 1k for being #1 in your pool of 4, and 500 for being #2
