... Read the quoted. He asked "who gets the money" and they ARE holding a tournament later on (between the 4 of them) to determine who gets the money. It was in a post in this thread by Alex.IGN.

Correct

Foreigners really abuse the term "cheese". Even though it's not as bad as how they abuse the term "all-in", it's still really quite sad, though entertaining at the same time.
How the hell is building a proxy Factory and floating it to your opponents base 'cheese'? White-Ra defended StCs constant early aggression several times and yet he was never behind. If it was cheesy play, wouldn't he be AT LEAST a little behind if countered/defended? His strategy didn't change for over 5 minutes, he kept sending the same units over and over without a sudden transition to something like Banshees. His expansion was even ahead. He was just very aggressive, yet people call it "cheese". Give me a break, guys.

The guys complaining about Idra certainly have no idea what the words "jet lag" mean. China to Atlantic City is what, 11? 12? hours of difference?
|
Alex.IGN could you please link the thread or post the information for tomorrow, if it has been made available? I would like to open the next days thread but I am uncertain what to put in it.
|
@anyone who knows: What happened to the open bracket? Are they still playing because it doesn't look complete yet.

They never played or followed BW is probably the reason.

Does anyone know where I can find the vods or replays? I missed a few matches, kinda bummed out about that and would like to rewatch them.
EDIT: I am a total retard; there is a drop down menu with all of the games.
My excuse is 6 AM.
EDIT 2: These are actually from IPL 2. Again, 6 AM. Anyone?

I am not bashing. Do you even know what being a professional means?
Also, do you want other pro gamers to have this mentality to skip their games and just focus on the big prize? Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.

They are coinflipping/forfeiting their way through the rest of the matches it seems, as they are only for seeding purposes. Maybe some of them will get played, who knows.

Not many tournaments have exhibition matches at the start. This tournament and its structure is a special case

Ah.. that makes sense, thanks.

Agreed. We need aggressive builds to make the game fair. If not SC2 will be incredibly boring and it will be about who puts down their CC/Nexus/Hatchery eariler.

What do you think happened with Group C? They ALL AGREED on randomized seeds. You're also saying other pro gamers but almost all of them arrived way earlier than Idra and Puma. They all had time to rest. Why can't you accept the fact that the guy is legitimately tired and just wants to rest for the bigger prize?

If he was really that tired, why did he even bother to play his first match against White-Ra then? Other players got free forfeit wins, and because of this, bracket is messed up and white-ra is possibly going 3rd seed (forfeit wins against: mma 2-0, stc 2-0, while white-ra is 2-1)

Any info on the soundtracks you guys used today? Specifically during the conclusion and when the stream first went back up for Idra and whitera.
