Man what great game 3 by stats, that whole retreat - stand ground - retreat, while buying time for storms was beautiful, baiting with the archons always on the brink of death before saving with warp prism, and as a bonus the caster so nervous for him. i didnt watch live but finally caught up on youtube now its time for soO to surprise everyone even himself.

In terms of form/who I thought would win, soO was favoured. That's ignoring his record of choking of course. At this point he could play almost anyone and I wouldn't favour him.

Just tuned in, any sick game worth checking out later from the semi finals?

Wow, that's like 90% empty seats in the first rows. :o

The crowd is pretty... small.

He should have beaten him 4-1 quite handily though. Zest had the hype but soO was the better player that series.

Yep should have stayed at yesterdays theater

the worst time was the 3rd ( I think?) lost finals where he basically was defeated by his team who didn't let him properly prepare because of proleague

I guess Dark vs Stats game 3. Rest of the games weren't terrible but they were really decisive/fast.

csgo crowd has not arrived yet :/
|

|
So SoO had time to relax but Stats didnt?
|
