I want to say a few things about the final games.
I never saw a good terran play in real life before (EXCEPT ROB, LOL), so after watching lastshadow's mechanics it made me realize how far I'd have to go and how much I'd have to practice.
The finals themselves, bo5 LS vs SW... I can't describe the intensity of the games with just words, but the whole lan was gathered around the 2 pcs of the finalists. LS takes the first 2 games pretty convincingly with 2 port wraith, then switches to R for some reason and gets P, which Suppy readily demolishes after getting good practice ZvP in the earlier stages.
The last 2 games were an Effort vs Flash comeback. 2 port wraith failed this time around as Suppy went for ultra fast 2 hatch lurker and LS didn't have the time to transition from 2 port and was unable to do enough damage against the incoming forces. Still, he held on long enough (until his main was mined out) and then got simply overrun.
Game 5...LS decides to play standard, Suppy goes 9 pool speed into 2 hatch muta. LS' bunker gets destroyed by a small positioning mistake, and he has to go overboard with turrets to defend against incoming muta. Still, the natural is so delayed that LS can't move out and misses the crucial 3-1 timing. He manages to break out one time before being pushed back by defiler/lurk.
Everyone is watching in disbelief. LS ggs. Suppy takes home the gold, Effort wins his airplane.
GGs.

I had to ban LouDog for being a complete douchebag from sc2gg's Ventrilo server; I'm not surprised he acted this way IRL as well.
Honestly, he's not the kind of person I'd like to have wandering around a community like this. :/
Storr is just totally right on this one (as usual, actually).
|
Please do not base Loudog's actions onto SC2GG the site itself. He's already permanently banned from the site and is no longer with us.
So please
|
Wow what the hell?
This is truly awful I would never have expected something like this to happen at one of these lans...
Makes me glad I wasn't there since I had work. Would have been fun to see lastshadow again tho heh

Not hatting on sc2gg or anything, but i came to tl first. and joined sc2gg several months latter (hell check my join dates lol). I enjoy both communities though

Hating* But yeah, I really wish I woulda went from MN to Chicago to hook up with Lou and take the trip down there. I think we all would've had a much better time if I was down there.

I heard a confrontation recording on the sc2gg ventrilo server between storr and loudog, and i just heard storr's father justly pissed off at those fuckheads. They didn't just show disrespect to people their own age, they showed disrespect to a man at least 20 years their senior (i'm assuming give or take a few years, storr). That gets my blood boiling.
"We gave you, hospitality at our house and i'm pretty pissed that you left someone here. We gave you nice hospitality, and that was not the right thing to do to leave someone here."
Loudogs response: "Hey i didn't drive, it wasn't my idea, i didn't have any control over it."
When storr informs him on his status (banned), he responds: "i'm a banned from a website...i'm heartbroken."
Interesting coming from someone who has, or rather, had a post count of 759 on sc2gg. 758 of those posts were about terran imbalance at high level play. Oh, that reminds me: it is nice to see that even E ranks were allowed to participate. Was it just loudog or were there others? Given i already hated loudog for a while, and violent threats mean very little on a forum, i'm going to save space and just say that it's a good thing i didn't go to this lan.
On the other side i'm sure storr and deja would've enjoyed my company

I'm glad that this issue is resolved Now I guess back on subject, I saw Rob taking video, do you have some? And Nokarot when did you leave, if you've got more pictures it'd be sick
|
I tried to get some but with the lighting it was impossible to get them at the quality I desired without using flash, which of course would have been ultra distracting

Hey everyone. I left before the finals because I had to meet some buddies in Arlington but I was the guy in the blue polo playin sc2. The LAN center was pretty nice and I think it will be great for SC2 tournies in the future. Sucks to hear about the stuff that went on after I left, hopefully that doesn't affect TL being able to use that center again. I watched the Zerg player who beat Slimpower in the semi's (Sorry forget names) and he played really well. Anyways thanks for hosting and will probly see you guys again, hopefully next time all on SC2
|
Yeah def Crunk this was a hardcore bw event but in the future I'll be organizing starcraft 2 stuff (after release) so just be on the lookout, glad you were able to come and had a good time.
btw I'll be uploading the few vids I took later tonight or tomorrow mainly just got footage of LS vs Semih cuz I figured that was gonna be the most intense matchup of the tournament... I took some early footage of games 1 and 2 of the finals but put everything away before the end so I got nothing after... and I never did interviews or anything... Maybe I'll bring the camera to dinner next week and do a joint interview with u and LS (since LS is coming to dinner this week hehe)

We gotta have an SC2 tourney next time!

hey I just got home. safe and sound, if ridiculously tired. so, funny greyhound story to put a crap cherry on top of a shitty last 24 hours. Not only did I get ditched at DC, I got ditched by the greyhound bus at a meal stop. wooooot! the lazy ass driver stopped at midway travel plaza on I-76 near pittsburgh at 12:34 (yea thats how closely I remember this) and said we should be back by 1:00. Well, the travel plaza only had a starbucks open so a few of us went over to the gas station right next door to grab some food. we come out at 12:42 and the god damn bus is gone, stranding 3 of us at this bus station/travel plaza place. The driver didn't do a headcount or even freaking walk up and down the aisle to see that there were 3 seats with bags and no people. the one guy inside the travel plaza said this same driver left people at the same travel plaza like 2 weeks ago. how does he still have a job??
we call the greyhound people and apparently their communication systems are so retardedly outdated they can't transfer us to the pittsburgh terminal, can't transfer us to the DC terminal, can't contact the driver, and can't call anyone on their own. they give us different numbers for the pittsburgh terminals and NOT A SINGLE extension there had a person at the end of it. just 20 rings over and over again. we end up just waiting till 4:00 in the morning and jumped on the next greyhound bus (where the new dumbass driver tried to tell us it was our fault the first bus left without us).
So, finally we get to the pittsburgh greyhound station where we find most of our bags. MOST. The ones that were there were just sitting on the sidewalk, completely untended or whatever. Thankfully, my laptop bag was there (although my laptop now has a brand new shiny dent in the corner of it), but my bag of clothes and toiletries and meds was gone. This other guy's bag of clothes and the engagement ring he just bought for his girlfriend in Atlantic City was missing, too. This guy works for some music/entertainment company in Nashville, and apparently he's going to get his company lawyer to sue greyhound. Yay, looks like I get to have an adventure with the legal system soon.
From what I hear, they were already banned and won't see this and I don't care if I get warned for this or something but...
FUCK YOU SEMIH, LOUDOG, MACK!!
|
Nice to hear you got home in one piece dejavu (eventhough most things went wrong that weekend) atleast you werent alone on the bus so you had people to bitch with, that can be really fucking helpful sometimes.

Lol Jesus. The greatest joy in the world is knowing that kids will always be kids, and that it is a force greater than karma that will fuck them for the rest of their lives (stupidity).

Yep, this is why I stick to meeting up with the people i've gotten to know over the past few months, and only go to LuckyFool's LAN's because he's a baller and knows whats up.
I doub tthey'll warn you or ban you for that, those guys deserve it.

Maybe it was easier for me to see trouble when the organization of this wasn't too hot for months and months prior to this.
