//: Global Starcraft II League 2013: killing time until HotS

Great to see it back. So much nicer hearing commentary from Tastosis after experiencing the thrilling SPL duo of SNM and Whiplash.

Is the overlay at the top new? At least I don't remember it from before.

Quite a solid Code S lineup this season.

yaaay

edit: oh boy stream quality is still shit


gg no re
 
Everyone should leave the Proleague stream and go to the GSL stream. Man Tastosis is killing it with their casting. Also <3 Artosis for his Bleach reference.

Yea, the difference in casting is truly noticeable. That, and it feels like ages since we've seen GSL, so its great to have it back. It's nice having both leagues going on at once, can watch both at the same time.

DONE.

I like how the subscriber option is only for 540p, lol. It says one time payment, I wonder what it entails.

Edit: Grubby went 0-5 in up and downs, Huk went like 3-2 in the easy group? Played OK.
 
woah ok bear with me here

I didn't know Grubby is in Code A and how did Huk make it back to Code S?

iirc Grubby got an up and down seed but lost and dropped down to code A. I think Huk actually won enough in his group to get into Code S, but I don't remember if he was seeded into up/down or he got there on his own.

Seeded of course. He wasn't in Code A/Korea.
 
The one thing I am not a huge fan of is the On Air notifier.

When capturing it, it came out much slower than it normally shows on the page.
 
Good, Creator is looking strong. I don't like tosses, but there's gotta be some in the next round. Only 5 in this one.
 
My bad, didn't pay attention to the supply since its ZvZ which imo is the most boring match up for the most part next to PvP with the rare good game.

Gotta give props to Symbol for holding out but that match was both times after 10 mins when Life got so ahead. Sniping so many drones and doing damage in the 2nd game like that.

Gonna watch one more Creator game and then go to sleep.
 
Wow, I was going to come and say that Lifes build was fucking terrible, a straight two base speed roach attack, no fucking way thats doing shit, oh look a robo and 4gates, lolol. But Creators response was garbage, his FFs were garbage, just pitiful. No way that Life should've been able to do dick against Creator.

I'm wondering what caused him to misread what Life was doing.

Did Life see something that told him that the rush would work?
Did Creator not see something?

Because that right there looked ridiculously one-sided.
 
I don't know. I don't think Sentry drop is good against an all-in, 2base muta or 2base infestor...


Creator just looks deflated. He could've lifted the infestors in that battle and killed the mutas and potentially won the game. A spore or two wasn't going to kill the phoenixes fast enough.

Edit: Annnnnnd Life accidently throws the game away maybe.

Well, looks like Life decided that he wanted to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory :|

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Losing that many spellcasters should have cost him the game but I forgot about inject larvae. Sloppy game from both sides.
 
That was just plain stupid. Life should not have won the match with losing that many Infestors. I do think that Creator over committed and should have gone for a 3rd where the 4th normally is and contained Life as much as he could since the Overlord was blocking his 3rd. Not enough gateways and resources screwed over Creator along with attacking that ramp. Well I'm done, I'm sure Creator will pass with Life and I hope so too since there are enough Zergs as it is right now.
 
Creator dun goofed with holding back so long when he had the better army while Symbol just kept climbing in infestor count. 10 infestors get on average an IT every two seconds. Way faster than shields regenerate.
 
Not going to be able to check it out till later, but fuck Gom really needs to switch to Twitch (boom boom) asap and give us full 1080p. It's fucking embarrassing the prices they are trying to charge for an EHQ picture that is barely as good as proper 720p. This price model is not sustainable for their future.
