I'm turning in. Hope Stephano plays better.

Sorry for the sarcastic tone, thought everyone knew the brand.

About the keyboard, do brown switches feel very similar to blue switches? Always wanted brown, but having compared blue and red I prefer the feel from red. Never tried browns.

I know the Zowie board, but it seemed like all my quick searches came up blank and it's listed on the Asian websites.

Nooooooooooo. Check the Mechanical Thread here and on GeekHack/OCN. If you like Reds you'll probably like Browns.

DRG might as well play one-handed. These terran aren't slowing him down.

 

[Zen]

Wolf is a really good solo caster.

 

[Wunder]

"SUP SON" - DRG
Played fucking SICK tonight.

 

[Crimsonlink]

WTF DRG you are gonna get Zerg nerfed lol. Well Stephano will you take out Hack and Innovation 2-0 or lose your spot and fall to Code A?

 

[Haunted]

Go Stephano!

Two ZvTs to advance.

 

[Striek]

What was going on with Innovations tanks there. Unseige as attack comes; unlucky. But then proceed to seige and unseige aka do nothing while attack is happening. Wtf.

 

[Aaron]

He should just copy DRG's builds. They looked unbeatable.

Stephano gets in great position... and forgets how to control units.

 

[Deadman]

Turn on stream

See ultras

Foreigners.

 

[Haunted]

20 mins no rush

Typical game where both players agree to just play their own game and find out who's the better macro player. No rushes, no timing attacks.

Well, Stephano is better, so I guess Hack should now try something else.

 

[nilbog21]

dam, can't believe i'm up early enough to watch the GSL, and stephano is playing !! I thought he was Code S though ?

This is Code S.


Innovation vs Stephano rematch for the last spot in the Ro16. Go Stephano!

 

[Majine]

I dunno man, this is gonna be tough for Stephy. Hope he can go through. Last foreign hope.

 

[Striek]

You can do it Innovation. I believe in you.

 

[Tacitus_]

Woah, Stephano is on fire on this map.

 

[Daante]

Oooh fuuuu , so intense

 

[Striek]

Rubber match.

Gogo Innovation.

Not sold in the US? Up here it's the only keyboard with brown switches I've found with proper NO layout instead of just nordic.

Will do, maybe I can stop being so off topic by saying holy crap that was a quick gg! He even had a supply advantage if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Crimsonlink]

Whoa this is it. Last match and then I can go to sleep!

 

[Haunted]

Wolf is good at building tension when nothing is really happening.

Important when you don't have a partner you can ask which pokemon you are.

 

[Haunted]

17 drones?

oh man

gg

 

[Striek]

Get the fuck out Stephano. "Hes so good because he doesn't give a fuck and doesn't try!11".

Denied bitch.

 

[Tacitus_]

Well, that's what happens when you try to wing it in the GSL. Still, some amazing play from Stephano.

 

[Zen]

He really should have pulled back and sacked his natural if he had combined what he lost in the first wave with his reinforcements he would have killed enough to hold. He was absolutely good enough to advance.

No, no he wasn't. Thats why he didn't.

He had 2 lings, neither of which scouting for a terran move-out. Just blind, terrible play.

His group was FAR from the hardest as well.

 

[Crimsonlink]

Man so close but I'm glad another Terran went up instead of Zerg. Next time Stephano!

Yeah man, it's not like you aren't exhibiting absurd amounts of butthurt and spite over a player that has 20 times your skill or anything.

Terrible play, brah, terrible play!

I sort of wish he got through so we could see your silly man tears flow, and I'm not even a Stephano follower.

Calling it: I think we'e going to see a ZvZ final.

 

[Striek]

Lol?

Thats a nice rant, but he didn't advance, so I think I have the high ground here. Whats your point anyway, that I shouldn't criticise a player just because they're better than me? Reminds me of:

Or any of those other stupid arguments that you can't criticise people unless you could do better. In which case, don't criticise my SC2 reading abilities d00d.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Come on, 'Phano. How do you let Bogus stomp your ass that bad?

So much for stephano last. Wol. Champ theory. Called it.

There's a difference between criticism and what you do, which is frankly infantile. The bit about being 20 times better than you is because I'm sort of scratching my head over where the spite comes from, and I settled on 'maybe jealously'. Quite the contrast between you and his manner in game.

¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Though I guess it's putting the sport in esport so whatever. Enjoy calling someone a bitch over not making it to Ro16 and going to Code A, I guess? I just don't get that level of vitriol.

 

[Deadman]

Clearly stephano had a reason to lose, we just cannot comprehend his genius yet.

 

[Striek]

I just don't get that level of vitriol.

Because you clearly take things too serious and get upset hence your tantrums.

 

[Zen]

Ok there bud, if you think so, no hard feelings on my end. XD

Which stats sooner, Code A or Ro16? He'd probably choose whichever one would let him drink more.

wonder if MC or MKP can have the last hurray before HotS... too bad both MVP and Nestea disappointed

MKP would have to pull out something miraculous considering it's his worst match-up. MC might have a shot though.

It would be amazing if MKP could somehow win, at last, on the final WoL Code S tournament.

 

[GC|Simon]

Couldn't see today's matches due to work - which will probably be the case for the whole season :'(

Too bad that Stephano is out. I really thought that he would be able to advance. Best luck to him, HuK and the other foreigners (are there acutally more?) in Code A. Though it will be be still super hard.

 

[Hazaro]

So... looking back why did no one get hype over Taeja vs Noblesse Game 3 on DayBreak

Poll: Recommend Final Match Game 3?
Yes (74) 99%

That is how TvT should be played. People have stumbled and done stupid shit. But that is one of the penultimate tech and executions done by anyone. Just fucking phenomenal. Go watch it if you haven't already.

3 base Bio -> Contain -> Early air superiority harassment with Cloakshee -> 5 bases -> TANKS -> Extra starports for transition
Taeja probably would win every game if he didn't lose his banshees like a fucking idiot in 95% of his matches.

And Stephano vs Innovation Game 2 showed how scary a Zerg who dictates the pace of a game can be. Very solid play and execution from Stephano. Bogus knew he had to force pace and hit with two great timing attacks and used the minimap smartly (Pathed his army 70% of the way there before Stephano could see since he walked inbetween the overlord and tower sight.)

Not sold in the US? Up here it's the only keyboard with brown switches I've found with proper NO layout instead of just nordic.

I meant as in I couldn't find what model the GSL keyboard was quickly. I mostly watch VODs of GSL and skip between matches so I don't get the promo stuff. I was watching Wolf cast and it gave the link and he said it was Zowie.

Group selection in a half hour. With this stacked S, this will help decide the finals.

No kidding. Everyone that has moved on is playing at a really high level. A lot of great matches and smashings so far.

 

[Wunder]

Just looked at the 16 players:- what a sick lineup. I really can't look at each player and say they will definitely lose. They all have the potential to cause some upsets.

Yeah, it is going to be an awesome GSL.

 

[Keikaku]

Innovation wants a rematch against DRG? Considering how scary DRG looked yesterday, he's either brave or silly. And MKP with the friendship threat!

Oh my!

EDIT: DRG and Bomber in the same group! Sick!

 

[Paches]

DRG vs Bomber. I'll take that.

Edit: And now Life vs Parting. Amazing.

 

[Aaron]

Running away and begging probably isn't going to work.

 

[Vaporak]

Life vs Parting rematch is going to be sick. If DRG can keep up his comeback form him vs Bomber could be amazing as well.

 

[Paches]

Group A:

DRG
Bomber
Taeja
Innovation

Group B:

Squirtle
Symbol
MKP
Soulkey

Group C:

MC
Curious
Gumiho
Losira

Group D:

Life
Parting
BBoongBBoong
Roro

----------------------------------

Group A is going to be a long ass night of Starcraft. Parting also has a really great shot at getting to top 8 since he has 3 zergs.

Predictions!:

Group A

Hardest one to make a guess on.

I'm guessing DRG is a shoe-in if he keeps playing as he did in RO 32.

Its Bomber and Taeja I'm unsure about and Innovation might pull an upset since his TvT is looking great. Bomber is more likely than Taeja to beat DRG unless Taeja gets back his mojo somehow.

I predict that DRG will pass for sure, Bomber or Taeja might go 2nd depending on how the Innovation match goes and vs DRG.

Group B

I think MKP has this but 2nd place could be anyone except possibly Symbol. Then again Squirtle is inconsistent and SoulKey is rather powerful.

Group C

Easiest group out of the 4 groups imho. Still gonna be some tough matches.

MC has this I'm sure. Curios or Gumiho will take 2nd unless Losira upsets.

Group D/Z + 1P

Well Parting shouldn't have trouble moving past this if his PvZ is consistent. Life might or might not pass depending on the Parting rematch and if Roro keeps his word on taking out Life. Don't know much of BB's style to make a statement but I'll keep an open mind about him.
