Agreed, no need to risk anything by doing something you're not allowed to do. We can wait.

There was no way I was gonna win otherwise. The daybreak game was closer than you might think.

Yep. I really want a Zerg, haven't played one this whole tourney and PvZ is my best MU by far. Like 3x better than my other ones.
I knew it was close, I was just curious as to your thought process.
So you go to lower bracket now? I hope you get to play the maphack guy. That would be great.

Yep lower bracket time
I appreciate this, but there isn't really a chance I can make top 8 here. Too many good pros, the bracket has just been really nice to me. So it's cool if I stream, imma stream my lower bracket matches too for you guys.
Well that is very nice of you. I was also worried if it would cause you connection issues. Wouldn't want you to have lost due to lag or something. You had like 80 viewers for the second game.
Edit: Also, you gotta BELIEEEEVE.

Is the whole qualifier meant to be done today? Sounds like double elim was a big mistake.

How are they filling out the challenger league anyway? If they're taking 32 from this tournament, you'd think they'd be taking anyone who made it past loser round 8, right? Or are they doing another open tournament for that league separately?

No 24 players are invites. Only the top 8 from this tourney get into challenger.

No that's priemier league, not challenger.
I thought Challenger was supposed to start with 32 players, just like code A.
[v] Make more mutas than him
hmmm... what units should I make BEFORE I get the mutas though?
They are going to do another one next week for the CL.
What are you guys watching now?
The same.
I mean, there were some weird exceptions such as island maps where there was air-only access to main bases (these became almost completely defunct very quickly in competitive play or maps where the base is set in the low ground and the expansion is set in the high ground (but there's still a ramp entrance) or maps where everything is on the low ground but there's some feature that keeps players apart at the beginning (e.g. Monty Hall; Flash's game against Bisu is one of the more creative cheese builds that exploits that particular map's idiosyncrasies) and even a few where everything is on the low ground and nothing terribly gimmicky about it (e.g. Tau Cross, site of one of my favorite Jaedong vs Flash games), but by far the standard is maps where the main base is on the high ground, with a single ramp entrance that can be walled off.

Playing the campaign missions, I find spreading creep to be weirdly satisfying.
I've played very little zerg in the past.

Yea it's one of my favorite things about them, but it's really hard to do in actual matches. (at least for me anyways)

I just want to play a Zerg.
My PvZ is so good and I'm not gonna be able to show it T.T

Lings + Banelings!
One of todays games showed the important point that you shouldn't make the switch as soon as your Spire is done as the other player might just add another ling+baneling wave and just run you over.
OHHHHHhhhh... now I get it.

Dude so happy for you. Getting to the top what, 128? before falling to a Pro? Also almost taking a match off him? Crazy good man!
Hope you get a Z and get farther in the tournament.
I agree with this, I'm kinda rooting for Oz though...
Just woke up and realised NA WCS was happening
Watched the vod of EJ vs. Oz...
I was like OH SHIT HE DID IT but then I was like...wait...wait....why isn't he double-walling?
So close, but yeah...I think if you build at least one extra pylon on one side you're guarenteed to get cannons up.
Gl in loser bracket now....imagine a gaffer in WCS.

It's very fun! I really like the mission where you have to spread it to Scourge Nests. There's something very satisfying watching your creep spread across the map, especially with Malignant Creep on.

This tournament really blows so far. WCS NA is basically like an extremely watered down GSL. The tournament had a lot of promise but this blows.
I doubt he has faced all that many cannon rushes. Further he is a pro Korean player, is playing standard really all that more likely to provide a win? Especially if you don't like PvP.

Aww man, I've been really enjoying it. I've never watched any GSL though.

So my next match is vs a high gm toss. But looking closely at his account he plays alot of teamgames with the maphacker that beat catz today.
I'm thinking about just not playing the match. high chance of an actual hacker here...
My PvP is all gimmicks right now, so if hes hacking then there is no chance.
