So the winner of BlizzCon will take the last spot at Red Bull Battle Grounds NYC. There's a 50% chance that it'll be a Terran and 30% chance that it'll be a Protoss, which is good considering the player lineup is really lacking for those races.

Samurai if Zerg wins at Blizzcon I will blame you for that 20%. ;b

Zerg is so fun to play.

Revival vs. NaNiwa Tiebreaker Details

Should be a good match. I think both players are very even in skill at this time, so I could see it going 5 games.

 

[Aaron]

I predict Naniwa losing early but recovering to bring it to the final match, and then blowing it.

 

[Zen]

It was funny to hear him say that he usually doesn't do well if he loses early in a series, when he's basically known as the almost comeback kid.

Map order for the Bo5
1. Polar Night LE
2. Bel'Shir Vestige LE
3. Yeonsu LE
4. Derelict Watcher TE
5. Frost LE

Ugh why is it so early if both players are there?

Fly on, little duck. ;_;

Yeah, these "Road to BlizzCon" writeups from TL have been awesome to read. As if there wasn't enough hype as it is.


Also, I decided to check Stephano's Twitter for some reason.

Naniwa replies that he'd have to 'lower myself to ever set foot in your dirty filthy country first'.

Seriously watch that Episode of Meta. You will not regret it.

EXCLUSIVE: NaNiwa Speaks Ahead of the Most Unlikely Match of 2013

Blizzard: What are your thoughts on the tiebreaker procedure itself?

NaNiwa: I had to fly 25 hours just to play a tiebreaker? If you lose this match then you have to go home another 25 hours and you don’t get anything. I think it would be even better being online on a US server. But it is also good that it’s offline and there are equal conditions so that’s pretty good.

Blizzard: What went through your mind when you saw Oz and soO come up short in the Season 3 Finals, clearing the way for this opportunity you have now?

NaNiwa: Obviously this is still a very lucky chance for me. There were many times when I could’ve been knocked out and not even have gotten this chance. So I am grateful. There are always better things you can do about it but it’s still very nice.

Blizzard: How are you preparing for Revival?

NaNiwa: Zerg players, they always have some of their own things. Some of them are more aggressive. Some of them are more defensive and they all have their own style. It’s really hard to prepare for one Zerg, so I’m just trying to practice with a lot of Zergs so I don’t get surprised by what he’s going to do. I’m mostly practicing on my own stuff which I know I can change when I need to.

Blizzard: You don’t know what’s going to happen after your playoff game, so how did you pack for this trip?

NaNiwa: Like any other event. Lots of clothes and that’s about it (laughs). If I manage to make it to BlizzCon I will go out shopping on one of the days (off). I’m not really thinking about that, though. I just want to play my best and regardless of how it goes, I can accept it.

Here we go!

NaNiwa vs Revival - Best of 5 Tiebreaker - Winner earns the final competitor slot at the WCS Global Finals

 

[Aaron]

Great plan and great execution. Revival needs better strats.

 

[fanboi]

Man pros when doing FF is sogood.gif

 

[Majine]

Beatiful forcefields, Nani. Keep going that way. To Blizzcon.

 

[Daante]

oooh fuuuuu

Naniwa!!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Damn, NaNi...

dem force fields!

Revival really threw that away in Game 2 though. Would be hilarious if he came back to win it 3-2.

 

[Majine]

SVERIGE!

Nani!

 

[Aaron]

Revival pretty much threw that entire series. He had no plans like he was just laddering.

 

[Won]

That was swift. Revival is here for the convention and not for the tournament I assume.

 

[Crimsonlink]

A part of me feels that Blizz wanted extra viewers and payed off Revival... But I don't want to downplay Nani's play which was amazing. Revival played well too. Just that Naniwa played way better.

We have our 16 players.

Gotta get that virtual ticket for Blizzcon.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Gotta admit, NaNi's force fields were incredible sick but Revival helped him so much by reading the games wrong and not putting himself in the best position.

I don't think Soulkey will make those same mistakes but his series against Dear in the Season 3 finals did have quite a few facepalming moments.

Naniwa used Force-fields so well that it passed the event horizon through the looking glass from BS anti Micro mechanic to 'omg such skill'

His block behind the hatch was inspired, but the rest was merely average for a pro protoss.

I do wonder how the burrow buff will change things.

I don't know, from what I've seen lately it feels like a lot of Protoss pros have forgotten how to use force fields effectively.

Again, Revival just kind of threw units away in most cases but NaNiwa capitalized in the most efficient way possible and punished him to the fullest.

I do wonder how the burrow buff will change things.

If Blizzard doesn't tweak the current speed for the buff, burrowed Roaches will move as fast as Zealots (w/o Charge), Immortals and Colossi. It looked sorta broken in the few games that I watched.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Damn it, Rotty!

Such a tease. lol

There's still 23 player invites left to announce.

 

[AdventureRacing]

With that many invites i feel like having qualifiers at all seems a bit silly. Having said that i can't wait for HSC as it always delivers. Rotterdam being awesome as always, he really fits in at HSC.

 

[Corran Horn]

Can't wait to go to blizzcon again. This time we won't have to wait for wc3 in order for sc2 tournament to start

 

[demosthenes]

Ugh. I HATE Fri/Sat tournaments. I get home from business on Friday probably around 7pm. So hopefully I'll be able to catch some matches. Then on Saturday I'm going to video games live in Syracuse that's 2.5 hours away so I'll be missing the finals probably. It's @ 8pm est. UGH UGH UGH. Fri/Sat is DUMB.
