please australia and korea first! others last.
^ Amazing video. Sadly, with Soulkey as his first opponent and either Bomber or MMA as his reward should he advance to the quarterfinals, I don't see NaNiwa making much noise at all this time around.
Now this sexy beast, on the other hand...
This could be his time if he's been practicing his ZvP and ZvT to death in the past few weeks. What sucks is that two of the three from Jaedong, Mvp and TaeJa will for sure be eliminated before the semifinals. That suuucks.

Public Test Realm Access is Coming Soon
An in-game observer mode for tournaments that includes caster audio like in Dota 2 would be amazing.
Nice! Won't the Global Finals already be under way at that point?
Also, Khaldor roid raging it up in Dota 2:

Yeah the panel is on during the Ro16 unfortunately. Gonna have to run two streams to catch it without missing the action.
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/11523754/starcraft-ii-update-panel-at-blizzcon-2013-11-6-2013
Nice, will probably do that.
Damn, so hyped for Friday... that many amazing matches in 9 hours is gonna be insane. Look forward to seeing the best casters, hosts and observers in the world running the show over there.
Perfect. lol
My last class gets out at 11:50am... hoping to bolt straight home in time to catch the first match.
Wonder if they're gonna go in order from the top of the bracket to the bottom.
Soulkey vs NaNiwa, Bomber vs MMA, TaeJa vs Dear and Jaedong vs Mvp are definitely the four I do not want to miss in the Ro16.
Edit: Actually, here's the schedule:
Bomber vs MMA is the first match!?! Damn, I definitely gotta get home. lol

Darn I'm gonna miss some of the matches. BTW Do you need a Blizzcon Virtual Ticket to watch the stream? I mean they pretty much already made the Prize Pool for SC2: HOTS back from sales already lol.
If I wasn't buying a PS4 I wouldn't mind paying $40 but with the holidays, I might just have to catch the VODs of these finals.

I think you'll be able to watch all of the SC2 matches on Twitch, but you'll need a virtual ticket to watch the other BlizzCon stuff like the panels and contests.
Yeah, MOBAs are more frustrating than SC2 since at least in Starcraft if you lose it's mostly your fault. In Dota 2, you could be having a perfect run, taking down towers and creaming enemies, but if your team messes up, it's all for nothing. It's a much better feeling to be the player who screwed things up for everyone than being the most successful hero on the board, but still losing because your team can't hold the base for five minutes without you.
I told them to ban Riki, but they said he was no problem. That invis dick had 21 kills by the end of the game! Ugh.

May the Schwartz be with you
Time to get my dota2 gear together to wear for blizzcon
Tourny is free but if you want the special features on blizz stream like rewind etc you need to pay.

Thanks guys! Good to know. I would love to get the avatars and special stuff but holding Blizzcon near the launch of 2 game consoles is not a good idea lol.
Wards and dust, bro!
Watched the 2011 GSL Blizzard Cup final between MMA and DRG because I just can't contain my hype.
dat set 7
That's what they thought, but wards are immobile and once Riki hits six he's never in the same place long. If he gets a good start, which he did in this game, dust isn't going to matter because you're already dead. It's one extra major thing to worry about that could have been completely removed, but our captain wasted the ban on warlock, who is food until six and while he stomps through mid with his ult, in the late game his golems are worthless.Wards and dust, bro!
Our team actually won that game, but only because theirs fell apart by the end.
Soo good. Really hoping the two zergs do well this weekend so we can get some nice TvZs. At least we're guaranteed one great one with Jaedong vs Mvp.

Depends what shaoe MVP is in. Hopefully he's back to his best, it would be fucking amazing if he won this thing.

These have been so good. It makes me wish that we had more coverage of this nature to really build narratives out of all throughout the year.

Everything was just too rushed this year. Hopefully with next year there will be a proper schedule in place and it will make room for more stuff like this.
Agree that the buildup to blizzcon has been fantastic. For as much 'game is dead' talk as there has been i'm as happy as ever to be a fan of SC2.
has anyone else watched the korean variety show Genius?
it may have been mentioned in here but i didn't see it! it's all the rage in Ausgaf
season 1 stars Yellow! amongst other korean celebs / professionals with a guest appearance in one episode from

Another Nanniwa hype video I will completely lose it if he makes it past round 1.
The start of the video is eh, it's the middle you want to listen to.

What will be my best bet to watching games on Sunday?
The global finals are only on Friday and Saturday, so are you talking about watching VODs? Twitch usually has them up fast. If not there then I'm sure they'll be up on the WCS portal before long.

Well at least he's streaming SC2 even if a lot of those viewers aren't there for it . Would be cool if destiny actually ever managed to get decent and compete somewhere.
He's showing that you can still get decent stream numbers as well, you just have to be entertaining. Most SC2 players have given up on streaming and when they do stream they don't really commentate or try to make things entertaining. That might be ok for hardcore fans but not everyone else.
Blizzcon starting to get close, feeling hyped already. Shame i'll miss some of it due to night shift but still really hyped.

Alive is underrated and i'm not sure why he gets so much hate. I don't even really like him and i think that. If he missed out it would have just been revival getting his spot anyway, not really a big step up.
Having said that i do think it was unfair to give him that spot the way they did.
Revival's actually cool though.
aLive has no friends and his mother never wanted him.
But seriously, I'm generally just not a fan of aLive. What's been making me rag on him is that because he plays in WCS AM and through dumb luck he was able to make BlizzCon alongside seven legit amazing Terrans that he should never be standing shoulder to shoulder with.
