They always try to hype up Snute and Swarmhosts, but it always looks like a complete mess to me.

 

[kasane]

Im looking for mech boards here so i can get sigs

Players are pretty happy about signing them

 

[Syf]

Swarm hosts and tempests and recall, thank you hots design team for these wonderful additions to sc

 

[kasane]

I would have accepted swarmhosts if they were like lurkers

 

[Syf]

Yeah, I'd like lurkers much better than this

 

[Wedge7]

What a horrible game with snute and hero. Godamn those long drawn out swarm host games

 

[kasane]

[kasane]

[survivor]

Jaedong why man

 

[Syf]

At least this should be a faster game. Life usually plays crazy aggressive.

 

[BriareosGAF]

You're killing me. If I wasn't crunching to finish my own game I would have flown up with my daughter. Killing me.

 

[kasane]

You're killing me. If I wasn't crunching to finish my own game I would have flown up with my daughter. Killing me.

[Syf]

Holy shit the first terran on stage lol

[kasane]

Lots of cheers for huk

 

[Syf]

I want huk to make it. But bunny's just the only terran in the open bracket so I gotta cheer for him lol

 

[kasane]

Whoa theyre kicking us out

Fuck this shit man

 

[Syf]

Redeye did say on stream that the venue closes at 9 but sc2 has 90 mins extra if needed. Sucks they're kicking out the audience though :/

 

[kasane]

Sigh

Whatever

I hope finals dont go until 9

Since its bo7

Christ

 

[Crimsonlink]

Every time I play SC2 nowadays, Colossus seem to ruin my mood. >.>

LOTV needs to fix them somehow.

But IEM is looking good besides the bad Terran rep in Open Bracket. GO BUNNY!

 

[Syf]

Woo bunny. Sounds like that's it for tonight, they're gonna do the rest tomorrow morning along with the four groups. Gonna be a busy day.

 

[kasane]

Whoa bunny won?

Sucks that they didnt play jaedong live

Also im bitter about them kicking us out

I remember redeye during esl frankfurt where even if the arena was closing he didnt let enyone leave

 

[Syf]

All main stream VODs from day 1 are up

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhCH_nPE4JTqZ4SfVsarYV-Q1CBF0mHzr

Also Zen wants you to know he's reading the thread, even though he can't post lol. He's back on the 5th.

 

[AdventureRacing]

So awesome that bunny got through. A shame he couldn't quite get over hyun at IEM, would have been great to see him somehow get to blizzcon. He'll just have to win IEM and WCS europe now, no problem .

What a horrible game with snute and hero. Godamn those long drawn out swarm host games

Swarm host games are awesome and i just don't get the hate at all. For once PvZ is actually somewhat closer to a BW style of game, lots of little engagements (constant little engagements happening everywhere). Right now is possibly the best the matchup has ever been.

Every time these types of games happen lots of people seem to say how boring they are and how everyone will get tired of it. Yet every time it happens viewership spikes much higher than it would normally. Just look at proleague, it took that super hype GF to just manage to knock off the viewership numbers that super long ZvT got.

 

[Yoshichan]

i dreamt that I saw stork, jaedong, flash and bisu

fuck...

 

[Hazaro]

These Day 2 groups are pretty crazy

 

[kasane]

Swarmhosts
Awesome

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahabababababab what

Everybody there pretty much agreed fuck swarmhosts

Endless free units yo

 

[unknownstranger]

Swarm Hosts are only annoying in ZvZ. In ZvP it should usually end within about 20 minutes when either Zerg overwhelms Protoss with Swarm Hosts or Protoss turtles and builds a deathball that destroys Swarm Hosts. In ZvT Muta/Swarm Host is only viable if Terran harass sucks and Zerg gets a free 4 bases.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Swarmhosts
Awesome

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahabababababab what

Everybody there pretty much agreed fuck swarmhosts

Endless free units yo

Well i mean they consistently bring in the viewers so they're doing something right. I mean i know i'm arguing with the old awesome argument 'lol free units' but to be honest i don't find that all too convincing.

 

[kasane]

ZvT swarmhosts are awesome to play but boring to watch

Even ZvP

Look at those 45 minute games where hero had to do nothing

 

[Syf]

Oh wow, didn't see that Life got placed into group D and Bunny in group A. Flash better be ready.

Rotti is casting the remaining matches from the open bracket, Huk vs Leenock and herO vs Snute. Both winners move on to the group stage. Should be starting any minute: http://www.twitch.tv/esltv_sc2b

Edit: or maybe here, I dunno they keep saying different things lol http://www.twitch.tv/maynarde

Edit2: On now - http://www.twitch.tv/maynarde

 

[kasane]

[Syf]

Leenock beats Huk, moves on to groups. herO vs Snute next up.
