I like the Losira vs. SUpernova games

 

[StopMakingSense]

Christ it's like I blinked and there is suddenly 20 hours of pro SC2 to watch. Shit.

 

[unknownstranger]

Missed the first game but damn, flawless game 2 from Snute.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Snute's on a roll.

 

[Hazaro]

Christ it's like I blinked and there is suddenly 20 hours of pro SC2 to watch. Shit.

And there's EVO too ahhhhhh

 

[Aaron]

I've been sitting here bored for hours and no idea Starcraft was on. So when I finally tune in it's pvp....

 

[unknownstranger]

Rain's never gonna proxygate again.

Flash is coming up on GSL!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Missed all the IEM games. Hard for me to get hyped for that one since clearly Rain, PartinG, or herO will take it. lol


Couple of fun matches in Code A tonight:

 

[Aaron]

DreamHack is on early tonight.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Glad Dream was able to recover in Game 3. Getting swept by Hack would've been a travesty. He's gotta at least push this to 5.

edit: welp

dream pls ;_;

 

[Aaron]

On the upside, Flash played like a beast.

 

[SamuraiX-]

PvZ and ZvZ in the Valencia semifinals.

fucking PUKE

not sure how FanTaSy played against Patience but TaeJa completely shit the bed against HyuN.

On the upside, Flash played like a beast.

passed out after Dream vs Hack but that's great to hear

 

[unknownstranger]

Great game 2.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Curious vs TRUE grand final at Valencia has actually been pretty entertaining so far.

Both players being super aggressive with some nice tactical moves in the first two games.

Great game 2.

fuckin LOVE Bridgehead

hope that map sticks around for awhile

 

[unknownstranger]

Game 1 was a little meh but the last 2 were great. Sad this was only a best of 5.

 

[SamuraiX-]

man, I wish all ZvZs would be played like that

huge congrats to Curious on winning his first ever SC2 premier championship

he played one hell of a phenomenal series

particularly impressive considering TRUE made HyuN look like a joke

 

[SamuraiX-]

omg I NEED a gif of that champagne ceremony LOL

 

[unknownstranger]

Awesome Widow Mine placement. Cool to see a Chinese player make it to round of 8.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Disappointed about TY and Snute facing up in the quarters. Was rooting for both of them.

Doesn't matter, I guess, since the grand final is gonna be herO vs PartinG with herO taking it all (apparently PartinG is sick).

 

[unknownstranger]

Wtf at that build by Losira.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Losira continues to boggle the mind.

Looks like the most unstoppable period Zerg on the planet across a stretch in time and then instantly and inexplicably goes full NA the next.

not sure if he's usually a sarcastic person, but I'll be damn impressed if he can avoid getting swept.

 

[calder]

Let's see what snute has here

 

[SamuraiX-]

praise Bridgehead

continues to deliver outstanding games

Snute should've died several times over in that opening set but used the map's terrain to take some great engagements... unfortunately took some pretty piss poor ones as well

 

[SamuraiX-]

gotta say it feels like Snute just threw away Game 2

 

[calder]

Snute set up to do the reverse snute now. Just as Rotti predicted.

 

[calder]

Dammit snute.

TY played pretty well too, other than that first game where he almost let snute win somehow.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Snute pushing TY back from his dead 3rd Hatch up to the doorstep of TY's production was a pretty exciting way to end it though.

 

[calder]

Snute pushing TY back from his dead 3rd Hatch up to the doorstep of TY's production was a pretty exciting way to end it though.

Yep, snute showed a lot of heart for a guy who went out 0-3. Thought he had it there at the end, needed just a dozen more lings or few more mutas.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Logic fails me when I watch Game 1 of TY vs PartinG.

TY was up 10-15 supply and then what feels like a minute passed and PartinG was up by 40 supply with 5 Colossi and 8 High Templar.

WTF???

 

[SamuraiX-]

Just realized Bomber and TaeJa aren't even in the Top 40 of the WCS 2015 standings.

How the mighty have truly fallen.

 

[Syf]

yeah, hardly see them at events anymore

 

[unknownstranger]

Parting using hacks to hide his hidden base.

 

[SamuraiX-]

TY's game sense is fucking atrocious. Disappointing talent at this IEM event.

Hopefully PartinG wins it, I guess.

 

[SamuraiX-]

PartinG getting his shit pushed in.

Classic

Spoiler

ha!

PvP bullshit.

 

[unknownstranger]

Well played series by Classic. Stupid of Parting not to build a Robo when he found the hidden Probe though.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Congrats to Classic.

Normally I have an irrational hate for the guy but I can't even be mad, dude went through the best competition at the tournament to claim the title.

Dark and Dream in the qualifiers
Rain in the group stage
Losira, herO, and PartinG in the playoffs

that shit's pretty insane

[kasane]

Yeah i have been keeping up with flash and hes getting better and better again

 

[vicissitudes]

Just catching up on Proleague, that Flash vs Hero game

Spoiler

Flaaaaaaash

 

[SamuraiX-]

Some pretty hype Code A matches tonight:

don't care for the second match but you know I'll be rooting for Bomber, Cure, and FanTaSy!

been liking Sacsri too since his emergence so that'll be a feelgood set of games

really glad it's starting an hour early, might push myself to stay up to catch all the games live

 

[unknownstranger]

Will probably watch all of the first series depending on how long it goes. Everything else I'll wait for VoD's.

 

[SamuraiX-]

rotti builds being showcased in the GSL

outstanding

 

[unknownstranger]

Didn't know 1 rax openings was still a thing in TvP.

I love when Terran scan their own Widow Mine's to kill Observer's.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Much better second game from Bomber. Looks like he tried to execute the same build he planned for the first game without the shenanigans.

He really leveled First's economy with the WM drops despite what I thought was some excellent reaction time and defense by First.

Didn't know 1 rax openings was still a thing in TvP.

To me, it feels like a death sentence 75% of the time, but the 2-3 Rax openings leaves you with little to no options for aggression in the early game.

I love when Terran scan their own Widow Mine's to kill Observer's.

that was cute

 

[unknownstranger]

First is secretly Rottie in disguise.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Well that was silly.

 

[SamuraiX-]

1 base all in gud unit

to think First actually used to be a respectable Protoss player

really nice patience and decision making from Bomber

 

[unknownstranger]

I hate that build by First. You scout the three rax opening, why try going for a delayed Oracle? Even without the awful control it still wouldn't do much. Should have gone straight into Phoenix's if you open Stargate.
