Dream got rocked. Ouch.

I forgot how fun StarCraft II is to watch. Unfortunately I glanced away for a second earlier today, when each side had 60+ army units...and the game instantly ended.

That was a kind of early GG timing but Dream was about to lose 1/3rd of his SCV's and his 3rd while Hydra was safely on 4 bases.

 

[Syf]

That's more like it.

 

[Aaron]

Hydra's play is so crisp.

 

[grandwizard]

Man window mines are such a pain

Didn't SC2 WCS has region lock?, why is full of Koreans?

 

[Syf]

Wasted so many banes on that cc

 

[Syf]

Premier league has region lock, but WCS includes that as well as the Korean GSL and Starleague. Plus any other tournaments throughout the year which Koreans tend to dominate and still award WCS points.

 

[StriKeVillain]

That was hot from Dream. Terran <3

 

[unknownstranger]

Hydra choked that game so hard.

 

[SamuraiX-]

lmfao Hydra

stay chobo tier, chump


Incredible macro by Dream in Game 3.

INno's apprentice has learned well.

If you live in a country + have visa you're allowed to play in that country. Polt and Hydra for example qualified through WCS as they both live in America.

One thing I don't remember from watching StarCraft 2 is the abrupt camera angle changes. Is that a relatively recent thing?

 

[grandwizard]

Game 5, awesome

it's always been a feature but observers rarely use it. I like that this one does

DREAM STOP. TURN AROUND

 

[grandwizard]

Oh man huge mistake! Hydraaaaaaaaaaa

 

[StriKeVillain]

Wow. Hydra played well.

 

[unknownstranger]

Stupid of Dream trying to retreat back to his base when Roaches were in the way. Should have gone for a basetrade at that point.

 

[demosthenes]

Maru copying Polt in shitty opening builds.

 

[Syf]

wtf was that lol

 

[StriKeVillain]

....

 

[Syf]

Not like this Maru.. not like this

 

[demosthenes]

Maru, YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE.

 

[calder]

Kinda rooting for Rogue

Wow so many dead scv's

 

[HellBlazer]

My

Spoiler

sexy

boy Rogue.

 

[unknownstranger]

If Maru reacted a little faster he would have stopped that but still be behind as Rogue had a massive army compared to his and he could place another Nydus outside of his base.

 

[Syf]

what a disaster..

 

[Aaron]

Maru practicing dat LOTV.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

i havent watched sc2 in a long time but i remeber maru being pretty good. wtf happened.

Probably thought LotV was more important.

 

[calder]

Maru practicing dat LOTV.

Lol

 

[demosthenes]

3 mirror matches and just Innovation left for Terran.

FUCK.

 

[unknownstranger]

I don't think I've ever seen a pro do a pure mass Speed Roach all-in before. There's usually Speedlings or Banelings included.

 

[Syf]

3 mirror matches and just Innovation left for Terran.

FUCK.

I mean at least the sole terran is playing like a titan. But yeah, not a great round of 8 as far as the race matchups.

Maru's performance tonight is just shocking to me. He looked downright terrible.

 

[Aaron]

Maru has been at MKP level for the past few months. He hasn't coped well with mech dominance.

 

[calder]

Inno vs Life is going to be sick.

 

[demosthenes]

I'm not a fan of Linking Park but I'm loving the LP quotes getting used by Chobra and others :lol :lol

 

[calder]

Linkin Park references almost as OP as mocking moving on to LotV or HotS on the analyst couch

 

[lazyproblems]

I'm way behind, but the herO vs. FanTaSy matches were fun. Despite being decisive, the following 3 matches were still fun too. The Life vs. Lilbow match-up was particularly brutal though. I knew Lilbow stood little almost no chance, but Life made mincemeat out of him. The gulf in their skills was very apparent.

 

[demosthenes]

Goodnight guys, I'll update the OP this week with a new pic but I won't be able to update live on Friday, I'll be working and driving and seeing the new Bond. But my but will be here for the semis/finals on Saturday!

 

[unknownstranger]

Didn't put my predictions in here but I'm 6-2 picking so far. Missed on Byul and Dream. Still have Innovation-sOs in the finals.

 

[HellBlazer]

Same here, better than all the casters.

I missed on Parting and Maru. Even though I was rooting for Rogue, I didn't actually expect him to make it. <_< Sorry Rogue, I should have had more faith in you!

Parting hasn't been playing well lately and sOs just reverse-all killed KT. Have sOs winning Blizzcon because outside of Rain he has a much easier path than Innovation or anyone else on that side of the bracket. Picked Rogue because of Maru's recent struggles and Rogue slowly getting deeper in big tournaments.

Glad I never bought into the Lilbow hype. Dude is a complete scrub.

So lilbow says he can beat life.. Lol not after the performance we have seen.

 

[potatohead]

I freaking love StarCraft. I'm so bad at it but I love watching it.....

My highest ranking in II was a Platinum league in 2v2 I think but I actually suck at the game

I think I got Gold once in 1v1....

First time I will watch StarCraft I think...... Dota has nothing on StarCraft IMO from competitiveness and skill ceiling... and I've played Dota way more lol.

 

[potatohead]

Also I always want Terran to win because that's all I play and need to blow up those zerg and protoss scrubs

 

[Tekniqs]

Didn't know they were starting ro16 this past weekend lol.
Sucks that maru and dream are already out

 

[potatohead]

Lol Lilbow just got destroyed by Life omg haha.
