My heart nearly exploded.

Naniwa almost fell for the baneling trap.

 

[Deadly]

And you can kind of tell that Artosis gets annoyed by him often.

Don't they dislike eachother?

 

[ksan]

Game 2, so good.

Spoiler

6 pool --> Naniwa defends --> 2base muta + banes --> Imba forcefields negate banes completely --> Snipe hatches --> Naniwa wins

I'm going to have a folder of Naniwa Game 2 videos saved on my computer by the end of this tournament.

Those

Spoiler

panic ffs against the banes were hilarious

 

[Deadman]

Marine king 2-0'd violet.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I don't want to see Naniwa play again, this is just stupid.

 

[ksan]

JP with the amazing post game comment.

 

[Pancakes]

Lolololololololol.

 

[calder]

Nani with a crazy win. Well played, sniping that overlord with the banes bombs.

 

[Tntnnbltn]

I like the idea of passing to someone else for their thoughts on the game, provided that they are knowledgeable and say something insightful.

So basically I don't like special comments from JP and Rob.

Anyone who claims zerg v Naniwa is "just stupid" can't be trusted.


Edit: GIF of the clutch forcefields...

 

[Deadman]

MKP in to winners finals, plays winner of huk vs oz.

Those two spines look like they are going to uproot themselves trying to kill the two stalkers on the high ground.

 

[Dooraven]

All Naniwa has to do is fix his riddiculously greedy early builds.

 

[perryfarrell]

HUK HUK HUK

 

[Pandaman]

All Naniwa has to do is fix his riddiculously greedy early builds.

he only wins the games he wins because he's ridiculously greedy in the early game.

 

[(._.)]

Probably miss he finals because of the oscars :\

 

[Snowman]

So happy Huk's made it to the finals, missed the last mlg he won, so it's been a while since i've watched him do well in a tournament

 

[TheThunder]

My fucked up sleeping schedule made me miss Assembly's final 4 (I thought it was a 3 day event) and everything MLG today.

Not really surprised that people found a work around the MLG pay thing, it was kinda bound to happen, someone posted a restream yesterday in the Cross Assault chat and I was able to watch MVP/Ret but it was in Russian.

6 of the top 8 are koreans and the other 2 live in korean pro houses ? standard I guess. Is Huk back into his beast mode, because until Oz he had by far the easiest bracket run out of anyone.

 

[Pandaman]

well, see you guys tommorow. literally for some of ya. :3

 

[Zzoram]

lol apparently nestea just pulled drones vs naniwa but then had to retreat. that would have been a hilarious way to win

That cost him the game. He only pulled those drones because he wanted to create drama. If he just sent the lings and kept the drones at home, the extra income would've made that a 2-0 victory.

 

[Zzoram]

Anyone who claims Nestea v Naniwa was a "great" series can't be trusted. That was pathetic.

It was fun because it was basically pure trolling. They both trolled each other hard, and even Nestea was laughing at the end when he lost.

Probably miss he finals because of the oscars :\

You're going to watch that snoozefest over MLG Finals?

Check the results when the Oscars are over, the show is always horrible.

[PhoenixDark]

I'm currently #1 in my plat division, ahead by around 40 points or so. Jeez, no promotion? I've been on top for the last two days

 

[Hazaro]

hf guys

 

[Zzoram]

Win more against Diamond players. It takes a lot of games to get bumped up a league nowadays.

 

[Zzoram]

Artosis is by far my favorite caster. His jokes and stories are the most consistently funny, he's quite obviously the highest skilled player among the full time casters, and he's so plugged into the Korean scene and knows gossip, and his voice is good.

Switch to Protoss. You don't know the powah of the dark side.

 

[Zzoram]

I'm hoping SO badly that MKP beats Huk, and then beats DRG or Huk in the finals. That would be so great.

NO! MKP can't become a champion, then he would lose his underdogish charm.

He must remain forever 2nd place. With Sen right behind him.

Kong rule is he can win one off events. This Winter Arena nonsense is the definition of a one off event.

 

[TheThunder]

Anybody knows where the Assembly vods at ?

Is there any good matches in top 4 or should I just skip to the finals ?

 

[Zzoram]

I'd say watch Puma vs Stephano before watching the Polt vs Stephano finals.

You'll get to see the difference in how TvZ can be played.

 

[Deadman]

Also watch stephano vs elfi, that was a good series.

 

[F#A#Oo]

Have any of you taken some time off SC2 and found it hard to get back into playing...and found some way of actually getting back into things...?

 

[AdventureRacing]

Have any of you taken some time off SC2 and found it hard to get back into playing...and found some way of actually getting back into things...?

Yes, yes and no. Haven't played in ages and i don't get much spare time (and a lot of that spare time i'm not around a computer that has the internet/can run SC2). Basically i don't really want to play online unless i can actually put some time into it and play at a decent level.

I would love to go for masters but i think with the amount of time i currently have i would struggle getting anywhere. I've become one of those people who really just watch instead of play lol.

 

[Jokab]

Have any of you taken some time off SC2 and found it hard to get back into playing...and found some way of actually getting back into things...?

If you, like me, watch a lot of professional SC2, tournaments and streams, you'll have no problem figuring out the strategy part. Then it just comes down to mechanics, which you can brush up on in 5-10 quick matches vs the computer. When you have the basics down you'll just have to start playing ladder to get the hang of reading build orders and figuring out what your opponent is doing.

If you don't watch SC2 regularly... then you'll have some problems probably, unless your level is low silver/bronze. The metagame constantly evolves and if you haven't kept up you'll probably get crushed in the beginning from not knowing what works and what doesn't these days.

 

[Trickster]

Have any of you taken some time off SC2 and found it hard to get back into playing...and found some way of actually getting back into things...?

Yes to all.

You get back into the game by playing it and asking around for tips on how to react to different things and when you should do x.

 

[Zzoram]

Have any of you taken some time off SC2 and found it hard to get back into playing...and found some way of actually getting back into things...?

I took lots of time off. I came back and am playing at the same level, maybe even better, because I finally picked a race. Also, I was watching SC2 the entire time I wasn't playing, so I was still learning without playing. My builds are a bit better now so that's helped.

zzoram said he'd be in a teamliquid shirt, so that should help.
splinters italian, so look for some shady mafia types.

everytime i try to remember what you look like i picture just that cut you had across your nose, lol.

 

[WedgeX]

Any one ever had to purchase a new CMOS battery? Hoping that radio shack or best buy will carry them. Finally explains the random problems my computers been having...

 

[Tntnnbltn]

I have 21.5 GB of VODs queued up for download. x_x And that's not even including anything from Assembly.

(I got some of my students into the SC2 tournament scene, but being teenagers they are limited by whatever internet plans their parents have. Whenever there's a big tournament like MLG I download the VODs for them)

 

[Zzoram]

I have a feeling that I'll be one of many in a teamliquid shirt.

I'll be wearing a black shirt with a space invader on it. I could just shout "MCRAE!" at random intervals.

Anyone around Square One or on the way who needs a ride? Girlfriend decided she doesn't need the car so I'll be driving.

Sen cursed to be forever 3rd place because of Day9 :lol

I'll be wearing a suit. Also me and spitz will probably meet you guys at the bar around 3:45. Depends what time we leave my place.

 

[scogoth]

I'll be there around 3:45 wearing normal clothes. Im going to shout MCRAE at random

Haha well I banged my face into a door while working the other night so a have a big bruise in exactly the same spot, so that'll make it easy for ya

I'm seriously expecting random yellings of mcrae

 

[jasonng]

What the fuck is this shit I don't see any pictures of the bar craft yet. Get the fuck on this.
