yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

good luck against sting though that's gonna be tough [

 

[Aaron]

Grubby played like a total boss in those last three games. Especially the long game where he was constantly harassing everywhere, and still managed to hold against the zerg's big push.

 

[Striek]

Slivko will be kicking himself. Especially for game 4. How to lose a won game 101.

 

[Striek]

The IEM final starting nao. Be there of be lamez

 

[Hazaro]

'where terran'
'in final'

 

[Zzoram]

This is Grubby's first Finals and if he wins, his first Title. Unlike most big name players, Grubby has very steadily been improving since he first started playing. The last few tournaments he's gone deeper than he ever used to.

I hope he wins.

 

[Zzoram]

Grubby 2-2 Sting

IEM Singapore Finals

Both going for their first Title





Sting wins

 

[Aaron]

Unlike Taeja, Grubby knows how to put on a finals.

 

[Yoshichan]

Wow, Grubby suddenly becoming really good? Any way I can watch these vods?

 

[Striek]

Geegeegee.

Grubby channeling his inner MC and failing in the 5th.

 

[Daante]

Grubby will be back.
This is a great SC2 accomplishment for him, coming second in IEM.

i cannot remember a game in recent sc2 history where a single proxy gate worked in a pvt without a fast core for stalkers, even then, it's been the best part of a year.

really weird decision to bet the tournament on. would've been better off just trying some proxy stargate shenanigans if you think he's going to rush for tech.

 

[AdventureRacing]

On the ladder i've been doing a stupid tactic that involves a proxy gate which has netted me a few wins. I do the romanion 4 probe rush and during my harassment i proxy a gate or 2 in their base (it's cool when you can put the pylon on the low ground, obviously 2 player maps only). Then i pull all my probes after some zealots are out (or not depending on the situation). Sometimes i like to change it up with a cannon rush as well.

It's just not a very good strategy. Proxy stargate can still actually work because no one is expecting it and can actually be strong for that reason.

Honestly the last proxy gate i remember working against terran was from MC a looooooong time ago.

I'm pissed I missed Grubby come back in the semis and then put on an awesome Grand Final. I was so damn tired last night :/

Holden, what are you game graphics settings when you stream?

 

[Holden]

low all the time

 

[Tashi]

low all the time

Ok, I have to try that. I'd like to stream my matches but the framerate really chugs in game.

Thanks!

dont think it depends much on the game settings

more on what resolution / cpu u have / your internet

Well I would think my settings would do the job. I'm playing at 1680x1050 (stream output is 720p)/ CPU is the Sandy Bridge i5 OC'd to 4.3 and my internet is top notch Verizon FiOs.

I'm going to try low settings today and see how that goes.

 

[Yoshichan]

So you'll never stream anymore Holden ?

 

[Holden]

lag is seriously annoying;

i dunno why its making me lag

He's been steadily improving. Nice to see.

 

[Corran Horn]

Major leaves ROOT in order to have chance to join KeSPA team..

 

[PhoenixDark]

lol

Even if he got on a Kespa team he'd just fuck it up after a few months. Or the team would get good so fast that he'd become irrelevant and they'd drop him

 

[Corran Horn]

I understand the dream of being on a KeSPA team...but that will suck so much when you can only do MLG as a foreign tournament.

 

[Mairu]

Why would he care when he doesn't really enter that many foreign tournaments anyways?

He probably left because of this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=383399

Sucks that ROOT lost their best player, and America lost their only good Terran though!

If you're using XSplit, then your specs aren't amazing for what you're trying to do. Not to mention that XSplits DX injection is pretty shit most of the time and you're better off running in fullscreen windowed capturing the whole desktop.

I'm expecting an awesome production - GOM/GSL crew is going to be behind most of it from what I remember. Can't wait for Vegas this weekend!
