Live rebroadcast of me being eSports:

One in a GAF shirt.

Also talked to Tasteless, Artosis, Naniwa, Demuslim, 2GD, and The Gunrun. Got a photo with Nestea and IM Coach, but very blurry.

Good day.

Alternate is the best German CS team (TMK)
Epsilon has some very good older players from other games and really put in time learning the game.

It's a shame we couldn't... contain Hoder.

firefall pros is offensive to real pros

that's cool that you were able to get to the finals against a team that's good at other games though

hope you took some PIXXXX

Well...commentate better!

 

[Yoshichan]

... talk about being tired ._. i'm gonna do a long travel with almost no sleep now... all thanks to Corran :_:

Bai guys ♥

 

[TheThunder]

The MVP/Slivko, Vortix/Nova are very good, watch it.

The other two quarterfinals are not very good, don't watch it.

When did they say that the beta would start? This coming week?

 

[AdventureRacing]

I don't know how anyone can be excited for the beta after these battle reports, i feel like i'm being trolled by blizzard. I guess it is exciting to see how things change but i've got no interest in participating.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Obviously the battle reports were played by noobs but overall the changes just don't look good. I like where sc2 is overall, and it seems like hots just morphs the game into a prettier Command and Conquer. Most of the new units feel lazy

This is strange, when they first showed HotS everyone was going batshit insane at the GOOD changes.

I wasn't worried about the quality of the games (even if the only thing worse than them was day 9s embarrasing casting). I just don't like the look of the units or how they affect the matchups.

I, like you, actually really like where SC2 is overall. I don't think we need changes this drastic. It's also funny that you mention command and conquer because that is the first thing i thought of when i saw that shitty goliath lookalike.

I won't pretend to speak for everyone else, maybe most people do like the changes. Personally i hate pretty much everything that has been shown so far.

I also like where the game is at right now, but this make it reignite for alot of people.

 

[TheThunder]

Take out boring units like roaches, colossi, corrupters and void rays. Put in new units that are actually fun and not boring "balance" units for the sake of balance.

Redo the entire protoss race and make it less herp derp 1a death ball into something that can actually be exciting and fun to play/watch.


Check your email blizz, I sent you my payment info for my highly sought after advice and counselling, I'll give you the %50 discount just because 3 Vikings was cool.

 

[Ashhong]

Husky really explained it best in my opinion in his video where he talked about what he played. He complained about the zerg units I think it was, esepcially the one that pulls your unit over. Really lame spell imo.

I thought blizzards ideas were bad but they can get worse.

Deep down in your mind, you know it's true.

Well i was thinking about switching back to zerg .

 

[StayDead]

How to make protoss seem more exciting.

Remove warp ins on pylons and only have it possible to warp in on warp prisms and buff gateway units ever so slightly so they're better early game. Give stalkers a range buff ala dragoons.

introduce unit on its nature as an anti-death ball unit.
give it mass cloak so it fits into the deathball.

Anyone watching this nerchio v violet match? Pretty fucking awesome match and series.

I was until the stream died. Fuck.

Edit - Looks like a twitch.tv problem. No other streams are loading. This sucks.

That was the most intense game i may have ever watched. Anyone who thinks ZvZ can't be exciting make sure you check it out. Damn.

 

[TheThunder]

Stay free twitch...

 

[Haunted]

Awesome win by Nerchio, great fifth game.

I thought my internet was crapping out, but seems like more people had problems. Bad timing.

 

[Haunted]

games 1 + 2: Vortix being outclassed, MVP vs Nerchio finals incoming.

edit: game 3: Vortix got lucky, MVP still got this

game 4: what the fuck is going on, this could go to a game 5?

edit²: looks like MVP's got it now, good.


The 9 games MVP will have played at IEM: 1 TvT, 1 TvP, 7 TvZ

 

[ghst]

non-koreans have caught up artosis?

europeans. they're all european. european patchzergs.

mvp bringing hope and reason back to the galaxy.

 

[Haunted]

Let's go Nerchio.

A chance for him to cement himself as one of the top 3 Europeans.

 

[Pandaman]

man i remember a time when i called stephano and nerchio nobody ladder warriors.

shows what i knew, eh.

Eh, these guys are young, who could've known they'd develop like that.

Also, look at players with a very similar trajectory (online success -> LAN appearances) like Kas or Happy, yet they haven't really managed to make that additional step necessary to join that top tier of European players who manage to regularly defeat Koreans in tournament runs like Stephano, Nerchio, Sase, Naniwa or Thorzain.

 

[Haunted]

Nerchio takes game 1.

Let's just put it this way: ret would've died to that all-in.

 

[Won]

Europe 1

Korea 0

Nerchio is so crazy good these days.

 

[Majine]

Day9 says Near-chio.

-.-

 

[ghst]

day9: "what a huge misstep by mvp" as he remains unsieged to maintain momentum, rolling through nerchio before he can remax on an ideal compostion. gg arrives seconds later.

critical mistake to not seige vs brood lords.

apparently.

"This player really messed up I can't see how he could even win the next engagement, but somehow MIRACULOUSLY he is destroying the other guy and rolling... and GGEEEEEE"

-Day 9

"This player really messed up I can't see how he could even win the next engagement, but somehow MIRACULOUSLY he is destroying the other guy and rolling... and GGEEEEEE"

-Day 9

to day9, each game is an orchestra of premonition with each player planning every action 40 minutes ahead, punctuated by massive blunders that somehow don't even matter.

bc raven please mvp. you know how i love it when you do me like that.

 

[Hazaro]

Home. MVP vs Nerchio time.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Fuck I was gonna stay in bed until 1. Getting up for the finals, and to talk with my bestest friends on GAF

Except for panda cuz he never plays sc2

 

[Majine]

It's time!

 

[TheThunder]

Holy fuck MVP multitasking his opponents out the ass.

I hope his wrists won't suddenly explode any second now.

 

[Haunted]

Fungal + Ultralisks = awesome. Infested Terrans + Ultralisks = clusterfucked AI that makes Ultras completely useless.


A lategame Terran who knows how to use ghosts against Protoss and ravens against Zerg is a scary thing.

 

[ghst]

reminder that mvp battles through gross imbalance and excruciating nerve pain to feed his starving family.

It's either that or a working an office job.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Zerg get baited into the absolute worse ZvT engagements on this map (Metaopolis)

 

[Won]

MVP must have a "spawn medivac with marines at enemy base" button he hits everytime Nerchio attacks.
