.Too much whisky last night... so, the VODs.
herO vs Classic was painful... herO on any day of the week is a far superior player, but Classic got in his head through Game 4. herO didn't have a chance in the final game. The coin flip fest that is PvP is too degrading for herO. If he can only work on scouting for proxies/cheeses, he would easily be competing with Zest for the title of best Protoss on the planet. I can't wait to watch MMA wreck the fuck out of Classic today and send his ass back into irrelevancy. Not even thinking about the semifinals? Your clown ass is about to get a rude awakening. MMA. IS. HUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNGRRRRYYY.
Life... da fuq did I say about never making a Swarm Host again? Life opening up with macro/economy focused builds in ZvP is incredible to watch. It looks like he's finally figured it out. Games 1 and 2 were sick displays on how to dominate a patch/expansion Protoss in ZvP. San is fucking terrible. If you look at his history as a progamer, he didn't do shit before HotS. Glad he's gone. git rekt chump LIIIFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
TaeJa vs INno... lawd jesus, anybody denying that TvT is the most legit mirror matchup in the game must still be holding their breath. INno mechin it happen in Game 1. That amazing anti-timing by INno in Game 2. My heart broke with Day9's watching INno lose Game 3 because he forgot how to make Vikings/Thors/Turrets. Game 4 was fun but INno still suffers from his mindset of playing standard. He never even suspected any of TaeJa's doom drops.
TaeJa vs Life in the semifinals... the grand final of DreamHack Winter last year. These two just seem to keep meeting each other. Life ZvP has improved dramatically but let's how far his ZvT has come.
MMA vs Life/TaeJa grand final would be fantastic.

I cheered in my own home because I want Life to win.
Yeah, I would actually prefer MMA to take it all. He wants it more than anyone. If not him then I'd like to see Life take it as well, followed by TaeJa.
He's just so boring. And he's a patch Protoss through and through.

Like 10 min in Classic got dropped, queue 15 min. of fuckery until shit resumes again. Yesterday was the biggest disaster of a big esports event in the last decade when it comes to problems.
Yep. I'm not going to hold my breath. I can't imagine how much they're freaking out. This is impacting the reputation of the tournament.
it's hurting the game. supposed to be a show of sc2 skill instead it just looks like a buggy pos amateur hour game
You probably haven't watched many tournaments the last ten years then. There's been waaaaay worse tournaments. Including MLG (dallas?) a few years back, that was entirely unwatchable if I recall.
This is absolutely frustrating, it's also odd how they just disconnect without like the disconnect timer like what usually happens.

True, but when the company that made the game has by far the most issues running a tournament for the game is nothing short of a tremendous embarrassment.
Thanks for hosting the worst SCII tournament of 2014 blizzard!
Yeah and Blizzcon has always had high viewership and huge crowds
