[StarCraft 2] THIS THREAD IS OVER. POST IN THE NEW ONE PEOPLE!

Invictus

MajOr on the edge of a reverse all-kill.

EDIT: and InControl giving Thorzain all of the shit about being a new EG member.

Frozenzen

Incontrol interviewing thorzain was pretty awesome.

And nice comeback by major, didn't think he had it in him.

Anzekay

Hellions are pretty frustrating units to play against Just watching Major send hellion group after hellion group into Hyun's bases is painful.

Variable

btw I love holding all ins tvt. siege or with scvs or whatever, all feels awesome.

if I see gas I just assume it now, no one plays conservatively with their gas (except me)

Variable

jeez hyun protect your mutas, good god

Frozenzen

These TSL4 portraits make people look really really evil. Especially curious and major so far.

mEEksa

Nice comeback by Major.

JonnyREcco just joined Dignitas. Nice pick-up, he has the talent to be a great foreigner Zerg with some dedicated practice.

redraptor

The portraits drag everything else down, I think skipping them could have been good.

Also now you can only Agree on posts? That is much more useful.

Jibba

Ahahahhahahha he popped his shorts open.

Frozenzen

Hmm, dunno about that redraptor. And the TSL4 race symbols work way better in motion, in the introduction video.

redraptor

Day9 has transformed fully from analytical caster to guy who makes noises you would make on a roller coaster.

Kambing

Curious. What does this say?

저그전장기전은 아직 어캐해야할지몰겟넹 'ㅅ'

Google says:

I still eokaehaeyahaljimolgetneng zerg long war 'ㅅ'

I'm not familiar with the eokaehaeyahaljimolgetneng.

Lilnoobs

when I copy paste that and put it in a translator, i get this

I have long-term war before the terminally ill person, who still Henin Armageddon: "I didn't know" Farrah Fawcett

of course i just assumed it was korean

i hope this clarifies the matter

Comcast is such shit. I can't answer the phone without killing the internet and phone in the whole house.

Frozenzen

I feel bad for naniwa, probably getting knocked out of the WCS qualifiers by sortof as well. I don't understand how he can have such success in code S, almost beating DRG. And then play this badly.

itsweb

Major is so sick

crucialityfactor

I think it's something along the lines of "I still don't know how to directly get to zerg long war" ???

So I guess something about being frustrated about not knowing how to get to zerg late game, or how to deal with it?

Good point. What the fuck kind of broadband behaves like 56k?

Different formats. He's probably more comfortable when he has time to prepare for a single matchup instead of the gauntlet of a more standard bracket.

Frozenzen

It certainly seems that way. But he played terrible until the first attack, which lost him the game in this case, and then stretched the game out for a really long time due to suddenly playing like he usually does. Ah well, can at least hope for a thorzain win at least.

Biosys

hooray for recco joining dignitas

hopefully that'll get the dude to more tourneys

Lilnoobs

see those win%s posted on ret?

sometimes I feel the casters overly favor (bad) players and get them (good) rep

shwaip

this PvZ is ZzZ. I predict ret loses because he turned too many of his corrupters into BLs.

Frozenzen

Oh carriers, lovely how useless they are unless they catch the zerg by surprise.

Saaruto

I can't wait until Chill and Apollo start casting TSL4.

EDIT: Really nice timing attack by Squirtle there, extremely one sided engagement
EDIT2: Oh jesus Squirtle just got manhandled by Ret

Euphemon

This Bo3 between Thorzain and SortOf series is goddamn bananas. So many intense games that went down to the fucking wire.

Jibba

>.>

That loss was so, so familiar by Ret. Big economic lead -> massive overlord losses during moderately dangerous push -> no more larva.

grubby explaining why to not go for an all in in a final set, awesome and funny

"you want to give yourself a chance to be impressed by your own genius"

i'd say that it's more that you want to force a long game and hope your opponent makes more mistakes than you.

if you're gonna cheese, cheese early in a series.

Euphemon

SortOf made this insanely close. Both series were fucking tense. SortOf is seriously king of engaging in ZvT. Perfect engagements almost every time. Holy crap.

Frozenzen

Sortof is pretty damn good at ZvP too, taking out Sase and Nani is not a small feat.

Euphemon

Looooose my miiiiiiiiiiiiiind~

God, huge deja vu. Thorzain winning a super tense series, coming out onto that circular stage with incontrol and collapsing onto the chair.

Dhalphir

when will VODs be up? the live report thread says "after the broadcast" but that is now and they are not here.

Cantido

I'm gonna miss the Thor unit. Terran will always be OP, but they will never be as manly without Thor.

Dhalphir

Thors are still in the game. Unchanged.

Euphemon

Twitch vods of Swedish finals are up: http://www.twitch.tv/dreamhacktv/b/326537522

Thorzain vs SortOf starts 10:22:40 or so. There's another video after this.

Variable

squirtle vs. taeja, commentated by I think TLO and someone else

http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/ESV TV

edit - oh it's orb

Saaruto

Squirtle said in his TSL4 interview that he was worried about playing Taeja, and that at their current levels he would probably lose. Then he proceeds to get stomped by Taeja in the ESV tourney...

Variable

I forgot tsl is over several weeks derrrrrrrrr

edit - I gotta start streaming again. I got super bummed when my vods were all choppy but whatever, I've been having fun games lately I think they'd be enjoyable even if you can only watch them live.
