1-1...game is on!

wow, that was a nice victory

Naniwa vs. Flash is the most excited I've been for a SC2 match in a long time.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm supposed to be seeing a play in 45 minutes. I need a 10-15 minute but exciting back and forth here. Anything longer and I have to miss the end of it

*Naniwa hears my psychic plea and sets up for super cheesy cheese.

When you do have time...why is it a cheesy way? Read it in the chat and he even said so...
Guess I am not that much into it to know that lol

Had Flash scouted the proxy robo it would have been a guaranteed loss for Naniwa. Most cheese is called cheese due to the fragile and all-in nature of the build. There's really no way of coming back from placing your expensive tech building next your opponents base if you don't kill him.

(Disclaimer: at this level of play)

Leenock vs Oz first came was totally crazy!

Thnx for the explanation nossid

Naniwa vs. Flash wow!

That Leenock vs. Oz game was crazy!

2nd game crazy as well! Not as much as #1...but still.

Last game was unwatchable. Due to the lag. Seemed like an expensive MS ad for Powerpoint.
Late over here now. So time for bed!

switched over, a lot less lag.

awesome 1st game for moonglade v violet.

Naniwa v Flash: Round two!

Proxy 11/11 rax is probably the most boring cheese to watch, but good choice of strategy from Flash

Man, Taeja just doesn't know what to do against Life.

According to twitter Life just 4-0'd him. And he 3-0'd him in GSL last month. Crazy.

*Also, Scarlett eliminated in Championship Loser's Round 3. Daisy took her out 2-1.

Suppy is still standing though, and just took out Jookto. Plays soO next.

Doh. Scarlett knocked out of group play (first loss to Heart, second to Soo) into round 2 of the LB. Chances of seeing another cast of Scarlett in this competition are now rather low. Ahh, well.

Annnnd... after taking out Hero, knocked out in LR3 by Daisy with an Immortal-Sentry all-in in game 3.

BabyKnight, Suppy and Moonglade are out, so I believe Naniwa is the only foreigner remaining.

New day: *whistle* Leenock v Bomber game 2 was pretty intense.

Life just threw that one hard. He was flawless in the first half of that game, but walking 10 infestors into a marine line doesn't lead to many victories.

Flash always looks so bored after he wins. My favorite was vs Naniwa when he pretty flawlessly held against that 4 gate while never missing a mule call down, then sipped his latte.

Flash pulled a nice one, where it seemed he was about to lose. Nicely done for sure.

I'd hate to be Life right now, throwing away 1.5 games with sloppy control.

This was hilarious.

Also, that second game between Leenock and Bomber earlier was a super fun watch.

I have a feeling that there's a huge psychological element to all these guys playing Flash, also. It's got to be super intimidating.

Leenock/Bomber extended series coming up. While I still and will probably always hate extended series, at least these two played genuinely exciting back and forth games earlier.

Especially the GSL koreans who are somewhat viewed (and they maybe view themselves) as a bunch of b-teamers from BW, they all feel like they have something to prove. Which messes with their heads big time.

Indeed

Life not even looking Flash in the eyes

Now this is the Life I know and expect.

Yeah, Life definitely back in form for the extended series match.

It seems like it would only take the slightest of adjustments for Flash to obliterate what Life has been throwing at him. I'm curious to see if he can change up his game on the fly.

Double.

Uh-oh. ZvZ finals. *sigh*

*So Leenock goes hatch first, extra drone into late pool with no gas. Still loses no drones to early speedling build. WTF.

While watching Leenock's play and micro is a treat I have to also say Infestors make for the least exciting games.

Leenock is a monster. That's basically all there is to it. Game 2: Yes, yes he is a monster.
