Vs GSL where he's got time to prepare and plan and stuff In his entire career, the only offline weekend tournament he's ever won was WESG last year. That's also the last tournament that Serral dropped an offline "best of" set. ed: Yo if you weren't watching Serral/Inno on the B stream, you're missing some pretty incredible bullshit.  Game is still going. As a reminder, this set does not matter for qualification purposes.

That was painful. Super late game TvZ is No Fun. Edit: Serral is going to lose his streak in a meaningless series. That's kinda sad. Yoshi Wins fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Mar 1, 2019 |

Brings a tear to my eye to finally see skill overcoming imba. Maybe we'll be blessed with no Terran in ro12

Really wish IEM/ESL would get their poo poo together with VOD organization it's really confusing on their twitch channel.

I feel like this IEM might be the most stacked field ever. Like, everybody who's anybody in SC2 is/was in it. Is that true? I mean it's a feast, it's SC2 gluttony, with matches between major tournament champions all over the place, pairings that would be a great finals for a Blizzcon or GSL almost every time you look at a stream. It's giant plates of crab legs, shrimp, prime rib and creme brulee piled up as far as the eye can see! I'm already puking but coming back for more!

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Also put up vods faster I don’t want endless live reruns You know on Twitch you can watch the VOD of a match pretty much right away, right? If you go to the Twitch page for ESL_SC2 and go to the "videos" section/tab, and look under "recent broadcasts", the most recent one that's several hours long contains all the matches from that most recent broadcast, you can scroll through or skip all the filler material or matches you aren't interested in. I'm pretty sure that video is created and posted continually as the broadcast is ongoing, meaning if they are five hours into a ten hour broadcast, you can watch that video from the recent broadcast section even as it is being created and added to: https://www.twitch.tv/esl_sc2/videos

Dark looks to be in the best form I've ever seen him. I was really impressed by the games of Scarlett, Ragnarok and Bunny in this tournament too. Amazing how many giants you had to slay even to make it out of groups in this event. I hope sOo wins also. I have a little more hopes for him than usual, I think he can do better vs. Protoss than Terran in a finals and he seems fine in ZvZ. If he can just do what he's doing and not think or get finals-itis.

Last night when the twitch live stream was going on with the rerun, I couldn’t access a vod of the whole thing. I only had access to a single 18 minute chunk of that days content. The most recent big vod of an entire day was from a couple days earlier.

Order of preference for who I want to win now: 1. SoO - Would love to see him get the monkey off his back. Although maybe it's more of a 600 pound gorilla than a monkey. 2. Hero - Cool, aggressive, old school Protoss 3. Dark - I'm almost afraid of how high his swagger level would go if he won this tournament. 4. Stats - Stats is kinda boring.

Yoshi Wins posted:Order of preference for who I want to win now: My only hope is anyone but Stats because holy poo poo he's so droll. herO has personality and history; soO has a curse to break, and he's already dropped Serral so maybe he'll overcome; Dark hasn't won a Real Tournament in almost three years despite consistently being a top 3 zerg. If soO is the ultimate kong, Dark is the semifinalist zerg. Stats shows relatively little variation in his play, and in his interviews.

You know, it could work if we say he's droll like Ben Stein's character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

If you've been away awhile, I have good news: A lot of people believe this is the best meta ever. There's an excellent mix of macro and cheese, balance is good, and every unit is viable and sees use. SC2 lives!

Fuckin' YEAH soO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH6a1iYQ0GA I guess someone had to win the kong battle! Agreed that I actually think this might be the best meta right now. Certainly for ZvZ anyway. Sadly I do think that the best games were in the earlier rounds and group in this tournament but there were so many great players that there were a lot of those.

One thing I really appreciated about the production values in this IEM: Whenever someone started to win a game, the camera crew were great at getting a reaction shot of the player being owned, muttering to themselves, with an ironic smile etc. More clutch reaction shots like that than I can ever recall seeing. It was great!
