Starcraft 2 - MLG Raleigh

[Hraffnir]

So, anyone gonna be watching the Raleigh tournament this weekend? I'm super excited O_O

Predictions anyone?! :P

Edit: Huk has been on such a horrible losing streak lately, it's not even funny. O.O Hope the guy does well this tournament.

Edit 2: Tourney starts in an hour and a half I think.

I want to !!
But my capp restricts me from doing so
Enjoy the streams :'(

Some pretty amazing games this morning, I only managed to watch till half past 4.

[remnant]

I've been watching the blue stream (day[9]+husky >>> tasteless+artosis).

The games I watched were:
SeleCT vs DongRaeGu
Rain vs CoCa
IdrA vs Sjow ( really entertaining game )

I'm 12 hours ahead (in Perth at the moment) so it's kinda hard to watch most of the time. But the faster internet is helpful

I'm hoping that SeleCT, Sheth, CoCa and Sjow do well. Alot of the normal pro's aren't doing that well: Idra, HuK, TLO and Ret...which is quite disappointing especially since Ret won the EU BNet Invitational but is 2-0 down. And, as usual, IdrA can't back his talk with solid games.
I also hope DeMuslim and Tyler can continue to do well.

p.s. Day[9] is number 1

[Hraffnir]

That he is! Really enjoying Husky and Day[9], they make an awesome team. I've had enough of Tastosis from the GSL tournaments. x_x

I was really impressed with Kiwikaki's match against Nada, he literally roflstomped him. Amazing play. Hope to see more great games from him today.

I don't really expect Idra to get too far.

Naniwa's match against Rain was an.. interesting one. XP I still can't believe he let that nuke go off. If he stopped that I'm sure he would've taken the game.

I missed Idra's match against Sjow, will have to wait for the vods to eventually come up, or for HDStarcraft or Husky to cast it.



Looking forward to today! Starting much earlier, should be easier for me. XD

I really enjoyed the final...wish it would've gone on longer. Both played very well Terran FTW

[Hraffnir]

Man, Bomber is such a cocky little guy. O_O

Coca played sooooooooooooo well. He was basically undefeated up till the finals. Meh anyways..

Naniwa posted on his twitter that NA players are very easy, Europeans easy and Koreans are hard. He basically got free wins till the Koreans came in and started showing people how to play. XD

Have to agree with him. They need to start playing against Koreans on the ladder. They'r bloody monsters. X_X

I honestly think Huk needs to back off and take a break. He's been really crap lately.

Idra needs to give up completely lol. Spending some years in Korea and moving back to the US and hasn't really won anything? I'd be super BM too. >.>

Kiwikaki was so awesome. I'm really looking forward to him playing Orlando. Dammit, I also wanna see Destiny in there! :@

[Toxin]

I'm sorry I missed the whole thing.

Was hoping Idra and Huk (isn't he now with clan EG?) would be able to get somewhere but I guess not. The Koreans are rediculously good. It'll be a long time till we start seeing NA or EU peeps taking wins off of them.

[Hraffnir]

Yeah, well Huk and Naniwa still did very well, just disappointing they didn't make it to the top 6. Which was filled with Koreans. :/
Still, well done to them. I just think that Huk needs a little break, he's been travelling and playing tournaments like mad and it's taking a toll on him.

Huk is with clan EG right now yeah. I think it's a great move. TeamLiquid, although they're well known, aren't that amazing. Their acquisition of the Korean Protoss player Hero was great for them though, he's got some interesting play. O_O

I think I'll wait for some casters to do the replays and post up some interesting videos here. Like the one where Naniwa got rush nuked... what the hell. lol
