Hope our prize winners Aean, Halstrom and GGFiery are enjoying the HD Stream!

www.sc2rep.com already has most of day1 replays.

Anyway we should have a IEM thread going cause some of the stuff is downright hilarious!! Pics courtesy of the TL thread.

Socke's face after Kelly said that it is surprising that he finished first place.

d.Killer keeping his eye on the prize

Fantastic job you have been doing kelly! Even most of TL agrees

Thanks again!

KILLER IS SUCH A LOLOLBALLER. But poor him. Got a sudden replacement for this IEM and got ROFLMAOSTOMP... he played very badly.

ToRDeathsFang · Thu, 18th-Aug-2011, 8:23 PM

I think he took a game off MC so that automatically means he's a very manly man. But then again he is Zerg so it makes him less-manly.

dennistoo · Thu, 18th-Aug-2011, 9:55 PM

look at the games against HUK i want to ROFLMAO.

50 slupply ahead and NOT engaging? what a joke. Make zerg looks UP.

A failed DT rush yet can't win.

Wooooo Moonglade beats EGhuk 2-1

**nirvAnA** · Thu, 18th-Aug-2011, 10:16 PM

omg MG DEFEATS HUK!!

go GLADE! GO SEA GO SC2SEA!!

Xeen · Thu, 18th-Aug-2011, 10:24 PM

That was one of the worst professional games I've seen -_-

Fierypower · Fri, 19th-Aug-2011, 12:51 AM

Huk seems to be really underperforming at this tournament.

EXCL · Fri, 19th-Aug-2011, 8:47 AM

MG has to go up against MaNa in the quarter finals. GO MG!

Halstrom · Fri, 19th-Aug-2011, 8:56 AM

Wow......what an awesome event so far. Loving the HD pass thanks NirvAnA

If you haven't been watching or reading, after a massive day 2 the brackets look like this:

Quarter Finals

MC vs SeleCT
MaNa vs. mOOnGlaDe
Socke vs. Kas
Nerchio vs. PuMa

Anyone have predictions?

I'm gonna say:

MC 2-1
mOOnGlaDe 2-1
Socke 2-0
PuMa 2-0

mana loves the fast robo into collosi and a quick 2nd expansion for a macro game, and this style might be really strong against glades mass roach / infestor combi. from the reps ive seen vs stephano, you cannot stop him from taking his third with roach/infestor and if you do you just lose

better to macro up and take your 4th base quick while feigning pressure (like how stephano won game 1). maybe tricky roach into mass muta play will work too off of 4 fast bases, since he always has little stalkers to go along with his collosi tech rush at the start. I think another counter to it is ling/roach + a few infestors into broodlord roach. or maybe that infestor / roach / baneling drop play.. not sure tho my zerg is like silver league and im just theory crafting!

my predictions:

MC 2-0
glade 2-1

socke 2-1
puma 2-1

I don't think the games between MG and HuK were bad at all... remembering that this is the first time they have met, plus one of the first games. First game sure they were summing each other up and MG had opportunities but there were still unknowns that may have made him hold back. Either way he was playing solid and in a commanding fashion. Game 3 - the dt rush wasnt failed at all, the DS was cancelled and the TC was used for blink... MG did damage anyway in delaying the expo. There was a solid protoss defence and they were playing cross locations so that game made total sense imo.

my predictions:

MC 2-1
Glade 2-1
Socke 2-0
Nechio 2-1

Not expanding or droning up with total map control, delaying tech to do nothing in the middle of the map (50 drones and getting hive 20 minutes in when unable to pressure?) - yeah, that was bad and pretty ugly ZvP. However, it is fortunate that Huk played equally bad, spending more effort trash-talking and writing EG than playing Starcraft. Game 1 was a battle of who could float more money.

The general response from TL was wondering if random people were smurfing for it and I agree.

What do you mean by this? I didn't see that on TL. So much to read on TL these days.... 213 pages from an OP of 2 days ago.... damn!

I do agree with your other comment tho, I just didnt think it was as terrible as... say.. cheesing.

The LR thread was treating the games as a joke. I don't expect you to sift 213 pages looking for that part of the thread, though, but if you're reaaaaaaaaally bored...

Halstrom · Fri, 19th-Aug-2011, 10:45 AM

Glade definitely improved as the day went on, whereas Huk.......well.....got smashed 1-6

crAzerk · Fri, 19th-Aug-2011, 11:59 AM

Hey rather than having to scroll through the chatbox to see the MG discussion, I thought why not start a thread! Keeps everything organized and people can check out info easier and the chatbox may receive less stress than it's getting now haha.

If you have replay/stream links and comments just leave it here! I'm on my smartphone so it's difficult to retrieve info, I'll update this post when I reach home!

Anyway, Game 3 yday Vs Huk was nailbiting! I only tuned in to catch that - how MG seemed to have the game won then Huk suddenly fights back with that brilliant FF engagement.. Then suddeny out pops a dozen roaches . Then Huk snipes his infestors.. Etcetc
BACK AND FORTH.

And when finally MG made that brilliant final main engagement which he spread his army up oh so perfectly and halved Huk's army.. I was pumpin my fist for him haha.

Go Glade!

The MG v HuK games definitely weren't the best in the world, but oh my god. MG vs Tarson was my favourite series of the night. MG's ZvT is gorgeous (I'm comfortable enough with myself to use that word).

I strongly recommend watching game 2 on Terminus. I had a big cheeky grin on my face the whole time.

mOOnGLaDe's replays are here!

AxSGRiM · Fri, 19th-Aug-2011, 12:08 PM

It was a great game... and I can't believe he rolled over Tarson. MrMouz.Mana will be a tough opponent to face though since his ZvP has improved a lot despite it being his weakest matchup. His training with Stephano really showed in Assembly so I feel that MG wins 2-1.
