Team 8 continues to disappoint. I don't think they're very good at SC2 either.

[Snowman]

Watching BW is actually kind of fun, I feel like a complete noob all over again!

[Sliver]

Team 8 continues to disappoint. I don't think they're very good at SC2 either.

It's been said by mutliple members that they've been practicing intsensly at SC2, more than other teams. Which would explain their shoddy play in the first PL. They NEED sponsors, and SC2 is where they're at.


But Woongjin and SKT1 are supposedly practicing SC2 like mad men as well.

[PhoenixPause]

SC2 time. Let's see how this goes...

[Hazaro]

I'm excited, even if people are bad I want to see how BW influence carries over.

I hope we get a lot of first person shots and close ups.

Hm. I thought i remembered reading a interview with their coach saying that they weren't practicing as much or something. Oh well.

[TheThunder]

Good thing that Kespa pulled their head out of their asses for a little bit and made those maps tournament editions (no gold, force cross spawn on some maps) rather than the terrible ladder versions.

[Vaporak]

Your thread is late!!

I'll quote myself on how I'm watching it, it gives you the Korean/game sounds and English commentary.

listening here for commentary: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/Sayle and here at the same time for the korean/game sounds. http://www.youtube.com/esportstv

[PhoenixPause]

Jaedong..?

[Vaporak]

Time to find out how good the BW team players have gotten.

[TheThunder]

PvP ?

This should be hilarious

[Corran Horn]

This will be funny lol

[Vaporak]

Oh god the first Kespa SC2 match is PvP. Gee Gee good impression on the BW fans.

[Keikaku]

The coaching strategy section from the TL writeup here says that SC2 is very important in terms of the format of this PL, which should be interesting.

It'll be interesting to see how the active BW pros play SC2. Watching BW again was fun times and I like that Sayle and Pokebunny were throwing bones to newbies like me :)

[Snowman]

I think you're underestimating them a little, if they are in masters on the korean server, I don't think they're going to be hilariously bad, unfortunately :P

[PhoenixPause]

PvP? God dammit, let the flaming commence

[Mindlog]

Oh god the first Kespa SC2 match is PvP. Gee Gee good impression on the BW fans.

Yeah, this could have gone better...

[TheThunder]

I think you're underestimating them a little, if they are in masters on the korean server, I don't think they're going to be hilariously bad, unfortunately :P

They are as good as Artosis ?!!

I'm 'effing hyped now !!

[Hazaro]

Switching to Pokebunny for SC2, see how that works.

[Snowman]

PvP isn't that bad :( Especially if you're a bit of a SC2 noob, it's kind of intense and fairly easy to tell what's going on.

[Sliver]

I actually see Pokebunny in Playhem poker, all the fucking time. I don't know when he actually plays SC2.

[Sliver]

Look how tiny those Nexus bars are...wtf.

[Striek]

First SC2 game is a PvP? :(

[twofold]

4:3

Eurgh.

[Keikaku]

First SC2 game is a PvP? :(

It's gonna be a half map, late game, Carrier+Colossi, War of the Worlds-style game. Shit's gonna be awesome.

Also, Terminator/Sang is channeling Inca!

[PhoenixPause]

DTs lol

[PhoenixPause]

Somewhere, MC is laughing his ass off

[Keikaku]

What the heck . . .

[Striek]

Well that was decent play from Best, but godawful from Sang.

[Mairu]

weird game

[Hazaro]

It wasn't boring and we saw warp prism immortal.
I'm happy.

BRING THE DONG

[PhoenixPause]

The TL reaction is pretty positive for that game. Best's play wasn't bad, but I really don't see that working against anyone more familiar with the game

[daveb234]

I can't comment on the game since I haven't watched SC2 in a while but OGN has the production values down.

[rhfb]

Bah I thought that this started later. Love the time it is on though, I'm not struggling to stay awake!

[TheThunder]

Yes, let's replay and analyze that amazing PvP...

[Vaporak]

That was a much better first match than I was expecting. Would be nice if there was an official english stream that could translate stuff.

[Hazaro]

Soon

[Judderman]

JAEDONG

[Keikaku]

Fuck yeah Jaedong!

[Mairu]

o shit

[Vaporak]

Jaedong playing on the first SC2 day.

[PhoenixPause]

YES

Panda where are you, let us judge the worth of our new potential lord

[Hazaro]

OH SHIT
IT'S THE DONG

THE DONG IS HERE

[TheThunder]

I hope JD shows us why he was sucking at BW for the past months.

[Rulza]

Hell yes jaedong!

[rhfb]

WTB Lan mode :|

[Vaporak]

I hope we are witnessing the birth of a new Zerg Overlord, the swarm needs it.
