Yeah I'll be honest I've been watching hokcey with my roommate and I've never actually seen Hydra player. Just going with my (rum-filled) gut on this one. It feels right, man.

You down for nexus wars in a bit?

Haha fair enough. ;-)

I've actually never played nexus wars but I'm out of town atm. Would love to give it a try sometime though! I need to get into SC arcade more.

Blah, pulling apart her roaches was costly.

unknownstranger · (12-01-2013, 05:12 AM)

Same thing that nearly doomed Scarlett vs Dream happened in games 3 and 4 (missed all of game 1 and most of game 2). She's always so slow on her third hatch that mid game pushes nearly kill her every time.

Yea man let's do it. I'll spawn you up to hots nexus wars. Good times. Let me know when you can play.

Biskie · (12-01-2013, 06:11 AM)

Just finish it San so we can get to DRG.

unknownstranger · (12-01-2013, 06:29 AM)

That game was hilariously awful but now I probably won't be able to stay awake for finals.

Biskie · (12-01-2013, 06:38 AM)

I dunno about you guys but I'm making some gat daym hot dogs

Did all the good players go to Dreamhack or something? Both of these round of 8 games have been terrible.

Mostly yeah. But DRG and Mvp are elite.

(watch them both lose now that ive said that)

Biskie · (12-01-2013, 06:50 AM)

Wait what. I stayed up for DRG and they're just skipping that quarterfinal. Okay.

Crimsonlink · (12-01-2013, 07:17 AM)

MVP forgot how to SC2 but then again its TvP and Oracles with MSC.

Biskie · (12-01-2013, 07:34 AM)

DRG is dominating Hack. Too bad it's only on the polish stream.

I learned a new word though! pijany

It means 'drunk' in polish, apparently.

unknownstranger · 08:38 AM

Don't think I've seen someone be so stupidly greedy like Hydra was.

My god Hydra, EVERYONE knows he's going mass Zealot, WHY ARE YOU BUILDING LINGS?!?

calder · (12-01-2013, 08:38 AM)

Heh rough loss for Hydra.

I'm really liking this SC2 all day. We need a tournament in Europe and Asia every weekend. ;)

SamuraiX- · (12-01-2013, 08:42 AM)

Would love for DRG to win this whole thing but since San has the best fucking PvZ on the planet it's looking like San's tournament... unless herO surprises but his PvP is pretty meh from what I remember.

Honestly I'd just rather see anyone besides San taking this. Don't care for that guy at all.

calder · (12-01-2013, 08:44 AM)

Hydra with the quick deny on his hatch. ;)

Biskie · 09:00 AM

I'll be surprised if DRG doesn't win the tournament. He was looking like a beast against Hack. Best I've seen from him since the WoL days.

Though I guess ZvP could be a different story.

calder · (12-01-2013, 08:50 AM)

Love listening to Idra forcing himself to not just call protoss OP in this matchup. Because you know he's thinking it.

SamuraiX- · (12-01-2013, 08:52 AM)

Sora vs Soulkey grand final to decide the WCG 2013 champion: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=724183

unknownstranger · (12-01-2013, 08:52 AM)

I knew Hydra was awful from previous matches but good fucking god HOW DO YOU KEEP DYING TO THE SAME FUCKING BUILD!?!?

San is great at keeping his Immortals alive but Hero would probably destroy him. Haven't really watched DRG at all this tournament to know how he's been playing.

Crimsonlink · (12-01-2013, 09:04 AM)

I seriously hope Blizzard is considering a nerf to the Oracle damage if they really want to keep the speed after IEM ends and before GSL/Proleague starts.

Also with all the Terrans out makes this hard to cheer for anyone. Makes me sad that MKP isn't in this one considering MVP and DRG was here. MKP vs DRG in 2013 would have made 50k viewers easily. ;_;

calder · (12-01-2013, 09:25 AM)

What am i watching holy shit. THEY JUST DON'T DIE

Biskie · (12-01-2013, 09:26 AM)

Caster sounds like he has strep throat.

Maynarde always sounds like that late in a tournament.

I have no idea how Hero pulled that off. O_o

Aaron · (12-01-2013, 09:29 AM)

Mad immortal play by Hero. Felt like he had god mode enabled.

calder · (12-01-2013, 09:30 AM)

herO is so demonstrative, remember that grin from Proleague

Crimsonlink · (12-01-2013, 09:32 AM)

I have to give props to herO. That was MKP style pickup on those immortals. Insane control. Cannot believe how well he did. I would say almost IMBA but DRG didn't have the right stuff to take care of the Immortals so it was his own fault.

unknownstranger · (12-01-2013, 09:34 AM)

Holy shit that misclick.

Aaron · (12-01-2013, 09:34 AM)

The worst misclick of all time. OUCH.

calder · (12-01-2013, 09:34 AM)

DRG looks defeated. He looked sleepy and a bit grumpy before, now he looks just done.

Hazaro · (12-01-2013, 09:35 AM)

Immortal easier than Reaver. SUCH KESPA

unknownstranger · (12-01-2013, 09:50 AM)

I'll be shocked if San beats Hero.

Zen · (12-01-2013, 10:39 AM)

San in the finals? I'm torn on who to cheer for.

Aaron · (12-01-2013, 10:53 AM)

When did San get good? Did Blizzard add the amulet back to the game?

unknownstranger · (12-01-2013, 10:55 AM)

Hero has freaking balls of steel to try to proxy that close. Epic fail by the lack of close pylons.

Dunno, San was in Code S for a while, and I don't mean that weird period where he was constantly dying in 4 minutes and still staying in. He was a top performer for a few seasons, but I can't name a specific timeline.

Crimsonlink · (12-01-2013, 11:46 AM)

We have a new herO lol. Seriously well played by him even though he plays a scummy race.

peakish · (12-01-2013, 11:47 AM)

Woah, an honest to god ceremony by Hero.

GC|Simon · (12-01-2013, 11:47 AM)

Great, great comeback by herO. Being 0-2 back and then winning 4-2? Not bad.

unknownstranger · (12-01-2013, 11:48 AM)

Figured Hero would be able to come back. He's still extremely random with his openers like going 10 gate in his own base.

Hazaro · (12-01-2013, 11:49 AM)

Cool to see HerO being so stoked

SamuraiX- · (12-01-2013, 06:13 PM)

Jeez, herO tore through this tournament. Must've been practicing out of his mind since Proleague ended since he looked lackluster to finish the season.

I always respected him as "the real hero" so it's awesome to see him win his first premier tournament. Congrats!! :-D
