Hey guys, Slasher from Live On Three (live eSports/pro gaming talk show w/ djWHEAT and SirScoots, http://www.djWHEAT.blip.tv) here once again, I'll be providing info and updates for this weekend's EG MSI Masters Cup Series IV. The last Masters Cup went so well they decided to run another, this time partnering up with G4TV.com who will be rebroadcasting the event all weekend long. Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham and Sean "Day9" Plott are your casters while Scot "SirScoots" Smith is behind the production.

16 players remain from the 512-man bracket, including iNcontroL, PainUser, qxc, Machine, SLush, Agh and Swedish player SjoW. All matches will be played in a single-elimination, best-of-5 format. The winner of the tournament will win $1,000, and face off against IdrA for a chance to win a MSI GT660 Notebook.

[Corran Horn]

Niceeee.

 

[Pandaman]

Cool i was just trying to make a thread, this one is much better.

Incontrol fighting !

i just copy and pasted slasher, he's our worker.

also you misspelled machine!

 

[syllogism]

Machine vs Incontrol finals would be epic

 

[Zen]

Bah, no TLO.

 

[Slasher]

The stream is now LIVE! There is some audio syncing issues, letting them know asap

 

[Aaron]

Constantly listening to the Tasteless song while I wait.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Whoo it's starting!

 

[Deadman]

Pretty sweet quality, well done to the production team.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

I love SLush's counterscout mindgames

 

[Pandaman]

starcraft and midway work well together.

 

[Ozorov]

awesome!!!!!!

 

[Zen]

SLush you kept leaving out your broodlords and attacking too early!

 

[Corran Horn]

Thought slush would have had that after holding off that mid push but then he sacrificed too much in an attack.

 

[Neckbeard]

This schedule is pretty tight? Are they livecasting, or casting replays?

 

[Pandaman]

slush on sands :O

gotta pressure. its the buzarro world map.

looks live to me, no replay bar.

 

[Slasher]

This schedule is pretty tight? Are they livecasting, or casting replays?

schedule has more wiggle room than set times; all matches are live, no replays

 

[Pandaman]

that greenscreen through me off with the night setting before i looked at their hair and noticed it. :lol

 

[Corran Horn]

<3 these all day long Tournaments like this one and MLG.

 

[Morbid Angel]

6 pool hell yeah!

 

[K.Sabot]

6 pool hell yeah!

6 pool > 2 rax

 

[Slavik81]

[Pandaman]

[Xyphie]

[Spl1nter]

[Pandaman]

wow machine. just amazing.

dat hydra metagame.

[Deadman]

Shooting the statues instead of move command happens quite often, but rarely does it go as bad as that :lol

 

[Pandaman]

Shooting the statues instead of move command happens quite often, but rarely does it go as bad as that :lol

some of his sentries even went up to the tower :\

he's also picking alot of macro maps, i like the guy. [but its for money, so pick steppes/delta/jungle already]

 

[Morbid Angel]

Wow, a hydra drop. :O

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Zerg dominance continues

 

[Spl1nter]

[watervengeance]

Machine makes it look so easy.

 

[Pandaman]

[-Pyromaniac-]

[Felix Lighter]

Interesting choice to cast the games from a Star Trek set.

 

[V_Arnold]

They should stop with the weird zoom-in after the end of EVERY SINGLE GAME.
Or at least zoom out when you are in the menu....

 

[Corran Horn]

Europe ruining tournaments!

 

[Slasher]

Taking a half hour break to eat, stream starts again at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST

 

[Slasher]

As a side note, for those of you who are Quake Live fans, I will personally be live casting a match between legends ZeRo4 and dkt as the kick-off match to the new ESL USA season. The action starts in one hour at 9 PM EST/6 PM PST (while EG MC is still going on) at http://quake-live.tv/live.php

 

[HolyCheck]

Just woke up and have to go to the shops for an hour or so afraid i'll probably miss the whole thing.. some one tell the players to stage an epic 2 hour game for me.

 

[Hazaro]

No GSL for a bit so sleep can return to normal :lol

 

[Pandaman]

[Hazaro]

[Hazaro]

Beautiful game 1.
Really impressed with Slush's infestor control.

that was pretty crazy.
they just kept crippling each other until painuser was forced to rely on his fortresses.
