[Mairu]

I hope after MC wins these finals and then another finals July has to give him his golden mouse.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MC

 

[NeoCross]

Still a lot of lols at MC with the thumbs down on the fOu players' faces then breaking their sign.

 

[Chinese Electric Batman]

Juliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

 

[ChronicleX]

MC is boned.

 

[Deadly]

Can anyone explain me this? Holy shit talk about guts/courage/obnoxious/awesome

 

[Morbid Angel]

:O

 

[Majine]

Notice that, guys? It's getting hotter...

BECAUSE JULY IS ABOUT TO HIT.

 

[woober]

MC first to win 2 GSL finals. ( I hope the matches end up insanely close 4-3)

 

[BrassMonkey1010]

I love rooting for the underdog, go July!

Although what the fuck, 7am on a Saturday. I am fucking insane.

 

[IsayFever]

July all the way!

 

[Zen]

Why did they decrease the prize pool this year? Not enough money coming in?

 

[ChronicleX]

I am just glad there is finally a finals without a Terran in it, only took 5 seasons. Go Balance!

 

[woober]

Well, to be fair, even though Terrans made it to the finals, they actually only won once. And it was a TvT. lol

 

[Striek]

I don't have care who wins, I just want exciting matches. I wouldn't be shocked if we see a lot of banelings from July which would be cool.

The TL thread seems to indicate the map pool has been very even for PvZ this season of GSL which is surprising, just hope its cross-spawns on metalopolis.


Only worry is that they're both so aggressive that we wont see any epic macro games.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I'm a fan of July and quite a loyal zerg, but I think MC is gonna destroy him. July makes some horrible decisions at times, I just don't see that working against a supreme protoss player.

 

[IsayFever]

Why did they decrease the prize pool this year? Not enough money coming in?

These are the league tourneys, not the open tourneys like last year. So the prize pool is lower since they have salary from being in Code A / Code S

 

[Chris R]

It needs to go 5 games so Shakurus can get the send off it deserves

 

[Mairu]

4-2 MC

inc

 

[Majine]

It needs to go 5 games so Shakurus can get the send off it deserves

Whaat, they're getting rid of it? Been some epic matches there

Whoever wins, we loose.

 

[Hazaro]

I'm thinking 4-2 as well.
Basically GSL showed a random oGsMC clip where he went Dojo style to challenge fOu by himself.

vs.

 

[Corran Horn]

Wont be able to watch live but cant wait

 

[Veins]

That is probably the greatest thing I have ever seen. I approve of MC becoming a dream killing machine.

 

[jersoc]

I love rooting for the underdog, go July!

Although what the fuck, 7am on a Saturday. I am fucking insane.

then you'd want to root for MC.

July 4-2

 

[Jigsaw]

i never even played starcraft or starcraft 2,but i love watching these pro games,can't wait

 

[SteveO409]

i never even played starcraft or starcraft 2,but i love watching these pro games,can't wait

I haven't played a ladder game of starcraft 2 in months but I still appreciate the competitive matches too

 

[StopMakingSense]

I fucking love July, but think that MC is going to win.

 

[Mairu]

get some sweet stats into that topic

MC's PvZ:

3-3 (50%)

July's ZvP:

8-6 (57%)

MC's 3 PvZ wins are against July, 2 from GSL S3 & 1 from group stage in this season

 

[Slavik81]

That trophy looks rather phallic.

 

[NeoCross]

3-3 (50%)

July's ZvP:

8-6 (57%)

MC's 3 PvZ wins are against July, 2 from GSL S3 & 1 from group stage in this season

And overall MC is 8-2 vs. Z. 3 wins from july, 3 from NesTea and 2 from Fruitdealer. His 2 losses are from Nestea.

 

[bbyybb]

Pretty pumped for the Finals. I am going to MC to win this.

I hope though that it isn't a curb stomping like MC gave to July earlier in the GSL 5.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Only about 3 hours left.

 

[Vaporak]

I wish I could watch this live but I've got soooo much studying to do. Thank god I bought the season ticket though.

 

[(._.)]

All I want is a long series. 4-3 series giving us our moneys worth.

 

[Mindlog]

Shiny new finals thread.

This will be 4-0 unless MC decides to sandbag some matches to avoid some nerfs.

 

[Zzoram]

July's Broodwar background means he's going to open with a 6pool. MC also having a Broodwar background means he's not going to lose to it.

Hopefully MC doesn't 4-0 him.

 

[Mairu]

kpop is up

 

[ultron87]

4-2 MC.

Must stay awake for the whole thing. (I never stay awake for the whole thing).

 

[frostythecat]

anyone know of a good restream?

 

[Chris R]

Want July to win, but don't think he is quite there. Depends on how out of the box he plays.

MC 4-1

edit: did the GomTV GreaseMonkey script ever get updated? I don't want to have to turn my PC back on to watch this The URL the script gives me doesn't open in VLC now though.

 

[Hazaro]

anyone know of a good restream?

GOM has been clamping hard, but I'm sure some will popup today for our friendly mac users

As much as I love my Mac (and linux) platforms, I still miss windows if only for the windows only programs. Otherwise, I would have downloaded the gomplayer a long time ago.

 

[Biff]

Ummm... Is everyone else seeing a music video with a girl singing now?

This is my first live finals ever so I'm wondering if I clicked a wrong button or something :S

Games won't actually start for another hour I believe (?). Music videos, mom interviews, and other pre-show until then.

 

[TheThunder]

BOSS



MC 4-1

 

[ChronicleX]

Ummm... Is everyone else seeing a music video with a girl singing now?

Yup. The stream goes up 30 mins or so before stuff starts (as always) and during them 30 mins, we get random Korean TV. Finals should be starting around now or in an hour (it depends if the koreans clocks changed recently or not).

Yep, you're at the right place. They play kpop.

 

[HolyCheck]

Just woke up!

time for MC to kick arse

(at above, yes kpop always prececeds sc2 )

 

[(._.)]

GOMstreamer isn't working for me. How am I going to watch?

 

[Keikaku]

I love this whole cheesy kung fu parody stuff that Gom is doing
