Well that was some beautiful tank and marine spread by jjakji. Really onesided game.

 

[Mairu]

FXOKorea got a player in code A!

fixed

 

[slidewinder]

It's crazy that the Terran player had to go to such lengths to secure a game-winning advantage.

 

[Tacitus_]

Awful micro from Jjakji. He could've possibly finished the game with that attack.

 

[Dooraven]

Ugh Terrible helion control. He's well know for his micro but wtf was that

 

[Mairu]

yay jjakji code a

 

[Aaron]

I hope ultimate sucks and had an easy bracket.

 

[MrKnives]

TSL_Ultimate has a real chance of being the most hated person in GSL right now. Can he do it?

 

[Tacitus_]

Boxer owning it up.

 

[hamchan]

Wow, Boxer domination.

 

[bbyybb]

Nicely done from Boxer.

 

[Sumidor]

GO GO BOXER!

 

[farnham]

what about slayers min?

 

[Tacitus_]

Boxer lining them up AND holding his natural.

 

[Mairu]

yay

 

[bbyybb]

Boxer is back in Code A, great to see.

 

[Q8D3vil]

am i the only one who think justintv steam is way better than gom ?

 

[farnham]

all the hardcore boxer haters just got lined up 2 bfh shots

 

[Dooraven]

and considering they're light...

 

[fanboi]

Well HD Gom is better imo... the little I have seen

 

[cdyhybrid]

Boxerrrrrrr <3<3<3

Yeah the stream is better but it desyncs all the time for me.

 

[Aaron]

It can sometimes be flaky, but the quality is great.

 

[hamchan]

Lol @ cut off.

Your turn to FRY!

 

[gunslingerNZ]

Yeah the stream is better but it desyncs all the time for me.

I agree the desync is super annoying. What was their reason for using justinTV instead of the GOM player?

 

[cdyhybrid]

Oh my goodness I'm crying laughing. The qualifiers have been more entertaining than 90% of the regular GSLs.

 

[Mairu]

From http://www.twitch.tv/gomtv

1. Why is there GOMTV on Justin.tv? Will all GSL matches be broadcasted on Justin.tv now?
Usually the Code A preliminaries are not being broadcasted and are held as an offline event. As a treat for the fans Torch, Wolf, Doa and John have decided to stream the event for everyone. The stream is entirely managed by Torch (props to him) and is provided 'as is'. It is not part of the 'official' GOMTV.net streaming service. GSL August and GSTL Season 1 will be broadcasted exclusively via GOMTV.net as usual.

 

[gunslingerNZ]

Oh my goodness I'm crying laughing. The qualifiers have been more entertaining than 90% of the regular GSLs.

I feel the same way. When I saw it was just qualifying games my first reaction was to switch it off but I'm so glad I didn't.

 

[Tacitus_]

I agree the desync is super annoying. What was their reason for using justinTV instead of the GOM player?

They don't normally stream the Code A qualifiers so everything was basically rigged by Torch.


E: Starfox :lol

 

[pieatorium]

Just got home awesome that boxer and DRG made it, any more games left?

 

[hamchan]

Star Fox time hell yeah!!

 

[bbyybb]

That is random, playing some StarFox.

Edit: 9.5k people are still watching StarFox.

I agree with Doa, this is probably the highest StarFox stream ever.

 

[hamchan]

Wolf beating Andross and escaping with 1 hp left was pretty epic.

Too many good players in Code A. DRG got lucky with his match. Inca going to go from Code S Runner-up to Code B. I am not very optimistic about the foreigners' chances in this Code A.

edit: Didn't even notice Boxer v Leenock at first. Boxer's going back to Code B isn't he

Naniwa should have no problems with check, Thorzain I would take over Yugioh too, Tassadar is solid but Fenix can be pretty beast vP when he is on his game, didn't see Sniper play so not sure there.

 

[Q8D3vil]

i expect mkp to lose to hack.
hack is currently 90 wins to 9 loses on the korean ladder.

 

[Pancakes]

Have they said whether or not there will be VODs of theses qualifying matches?

I fell asleep before I could watch Boxer's and DRG's games.

 

[Raelson]

Says there will be vods on Gomtv.net but they're not up yet. : /

Me too, I feel asleep with a laptop beside me in my bed and woke up to Boxer's interview at 4:30 am

 

[StopMakingSense]

Nah he's going to BFH/Marine elevator himself to victory.

 

[Earthstrike]

Sheth decided not to return to code A?

Edit: And will taeja be a random player?

 

[TheThunder]

Boxer and DRG made it ?

fuck yeah

Boxer vs Leenock first round... wtf

I expect both Naniwa and Thorzian to win at least their first games. Fenix is kinda fucked, Tassdar's 6 gate all-ins are ridiculous.

Oh and I hope Inca, anypro and banbans drop to code B. The less one dimensional protosses we have on GSL the better.

needz moar terran amirite?

 

[Q8D3vil]

needz moar terran amirite?

nah, at this point we need a protoss like sage in the gsl.

 

[Earthstrike]

We need a protoss jaedong.

Nestea is leading the way for zergs, but people aren't trying to emulate his (clearly superior) style.

same for terran.
there is a lot of good terran but i don't find anyone of them particularly amazing.
although mvp 6 month's ago was way ahead of everyone else.

 

[TheThunder]

needz moar good players amirite?

let me fix that for ya

 

[Aaron]

We need a protoss jaedong.

Nestea is leading the way for zergs, but people aren't trying to emulate his (clearly superior) style.

Nestea is hard to emulate because he doesn't really follow a set style. He either does something crazy that wins once, or he waits for his opponent to attack, and obliterates him with a counter. That's not really something you can copy and practice in the way players normally practice builds.

Protoss are in a really tough spot right now. They need a hero, and not oGsHero.

same for terran.
there is a lot of good terran but i don't find anyone of them particularly amazing.
although mvp 6 month's ago was way ahead of everyone else.

MVP at MLG looked untouchable. It wasn't that flashy, but it was also unbeatable. I think he's going to be a juggernaut this coming Code S.
