When they were introducing the casters for the various games at the start of MLG all the other casters were being all serious, Day[9] / DjWheat wanted none of that.

He forgot rule #1 of playing vs a Slayers terran, there is always a dropship right behind your base.

Leave stuff at home.

This is a great explanation of the basics for ZvP in flowchart form.

GSL Finals have been insane so far, great games show casing completely unique ZvZ styles.

I don't get how Machine couldn't know that Carmac speaks a excellent english. This guy has a pretty important position in the ESL :igmeou: It's a requirement for his job.
Or it's just a setup and that's not funny :shifty:


Carmac's baby is IEM. Machine didn't make the cut for IEM last year. Not surprising at all.

It's like he don't pay attention to the EU scene. I shouldn't be surprised though ...

Great MLG so far though the Open Bracket is a little bit stupid ><

Barcraft ftw!

Jinro continues to be very meh.

Tyler is doing better then I expected.

Ret continues to be good but get zero air time or recognition.

Slayers continues to show why they churn out amazing terrans.

Crowd is awesome.

I even dragged Grimmjow along for the ride.

Best moment: at the start of the evening, they weren't showing the InControl/Boxer match on the screen. My roommate screamed YEAHHHHH BOXER and everyone stared at him, so he stood up and shouted "What the FUCK? AM I THE ONLY NERD HERE!?" and then everyone went crazy.

Wow...Boxer might have actually had a chance if he hadn't gotten hit with that one seeker missile at the end.

Probably not though. Even if it got into a possible draw situation, Rain had the option to attack, then move his vikings back to repair. Rinse and repeat.
