- Nal_rA > NaDa on U-Boat - IPXZerg > Chojja on Luna
Finals of the day, bo3: - IPXZerg > Nal_rA on Detonation F - Nal_rA > IPXZerg on Into The Darkness II - Nal_rA > IPXZerg on Luna Nal_rA wins 2-1.
This is only day 1 though, more to come. Guess Nal_rA will play in some kind of final tourney at the end of the event, to determine who wins the whole thing.
Someone care to explain how this works exactly? And what it's called, btw? (Mini All-Star League is just a name I made up considering it's a mini version of the Snickers from last year.) Thanks.

All-Star tournament is pretty much what it's called.
How it works: Each group is a mini-tournament in a different city each time. Each mini-tourny is self-contained, there is no outright winner of the whole thing.
Basically, it's just a series of exhibition matches. MBC game needed some kind of filler for the gap between the end of their Starleague and the end of the season. So they created this.
Ongamenet doesn't have this problem, because their Starleague is shorter and they can fit three OSLs in a season (Only two MSLs)
...but the MSL format has changed, so I don't think this will be a problem next year.

Thanks for the precisions. : )

How is the MSL changing next season? Are they getting rid of the losers bracket? Having 3 MSLs a year is a really smart move.. the only way they can hope to compete imo.

I was trying to explain the new MSL format, then it got too long. Made a new post about it.
The new MSL itself is pretty simple... but the qualifying Survivor Tournament is pretty complicated.

I requested some info on this thread http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=37200 and no one gave any answers. I think I'll just post here to see if anyone can help:
1. When does the next MSL start? Who will be the sponsor? Have maps been released? [new question-] How has the format of MSL changed?
2. When does the next Pro league season start? Will Sky continue to sponsor the league?
3. What exactly is the MBC Mini All-Star League?
How it works: Each group is a mini-tournament in a different city each time. Each mini-tourny is self-contained, there is no outright winner of the whole thing.
Are you saying that Nal_rA winning this tournament means he's the absolute winner? He will not be facing the winners of the next tournaments?
How were the players selected, or did they qualify?
What prizes are there for winners?
How many tournaments will there be?
How long will it last?
Will they always use the same maps?

Don't know. Don't now.
3. What exactly is the MBC Mini All-Star League?

Nal_rA is the winner of a four-player tournament. He will not face other winners.
What prizes are there for winners?
How many tournaments will there be?
How long will it last?
Will they always use the same maps?
Prizes: cashmoney.

Fuck Nal_rA seems to be in shape.
|
Nal_ra is teh ceks ^_^, beating savior on luna !
Last time I saw savior on Luna he was obliterating Reach in the most ugly fashion :/
|
Nal_rA is owning up everything.
GGPlay Gorush Oversky IPXZerg Julyzerg Yellow Sasin)Child Stay[HyO] Mumyung Chojja [yes?]
All of the above zergs have fell to Nal_rA the last time they faced him. rA is slowly becoming a Julyzerg of PvZ. There is no zerg in the top 10, 20, and probably even 30 who has managed to beat rA the last time they met him.
I THINK Jju lost to rA too last time they met, but can't remember that clearly as it's been a long time ago. If someone can confirm this, I'll add him to the list.
And has Chojja ever faced Nal_rA? What was the result of their last match?

SOMEONE UPLOAD VODS OF RA VS IPXZERG

I think rA last time faced JJu in ogn semifinal. He won 3-1. I can`t remember anything after that.
Ra did face ChoJJa ( not sure how many times ). I remember he beat him on Guillotine, he was losing that game, and he blocked hydras with zealots, and zeals and cannons owned ChoJJa. Was that game from ogn group of death ( Ra, NaDa, YellOw, ChoJJa )? He almost lost that game.

huh rA>IPX Ra looks in pretty good form

Thanks for pictures, those should be putted in the First Post so people can get attention to it

I love Ra and all but Nada needs wins more - -;; Asians tend to confuse genius with virtuos(e?).
Genius - mental or estetic (but also mental aspect of it) ability
Virtuos - Excelling in craftsmanship or musical ablity requiring great dexterity and technical ability. (world class violinist, guitar player (not in the musician or composer), craftsman)
Hence he is clearly in the virtuos category imo. Sry for being a nitpick, but there really is a crowbar separation there.
|
omg 0-2 in bets
|
no i think they mean genius. you dont become one of the most dominant, if not the most dominant, players in the history of the game by being purely mechanical. at least if he isnt a genius, than pretty much no one is at the game of starcraft.
|
NaDa definitely has dexterity and techincal ability, and that fits him much more than being mentally creative or having good mental strength/good decisions which genius might suggest.
|
Results from today: - TheMarine > Yellow on Luna - GF > Chojja on Into The Darkness II
Finals: - GF > TheMarine on Detonation F - GF > TheMarine on Into The Darkness II GF 2-0 TheMarine
|
Goodfriend got invited for this all star league ? -_- Nada has a gleaming smile now ^_^.
|
Omg I've gotten every bet wrong thus far
|
and again 1/2 didn't expect TheMarine to win yellow...
BIG THX PoP!!!
|
|
Third day:
NaDa > YellOw @ R-Point TheMarine > Reach @ Into The Darkness
NaDa > TheMarine @ Detonation F NaDa > TheMarine @ Into The Darkness II
I think NaDa beat TheMarine 2-0
|
|
hahha I told you TheMarine would beat Reach I told you p
he is so underated,he used to pwn couple of years ago
|

NaDa isn't called the Genius Terran because of handspeed. He earned that name because of his uncanny ability to read his opponents and dictate the flow of the game. In his day, nobody could contend with him because of that and no other progamer has shown that same sort of amazingness. Boxer was also very strategic and very good at reading his opponents, but he was always lacking in dictating the flow of the game (he would either win fast or fight long uphill battles). July is really good at keeping the pressure up and dictating flow through pressure, but he hasn't shown that same reading ability -- he just wins games through pressure and technical play.
With all his recent losses, NaDa has still managed to maintain a 67.1% win average (source: pgr21.com). Even Oov is 67.8% and he has yet to go through a slumping period. July is only at 60.5% wins. Xellos 62.6%. Boxer 61.0%. Yellow 61.6%.

pgr21.com's database is far from being up to date. It was like one year late last time I checked.

Last updated game for nada: february 18th.. 2005
|
I'm gonna guess they call him genius terran because genius in Korean does not translate exactly to genius in English.
|
Nal_rA vs IPXZerg vods please!!
|
i so look forword to see Ra against Boxer in dual and a July vs rA series would be nice too.
|
TheMarine > Reach whoa, themarine impressed me... Yesterday he defeated yellow and today he did the same with reach... btw again 1/2
|
Actually JJU won his last game vs Ra. It was in Gillette Pre-matches, where ra was overrun with mass lings on Mercury. Doubt if it counts though. And when did he win vs July?
|
WTF... The Marine, the original #2!!! Man, that's awesome, I really really thought this guy was dead meat now but he makes me lose liquibet points. Awesome!
He did show a glimmer of resurfacing a few years ago but he got ousted quick. I wonder if he'll make one more OSL...

what the hell? what do you know about how much they're able to read their opponents? being able to read an opponent goes far beyond whats obvious to the spectator. not every read results in a huge change in gameplan, such as oov countering jju's drop in SKT1 vs samsung khan ace match.
perhaps july read pusan perfectly in their recent semifinal series. maybe he chose to pool first every game because he knew pusan was going to either try cheese or fast expo instead of playing straight up.
btw i think july's extra aggressive style requires MORE of an ability to read an opponent. a lot of his builds are somewhat do-or-die, and for a style of play like that, you need to know exactly what your opponent has/is doing to be as successful as he is. did you watch july vs stork in shinhan group stages? he read stork's build and intentions perfectly and raped him with an all-in ling attack.
stop bringing up irrelevant win percentages. nada's win percentage relative to july's has nothing to do with their ability to read opponents.
