Do I REALLY wanna stay up and watch this? Normally I wouldn't even think twice about sleeping but these games are... Well... the group is the best MSL group so... watching live is always > Gom VODs
i despise all the fat jokes of july, they're so superficial and distasteful..and i'm sure if he was playing well recently they'd be almost nonexistant
and MyCube my god don't go kara...you may think 'i should help the guild out' but think about it this way, what do YOU want to do? or do you really want some item from there, the drops arent even good and don't tell me you find it more fun than watching MSL >_< god i'm so glad i stopped playing WoW, that game is such a ridiculous timesink. arenas can't even make up for it

nah
the fat jokes are made lovingly
when he played oov, his supporters made fat jokes [first I believe thread].
when he played Reach, they also made fat jokes.
Come to think of it, for most of his finals, they made fat jokes.

I'm not sure, but my guess would be that losing player = losing strat. Thus they can justify showing first-hand what the losing player did as opposed to showing off how a winning player, well, won.

Gotta go with Nostalgious BIG:

Bio: Nostalgious B.I.G. said to have become famous through links with 2Hac Forsure. Nostalgious is known for his larger-than-life personality and passion for fried pizza doughnuts. He truly is a gifted writer who has the ability to think of an entire song inside his head whilst he's on the move. He once said to a magazine "I wrote the song Re Plz when I was on my way to the shops to buy a hamburger, as I munched into the crispy lettuce, smooth cheese, fried onions, the oh-so-flavoursome meat patty and the ketchup...I heard the beat, the chorus and the verses all in my head...I was in my own world and it excited me." His distinctive deep voice booms throughout most of the tracks on the new album, he has one of the best flows that the rap world has ever seen and as a result, was crowned Rap God of the Year 2005. This win caused shock all throughout the hip hop world, as arch-rival 'MC Carriers' didn't claim victory, as most people were under the impression Carriers was an instant win.
Word from Nostalgious: Peace be to all the world. We haven't got enough loving in this world, think life as a giant sandwich, full of goodness, family is the juicy beef - your main. The lettuce, cheese and sauce are your friends...and the bread is the woman, you've got to make sweet, sweet love to the bread...I mean the woman. Now bite into a sandwich today and feel life flowing through you. I eat sandwiches everyday, and look at me now...I'm a big, big, BIG rap star. Peace out yo.

It's REALLY hard to work out who is better or worse off after that kind of opening. so many SCVs pulled for Nada, chalrenge lost a lot of mining time moving his 4th probe out tho too.
chalrenge with decent ground army as well, moving into nada's front nat.
1/4 carreir dies, 2/4 dies now, no mines so the groudn army is free to do whatever, ti's actually going.... not as badly as one would expect, but chalrenge loses everythign but 2 carriers, nada loses... a good chunk of his forces but comes out on top.
This is so unbelievably gay that I can't watch this, for some reason I can't see the dropdowns on sc2 so I can't get to the streams unless there is a way to navigate there I don't know about. I don't know if it's on GOM but I don't have it at the moment and it's going to take a while to set up. Anyways is there another stream anyone is watching on that I could also?
nada moivng through the middle towards chalrenge's 9 gas expo with tank goli vult, chalrenge stalling with his ground army and carriers, carriers snipe the tanks well, and nada cant shut down chalrenge's expo

Yes, I am.
I used to be able to view sc2 and this problem happened to me once before, it started up about 2 weeks ago so I haven't been able to watch any live sc.
I tried the links in the "Watch Live Starcraft" thread but they don't work anymore (at least for me.)
P ground army comes into nada's 3 gas expo, nada moving his stuff over there from the mid, scv's escape, STORMMM, all tanks are down to storm and carrier fire.
Chalrenge is keeping Nada busy and in base with Carriers. Then he expands, then they center fight and Chalrenge rapes Nada. Now Dropships of 4 gols at 2 expos, simultaneous dual drop. Both of which are stopped but Nada manages to take a base away.
my vote for this is hella chaotic.. I voted for Chalrenge and oov, and Nada and July to advance. Shit doesnt even make sense, not even possible to get all points!

oov with 4 rines, july with 8 lings, scv seesn teh lings running, oov greets lings with 6 rines 2 scv, but ling control kills 1/2 the rines righ taway, oov pulls liek 10 scv to fight it off.
GG form oov for sure! Incredibly aggresive game! JUST GREAT! It's power of Z vs T. Anyway it was also a BIG mistake during that first rine/medic push by ovv.
Losing those first eight rines was killer. It led to the later loss of more rines, which led to oov's inability to pressure AND inability to defend. July only had to make one creep colony - not even a sunken - and he had amazingly large mutalisk numbers really fast.

totally agreed. anyway was it really hard to imagine that you need to PREVENT lings from surrounding your rines and just keep them NEXT TO the cliff/wall/anything?
oov played the early marine vs ling situation right imo. He had to buy time for those scvs or july was going to kill all the marines and force a cancel on the CC which would have been basically auto-gg.
i wonder why the leaders in LB never write a word when the games are played. for example this guy tomash6 and ZBiR never see them writing anything.i mean they r current leaders which means they have opinion on things which may worth something. hey write something down here say something what is yr opinoin on these games
he pylons pretty high up in the right lane, not sure what's prompted him to proxy in that position. It's like straight to the west of where he proxied vs sea.
gateway starts there, drone pushed into that lane, hatchery starts, sees probe trying to delay it.

agreed but speaking of Muta or Drone conrol we have other players like Yarnc or Savior who can do that on his level, but speedlings is his trademark i think. I've never seen any other player who can do that much damage with 6 or 8 lings.

That doesn't take away his micro-awesomeness does it?
WOW, these two are playing a very intense micro game. You really gotta love both players. I think Chalrenge is gonna end up losing though. July's drop usage is... well... very in-form July.
July is showing every Z in the world how to play Monty Hall even starting with no drones. How typically July. I'm glad we didn't end up seeing some sissy homeless July but the fuckn Angry Tushin we should expect.
JULY GO GO GO! YES OMG I'm the happiest man alive! YESSSSS MBC eat your hearts out! greedy bastards, in your face haha MBC will try to beg back to the God of War's feet and ask for forgiveness, they will offer him whatever he wants, and he'll eat all their food and then refuse! But honestly wow Chalrenge, I was not really impressed with his win vs NaDa, but living for so long when I thought he lost ages ago, and the DT work, this is amazing, if he plays this well vs Oov or NaDa at LB finals he'll advance.
Still, July is very strong and still advantaged atm. But Chalrenge is upping his econ and if he can pull out like.. 2 successful attack blocks. Then he could be in a very nice position to win the match.
ht storm the mutas, OLs drop ultra ling, 3 storms on the OL mass, most of the lings do die, but a group fo lings and an ultra manages to get through, 5 island goes down.
chalrnege clearing the lurekr wall outside his right nat with storm and goon fire, july counters with a drop of luerk hydra ultra at chalrenge's center nat and takes it out
Ahhh, finally Chalrenge is running out of steam and he is broke. He has a bajillion archons but... even a million Archons are no match for 5 base Zerg. Good Try sexy, You can still rape Oov after he rapes Nada ftw.

NaDa will win OOv and ravage ChalRenGe then! Hopefully that is..!
i'm pretty impressed that july actually made it out
his games were a wee bit silly, but still
yaay july!
back in action.
maybe MBC will give him a better/newer contract? i mean he has quite a bit on the line in these series. it seems like his performance could directly affect his contract w/ MBC
GG~ gogo July. Chalrenge really showed a lot of fire in that game even if his opening got trounced. Must have killed 50 drones with dt and storm raids.

I guess that's what happens to the team with Byun as your goddamn coach.
love to know what they were saying then. July's final attack was such a swarm-fest. If chalrenge had seen it coming he may have had a good chance vs july's army

i think every single one of his pvts have some sort of reaver build, while most of his pvps have proxies (well it's monty hall mostly, so it makes sense).
and he has some nice style with his pvz, at least from msl prelims that i remember.

I do too, but not 25, maybe 10. You can't blame him though, he probably thought July was weaker considering the drone damage, and if only he could hold that Island expo, the world would have flipped upside down.
His unwillingness to give up while constantly applying whatever form of pressure he could with constant smart micro made the game worth watching, but I'm a Sparkyz fan and I speak with no bias.

As much as I dislike ChalRenGe I don't think its bad that he stayed. On the one hand its never pointless to fight, on the other hand he thought July were weaker and he had a big army too. I don't like his style, but I like how he never gives up!
Awesome games today. Im happy for July, i like both Nada and Oov and one of them has to be eliminated . Chalrenge fought well versus July, what a group.

July was just being safe though. I mean he very nearly cost himself the game by letting all but like 4 drones get killed so once he gained the lead im sure he just wanted to be as cautious with it as possible. tbh I could have seen him losing if he just started working at fighting chalrenge straight up before expanding all over.

While Oov got Goli's out in time, cloaked wraiths do plenty of more SCV damage to Oov. I'd say about 10? 11? total dead scvs. However, Nada's had to lift all the way back to his base.
Haji, Beyonder, Hot_bid, god this thread is more epic than the games -_-. I say next polr is a vote to make haji buy a mic and start shout casting the games!
nada drops his main army on oov's middle exp and fails miderably to do any damage, he's pretty much fucked now as oov is mining 2 bases to his 1 and oov has a huge army in 3 places
July made it, I couldn't be happier even if I tried, the god of War is back! The Emperor is back, and they will face each other in the MSL finals :-) Sure Oov can make it now, why not :-) but Chalrenge played so damn well too, it'll be a nice group finals.
If your stream is ahead and you are not reporting the game, it's not good of you saying just "GG", when people are trying to report the game. It's not fun reading reports when you know the winner..
I hope I see Arbiter rush with Cloaked Zealot bombs. I don't even care how the results go... if Chalrenge is badass enough to use cloaked zealot bombs, I will herald him as the second coming of Kingdom.
oov really has come back this season, his only main losses i recall were in that game vs Child where he went 3-fac tanks and vs savior where his initial defence vs savior's mutas was fucking appalling

That first game in osl qualifiers vs Light.. that he somehow managed to lose : (
chalrnege warping mass numebrs of tages at 11 main, chalrenge now sends in his shit when oov resieges, zeals bombs away, ht 2x storm, and arbiters come.
From reading these reports, it seems like Chalrenge's games seem to follow a pattern: he cheeses early, gets nowhere, ends up way behind and then plays fantastically resourceful the rest of the game to get back into it. Is that a fair assessment?

Halfway. His cheeses aren't really all-in cheeses.
And he doesn't usually end up way behind. A lot of the time he breaks even or even pulls ahead.

it's also funny that you can call ANYONE a fanboy as an insult, you're the biggest most annoying one there is on this site -_-
wow you must've had a fun night, unknown player to you DIDN'T advance, why don't you go throw a party
oov's ground army is there though, and will eventually kill this attack off. 1 arbiter dies. 3 carriers out now, cloak being researched, zeal goon attack sthe addon, and kills it.
Well, good games, and Oov definately winning his two games with typical Oov Power. I honestly think he's back and very strong.
His game vs July was -______-;; But watching July play, I can't blame anyone losing to him today. It wasn't Oov playing bad as much as July hungry, and not for twinkies this time.
Oov is back full power, he was feeding Chalrenge dust bannanas all game long. Good games Chalrenge, amazing really. And July... welcome back GOD OF WAR!

oov is back to his old self... kill him early or you will be run over in 10 min.
Great to see July back in shape. The first game was almost the first july, the one who chocked the whole BW world when he killed, the back then totaly dominating, oov 3-2 on his way to first OSL title..
Nada.. You should have won the first game vs Chalrenge
Chalrenge... I love you. You are the Protoss OGN needs on their team. Just knowing he is on the Sparkyz team makes me happy. Glad he isn't with some BS like KTF or Samsung ~_~

there's a fine line between having fun celebrating your favorite player and being annoying
and that's a line that we chalrenge fans will NEVER CROSS

haha you realize its just a joking arrogant attitude thing right? we're just having fun hyping with the vids and pics and general OMFG WE RULE shit
really it was just me SJM and yubee trying to act like chalrenge
in reality it was a ridiculously tough group, any one of these four players (except maybe nada, who sucked badly today) would've advanced from most other groups

I'm going to sleep with a huge smile on my face, Oov macro monster is back full power, July showed his godly side once again, amazing games, both advanced, PERFECT! too bad about NaDa and Chalrenge, but at least one death group is inevitable in every Starleague, this w one of legendary proportions.

Defend? Is my engrish so bad?
Hot_Bid, reading this sort of fun in live report thread is not funny, you know
Watching these games (or any form of competition for that matter) wouldn't even be half the fun if you didn't care about the players. Hyping a player makes it much more fun to see that player win or lose (depending on whether you love or hate him ^^).
The line between fun and annoying is for me drawn between comments stating how fun it would be for some player to advance and comments stating how much some player deserves to win because "he is better". Those last type of comments are annoying because they state a fact that cannot be tested, especially when they are contradicted by the games. Example: "Nada is better than ChalRenge, he just got unlucky / sucked today / carriers are imba / this map sucks / I hate cheese / etc. etc." Instead try something like this: "I believe Nada! Next game you will get your revenge!".

come on, this was the biggest most fun MSL group ever, and the thread was worth it because everyone was pulring hard for someone
we had some upsets, 5 really nice games, and chalrenge almost making it through the group of death
what more could you ask for other than chlarenge actualry advancing

hero chalrenge... has lost.
but we still believe in you, next time, you will defeat alr your opponents.
Hot_Bid, it was ok, till you edited his qoute and attacked each other. But it was Naruto who started that, afterall... oh god, Ima probably just frustrated that July could lose, after his perfect early game
To those that did not want to read past 45 pages of game updates to know which games are interesting, I recommend very much, the first 3 games especially game 1 (chalrenge vs nada) and game 3 (chalrenge vs july) although game 3 was kinda draggy.
Great reports, pics, vods and everything, even if a few sound like Nada has beaten their favourite players too much... He'll get mr ceremony too, don't worry.

That's the difference between fan and fanboy: a fan believes in the player and sticks by him, whereas a fanboy tries to elevate his favorite by belittling his opponent. I've been more confrontational about this aspect since I started posting, and I appreciate your post for the general perspective
And then there are fan bitches (not to be confused with fans who are girls), or guys/girls who have their legs in the air for their players, who they constantly homage for reasons that are irrelevant to the game, like appearance. I'm not gonna name names, you know who you are.

That's true.
Problem is that the scene is very dynamic, there are always new players emerging who are able to take out ANY old star or players' favorite. And there's often one player who is usually capable of taking out another player easily although that player is considered far better.
It's just too difficult to determine who really is better and who should win this. I've often read the predictions here on TL.net for some matches and often agreed with them, yet the games often turn out completely different.
I for one am no longer underestimating lesser known progamers, because it seems that *anything* can happen. Nal_Ra also stated this indirectly in an interview by saying that many newcomers are very strong. The best thing would be to like all players equally and just hope for GOOD (long, close, action-filled) games, regardless of the result.
Those were nice games. Oh, and after reading some of G.s)NarutO's comments, I only have one thing to say: you are the most annoying piece of shit I've encountered in this site. The reasons for my hate should be obvious to anyone who takes the time to read a couple of his posts. Anyway, GG's!
wow chalrenge did well. i lol'd so hard in the oov nada game when oov's 16 or whatnot tanks walked in nada's main. like wtf where did those shit came from

Not a single reaver nor speed shuttle that game. I mean, if your gonna harass and you have great precision, might want to get some extra speed to keep your shuttles alive? :> (talking about his game vs July)
Also I think A DA would've helped a bit against those drops. mael'ing those clumped overlords would've saved a few of his expoes.

Wrong. (GGplay > Stork last week)(and some random PL-ZvPs as well?)
When Oov flanked Nada I got flashbacks from their game in EVER1@Pelennor where he flanked nadas 15~16 sieged tanks with about 15 of his own(a total of about 30 tanks) from each side
seriously he's out?? awww bummer...oov always seems to beat nada...i cant remember the last time nada beat gorilla terran...looks like oov is really coming into his own again

Nope. He doesn't get any more chances. Gone. Zippo. Nothing. Zilch. Nada.

I cloudn't be happier for July. I hope he wins the damn tournament with no team or sponser. Fucking pathetic how players of his calibre aren't being compensated properly. This is what it has taken to get me to cheer for a Zerg player.
Chalrenge played SO GOOD. I am incredibly impressed with him. His game vs Oov was kinda lame, but the first 2 were incredible. Super star level play.
That proxy in Nada's main, placed with the intent to cancel it. Such genius. He played Nada like a fiddle.
good games all of them ... the first game and second games were art. Nada is out Hopefully we'll get a more balanced distribution of races in the next rounds, TvT's are not really a made-for-TV match up.
