    So i am watching it, while playing D3 :o. It is final 8 now.

    6 terrans, 1 Protoss and 1 zerg left

    Last time I played SC2 WoL Terrans were kicking arse, so with expansion it looks like terrans never quit...

    Quite sad to see MMM still be the only build for Terrans...

    It will be ZVT finals unless MC pulls off something amazing here


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Sorry sorry. I had a brain fart. Yup it's TvZ!

    Protoss like always dead :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    Flash vs Innovation - game 2 , Best TvT I've seen in years.

    Life just beat MC 3-0 , so final will be starting in an hours time if you're interested, Flash vs Life


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Final is not now? God dammit. I am working tomorrow so might not have a chance to stay up :(.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    No, 3rd and 4th place play first. Final is scheduled for 11pm our time, Best of 7.
    And so given that a match can be up to 20-30mins, and the breaks in between games....it could be a few hours worth


    (If you can't stay up, I've a HD pass with access to the VODs, which I can give to you and you can watch them at your leisure ;) )

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭SeantheMan

  • Registered Users Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth

    I just searched google for the "best games of MLG Winter championship 2013" , and on the first link they had some of the games.
    The one I posted above was also the No.1 of the below guy over over http://gosugamers.net/lol/features/3163
    Quoted him below (refers to above linked game)
    Pictures will not do this game justice. A game summary won’t even matter. Forget everything you know about Starcraft 2 TvT, and just watch this game. I’m serious, if you didn’t see this game, stop reading this and just watch it. And if you did, you probably don’t need me to remind you of how incredible it was.

    To relate this to any past Starcraft 2 experiences or games wouldn’t be sufficient, because it was a noticeable step up in all aspects. What that means is that it created a spectator experience that I haven’t yet had in Starcraft 2. Not “nukes are dropping” or “he doesn’t see the Nydus” exciting, just two mechanically crisp players fighting at break-neck speeds trying to out-position and outplay each other on incomprehensible levels. I was speechless for a large portion of the game, and we have Heart of the Swarm’s new mechanics as well as these two incredible players to thank.
