Holy crap. Nada vs TLO showmatch!

[Wankey]

I thought he had to disconnect because of Kespa? Rather than a software disconnect?

I was responding to MajinX's post, I haven't watched the games yet.

Was there a Battle.net disconnect? Or was it "Nada must leave or will be fined $$$"

And then they started another game? That makes no sense.

So who's watching the finals of the Intel Extreme Masters tourney? It's on in about 5 and a half hours from now, but I'm also going to watch the 3rd place fight which is Dimaga vs Tarson, which is 3 hours from now .

So curious to see how Morrow responds to what he's seen on Idra and his ability to deal with early Reaper pressure and Terran's almost-exclusive reliance on Thors to counter Muta in certain builds.

Meeee!

Terran has to start swicthing things up a bit.

There was a disconnect from b.net on the first game. The internet for ESL had been shady around that time so it just dropped him.

Yes I remember them saying they would release a tournament package which would allow LAN play.
The question is what kind of security they'll have for that, how readily they'll make it available, and WHEN they'll make it available.

They'll have to get pretty ingenuous to avoid any leaks there. I'm shocked the alpha build wasn't leaked considering the kind of security there was at the one event I attending in France.

No LAN planned, no professional version. Was just a rumor. I am kinda on the fence now about LAN... wouldnt mind seeing it in. This is mostly because of a few facts that I just recently learned about the interwebs. See, I always thought that like 98% of anybody had the internet available to them, so I saw it as not necessary. Then I read this article:

and was alarmed to learn that 21% of americans dont have any internet at all =\

Thanks for the info TRD!
I don't know if that 21% is the same that wants to play SC2 hehe : )
As a general statistic it is quite alarming though.

Damn... Morrow loves his reapers... I would have liked to see him branch out a little more though... Idra had some great defesne in that second game though.

[GRUNT]

Ok that last game totally highlights why ZvT early game can piss me off.

Terran can do so many things, Idra has to be so precise because he could die at any second. You cant get your scout without sacrificing an Overlord. In this case though, he just died due to pure unluckiness! If only that Overlord had come from a different direction, it would have seen what Morrow was up to and Idra could have responded!

Instead, Idra didn't know what was coming, and lost because he was unprepared.

I must admit, I was expecting Idra to win. However, I was HOPING he'd lose! XD I just don't like the guy that much, and everyone else was so much better-mannered. Dimaga looked so happy just to be there .

@DSquid: Speak for yourself. Some of us are actually healthy.

Back on-topic, if NaDa doesn't completely cream TLO, I'll be disappointed. I'm still going to root for TLO though since I'm a random player and I know how hard it is. Yes, I know the game has already been done but I'm speaking of it this way because I haven't seen it I took a nice SC2 break

You’re going to be disappointed. It went 2-1 to TLO but the in the third and last game Kespa called Germany and told NaDA to pull out of the third match. (TLO did have the advantage but NaDa was gearing up for an attack).

TLO isn't random anymore, he is Terran officially and sometimes switches to Zerg.
