I'm really pissed that I missed Huk v idrA the game I really wanted to see, is there anywhere to watch them?

Edit: Why the fuck did Huk just throw the game to Select.

lol at that mothership

**Maguspk** · 2010-10-16 17:49

The audience was shouting Mothership and pretty much spoiled it once it was there, really gay, kind of want to punch everyone in the audience right now.

Except the one guy with the IdrA cheer sign...
First side: We <3 IdrA
Flipped over: Apologize for playing that race

LAUGHED MY FUCKING ASS OFF

Oh the Irony of IdrA, it's good to see he's gown up since then but just as a reminder this is the guy who played Terran in BW (considered the strongest race) and bitched endlessly about Protoss (considered the weakest race) and only chose Zerg at the beginning of SC2 because he thought it was going to be the strongest (although it might be now).

Also for more lulz listen to the BW conversation on the latest state of the game:

said convo happens about half way through.

Who's going to stay up to watch the first day of the GSLs?

Boxer, FruitDealer, Maka... going to be so good.

I was looking at the brackets earlier and man, it does not look good for foreigners. TLO is in the same group as Fruitdealer, Loner is in the same group as Boxer, thankfully idrA doesn't have anyone I know of in his group. I think those are the only 3 foreigners that made it in too?

**Maguspk** · 2010-10-17 22:25

oGsGon and Maka are definitely possible problems for IdrA to tackle but ya compared to other brackets not as many big names. TLO v FruitDealer would be like a dream come true, although with the Roach buff I just feel like FruitDealer is going to be like raping face left and right, against Terrans at least. I am really looking forward to Boxer and Nada playing, can't wait to see what they do. It's got to be rough for them because they know so many people are expecting greatness from them and so they have high expectations to live up to. I have high hopes though, everytime I just think about those games with Boxer v Idra and Boxer doing something as simple as putting his tanks on that ledge in the middle of the map on Xel'naga Caverns, it was so simple yet so Boxer. That kind of strategic genius is not very complex but to come up with something that simple in a situation is sometimes the most impressive of all. It's like the smoke/roach+spine moves by Cool, or even the baneling drops, it's all just cool ways to doing something that totally change how a problem is approached. Man I'm so excited, if you couldn't tell.

GSL2 started up about a half hour ago, gogo.

**altwight** · 2010-10-18 06:09

he took out that fast expo sooooooooooooo beautifully.

**LinktheDeme** · 2010-10-18 14:15

What link is everyone watching these games from? And are they all stored somewhere or only livecasted?

**Maguspk** · 2010-10-18 21:12

gomtv.net

Boxer games were fucking sick, second game especially. The interview was great too, he actually looks at Artosis and the camera. Pretty funny seeing him react to Artosis calling him the Emperor too, haha.

Well shit...

Blizzard just announced the line up for the invitational...and also the fact that they are going to have a showmatch between FruitDealer and Boxer....fuck.....now I want to buy the stream...

**Falaras** · 2010-10-18 22:17

Did Moon make it into the round of 64? I am so happy he switched over to SC2 either way. And can you watch GSL matches for free this time or just the first one of the series like before?

Nope he got bounced. Lyn made it though.

**Maguspk** · 2010-10-18 22:38

Just the first of the series, but the VODs are HQ now, so good.

Boxer v FruitDealer this weekend is going to be made of legendary win.

Oh snap Lyn, I am liking GSL more and more. Too bad I am too cheap to shell out the money to watch the whole thing.

**Bweigelt** · 2010-10-18 23:08

Games are on right now you can watch live. For the round of 64 they are part of the games earlier for the NA audience.
