EG Masters Cup - Slush vs PainUser. 12 Drone Rush 4 minute win..

[geno]

He must not have seen the Morrow game, he got decimated by that hahah

[Misuicide]

Thats pretty funny, lol

[Maguspk]

There doesn't seem to be a replay for G2, lame.

[Serif]

Crazy how root.qxc goes through the entire EG Tourney and is undefeated until the final set and then idrA just wipes the floor with him. Only thing that sucks though is idrA got to pick all the maps so it was all Zerg friendly maps. Still nuts though

EG masters cup always makes me feel kinda dirty, playing for the sole purpose of preventing someone from getting an awesome laptop

I found this funny, but it's pretty true.

[Misuicide]

Go go Jinro!

[GRT]

amazing group matches

[Misuicide]

i'm tempted to get the package. its only 10 bucks, but meh i'm a cheap ass

Next GSL season will be great due to the new map pool. So TSL_Rain or other cheesing fucks will have a tough time with new maps.

[Falaras]

It's amazing how bad the A-Class is right now, if a terran plays 50% of the time they will all in with SCVs for no reason. If a Protoss plays they will 4 gate or 1 gate colossus. It's just kind of silly. I will admit it's sometimes worth watching these matches for Tastosis banter though, I lol'd irl when Artosis corrected Tasteless on "You can't catch Squirtle you have to trade it or get it from professor oak".

I haven't had to watch CodeA players until wednesday where they made the change from Code-S players playing right after Code-A(which is pretty underhanded imo, I bet Code-A had poor viewership on stream while Code-S had a lot more). It's so true that some matches are worth watching solely for the tastless and artosis banter. I'm starting to think artosis is funnier than tastless though the guy is on a roll with dumb mistakes.

Edit: anyone else feel like tester isn't so great anymore? He used to be the best toss even if nobody saw him play for months because he didn't qualify for the GSL. Now his zerg is "unbeatable" and he loses to zenio. Convincingly, too. And wtf@ warping in 6 stalkers with your current 3 stalkers against like 30 zerglings and 3 mutas.

JIN

MOTHERFUCKING

RO

[GRT]

THIS THREAD TOO!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT JINRO!!!!111

[Iku]

MECH PLAY > MC.

[Maguspk]

Jinro and Idra are pulling off some legendary ass shit!

I don't understand the system anymore though, like why Jinro was 2nd even though he didn't lose any matches, shouldn't they have an up-down match to determine who was first between Jinro and Marineking?

[GRT]

Jinro lost his first match to fake boxer

[Sylvrdragon]

JINROOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

GORILLA TERRAN FTMFW!

I bet the other 7 players in the Ro8 are happy that they won't have to face MC now, lol.

I can't decide how I feel about Jinro having to face IdrA next round... On one hand, it means that only one of them can make it to the Ro4, on the other hand, it means that one of them will DEFINITELY make it to the Ro4. We're guaranteed to have a foreigner in the semi-finals at least.

[Misuicide]

I honestly don't think Idra can beat Jinro. Unless Idra has changed his play style specifically for Jinro, I don't think he will win. A Terran hasn't won the GSL yet, Maybe Jinro will make it happen! I will be happy if either of them make it to the finals! FOREIGNERS SHOWING THEM WHATS UP!

Map sets for Jinro vs Idra:
1: Xel'Naga Caverns
2: Metal
3: Shakuras
4: Jungle
5: LT

If it is metal on close air or cross, it's gonna be one hell of a macro game. Close land = advantage Jinro since Zergs hate the shared 3rd. This series will probably go to the distance. Though the longer it goes, it becomes a more uphill battle for Idra based on map selection.
