Yeah, i don't know that much about ZvZ tbh. But yeah, Idra had a massive economic advantage, which could of equalized things.

On the other hand, Naniwa vs MVP was a fucking good game right there. Holy shit.

 

Holy shit, Naniwa.

 

Mvp downn...

Wtf is this alternate universe or what. Beast semifinals

 

Yeah, what games. Holy shit. I had this massive sinking feeling when I saw Naniwa go for the base trade, but it was really the best option he had.

Can't wait to see these finals.

 

As good as Naniwa v NesTea is going to be, I'm more hyped for Providence itself to get going. Wanna see more Puzzle (or HerO. HerO's cool too!)

 

Naniwa's PvZ seems not to be as strong as his PvT...

He lost his Code A games to zergs too, so I guess he does not really expect to win a macro game.

@edit: haha, fucking awesome games. Nestea should have stuck to mechanics because Naniwa totally made better decisions in that last game. It shows alot coz, I doubt they ever had a situation like that in practice

 

Ahahahahahah. I'd say beating NesTea is pretty good.

 

Wow at that last game. I mean... the trick with the drones at the start, into that beautiful blink stalkers timing push. I'll definitely be following Naniwa a lot more from now on.

 

The problem is he keeps getting knocked out of the first round of Code A.

EDIT: You let me down, Puzzle.

 

Any games from the open bracket you'd recommend watching? I passed out after the Global Invitational because I figured that the first few rounds of the Open would be pretty derpy.

 

The Hero vs Puzzle and Ganzi vs Violet were worth watching I thought. The former more than the latter. Violet did pretty well for just some random dude though. Ghanzi's pretty solid.

 

Violet used to be Code S on MVP before the merger between them and coL. Which I hate cause coL is my least favorite team.

 

So, I'm sold on Hero now. Been following him quite a bit after seeing him mentioned here quite often. He just played an absolutely fantastic game against ret.

 

Guys I heard they fixed the Archon Toilet.

 

He didn't even put the archons in the toilet lol.

Pretty amazing second game as well. Definitely following this guy.

 

MC just beat MVP then came out and did a ceremony in a Murloc hoodie. Protoss President.

 

Rise of the Protoss I guess? Naniwa just took out Nestea in the first game of the grudge rematch.

I haven't seen this many Protoss this far ahead in a tournament before. Then again, I have only really just started watching them.

 

Nestea just got raped in G1 of his 'revenge' on Naniwa. It's weird, watching Naniwa come out of nowhere again like he did back when he played for Dignitas & won his first tournament out of the blue (I forget what it was) & then he just dropped off the face of the earth.

MKP to win MLG Providence!

Edit;

Game 2, what... What did we just watch?

 

We watched Tastosis hype up a game that was over when NesTea killed 8 probes and forced a Nexus cancel while taking two expansions. I mean the chance of Naniwa coming back was less than 1 in... just an absurd amount of games. That 1 being where the person with that commanding of a macro lead dies of a heart attack.

Love Tastosis but that was an absurdly cast game.
