Anyone else watching?
I'm working on final projects for the quarter, but can't turn off the games going on. HQ streams for free all weekend.

Nice commentating also

Sickest games I've seen in a while. Stream is down ATM due to severe thunderstorms though. Darn.

Haven't seen any games of Idra, but I've seen July play in probably 4-5 matches now and has only lost once.

Is it just me, or does it seem like most MU's are TvZ? Maybe I'm just missing all the protoss games..


EDIT: Spoke too soon. Just saw July lose a match 2-0 to MMA

Don't mean to spam this topic, but watching Idra playing Thorzain and the commentators keep pronouncing Idra's name as eye-dra. I always thought it was id-ra, if that makes any sense.

Which is correct? Anyone know?

Only saw the last game of each, but yeah both were upsets in my mind as everyone was talking about how unstoppable each were.
Anyone see much of Major? Won quite a few games today as well

Ive been watching since Friday until l8. The champ pool games are just amazing 2 watch. I wish I could watch those games in Columbus, OH. The atmosphere there seems 2 b impressive. The players also very humble, especially that Major guy......he was totally awesome. Tastosis  are doing theyre job as usual, but when I can I prefer watching Day9´s stream, although I aint really a DJWheat fan.

My set up has been 1 screen with SC2 and the other screen with COD but muted. Quite entertaining that way I find :P

The fact that we get free HQ quality streaming all weekend is also cool.

MLG and other tournies of the same grandeur are precisely what make this amazing game stand out even more. Simply amazing the amount of marketing that goes into gaming atm, and equally amazing the big brands that are starting 2 invest in gaming. The whole Dr Pepper gaming house scene looks remarkably interesting. Bic shaving equipment directed at teenagers who dont actually have anything 2 shave yet (at least on a daily basis that is) just shows how these big name companies are truly marketing their products in a sensible fashion.

Also those ARDrones are sweet. Daddy wants. Daddy just aint got the dough. Daddy sad

daddy out

I agree with preferring the day9 casting over the other, but not to say the others aren't doing a great job.

All these great games is making me consider going down to MLG Anaheim in July (Girlfriend's parents live in Orange County). Just have to think of a good excuse to visit..

Really enjoying this tournament Sheth vs mma was so much fun to watch, loving all the banneling bombs and banneling mines action. Will be replicating that foe sure!
