Wolf and Kaldor are so stupid, he canceled his upgrade and got a sentry first when he scouted no fast 3rd from a zerg.

Freaky has got to be the best player to debut in GSTL this year. I love team leagues.

This is such a high level PvZ.

He should have taken control of the mothership and vortexed the carriers.

Yup. Then laid down 100 Infested Terrans and fungal them to keep them clumped as they pop out and let the infested terrans kill them.

Freaky just qualified for Code A as well.

CGI bullshit is the death knell of cinema
Not really, Crank is weak vs Terran and in winner's league format you never want a player to get too much momentum.

Yeah I didn't realise Crank's bad PvT before I posted that.


jjakji has lost almost all of his recent games, so it's more like he shouldn't be coming out at all.

He didn't have a good day in the up and downs that is for sure.

Excited to see TL in GSTL tonight even if Taeja won't be there. Hopefully I'll get to see a few games before having to sleep

Is Zenio the one with the red hair?

Bah, they already took down the player names they put up by accident.

Feels weird to see ZeNEX outlive oGs...

TL apparently does not have Taeja atm, must be still traveling. So they just have 5 players :/

Avenge is up first, but he's a pretty great protoss.

Doesn't matter. After that they have both Mentalist and TREME, both are great protosses as well. I honestly don't think TL has much of a chance, especially without Taeja.

Good match. Very scrappy, I think both were overaggressive throwing away some leads but it was fun to watch.

Team Liquid's first win in the GSTL :D

Nice, back and forth game. Good comeback from Zenio after he lost his 4th and 3rd.

I was not sure that Zenio could win that at the start, but he managed to pull it out.

The size of the squads on the benches makes me lol. TL smallest lineup ever I'd assume?
Smallest allowed since best of 5. Curious if they advance what happens when bigger series of games lol.
Tsl had small lineups too, but tl is smaller

Yup.

When Taeja comes back, they'll be tied with F-United for the smallest squad, unless you count the coach . . . in which case TL would still be the smallest.

EDIT: Well, that seemed like super greedy play by Zenio. 3rd base with no units, no upgrades and teching straight to Infestors . . .

Zenio went for the "build no units or spine crawlers" strategy. Even if he had all the infestors out in time he still can't kill +1 roaches with infestor/ling. -.-
