Yeah that was a crazy semifinals
Have been losing my interest because of the PvP lull, but that was a damn good series.

Second semis in GSL and some Serral goodness in the WCS Challenger tomorrow.
Cool to see Homestory Cup list starting to fill out as well. Got a some good Koreans coming in again as well with Zest, Bunny, Solar and soO being announced so far. Solar and Bunny were a riot in the previous HSC.

Oh shit. An extra WCS tourney here in Finland
They also note that it is NOT region locked, so maybe some point thirsty top Koreans will show up as well? Edit: I guess not, since apparently they only hand out points for Circuit players.

Yeah, I just mean that Korean interest in the tourney might be far less due to the points not being available to them.
I didn't follow this season as closely as the last and have been out of the loop with all the fuss around Protoss balance, but Dark was so, so overdue. A lot of aggressive technical builds and cheeses flopping left and right tonight, but Game 5 was a particular treat, with how he whittled down Trap's near-hold with those Immortals. Very well deserved for someone who has looked like the Zerg-in-waiting for so long, after Rogue, Serral, and even soO claimed their major championships.

Finally watching. I love these intro interviews. Trap: I don't care who my opponent is, they don't matter. :lol
That was a surprisingly good finals.
Holy crap
Holy crap
Dark was glorious. those lightning maneuvers and strats
If a Starcraft III ever surfaces, I'm hoping the co-op mode will return, as it's easily my favourite mode in the game. (Never been into competitive SC.)
It's such a fun time, I really hope they add it into Warcraft 3 Reforged.
If nuBlizzard aren't into making campaigns anymore, the co-op mode would nonetheless round the hell out of SC3 and make a live service game a lot less dead on arrival.

All glory to Reynor for scoring his biggest win so far, but as a Serral fan, that final series was kind of weird and uncomfortable thing to watch. He seemed to throw the towel in quite early in the first game, basically threw game 4 and took oddly bad fights in both game 5 and 6. It all just felt quite off. The Winter finals were far more entertaining.

Same. Absolutely gutted.
Had to go and hug my fiance and daughter for some support.
A couple weeks ago he tweeted about having to skip an event because doctors found an infection during an examination. Didn't seem life threatening, just not the kind of thing that could be ignored for a weekend of casting. He was such a larger than life guy. The first money I ever spent on esports was a subscription to NASL specifically because InControl was such an awesome caster. This is a massive loss for his friends and family but also for the entire Starcraft 2 and esports community. Geoff was a titan. En Taro Geoff.

Awesome, can't wait to hear about it. I'm working Thursday but have Friday and Saturday off as well. Will be watching from ny.

Assembly starts in a little under 8 hours. First chance we'll have to see some of the guys casting an event post Geoff :(
edit: Holy shit, Bomber and Taeja are playing.
I must admit I'm utterly unfamiliar with the term compo(s). I've been in the audience for every main stage game after the 2nd half of the 1st day started.
If it's the Assembly I l know of, it's the 'demo' competition of legend. 'Demo' being like a slice of ridiculous programming brought to life visually (yes, it's fucking great. Maybe I'm wrong.
Then no, I haven't seen anything of that sort. I've wandered around a bit and taken a look at this and that, but the tournament schedule has been keeping me mostly glued to or near the SCII stage.

GSL vs the World day 1 is in the books.

Two pylon shows ago had a really good discussion on this.
Just announced at the end of GSL: BlizzCon Ro16 groups are going to be in the GSL studio in Seoul this year. Nice to have it audience-accessible again after the quiet studio broadcasts from previous years, and not booked directly against the other pre-BlizzCon e-sports programming. Also great to see the foreign players get a chance to play there, too, now that these days they only ever get to experience the Korean audience in GSL vs. The World (apart from the regulars like Scarlett and SpeCial).
