Man, there sure are a lot of Starcraft tournaments. I'll be watching. Hope it runs a little smoother than Dallas. Go Sheth!

ooh. Sound proof booths. Looks like they did make improvements.

Preshow running now, afterwards it looks like Idra vs MC and Kiwi vs MMA

ITS TOO MUCH AMAZING STARCRAFT!!!! WHAT WILL I DO!?

Seriously, this is overload. The IdrA v MC match is about to start and I can't believe I have to NOT watch KiwiKaKi vs MMA to see it.

It would appear Idra's face is being melted. Nothing to do with the game, look at his face.

That MC vs. Idra match was awesome!

Damnit!  I wish Blue and Red weren't going on at the same time.  This will be archived and free right?

I wonder if these embedded codes work in the new editor.

Edit:They totally do! If anyone is bugged by this I can remove them, just let me know.

Edit 2: I managed to hide them in spoiler tags, I think!

Edit 3: Removed!

you'll need premium for the VODs i think

I don't know if they are doing VODs for this... they didn't for Dallas. They will release the replays though.

F'en Idra... but MMA!!!

Every time I refresh the page the players that are embedded start.

damit, toss is getting beat to shit in both these games

oh my god idra vs mc was so good

Solid play by Idra. MC would have had him if he just stayed focused on that natural.

I few of us will be in the Giantbomb chat room on IRC Quakenet. /join #giantbomb

Some guy I know is supposed to be in some part of this or something.
 
I don't know, I don't keep up with Starcraft.

so ready for tlo/losira

@xanavi: Please just get rid of them -.- they play automatically and u cant pause them while they are playing adds.

edit: @xanavi: thx ... if it wasn't for the fact that they play automatically that would be great :(

Big match coming up. iNcontroL vs. Losira!!!

I'm hoping Idra gets knocked out soon. Great games so far today!

Didn't read if this was answered already in here, are both streams supposed to be the same right now?

@NickL: Yes there are several points in the cast where they play the same game on both streams in order to give the other casters a break.

So sad that there has been some keyboard troubles for Losira, but get to see a lot more of Day9 and Wheat vamping to fill time, lol.

@Rayeth:

Wow, was that lag, keyboard issues, or nerves from Losira? he was playing terribly... supply block at 28 supply for that long >_>

Good to hear that the stream's working this time, too bad I missed so much of the tourney thus far. Pleased Idra is kicking ass.

I'm just pleased the Koreans are losing, get rid of this notion that they are better in SC2, it may have been true for SC1 but it isn't for SC2

Or maybe everyone will blame it on jet lag? There is always an excuse whenever they lose...

@NickL: I'm guessing people will say since Bomber didn't make it, the tournament is a farce.

When Idra goes undefeated throughout the tournament, is the game still imbalanced?

of course, his opponents were terrible :P

He did that at Dallas last year and as far as I can tell still bitches about balance.

@NickL: Nah. Just MC was jetlagged. Select wasn't in it to win it. Ret missed a baneling or two and it could've gone either way.

At least, that's how I think Idra would rationalize it.

he beat MC, which was probably his toughest opponent in his group, so unless MC wasn't playing at his best (didnt get to see the matches), then i think idra is gonna be top of his group

Also no one is getting knocked out today, pool play is just for positions within the championship bracket.

And IdrA is awesome.

I kinda wish he says MC is terrible when he gets asked about it on SOTG, that would make for some laughs and maybe an interesting conversation.

nah, MC is a good replacement for Bomber, people who are beating the koreans atm deserve to be beating them, idra has always been on the level of the koreans in sc2, i was worried for him cause i heard he was only practicing 3-4hours a day recently but he's doing fine

I was scared Incontrol would beat my beloved Losira, but that didn't end up happening <3<3<3<3<3 
 
I felt bad for Losira, you could tell his technical difficulties affected him in game 2; there were mistakes he would never make normally in that game. I missed the video but apparently he threw his headset at the end of game 2 or did something like that.
 
Did anyone catch MMA vs. Kiwikaki?  I didn't get to see the end of it.

He beat Kiwi. MMA is playing sjow on the blue stream. 
 
Korean Update 
Losira 2-0 
MMA 2-0 
MC 2-1 
Moon 0-1 

Hey Guys!!

Idra is a baller.

That is all.

Agreed.

Whether you like his attitude or not, you cannot deny that he is a baller.

I just realized that watching Artosis without Tasteless isn't nearly as interesting.

Apparently because JP's a negative Sesame Street?

Losira's a boss.

Wait, what? Losira played game 2 against incontrol with only a mouse according to that interview? No wonder he looked bad that game if that is true.

Yo losira doesn't need his keyboard to play lol. Surprised he lasted that long if it's true lol

Well if I remember right incontrol didn't put any pressure on until those DT's and that is exactly when he started getting destroyed so I guess he didn't survive long once incontrol started.

Surprised that despite Blizzard's involvement in esports, they still won't integrate LAN play for tournaments such as this.

Whoever tricked Ret like that is an asshole. That can totally mess with a players head and mess up their play.

I hope it doesn't start a trend.

idra is probably the favorite in this tournament, but i hope mma continues to do well.
