It might help some of you geeks to re-schedule your e-girlfriend to an other day. :)

The end of april will bring a shitload of games. I mean, 2 teams tournaments, with 10 teams each. When you know the chinese with their crazy systems, 6 days, 19 brackets, 5 losers brackets, poor players. Next month brings back the PGL, a tourney I really appreciate because I believe their streaming technology is the best as a viewer. (3 PPLive channels, Firstperson player 1, First person player 2, and one hi-definition stream). The invitation for the wc3 players aren't released yet but there are a lot of nice rumors on the chinese boards.

GEEK TIME BABY

GEEK TIME go!

I focus my attention on Rotk and PGL which will be really exciting. GL HF

now these tourneys will tell us if moon is really losign shape and if grubby is really gaining shape, maybe from this tourneys we can see who the top 5 players in the world aye

Why do you think that moon is losing shape? I don't think so. But im really excited about Lyn. I saw his game vs Sase from NGL and it was a total rape. Honestly i must say that i underrated lyn a bit but he is really good and still seems to become better. And with every win he makes against nelf/hu , orcs are getting new motivation. He is the king of orcs now. For a long time orc had no King but here is a new one and Orcs will gain shape again. Also the new patch will help them.

elf won't win any of those tournaments but ofc they still get nerfed and people will still cry.

they won last year more tournaments than any race would win in next 5 years.

elf got nerfed in every fuckin patch since 2002 and they'r still gonna be nerfed hard in 1.22
i feel somehow painful for them

that's where elf creativity comes from. Always having to find something new instead of playing the same shit since 1.12 like Undead and Orc.

so why do you cry that they wont any tournaments , cant elfs use their creativity ?

you mean creative strats like hipporiders or mass hunts vs Undead? Yeah, those new things will win you the most imbalanced matchup.

elf is creative,im for real.At least elf players are more creative than otha races
HU:2 strats:tower/tank or mass casters
Orc:ensnare herofocus,what else ?
UD:2 strats:garg/ghoul or mass fiends

but sometimes creativity aint enuff cuz of lame & maps

Humans are also creative. Ofc it has to do that they can basically make units they want, sitting behind their towers and just making the counter to what ever the opponent doesto counter your towers.
But they can play so diverse from rushes to base laming, and all their variations of mass air.

sounds more sarcastic than intended tt

So funny. Elves in the past always tried to say they are not imba. No one every cared about what elves said about balance. Nelf consider the new Patch a chance to tell everybody there arn't imba anymore. Don't listen to these Elves! Elf is still imba and will continue winning every tournament in 08. I know all elves will thumb me down but i couldn't care less because this had to be said because i see the day coming nelfs will tell me that they won because they are more skilled.

CS / Broodwar / W3 = 800 000 rmb, I think WC3 has 180 000.

Thx 4 the information Sabian

Wonderful month :D

Hope some events will be covered with waaaghtv or replays will follow. Still waiting for RaceWar replays...

huh AWL masters ! thats will be good:D

when there is a stream.....

imo the players in finals are disappointing.
space, soccer, reign, lyn
Remind or Sky and Infi or Lucifer.

I would like to see 1 or 2 europeans. (nubby or nose maybe)
Also FoV/Sweet plays very entertaining @ offline events.
Lucifer/ReiGn plays kinda... more strategic, less crazy micro.
Soccer is boring2k to watch. Same goes for Infi.
And why is Moon sucking in quali? =( I want to see him play a final, he is insane at offline finals.
Sky and Lyn are great players. Space is ok.
Remind is ok too, but I'd swap him for Moon/Soju/Creo and maybe even HoT if I could.

Just some whining from me amongst all the "hurray for the april tournys" ;>
