The announcers address the fact that Testie normally plays Random. He actually chose Protoss for both matches. He did not go random for either fight. Bisu also knew this before the match and was able to prepare for a protoss opponent instead of random.
I hope the whole wc engine gets pitched for sc2. Sc2 needs to be as dark, tight and precise as the first one. And have the screen zoomed out more like sc where macro was a huge issue unlike in wc3 wher eteh screen was all zoomed in
starcraft is a well-designed strategy game and it became a popular activity to them; it is as skillful as chess, it is as entertaining as singing and dancing, and it is as fascinated as soccer/basketball.
i don't get why ppl complain about koreans making money out of starcraft. How does being a progamer different from being a waiter/waitress? computer application programmer? The way I see it: they make way better money than any of part-time job(lots of full-time job too); they work easier than being farmers/truck drivers/computer programmers; they enjoy it; it brings people joy; it contributes the korean society.
no we koreans dont play it 24/7 and neither do they play it like a sport... we do play it more than any other game probably, but no one really thinks of it as a sport, despite enjoying watching them.
lol i just thought of this "crazy" conspiracy: the korean players have these little two way radios under their headphones so they're lil teammates can tell them what the other players are building and getting...
That is actually a very good point, and i agree , so i take back about what i said, concerning the money part, even though it is still a bit abstract to me. But on the other the hand the crows that gather and the hype it gets, seems a bit superficial. I mean i LOVEE Sc, its my all time favorite game, but i don't get how it gets so much hype from civilian people (non-gamers)
lol i went to your clan channel once. went 7-0 vs 4 players 1v1. mediocre players. xiaozi & mondragon were in us wcg saturn in season 7 lol. i ran out of the channel
Athene had someone else play his character to rank1 in every bracket, he got someone else to play SC2 with his name and LOL is a game in which you can do well by picking a carry with no more as 4 buttons. Athene has done many great things with his efame but he is not a professional player, lol.
agreed very few were original and lifting to play in a competition ... only other ive seen that could have been a good competition game thats also as old is starsiege although it would be more for a team based too bad lots of in house fighting and stealing of it tech to enhance other games stunted it growth. So glad starcraft didnt suffer this fate.
But i would argue ti is definetly slightly more commendable and respectable than a kid who playes a computer game arround the clock, not to mention at the age of 25+.
.....i dont think thats going to happen dude.....r u counting in the old people who grew up wit sports and pass it on to other people??? I think ur miscalculating there dude...
in fact, koreas dominate most RTS. Age of Empire, Rise of nations, rise of legends, dark crusade, warcraft, etc. In Fifa, korea used to 100% dominate though not any more. Get your fact straight. As a sole ethnic group, Koreans dominate in most number of games.
would you criticize or make fun of people who farm for money? people who drive truck for money? people who sit in the front of computer and write programs for living? if u do, i suggest you be a grown-up and face the reality. They PLAY COMPUTER-GAMES for MONEY, that seems nothing wrong with me. They are much better than those who can't get money legally.
idontfitin// Your "theory" does not explain why china, with population of 1.2 billion, sucks as compared to korea with population of 50 million. In terms of play time, I don't think it makes lots of difference in the top-class level. Of course i don't believe in gene theory or something like that. I think it is because koreans culturally have strong desire for winning against others. (reason why online game is so popular in korea whereas offline video games are more popular world wide)
It's entertainment. If you feel that these people should not be getting the money they get for professionally playing video games to entertain the crowds, then you should feel the same way about sport athletes. Don't give me crap on sports being good while computer games are bad- both require a level of skill, the former relying more on physical power and steroids, the latter on cognitive processing and strategy.
or you may mean they do not have long history and that you presume that the fact that they do not have there own culture make them loosers.. well that may be ... but consider millions of countrys that unfortunately dont have their own culture like austrailia and newzeeland canada or african states that used to be colonized by european empires or ...newer formed counties after hitlers war
I never defended professional athletes on an intellectual level, or what their quality is as people. I am just arguing that playing a game that was made for ENTERTAINMENT, professionally and getting paid the money they do seems silly. I love starcraft personally. And to assume professional atheletes are stupid is a fallacy, so please look into that before talking. Last but not least, it takes a lifetime of training, perseverence and somewhat natural skill. I don't idolise them.
i dont really want to read all the arguing going on, but if one of you guys call these guys "geeks" or anything of the sort here's what i have to say: YOU ARE WATCHING A STARCRAFT VIDEO ON TH-cam. haha

I wasn't making a direct translation, and what you heard is a different sound byte from the video. Not quite what I was talking about.
What's the name of the song at the beginning?
what is the song that start in 00:35?
@ppshchik Life less frightening - Rise Against is the name of the song ^^
wow even starting off with a huge economic disadvantage, bisu still managed to crush afro thunder.
Agreed. The camera needs to be able to zoom far out, and players should have total control over the angles (like Myth).
please tell me more about Swedens Madfrog ^^
The announcers address the fact that Testie normally plays Random. He actually chose Protoss for both matches. He did not go random for either fight. Bisu also knew this before the match and was able to prepare for a protoss opponent instead of random.
can people please upload the english broadccasting for the WWI
I hope the whole wc engine gets pitched for sc2.
Sc2 needs to be as dark, tight and precise as the first one. And have the screen zoomed out more like sc where macro was a huge issue unlike in wc3 wher eteh screen was all zoomed in
Does testie look nervous? I hope he has an interview about the games.
just by being able to play bisu for that long meaning he's pretty damn good for a canadian already
who won?
When a non-korean beats a Korean in a StarCraft Tournament, that will be the end of the world.
oh i remember this game, testie forgot goon range lol, thats why he lost.
starcraft is a well-designed strategy game and it became a popular activity to them; it is as skillful as chess, it is as entertaining as singing and dancing, and it is as fascinated as soccer/basketball.
thats not what the announcer said;; they said that Bisu felt better because he plays better against protoss and he didnt practice a lot
Are they laughing at Testie's pylon placement?
So korea isnt just a giant bomb factorY?
sen is z not p
I wonder why Testie didn't use Maelstrom on Bisu at 16:40 - 17:10.. maybe it was Bisu's Dark Archon
I think it's just random music specifically for that.
This is HoN Testie?
@EoinFarow TY :D
I agree with you, I like watching spectator sports but the hype both in sc and normals sports are a bit over the edge :P
im korean;;; and first of all... there are no radios. however, i think that the pro gamers can hear a little what the commentator is saying
i don't get why ppl complain about koreans making money out of starcraft.

ART
and u say 2 digit iq'ed losers who professionally chase after ball in 11 vs 11 not losers?
@sxyspaz Some Random player qualified for GSL #3
rushing is really really risky and bisu won't fast expand if he can't block. and if he blocks using forge and gate, then rushing don't do jack.
testie put up a good fight, bisu just used well of his energy and dragoons
that canadian play random? wtf .what that mean
this should be the final
@nickkk143 called E-Sports
I lol'd...yes people do still play this game. Atleast the hardcore fans do.
but the thing is testie's T isn't great either -.-
i think there is.... but maybe more than 200
no we koreans dont play it 24/7 and neither do they play it like a sport... we do play it more than any other game probably, but no one really thinks of it as a sport, despite enjoying watching them.
whats with the english rock with korean commentary, Rather be able to understand whats going down...
lol i just thought of this "crazy" conspiracy: the korean players have these little two way radios under their headphones so they're lil teammates can tell them what the other players are building and getting...
thanks.
Ayy Fam Propz on these Players!" no doubt keep doin' your thang!.. nice protoss play word the fuck up!"
but testie* lmao funny name rofl
That is actually a very good point, and i agree , so i take back about what i said, concerning the money part, even though it is still a bit abstract to me. But on the other the hand the crows that gather and the hype it gets, seems a bit superficial. I mean i LOVEE Sc, its my all time favorite game, but i don't get how it gets so much hype from civilian people (non-gamers)
he picked protoss actually
Lol, gotta respect someone who plays Random, good job Testie :P
SOMEONE FILMED THIS WITH TOASTER
testie did quite well considering bisu's a god.
yea they are cause they play it alot
their car > your house
lol i went to your clan channel once. went 7-0 vs 4 players 1v1. mediocre players.
xiaozi & mondragon were in us wcg saturn in season 7 lol. i ran out of the channel
hey spidermonkies!! no racist comments!! i like very much the korean players but im from latin america, i think that racism sucks!!
well i have a feeling bisu was not at the top of his game...compare to his performance when slaying savior, this doesnt look 100% effort to me
Athene had someone else play his character to rank1 in every bracket, he got someone else to play SC2 with his name and LOL is a game in which you can do well by picking a carry with no more as 4 buttons. Athene has done many great things with his efame but he is not a professional player, lol.

Its really old
But i would argue ti is definetly slightly more commendable and respectable than a kid who playes a computer game arround the clock, not to mention at the age of 25+.
BISU (DAGGER) RULES~!!!
He put up a good fight.
lol look at the size of the cpus
around 24:50
that's kinda weird... i find shows china
I played phantom with him and his gf janice when I was in lzuruha
aaah!
.....i dont think thats going to happen dude.....r u counting in the old people who grew up wit sports and pass it on to other people??? I think ur miscalculating there dude...
Bisu is the best protoss ever :)
Picks Random.. what a boss
in fact, koreas dominate most RTS.
Age of Empire, Rise of nations, rise of legends, dark crusade, warcraft, etc. In Fifa, korea used to 100% dominate though not any more. Get your fact straight. As a sole ethnic group, Koreans dominate in most number of games.
to bad there not speaking english, i would really like to hear wat there saying
random is a race too... :P
now this is a PvP :)
would you criticize or make fun of people who farm for money? people who drive truck for money? people who sit in the front of computer and write programs for living?
if u do, i suggest you be a grown-up and face the reality.
They PLAY COMPUTER-GAMES for MONEY, that seems nothing wrong with me. They are much better than those who can't get money legally.

Testie plays HON
tastie's nickname is the best
Testie is still my hero. I just wish he would commit to SC2 :[
LOLZ look at testie's hair
whooped
Oh wow nerd rage.. You ok bro?
I'm Korean and its hard for me to beat other Koreans in Starcraft lol
@Sp3ctra1 Insane LoL player? I think not.
Testie
yeah hahaha duckeyandjosh is so funny
thats awesome that he plays random.. no one is sc2 does that
testie is actually pretty good. i obs'd him vs xiaozi when they were hanging in wcg saturn channel. but vs bisu, the #1 toss player ... lol no chance
WWI was a rather poor name choice... I'm pretty sure that abbreviation is taken...
Projek, sorry but that was among the most ignorant statements I've heard regarding Pro SC. Just relax it, man. Sweet deal?
