ToR.Luneth:
I like cheese, both in game and out, live in Adelaide and enjoy SC2, Smash Bros and Deadman Wonderland (a manga).
ToR.Elusory:
Tell us more about your SC2 journey. How long have you played, and what were your greatest moments?
ToR.Luneth:
I've played since the start 2011 and joined ToR in mid 2011 where I started to improve. I mucked about in for a long time before I finally got promoted to . At end of WoLm I got (my highest point).
My greatest moment would probably be my (successful) mothership rush in a 4V4 vs mGG (Clan metaGameGods) to send off ToR.ThePandarine to his military service.
ToR.Elusory:
You went through a group of death all would call it as, managing to get 1st place with a score of 4-0. Along the way you beat VB.Enak and fellow ETL.NaMeK. How did you do it?
ToR.Luneth:
I have this idea that if I see early double gas (15 15) it almost never means robo, instead being an early sentry expo, stargate or DTs of their own. I think the best way to counter that is to go for a hidden DT rush which was succesful. I noticed VB.Enak scouted late in the first game so I proxied 2 gates in the second.
Against ETL.NaMeK, it was early expo vs early expo with mine being quicker, I sniped his Mothership Core and his army got trapped and died. Again ETL.NaMeK scouted late so I just proxied 2 gates in game 2 and won.
TL;DR cheese OP
ToR.Elusory:
Seems like you're the proxy 2 gate king... Now that people know how your games went, will you still be using the same strategies in the playoffs if you meet a ?
ToR.Luneth:
If they show the same tendencies probably (or will I?), but it seems unlikely that'll get a next round from what I've seen of the brackets so far,
ToR.Elusory:
You'll face 2nd place of Group 1, which has 3 and 1 .
ToR.Luneth:
AHK TY
I hope I get because I know more all ins against
ToR.Elusory:
All the best to your all ins! Definitely a match to be looked out for. Any last words or shoutouts?
ToR.Luneth:
Get through to fight me ToR.missAsuzy so I can crush you. Hopefully FS.Totodile gets through too so I can crush him. Ah... so many people I want to crush, so little time
My favourite unit is the DT btw. I'm going to sleep now. Night~
ToR.Elusory:
Congratulations on advancing to the Ro8! To begin with, tell us more about yourself.
AxS.SouL:
Thanks! Well, not much to tell, I'm just a kid from Adelaide that plays the OP race . I play Warhammer 40K from time to time, but most of my spare time is devoted to school. Used to play sports, but injuries made sure that the only sport I will play again is eSports.
ToR.Elusory:
You've advanced through the Ro16 as 1st place, winning 2-1 for each series you played. Wanna walk us through your games?
AxS.SouL:
The Ro16 for me;
First off I had to take on eMp.Infected, this was scary as he just came off an all-kill against ETL's GPD team, but I had to put my fear behind me and just accept my fate.
Game 1 against this from eMp was played on the map Yeonsu, very distasteful for me, I hate the map. I decided to proxy 2 gate in his base because I felt like opening up with such a suicidal cheese would keep him on his toes early on in the set, he hatched first and I walked in with 3 zealots. 1-0 for me.
Game 2 was a completely different story, I felt like I was in the lead for parts of the game, sniping hatches and keeping macro up, but I over committed and ended up losing 5 Colossus to viper pull backs into waiting roach hydra. 1-1 tied up.
Game 3 I felt the nerves, I opened up with a 1 gate expand into 4 gate pressure but some part of me told me to not grab the nexus but to instead tech to DT as fast as I could while keeping the pressure up. My attacks with gateway units were largely ineffective but by the time he mustered enough roaches to move out, I had killed the rocks with aleast 7 DT (this is Akilon) and I just ran past the defences at the front into the main.
A dirty 2-1 victory for me.
Then I had to vs my clan mate AxS.indursex.
Game 1 was just me 4 gating like an idiot, which I lost quite convincingly. 0-1 to him.
Game 2 was a nice macro game where my DT harass kept him down on bases and his sick multi prong drops kept me down on workers all game long.
It eventually ended up turning into a deathball v deathball scenario but I hit just before Ghosts could affect the game and with a +1 upgrade advantage to crush his army. 1-1.
Game 3 I opened up with a 1 gate DT expand into 3 gates, I killed him before the game went any longer. 2-1 to me.
So yeah.. I love DT's but don't expect me to use them every game
ToR.Elusory:
That's very detailed and lots of solid play involved. Hope to see you do well in the Ro8! Any last words or shoutouts?
AxS.SouL:
Shoutouts to my clan AxS! Feels good to represent you guys after just managing for so long, and shoutout to my mum! Wouldn't have got where I am today without her sandwiches.
Thanks ~~
ToR.Elusory:
Congratulations on qualifying for the Ro8. Tell us more about yourself!
AxS.indursex:
I am indursex, a player playing from . I play the guitar and love watching movies! Hong Kong drama serials are my favourite.
ToR.Elusory:
What does indursex mean by the way?
AxS.indursex:
I play League of Legends (LoL) and there's this player called insec, so I just added the "dur" and changed the "C" to "X". Basically I wanted it to mean inside during sex
ToR.Elusory:
That's pretty creative... How are you feeling after moving onto the Ro8 with a 2-1 win?
AxS.indursex:
Definitely feeling relieved. I played zeNo before, and won him 2-0. So I thought I could win back 2-0. But losing the 1st game of the series made me go a little on tilt to be honest, but somehow I did it.
ToR.Elusory:
Walk us through the last series with him a bit. What builds did you employ after realising you're down 0-1?
AxS.indursex:
After losing to him 0-1 in the beginning, I was really stressed out and started to wonder whether to change my build or not, but I did basically the same thing as Game 1 because he went pool first before and I did not have a chance to use my build against him. After equalizing it, I just went the same build again but added drops to get him out to position to allow me to win the series.
ToR.Elusory:
That sounds like a great series to watch. You'll be facing either MTi.MrLando or FS.Totodile in the Quarter Finals. Who do you prefer to face?
AxS.indursex:
I am so bad at TvZ right now that I would try to avoid it as much as possible. I've got a secret style of TvT, most people would know, but it's my best.
ToR.Elusory:
Alright, hopefully MTi.MrLando advances then! Any last words or shoutouts?
AxS.indursex:
Thanks, thanks a lot for hosting this (Interviewer's note: No problem!). I hope I won't meet another AxS member on the way again.
ToR.Elusory:
Congratulations on getting to the Ro8. Tell us more about yourself!
FS.Totodile:
My name is Kong, and I'm 14. I started playing StarCraft at the age of 9, and practising has been everything to me in StarCraft 2. I always watch GSL and try to become better. My dream is to be a champion like Life! My English name is Kong, Vietnam name is Khang.
ToR.Elusory:
Tell us how are you feeling after advancing through your group with 1st place.
FS.Totodile:
Pretty great! I had my team Fusion Slugs supporting me, always wishing me luck. When I told them I advanced to the Ro8, they were typing "GJ" and all that. So I'm pretty happy representing Team FS.
ToR.Elusory:
Walk us through your games in the Ro16.
FS.Totodile:
I started off vsing ToR.missAsuzy. I was feeling pretty intimidated because he was in Silicon Sports Academy. I thought they had pretty hardcore training for him, but I pulled myself together and remembered that I had been through lots of practice, so it was my time to shine.
In Game 1, I opened up muta ling baneling, and used separate groups of banes and lings to kill his army efficiently and killed some widow mines in the process. I then transitioned into Ultralisks, which then pretty much he GGed out.
Game 2, he did an early push with a bio force. That kept pushing me back, and then I was forced to GG because my minerals were so high and I didn't have any larvae.
Game 3, I used Soulkey's roach ling bane muta strategy. I prepared this for 5 days to use against my opponent, and I managed to pull it off. Eventually, I took a good win against SLCNA's ToR.missAsuzy. 2-1!
My second opponent was MTi.MrLando. In Game 1, I followed the same strategy as I used in Game 1 with ToR.missAsuzy. The standard 3 hatch at 6 mins, then I did the same ling bane and spread lots of creep tumours. I scouted 2 factories, so I was like, alright, hellions because of the reactors. I created 16 lings to defend it with 1 queen, and then transitioned into ultralisks and he killed my spire. By then, I needed to save the rest of my mtas in case of drops. I had 10 mutas and 9 ultras with the rest lings and banes. I traded efficiently enough for him to tap out GG. A great start to the game for me 1-0!
In Game 2, I did the same thing again, but this time he destroyed my 4th several times. I was attacked early at my 3rd which I defended with 14 banes and some lings, and then rushed into ultras. At the 12 minute mark, I started destroying his 4th and 3rd, then I did a ling runby which destroyed pretty much of all the things in his main base while he was focusing on my army. I had almost 15 ultras in the army and I split it evenly. 7 to kill the army with ling and banes, 8 to kill off the main and the natural including the reinforcements. He lifted his buildings and tried to escape but I remember having 10 mutas. So I tracked the CC down and he was forced to tap out! A great 2-0 for me.
ToR.Elusory:
Seems like you have pretty solid play! You'll face AxS.indursex in the Ro8. How are you feeling and how will you prepare against him?
FS.Totodile:
I'm pretty prepared to play against him. I seemed to have faced him last time in a clan war and I'm pretty sure I won. I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve and who knows, there might just be another clean sweep!
ToR.Elusory:
Any last words or shoutouts you would like to make?
FS.Totodile:
Shoutout to my Clan Fusion Slugs for supporting me! And ToR.missAsuzy if you're gonna be in Ro8, prepare for some wicked builds!
ToR.Elusory:
Congratulations on getting to the Ro8! Tell us more about yourself.
MTi.MrLando:
Hey there, I'm James and I'm from Melbourne. I play . I love watching and also making films in my spare time. At the moment I'm doing some artwork to pass the time.
ToR.Elusory:
Sounds cool! What kind of films and art do you like?
MTi.MrLando:
Haha, I just doodle shiz. I'm loving 80's films currently and am watching a stint of incredibly bad films lately, modern movies just aren't appealing anymore to me. I'm a bit of a film nazi.
ToR.Elusory:
I see. Your thoughts on advancing through the Ro8 with 2nd place?
MTi.MrLando:
I'm surprised my TvZ has been so bad lately, it's usually my best match up by far. I feel quite lucky to not face many because it's my weakest match up. Overall, I feel good for getting through.
ToR.Elusory:
Care to walk us through your games in the Ro16?
MTi.MrLando:
I played TCP.Rendorian first and then a player. I think my TvZ was solely solid in those games. I just played normal 3 CC stuff pretty simple.
Player 2 was FS.Totodile who had my number. My pushes were pretty crushed I seemed to kill his fourth a lot. But he managed to get 3 bases and tech to ultras to roll me over both games. Game 2 was a lot closer because I noticed a mine at this third got 25 drone kills which was nice. I tried a 2 basey more style that worked better but didn't do enough damage in the end.
Player 3 was ToR.missAsuzy. Game 1 was pretty solid TvT, I went double rax reaper becasue it's so good on Yeonsu and it worked quite well to contain him and annoy him whilst I transitioned into a solid macro game.
Game 2 was a lot closer. I can't believe I won to be honest. I went 1 rax fast expand refused to scan his main because I love greed and was punished for it. His hellion marine drop killed a buttload of SCVs. However, I made bio and flanked a lot, sniepd his third and dropped the main to slow him down a bit, the drops kept me in the game. Eventually, I forced him to try push my natural and then I won.
ToR.Elusory:
You'll be facing a in the Ro8. How are you feeling?
MTi.MrLando:
I'm feeling alright, hopefully I can play well. I've been playing on KR against many , and facing many all ins so hopefully I can play well.
ToR.Elusory:
Any last words or shoutouts?
MTi.MrLando:
Thanks for setting this up! It's a fun tourney, gives me goals and more of a competitive reason to play. Shoutout to Adam who got knocked out and carmour (hopefully he gets through, we wanna play). Shoutout to all players! I would have stopped playing if this race wasn't so fun to play and interesting. Hopefully I can do well! Also, good luck to all the VB guys!
ToR.Elusory:
Congratulations on advancing to the Ro8! Tell us more about yourself
VB.Enak:
I'm a player from New Zealand, representing the clan VB. I'm finishing off my Bachelor of Sport with a major in coaching in a couple of weeks' time, really looking forward to that. Play and coach football as part of my degree as well.
ToR.Elusory:
That sounds cool. Which football team do you support?
VB.Enak:
Love Chelsea! Supported them since a young age.
ToR.Elusory:
You're the second player to advance through your group. Tell us what you thought about the group when you first saw it. (His group is 4 )
VB.Enak:
Coming from VB, a clan full of players I was really happy, yet concerned at the fact it was all gonna be PvP.
ToR.Elusory:
You went 0-2 and then 2-0 twice in a row. Walk us through your games?
VB.Enak:
First set vs ToR.Luneth felt really frustrating, Game 1 I made 2 massive errors that cost me the game. I scouted heavily for any proxy plays but then lost my probe before any ranged unit got on the field which left me in the dark. My robo was late and I missed my forcefield to keep his dts out, so lost Game 1.
Game 2 was really unlucky for me, I scouted my main base and natural for proxy gates and barely missed them by a hex or 2 with my scouting probe going to my 3rd, really messy start for me.
Second set vs AxS.Kite, Game 1 we both opened really similar. I got aggressive and ended up doing a lot of damage to his economy in the mid-game and sniped his main and 3rd within 20 seconds of each other which left him in a near unrecoverable position and I took Game 1.
Game 2 was tough, .AxS.Kite had adjusted really well from Game 1 and we ended up having a near 35 minute macro-fest with all bases being fought for with harassment from both players all over the place. I had the watch tower and the high ground, got a really nice engagement and it snowballed for me and was relieved to get the 2-0.
Third set vs ETL.NaMeK, Game 1 was close throughout the game, I harassed and did damage to get a narrow lead which lasted through the game, we both maxed out and were trying to find the best way to engage each other. While ETL.NaMeK went to deny my 4th, I managed to catch 3 colossus for free, trapped him and took a good engagement to get a 1-0 lead.
Game 2 was more of the same, early game harass from both players, killing off 5-6 probes each, my expansion was a lot quicker, eventually went all in off 2 bases and took Game 2.
ToR.Elusory:
That sounds very good for you. Any last words or shoutouts you would like to make?
VB.Enak:
I would like to thank Elusory and Dekid for organising this tournament and doing a great job. Where would I be without giving a shoutout to VB too? Love all you guys also, to VB.Inter, VB.Bandit and eMp.Infected for all the practice matches too, you guys are awesome! Go go VB! Also, shoutout to MTi players too, they're awesome!
Nope, this is not another Open. This is a brand new tournament related to . Ever wanted to play in a tournament with a Dual Tournament format in group stages, then advance with a close 2-1 win over your opponent to the next stage? Now is the chance for you to experience that as a player!
It has been a long time since there was something for the lads. Also, there has never been a big event for too. To keep the community motivated to play more, and in an effort to hopefully increase the overall skill level of , we have taken the initiative to host this tournament.
I don't say, do I? But yes, here comes the concern of ex-. We won't ban ex- from joining, but we will discourage the following group of people:
1. Been in WoL, but in the current season
2. Been in HotS Season 1 and/or Season 2. but in the current season
3. Smurfs who are on another account in the current season
in HotS Season 3 is still considered to be a player.
The argument of "Blizzard placed me in / and now I'm losing to them, but I was and I don't deserve to be there anymore " is simply not justified. Take time to read this:
In short, if you didn't ladder enough when you were during HotS Season 1 or 2, your MMR would have decayed and hence lowered you down to or . But hey, you aren't the only one who were inactive. There are definitely a lot of people out there who got in Season 1 and then stopped laddering because they felt they have already reached the pinnacle of eSports. I'm guilty of that also. So, most people that you're fighting at or right now are probably ex- too. If you're able to maintain a 60-70% win rate there, you're more or less considered a player.
In regards to smurfing, I wouldn't really be checking hard on to see if anyone is smurfing. I'd just go by suspicion then check on you if I think you're a smurf (i.e. no clan, macro better than Flash, micro better than JD, etc.) Do consider the following if you're thinking of smurfing in this no-prize-money tournament:
1. You may have won the whole tournament full of . You have gained your momentary recognition as winner of GPDL Season 1. But, when you have been discovered that you're a smurf, is it going to be that great after all? You can probably do that, but I would prefer the glory of winning the tournament going to someone who really deserves it.
2. If you want to feel good about beating up some , why not just hit the ladder with a fresh account (borrow from someone, hop on to another server) and get to ?
3. You're gonna have to devote yourself every single week till the end of the tournament. Because you're gonna win it all eventually right? Do not waste your time...

Just like Masters Cup, $10 will be given out to a random participant! Don't feel you're too lousy to join!
We have the rights to deny your prize if we have enough reasons to think you are smurfing / hacking.
Points will be given to determine future seedings in future seasons (yes, it will happen!), and possible cups here and there, which will definitely have a prize pool.
Wow, is someone gonna cast all the games live as the players are playing? How are we going to cover all the game?
Look back at the times when the games are played. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) for Ro32 and Ro16, players would only need to report the results and send in their replays, and the results will be posted here. Only a quick summary of what happened in each game (may not even happen) will be posted. Anyone can cast the games once the replays are out.
Skype groups will be created for each group and each new group in the Ro16. Players will be able to communicate with each other there and coordinate when they want to play the games out. Groups that do not finish their games will have the results automatically decided by seeding, unless it is an issue of inactivity where the lower seeded player have always been contacting the higher seeded player but to no avail.
From the Quarter Finals onward, games will be played live at the timing. It will be open microphone style like wT Weekly. There will at least be me casting. If we have more than one caster, we can allow more games to go on at once.
I hope none of you skipped any of those parts, because each section contains important information for the participants to know of (i.e. how to register, when is it). I apologise if the whole post looks very disorganised, or too organised (due to the sheer amount of spoilers).
Clan leaders, please help me spread the word to your clans if you see this!

I just want to confirm, since i am Canadian in a different time zone... did these need to be played on a specific day, or we would have a week to play our matches?
Reading further i guess that only is required for RO32 and RO16.
For the time being i would like to sign up based on the first two rounds are non specific dates and are based on "whenever we can get them done by X date".
Have been GM but kicked due to inactivity. If anyone knows anything about the masters/gm league on SEA you'll know it's pretty much the same skill level @ high diamond as it is at masters/gm. Hope I can still play. Would really love to be part of the scene.
