MLG Columbus

[Turnip]

Anyone else watching this? I've been pretty busy, but I've been able to catch a few games throughout the weekend.

Button Bashers / Loaded Black are ridiculous with their CCs. And people said RMP was dead.

A ZSS/Ness team got second place in doubles! Screw Metaknights and Snakes.

The MLG Raleigh next... oh, guess where I live? >=]



Oh, and to be at least slightly on topic (or with the right video game)... where can I watch these arena matches? lol

RMP wins.

I'm enjoying watching the replays, mainly because I have never 'heard' what a super-high level arena match is like as far as coordination between members, calling things, etc.

I can't get the replays to load. All sorts of doom.

It should work fine, make sure you have Octoshape and Java downloaded.

They should be replaying the finals for a couple of days. Then VoDs will be out.

If you arena and you've never watched or heard top tier teams play, this is a really good watch. The announcers will explain alot of things that many people don't notice or see. I particularly liked the finals where CoL.Red was mic'd and you can hear Reckful yelling things.

It's cool to see how the best players map out their CC chains on the fly and time their burst accordingly. It's also pretty amazing to watch Loaded.Black / Button Bashers force trinkets then CC two of the three players at the exact same time. Numberone, the BB disc priest, ends up doing more damage than both of the other team's DPSers combined in quite a few matches.

The RLS mirror matches were pretty entertaining - it seemed like it was "Tunnel the Shaman! If not working try Rogue!" And the one that went to 20 minutes because it was LS v LS...

Fun to watch though, and like you said Turnip (not downplaying his partners' abilities at all, but) Numberone seemed to really make the wins for his team.

Saw some very good play, and some poor play. Skill-capped disappointed me a lot, but then again they where only there for marketing reasons.. Hoodrych's team played phenomenally well despite losing. Frankly Hood outplayed that RLS HARD but doesn't matter. RLS > WLD all day.

Finals where exactly what I wanted though. Reckful outplayed satz so stupidly hard it wasn't even funny, and frankly Venruki/Marma both played amazing as well. Problem really lied in Sodah, as they said he hadn't played RMP really yet this season, they didn't have the practice for it, and he was on a whole different class than he came in as, he had to adapt a lot. Frankly Complexity outplayed BB extremely hard in almost every match too bad red had to start behind =/
