SiCkO Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) [center][img]http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc440/CNStarleague/CNSLSeason1ro8poster.jpg[/img][/center] The stage is set. 8 players are left in the Quarterfinals of the 1st CN Starleague, all fighting for a chance to claim the top prize. The matchups are as follows (all games are Best of 5): [center][img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2P_small.png[/img]SiCkO vs [img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2P_small.png[/img]The Black Watch[/center] Match Date: TBA [center]Map List:[/center] [spoiler] [center]<[u]Metalopolis[/u]> <[u]GSL Crevasse[/u]> <[u]Delta Quadrant[/u]> <[u]Xel Naga Caverns[/u]> <[u]GSL Crossfire[/u]> [/center] [/spoiler] SiCkO has played extremely well coming into this, however, his luck with the seeding has helped him significantly. It will be interesting to see how he fares against a player who is a very good mirror player and a very confidant in his abilities. Prediction: The Black Watch 3-1 [center][img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2P_small.png[/img]Skap Q vs [img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2T_small.png[/img]Crowdog[/center] Match Date: TBA [center]Map List:[/center] [spoiler] [center]<[u]Blistering Sands[/u]> <[u]GSL Taldarim Altar[/u]> <[u]Shakuras Plateau[/u]> <[u]GSL Terminus[/u]> <[u]Steppes of War[/u]> [/center] [/spoiler] Crowdog's play is very solid, his timings are very precise and shows and understanding of the Terran race that has earned him a trip to the Quarterfinals. His opponent however, is miles above any player he has faced yet. Skap Q is a player that has blown through a strong field in Crellos and The Black Watch to land himself in a perfect position to win this tournament. He is a strong favorite and don't be surprised if he goes all the way to the finals. Prediction: Skap Q 3-1 [center][img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2P_small.png[/img]BladeX vs [img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2T_small.png[/img]Pike[/center] Match Date: TBA [center]Map List:[/center] [spoiler] [center]<[u]Lost Temple[/u]> <[u]GSL Aiur Garden[/u]> <[u]GSL Terminus[/u]> <[u]Xel Naga Caverns[/u]> <[u]Metalopolis[/u]> [/center] [/spoiler] If there was a player that could beat Lord Brendan, it would be BladeX, Expect him to bulldoze over SiCkO's teammate Pike en route to a showdown with the him. Prediction: BladeX 3-0 [center][img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2P_small.png[/img]Lord Brendan vs [img]http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/SC2T_small.png[/img]Stealth[/center] Match Date: TBA [center]Map List:[/center] [spoiler] [center]<[u]Scrap Station[/u]> <[u]Delta Quadrand[/u]> <[u]GSL Crevasse[/u]> <[u]GSL TalDarim Altar[/u]> <[u]Shakura Plateau[/u]> [/center] [/spoiler] If there is a match to watch, it's this one. Lord Brendan is the premiere favorite, a dominating player who easily ran through his group. Stealth however, is by no means an easy challenger. A scrappy player whose last set stunning victory over Stalk earned him a trip to the Quaterfinals, stealth brings a grit and determination to this match, so be prepared for anything. Prediction: Lord Brendan 3-2, with an epic game 5. Break down of the remaining players: [img]http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Picon.png[/img]Protoss - 5 (62.5%) [img]http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Ticon_small.png[/img]Terran - 3 (37.5%) Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations - 2 The Order of the Paradox - 2 The Resistance - 1 Mushroom Kingdom -1 New Pacific Order 1 Tetris - 1 [center][size="4"][b]Interviews:[/b][/size][/center] [b]Stealth[/b] [spoiler] [center] [img]http://forums.cybernations.net/uploads/av-3666.gif[/img] [i]The Pacifican Hellion[/i][/center] Q: Congratulations on Making the Quarterfinals! [b]A: Thank you [/b] Q: How do you think the Round of 16 went for you? [b]A: It went alright, I think I really could have done better in some of the matches. [/b] Q: You seem to love to hellion drops first. [b]A: The Hellion is a sick unit,they help me put pressure on my opponent, and if you don't seem them coming they can do some very horrific damage to your economy. [/b] Q: So you would be called the "Hell Terran"? [b]A: (Laughs) I guess so [/b] Q: Probably your most talked about set was your game against Stalk on Shakuras Plateau, can you tell us what was going through your mind at the time? [b]A: During that match it was going pretty bad for me, I just sucked. There was a point when I just didn't know what I was doing so I just started attacking rocks then my army got raped (Laughs). So he then proceeds to break into the back of my base and does a ton of damage to me so I'm thinking im pretty much out at this point, but then he leaves my base. So i think this is my lucky break I use the huge amount of cash I have on barracks and marines and I'm like, $%&@ it lets roll. [/b] Q: It was a very impressive win. [b]A: Well all in all it was a pretty epic ending, but it was just luck and upgrades that got me the win. [/b] Q: You are matched up against Lord Brendan, the highest ranked player in the CN Starleague, do you have any thoughts on the upcoming match? [b]A: I'm about to be steam rolled but I'm sure as hell going to try. (Laughs) [/b] Q: Good Luck in the next round! [b]A: Thanks [/b] [/spoiler] [b]BladeX[/b] [spoiler] [center][img]http://rav.shishnet.org/BladeX.png[/img] [i]I'm Nervous, but confidant[/i] [/center] Q: Congratualtions on making it to the Quaterfinals [b]A: Much Appreciated! [/b] Q: How do you feel the round of 16 went for you? [b]A: I thought it went well, despite playing against such good players (Stalk and Stealth), but nothings easy. [/b] Q: Who do you feel is the scriest player you will have to play in the tournament? [b]A:Lord Brendan and Stealth, then again everyone on that list is probably scary. [/b] Q: With the large amount of Protoss players in the tournament, do you think we will be seeing a lot of rushes/cheese? [b]A: Most likely, I haven't seen much PvP games last long (Luaghs) [/b] Q: Your oppenent coming up is Pike, do you have any thoughts on the matchup? [b]A: Well, I'm definitely nervous, especially when I havent seen any matches from him. [/b] Q: If you win which prize are you choosing, the tech or the money? [b]A: I wouldnt know, I'm so bad at CN I constantly ask my alliance mates on what to do.(Laughs) [/b] Q: Any shout outs? [b]A: Yeah, I wanna thank my family, without em I wouldnt have been born, I wanna thank Blizzard for making awesome games, and Tetris for being my home on CN.

Weren't there like 3 zergs in round 1? eh either way I don't think it's out of the question to say it's suuuper tough for zerg to beat toss. And I've got a p solid tvz build so they're UP against me too. Thanks though! Lord knows I need the help ha. Also, GSL Terminus that map bites dicks for Terrans.

Lord Brendan Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 CSN, representing. I'll see you in the final Black Watch. Although I feel the description of me as the favorite is somewhat premature, two of my opponents defaulted so I only played TailsK. I'll have to play a few games on the GSL maps, haven't yet. When will the times be decided? Quote
Skap Q Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Crowdong (Mushroom Kingdom) vs SkaPunk (the Lost World) at 12:00 AM CST. SickO will probably be casting it live on justin.tv/nervesherlock for those of you who want to watch us go at it. Quote
