Shoutcraft Invitational Tournament 4 - Groups Announcement

[lucyhorse96]

follow me on twitter @HorsfieldLucy just ask for a followback thanksss xxx

[XGuynFc]

ROMANIA NUMBER ONE

[Dantarn]

How come all tournaments are 1v1? I just think that it would be a nice change to see some 2v2s

[MrRaistlen]

@Dantarn For the same reason chess tournaments are 1v1. Starcraft is a 1v1 game just like chess. The team modes are just casual.

[Dantarn]

@MrRaistlen Fair enough, I just think that it would be neat to see Cloud and Idra vs Harpner and Socke

[bandeenje]

@huskerfrk1 why is germany the only nation with backbone? what is so bad about the uk, sweden, norway, or finland? europe does not sit on its laurels and expect america to solve its issues, but rather its issues are, specifically the most recent ecenomic crisis, caused by america.

[Mr11colek]

oh yes most people on earth are dumb what a well said statement facepalm.jpg

Why not get rid of comment sections then all you dumb people will have nowhere to argue

[zx0luke0cv]

I don't know why, but I personally LOVE clouds 'Zerg' style of terran play, when he does it :)

GO CLOUD!

[NotJaredT]

Damn, no Sheth. Let's go Ret!

[superbobawsome1]

socke is the best good luck socke

[MrSteakable]

Whats with all the American/European tension? Seriously, we are two powerful and respected regions that contribute alot to society as a whole, we shouldn't point fingers at each other (we all have them) like fricking 5 year olds!

[thesmellanator]

i gotta wake up a 2 am to cach this, im sleeping at 6pm... i don't care I WANT THIS TOURNEY

[nfire4]

TB sent me.

[Jspark143]

I got my energy drinks, I got my snacks, I have my computer connected to my big screen,I am ready to stay up all bloody night!

Star Craft II Shout Craft IV GO!

[bandeenje]

@drewface the hypocracy of america is what bothers most european countries first

[huskerfrk1]

@bandeenje the laziness and socialist line of thinking is what annoys americans about the euro's... oh that and the fact we have to fix the world's issues while you sit back and sit on your hands and point out mistakes like the monday morning quarterback europe is... seriously, if anyone in europe (besides germany) had a backbone, the world might be a better place.

[Emnelrith]

no mana :(

[mrjerrio1]

@swc1355 Yeah, see you at 2:00 as well.

[Thesamj007]

GL thorzain :D



[madrauk3495]

aw, Stephano is the only player i know :c

[TuckyAndrei1]

NightEnD FTW

[tobybthegreat]

Hope to see thorzain and stephano and also ret and grubby ^_^

[LePPoLePPo]

Why there's no EpicGuitar Solo? Oh w8, there is one in the background :D

[lime9391]

no tlo or white ra :(

[bendybow]

My tops are Thorzain, Ret and Stephano

[Drewface14]

I never claimed every American is good or that our government perfect but I think it is dumb that so many people are anti America when there are a lot of great things we develop. Yes lots of Americans are dumb but that statement is also true of most people on earth to think otherwise is nonsense.

[deathspade42]

@Drewface14 america(i am one btw) is 90% dumbass, 7% average, and 3% absolute fricken genious.

[Drewface14]

@deathspade42 lol i agree i think those percentages probably apply to people in general other countries need to stop acting like they any better

[EmperorofAwesome]

@Drewface14 thank you for finally explaining to everyone else that the dumbass americans on the web dont represent America as a whole and that we do good things an bad but who doesnt?

[RedSky1643]

@Drewface14 Yeah!

[bilalp1]

@Drewface14 try and  stop sopa first idiot.

[Dantarn]

@Drewface14 Not sure if this is right but wasn't Firefly made in America?

[xxChromeDaggerxx]

@Drewface14 main issue is that 99% of the americans who read your comment won't understand because their concept of the "world" is america... they dont realise there are 200 other countries

[Deceiver9811]

@xxChromeDaggerxx 99% is a gross over estimation. Though, sadly, there is truth to what you say, it's usually a result of incompetence, as opposed to arrogance.

[hanms86]

@Drewface14

I always found every race or nationality had generally good portion of people to be just as dumb as everyone.

[EpicCommentary101]

so yeah... Liquid'Ret FTW!

[Mrknowladge]

Rabid ClouD Fan boyism! If he wins this, make me a happy chappy :)

[HartAHart]

Im from US, don't care if they are all EU. I happen to like watching some of these guys play. So Im am goin with Thorzain or grubby or stephano.

[caskroth27]

ive noticed there arnt any English players :(

[swc1355]

2am start on US west coast and wont miss a thing, ty TB, keep em comin.

[superbobawsome1]

comon you socke

[ahkeelyu]

Ret, Thorzain, and Naniwa are some of the best foreigners and they're EU. Sen is also one of the best foreigners, and he's from Taiwan. Notice how none of those countries are US or Canada?

[TheBaconofWar]

@ahkeelyu Don't forget about Sheth, Tyler, Huk, IdrA, and scores of other players! US and Canada isn't the best, but remember, IdrA was one of the few foreginers to go over to korea for BroodWar, so don't cut us short

[Rko453]

Stephano best US ZERG!!!!!!!!!

[Praetorx14]

@Rko453 Stephano is French...

[lavit2099]

@milesroberts DDE and Socke had their rematch, it was called the SCi3 finals.

[menroflkuk]

ThorZain! <3 Go sweden!

[milescroberts]

Love the group format, despise the lack of Americans. Why no more returnees from previous tournaments? DDE and Socke deserved a rematch =)

[corneliusfingers]

Looking forward to this. I'm rooting for Grubby.

Go Grubby! Woo! :D

[lavit2099]

@DeliciousIcE132 Not only WILL Stephano win, he'll wave the American flag while doing it!

I know he's French, it's a joke that started back in IPL3

[DeliciousIcE132]

A frenchman will NOT win this english tournament!

[spiketheterror]

@DeliciousIcE132 lol we never know, he is pretty talented.

[Hazelhurstj]

best lineup yet tb

[vadrock]

I'll be tuning into this. Seems awesome. Keep up the good work ;)

[OneLittleThe]

wow...all god...

[Tuber12334]

Support this all the way. SCI allways were a Blast. sick Player Lineup can not start soon enough.

[PhoenixGodX]

hell yea!

[pwntehnoobs]

I didnt know their were good dutch player XD

[thelittlesaint91]

Thor-inzane will win EzPz

[KillZonne1]

NightEnD ftw cool to see all EU players

[re1gn1te]

Best non-Korean players are still from US/Canada.. just saying.

[Utubmusical]

@re1gn1te Just trollin'

[re1gn1te]

@Utubmusical Uhm.... Nope it's the truth haha.

[PUR3BLO0D]

@re1gn1te lol troll

[re1gn1te]

@PUR3BLO0D Clearly you don't understand the meaning of that word. Also what I said is true.

[PUR3BLO0D]

@re1gn1te You don't watch/play much Starcraft do ya son?

[re1gn1te]

@PUR3BLO0D I'm not your child, in fact I'm not a child at all. I don't play much anymore no but I do watch allot of sc2. If you would watch as much as me you'd understand how and why my statement was true. I guess if you'd go top three(one for each race) one would be European. Obviously if you have a top 10 that statement is untrue but you had no idea what I was implying by "best".

[PUR3BLO0D]

@re1gn1te I dont care what you are tbh ,and i can't be bothered to get into a protracted argument over this.However, i'm sure when you watch more SC2 and get over the continental butt love im sure you're victim of you will see that you are just plain wrong. :)

[re1gn1te]

@PUR3BLO0D Then why call me something I'm not. Maybe when you stop being so ignorant you'll understand that the statement is true and that you just can't understand why with your current knowledge.

[lejonbrand1]

damn,,, typical.. SC4 is the same evening i have a date... :(

[TheBambusss]

@lejonbrand1 Watch SC4 with her ! I can guarantee you that she never went to a date like this. ;)

[poormanlat]

Give me russian caster !!!!!! Hireling in particular He is da best!!

[hadders08]

Is anyone apart from grubby in team grubby? Lol grubby is one of my favourite players purely because he has his own team ^^

[ChaoticPoint]

stephano <3 love his play :)

[kgceltic555]

woot stephano

[Grhymtv]

Stephano, one of my favourite European zerg players! =)

Thorzain! <3 Team Mouz

[Hudraify]

Thorzain will own them all with one hand. Perhaps he will play with his feet if he feels like he needs a challenge.

[PUR3BLO0D]

@Hudraify So kinda the opposite to what happened @ Homestory lol?

[ReachForgeNetwork]

OMG YES CLOUD :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Bjoernzor]

THOOOOORZAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNN

[jinxshaddix]

I am wondering where two players has gone? ORB "the nerd rager" I know his stream got shut down due to him streaming Zombieland. But haven't seen him at all since Beta. Also, TheLittleOne. He got some nerve damage to his hand didn't he? He was on some tournament a few months ago, but haven't seen him either. My top 2 players have vanished.. *sad

[rawrnomnomnomgrrrrrr]

@jinxshaddix Not seen TLO??? Have you not looked at TL in over 6 months?

[celticfan159]

@jinxshaddix No idea who ORB is, as for TheLittleOne (TLO), he streams regularly and is still a member of Team Liquid. He's training up before going to korea, and plays zerg now. check out team liquid for his twitter and team liquid fanpage.

[Alexandterrara]

TB is it possible to invite more "dark horses"? There are so many pros out there who need their spotlight but they just need a small victory to encourage them to go on seriously

[spenky]

NightEnD FTW!!!! :D

[TheXxXDarkhunterXxX]

next SCi i want to see naniwa XD!!!!!1

[TheReallydontcare]

@TheXxXDarkhunterXxX He's asked to get in so you will

[TheXxXDarkhunterXxX]

@TheReallydontcare yay



[SeuGualda]

Grubby.Grubby = Grubby²

[sqbi87]

OMG EPIC GROUPS !!!

[MrAlexs888]

Grubby is dutch?

[kilinto26]

I am hoping this tournament doesnt get me in trouble my first child is due Jan.17th and if my wife goes in labor early meaning i miss the childs birth because i am going to watch stephano i will be sad with you mr TB



[adikid89]

Invite Leenock? I'd love to see more of him.

[IdiotequeSoptippen]

[HOCgaming]

[TheCountCagliostro]

[lookitsmyvideo]

Stephhhaaaaannoooooo

[Kazuko20]

Dear God, please tell me the SCI5 is in a UK barcraft!

[SwordSaint550]

@Kazuko20 Hell, I just wish we had Barcrafts over here at the Basque Country. Sounds like a really cool idea. =(

[GamesAreWin]

GRUBBY! Yes!

[88Spint]

4th time this is done, 4TH TIME! Totalbiscuit i love you for doing theese, i love the players that play in theese, i love that theese tournaments are having some of the best entertainment in any of the cups/tournaments/invitationals and so on :)

Thank you TB!

If it wasnt for you this whould never happen!

FOR E-SPORTS!

FOR TOTALBISCUIT!

[walkongrass]

Go Cloud Go! In bocca al lupo :-D

[jpshuijb]

time for some Ret Revenge

[EdgeyForSure]

please at the end of the Tournament, or at the begining, do a 4 v 4 for fun :P

[jaman4dbz]

@EdgeyForSure So epic.

[NewAnarchy88]

I love SC2 ... and this is so awesome

[Drewface14]

Why are people so against America in the comments.  You are watching Starcraft which is made by an American company. The game is played on apple and pc American companies. You are watching on Youtube which was created and maintained by an American company. Hmmm maybe you guys do enjoy America's contributions to the world?

[jordzkie05]

@Drewface14 oh shut the fuck up.

[TheTollFace]

@Drewface14 Nobody likes america

[Silovka]

@Drewface14

No one cares about your nationalist feelings. Why don't you go and invade Iran or some other nation, you disgusting warmonger.

[Triforce4ever]

@Drewface14 we dislike america becouse appearantly, when a single american company or person does something good, every single worthless person in america claims the prestige of it, dispite having nothing to do with any of it :P

[Realthx]

@Drewface14 About 50 americans made those things, i doubt you were any part of it so shut the hell up

[PUR3BLO0D]

@Drewface14 It's kinda like liking Metallica's music, its great music , but its still made by a bunch of cunts.

[TheBrownestBear]

Wow 2 top comments as replys.. ;_;

[khronos08]

Hell yeah an romanian starcraft player in th tournament.

[TViPx]

@khronos08 Hell yeah TWO dutch players in the tournament!

[everlongz0r]

I was hoping for Snute! :(

[TheEelt]

Go go Netherlands!

[SUR3ND3RNL]

@TheEelt FTW



[TheBzlai]

Fml have to wake up at 2am over here in Pacific to watch... BUTIT WILL BE WORTH IT WOOT

[VortexxEntertainment]

WHY NO IDRA!?!?!?!

[Vitzartti]

@VortexxEntertainment DAMN STRAIGHT!!

[Picasso43967]

@VortexxEntertainment

He's in Korea...

Same reason for no HuK or Naniwa.

[TheBzlai]

Stephano has the Apple of Eden.

[IMBIue]

My prediction, Thorzain or stephano will win the whole tournament. I don't think Grubby is that good, yet.

[RyanCostello1000]

Nani doesn't want to play because of the tournaments prestige, he wants to play because it's an online tournament with a 5k prizepool, tips and you get paid right away :P

Also, PLEASE GET BOXER FOR SCI5 D:

[Chalkmaster01]

Please put SCI5 in a bar in London!

[WishbackJumpsta]

@Chalkmaster01 or at the university of lincoln student bars!!!

[stevenB943]

I WILL! Be at that Barcraft!

[tangodale]

isnt nightend also in korea so will need a server swap?

[xXGH6FanXx]

wow 2 dutch people! i'm proud of my country :D

[artspret1]

w00t nederland ik ga dit zeker kijken XD

[TheBzlai]

ROBOANNOUNCER! WOOT

[Macheathz]

HuK... <3!

[ufftatabummbumm]

lol at top comments

[Blasthood]

Problem America?

[AndreasFjordstig]

I do not agree with Dullface! TB and apollo is a fantastic combo. TB is a real entertainer that makes you laught and apollo is one of the best Starcraft analists in the world, the combo is uniqe and creative. Keep rocking together Apollo and TB!

[Mausismi]

@AndreasFjordstig Im not sure should I start battling with you in order to discuss the possibilities of other casters such as Day9 or artosis being better analysists, or should I make a witty comment about you saying anal. Oh to choices of life.

[darkwrecker1]

2 people of the netherlands yay :) (doe je best zal ik maar zeggen liquid en grubby)

[BraydenJMiller]

Do TB and IdrA not like each other?

[0ld1eye]

@BraydenJMiller Well IdrA doesn't like anyone, and TB doesn't like anyone without manners, being a brit and a gentleman, so it wouldn't surprise me.

[Careohx]

There arent any top american players(except Idra) unfortunately.

[Londron]

@Careohx

HuK played better then Idra this year(unless you mean US instead of American)

[MrMilan90]

Omg where is group 3 ???

[0ld1eye]

What? EU tournament without WhiteRa?!? :(

I want my special tactics!

[TheBart1094]

socke i hope he wins^^

[CharlesOneOfAustria]

No spaniard? I go with France. Va te fair cuir un ouef!! Stephano FTW.

[arjanboogaart]

Group 2 Looks a bit more spectacular to me, but that's just because i want either Ret of Grubby to win.

[acidthumbs]

No white-ra =( to bad. Can't wait though.

[dropsforahotstone]

the lineup (bracket) is good-- but i guess i´ll miss it

[TotalBeaver]

Thumbs up for NightEnD !!

[lineage254]

@Dullface apollo is a really god ANALYTIC CASTER he is her to analyse the things that happen in the game that is is job talk a loot of technical  stuff to the people that understand what he said so he is a god caster at least for me if u don't understand well that not is problem

[SinisterGrapefruit]

@Dullface Less entertainment, more serious analyzation.

[MalevolentVergil]

@Dullface That was dull. He's a really good analyst, not to mention - a brilliant coach: some people from gold thanks to him get to diamond/ even masters. There are reasons people are willing to pay him 50$ for hour of coaching. Too bad scrubs like you are too full of themselves.

[freakyplatypus]

@Dullface i don't see you put up any better presentation of a good commentary of SC2, btw Its okey to not like things its okey just dont be a dick about it its okey to not like things !!! (or casters) just dont be a dick about the things you dont like

[pieterkbos]

I think groups are decent

[PibsterPewPew]

oh and totally going to SCI5 :D

[thehumor]

yreaah 2 dutch!

HOLLANDERS VERTEGENWOORDIG

[PibsterPewPew]

i think stephano is gonna win this hands down, he has just been on the up for so long

[lineage254]

holy hell i want to see stephano vs ret AGAIN!!!!! GOGOGOGOGOGO or a night vs ret :O

[Jamzooo]

Why is Apollo in Sweden?
