[WNG] Weekly Open #5

Well, today has been a pretty big day for the team. I was delighted to discover that a few organisations were trying to get in touch with me today because they were wanting to sponsor the team! No time to waste! We're at the negotiating stage at the moment, but things are already looking bright.

Having just arrived home from work, I got started on the Twitch/Twitter page designs for the team. I realised (3 minutes ago) that the [WNG] $20 Weekly event was about to kick off, so YoonYJ and I have signed up at the last minute to participate. It's not a huge cash event, but there are an immense number of really good players competing in it - Pokerface, Danmate, Stallion, kez, tgun, MaFia, JaBiTo, yekke & techtron - just to name a few!

The brackets have just been published (and unfortunately they haven't randomised, so seeds are distributed based on who signed up first, eek!) and the stream is live, you can find the links below. Fingers crossed! Eek, my round 1 opponent is a GrandMaster Terran and we're playing Antiga first!



ROUND 1 (Bo1)
(T) Nv.YoonYJ 1-0 Techtron (Z)
(Z) Nv.Dox 0-1 Deneb (T)

Well, that was expected. Without any opportunity to warm up, I kinda just flailed around helplessly with 2000+ minerals in the bank whilst dying to a 2-Port Banshee. Woo! Hopefully YoonYJ has better luck!

ROUND 2 (Bo1)
(T) Nv.YoonYJ 1-0 HDLockeMD (Z)

ROUND 3 (Bo1)
(T) Nv.YoonYJ 1-0 yam (T)

ROUND 4 (Bo1)
(T) Nv.YoonYJ 0-1 Danmate (Z)

Watching YoonYJ in round 3 destroy his Terran opponent with pure Hellions and 400 APM micro was actually insane, hahaha. So scary. Danmate played an extremely strong game on GSL Daybreak, hitting YoonYJ at a vulnerable timing where he was trying to take his 3rd. Very impressive! He's now in the Ro4 (ZvZ) against Yekke, good luck Danmate!

Danmate:
 fuck, im shaking!
i didnt expect to win that game
