15:00
- Moon in tears during the press conference

14:38 - The crowd is celebrating Grubby winning the World Cyber Games the second time after 2008. The dutch orc player earns 19,000$ by beating Moon 2-1 in the Grand Finals. Happy won against HoT yesterday.

14:36 - Grubby opens the fight with a speed scroll. Moon is losing alot of bears and Grubby gets the DemonHunter down. The nightelf army can't fight the orc army and the building are destroyed. 4 Bears and the KotG are left for Moon - Grubby eats them with the Kodos. The KotG is ensnared but survives. Blademaster has been surrounded and killed. Level 6 on the Shadow Hunter - Keeper has been killed and Moon leaves the game with GG.

14:33 - Moons expansion is running - 75 supply and mass bears for the nightelf. Grubby tries to get single units and got three Kodo Beasts.

14:30 - Grubby took down the creepspot in the upper left corner and got a level 3 Shadowhunter already. Moon tries to expand near his mainbase. Gubby creeps a Mercenary camp and Moon tries to get a creep - Grubby uses hex on the DH and Moon has to tp out. Simultanously the KotG wanted to buy items in the Goblin Shop but the near orc amry forces Moon to buy another TP to survive.

14:28 - Grubby got a hero advantage and Moon tries to get the next level on the DemonHunter and the KotG plus finding a Pendant of Energy.

14:25 - Grubby caught the nightelf army by splitting the units. The DemonHunter gets a surround and dies, the BeastMaster has fallen too. Grubby is next to Moons army again during the creep. Moon got no TP and can fight with his bears.

14:22 - Moon is creeping a Gnoll Overseer Spot getting a low hitpoint DemonHunter - Grubbys Blademaster forces the DemonHunter to tp out. Moons KotG is out, the Blademaster is surrounded in Moons base and dies without a town portal.

14:18 - Grubby starts with the Blademaster in the upper right corner, Moon choses the DemonHunter as first hero in the lower left corner.

14:16 - Twisted Meadows is live!

14:15 - The deciding map will be Twisted Meadows - admins are in Grubbys cabine again and fix the last problems.

14:12 - Grubby tries to get some healing scrolls. Grubbys TC reached level 6. The next surround onto the DemonHunter - Moon has to write GG and both need another map to decide the World Cyber Games 2008.

14:10 - Beastmaster died directly in the fight and the Blademaster reaches level 6, the DemonHunter has been ensnared and won't survive - all nightelf heroes have been fallen during the fight. Moon uses the tavern again.

14:08 - Moon revives his heroes in the tavern - the tinker is directly atacked by the lvl5 Blademaster - staff usage saves the tinker. Moon moves his maintree to the gldmine at 6 o'clock.

14:05 - The fight begins without the help of the tinker, the BeastMaster is focused down but Grubby has major problems against the DotTs and has to tp out.

14:03 - Grubby tries to expand on the right side addng some Batriders to his army. Moon got three Healscrolls to counter the waves. The tinker went to far away from Moons army trying to harass the peonline of Grubby and gets ensnares - Tinker level 2 fell and the altar and moonwells are going to destroyed by the orc army.

14:00 - 60 Supply on Grubbys side and nearly level 5 for the TC, Moon still play a mixture of DotTs and Faerie Dragons - Level 3 DH, level 3 BM and a level 2 Tinker.

13:58Tinker Level 2 has been killed by Grubby after the usage of ensnare and wave - Moon buys Scrolls of Healing to counter the wave.

13:57 - Grubby is trying to go for some buildings in Moons mainbase without having a great success. TC & BM are already Level 3 - the first Faerie Dragons are on the way to Moons army.

13:55 - A big fight near the right health fountain. Grubby opens the fight with a wave and ensnare killing the Demon Hunter who had no Town Portal. Grubby focuses down some Talons - Moons DH is back already.

13:52 - Grubby takes down the Ogre Lord Spot by finding a legend doomhorn, Moon arrives in time and creepjacks Grubby - Cyclone and summons are dealing serious damage, Grubby has to run away from the Nightelf army.

13:50 - Grubby continues creeping for getting Level 3 on the Blademaster. TC is nearly Level 2 - Moon already got the BeastMaster and the Tinker, Master Talons are nearly upgraded.

13:48 - Two more surrounds against Moons DH, Grubbys Blademaster has to run away nearly dying to the Ancient War. Only 1 Hitpoint was left.

13:47 - Grubby surrounds the DemonHunter with his four Grunts - Moon uses the Invulnerability potion and escapes.

13:45 - Grubby takes the first creeps around the heal fontain, Moon is too late for harassing seriously. Moon creeps the left spot with his DH finding a greater Invu.-Potion.

13:43 - Moon takes the DemonHunter starting on the lower position, Grubby has chosen the Blademaster. Moon is going to creep the Gnoll Overseer spot near his base with the backup of his Ancient of War.

13:41 - Secret Valley is live now

13:38 - Grubby played Secret Valley yesterday agains HoT. It seemed to be his favourite map during the tournament and he won every game on SV. Like Moon played DotTs in the first map Hot did the same without having any chance against Grubby.

13:35 - Grubby got some problems with his hardware, a referee is trying to solve a sound issue already.

13:31 - Secret Valley will be the second map.

13:28 - Grubby is pressured. Moon expands as his normal goldmine runs out. The Hawk is now addi damage to Moon's pocket factory and dots. Moon is pushing Grubby's expansion with Pocket Factory and Grubby types GG, losing a game he seemingly was very close to winning!

13:26 - In a fantastic fight in Grubby's base, Moon turns the game around. The Demon Hunter got staffed in the very last moment. Grubby is at 19 supply, while Moon is 39. Fantastic battle, Moon looks like he is winning, unless Grubby can utilize his expansion.

13:25 - Grubby is leadig by 4 ood, and is going to Moon's base, but his units are pretty low so he has to port back. Grubby still has his expansion, but there is no gold line at the moment, so he doesnt have the advantage.

13:23 - Grubby is 4/4 on his heroes, and seemed to escape from the basetrading best. Moon is harassing Grubby's expansion, but Grubby focuses on battling Moon near the tavern. BM surrounded!

13:23 - Tinker is now level 3, BM level 4, Moon attacking Grubby's main base, Grubby trading bases.

13:21 - Once again Grubby goes to Moon's base, taking down the altar where Moon was trying to revive the Beast Master. It goes down just as Moon reaches his base, where he can see Grubby porting back. Moon has to revive the BM at the tavern. 

13:19 - Moon seemed to lose control over his units in the last battle, having placed his dots out of reach. Grubby has gotten an expansion up, while Moon has made moonwells again, now at 38/40 supply.

13:18 - Grubby takes down 3 more wells, and Beast Master goes down in Moon's base

13:17 - Moon has gotten out a Tinker and levelled it to lvl 2, but meanwhile, Grubby takes 2 of Moon's moonwells down, leaving himat 42/30 supply.

13:15 - Grubby and Moon fights at the top right creep-camp. As Grubby brings invul-potion on his BM to avoid being cycloned, Moon just cyclones the low main creep instead, denying Grubby the possibility to take it.

13:14 - DH is level 2½, but Grubby has level 3 for both of his heroes now.

13:12 - TC also reaches level 2, Moon is starting to pump out dots now. Moon has 29/50, while Grubby is 37/50. The Dutchman has also got his first Spirit Walkers out, while Moon has approximately 5 dots.

13:11 - TC for Grubby as 2nd hero. Beast Master is surrounded but gets out with a scroll of speed. DH lso low, Grubby chasing but cannot execute any of the Nightelf heroes.

13:10 - Blademaster gets level 2, Moon has chosen Beast Master as the second hero, and the Ancient of Winds goes up, meaning Moon will soon starting to pump dots out.

13:09 - Moon uses shadowmelt to block Grubby's grunts in the base. Moon has 20/50 supply, while Grubby is 29/30. Moon is almost Tier 2 and Grubby is also upgrading at the moment.

13:07 - Grubby gets +6 Claws for his BM, 26/30 supply for Grubby. Moon is pressuring Grubby in his base, with the BM being low.

13:06 - Blademaster for Grubby, DH for Moon, they are crosspositiond on Turtle Rock.

13:05 - Game 1 is now live

13:03 - If Moon wins, it will be his first WCG victory ever, while Grubby can take his second WCG title. The winner takes $19,000, while the loser is secured $7,000.

13:02 - The first map is Turtle Rock and is chosen by Moon it seems. Grubby has picked out Terens Stand if I could understand the commentators correcty.

12:58 - The players are currently setting up their equipment. It seems like there could be some slight delay. Both players look really concentrated. Like usually before a big match, Moon just sits still and stare out in the air, focusing on what lies ahead. Grubby is warming his hands and looks with a confident smile to the crowd before fetching mouse and keyboard again.

12:52 - While we are waiting for the match to begin, you can read BeeemIt's article about the match today. Grubby vs. Moon: Opponents for an hour

12:40 - Luxury wins the World Cyber Games 2008 in Starcraft without losing one map in the whle tournament. The second Korean Stork had no chance to win against the aggressive style of Luxury playing Hydralisks and Mutalisks  Strelok from MeetYourMakers already won the game for the third place yesterday.

12:10 - The StarCraft Final between Stork and Luxury has just begun. The WarCraft III Final will be played just after this game has finished.

Where is Nordahl, Luci and Susi, I WAND THEM BACK!!!!

Also, Grubby played excellent, but I wanted Moon to make it. =) But ok, Grubby could get not very much prize money later, so he deserves to make some. And Moon will get prize money at all other tournaments (his salary in MYM is the biggest I heard)
(8 months ago)  #117 xpr1mnt
 
So Grubby won WCG twice, Sky won twice, Moon need to win it twice, and some undead, like Susifer.
