Silly me for not having watched it before.
It was a pretty good show, especially after the ret's one. I've already seen the Artosis POV about Ret on the courage tournament and that he was playing some sort of a famous korean idol singer on the first round but i lost interest in the meanwhile.

Now i truely understand what's going on and it gets more and more interesting (maybe a lot of fillers but hey, there are fillers on every tv-series right ?).
But what made me wanted to write this blog down is how satisfying it felt for me as i'm watching the 9th episode where shark says : "go for carapace ultras" before getting speed. I can't tell you how many times everyone told me i was a fool trying to get it first before speed. Even though it doesn't matter as you'd get both upgrades if you can, but the itneresting fact was that hyung joon was in some serious troubles, yet Shark said himself to get carapace before speed.

I always trusted my guts, i knew that there was something not right when the ppl told me that i was a fool, but now i can truely quit this game with the greatest feeling i've ever had.

Hope you don't follow the "trends" and experience it yourself, even though it may takes more time. But never close your minds to everyone opinions. It could become your best arsenal you can come up with.

Shark is amazing. Mankind's gut is amazing. Always trust your gut.

Now go watch the 2nd season of Hyungjoon Forms a Game Team! and enrich your mind with gamers applying for a gaming team by having singing and dancing auditions!

There is no absolute answer. When you want to roam and attack bases in say zvp, speed is what you want. If you want to be able to defend against that terran when your ultras come out you want carapace.

Hyung-joon is awesome yea. On the ultralisk subject, unless you have a specific play in mind you want the carapace.

Edit: I don't recall which but day9 touches the subject in one of his dailies. A ZvT on moonglaive if I recall correctly.

Edit 2: Day9 Daily 9, I believe.

Oldboy was much more entertaining (and a lot less scripted), check that out if you haven't yet.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.
