The Vods are usually updated pretty quick, something like 2-3 hours and sometimes 1 hour after the cast.

He wanted to open with Lurker drops but that was spotted and prevented, so he ended up with Hydra Den and no Spire which pretty much forced him to go for Lurker/Hydra composition to make use of all that gas at the time window when he was teching to Hive. It's actually a legit composition as long as you can Plague lots of stuff and your opponent doesn't switch to full mech (which I think Terror should've done in that game).

Set 1 was good and close, Set 2 Julia tilted hard, Set 3 was bad and one-sided, Set 4 was also bad but quite hilarious.
If only Terror could play more methodical Terran style, he would take this without losing one game, I think. But his style is sometimes so erratic and random, even such weird Zerg as Julia gives him hell.

People have different opinions on this, but I feel that overall problem is that non-Zergs don't have enough skill / guts / hand speed to harass and pressure Zergs enough, so their opponents Drone up too easily and win with sheer numbers. Plus there are many cool styles of play for this race in BW, it's hard to prepare properly for all of them.

TLS is foreigner only. Zerg is the easiest race, so there are a lot of foreigner zergs, and as a result, they crop up in TLS.
LOL get the fuck out.
Anyway, I really liked how Julia handled games 4&5, that was some nice stuff to see.
he's actually right; past a certain level zerg is the easiest race to play.
of course the biggest reason is that there are simply more zergs in the tournament to begin with, but part of the reason for the is that zerg is the easiest race to reach this level of play with.

Reading stuff like that in the Brood War section is really disappointing, especially coming from somebody with 10k posts :/
Is it just me, or was there some ling backstab of Technics' not shown by the observer? Sziky's major drone disadvantage seemed confusingly unaccounted for...

which race do you think is the easiest race to reach this level of play with? do you think it's exactly the same level of difficulty for each race?

Nope, it's more that Sziky invested all larva into Ling mass he used for his Muta/Ling attack and after Technics' Mutas won the air battle, the Lings died for free and Technics' extra Drones were those Larva counterparts of Sziky's dead extra Lings (I don't know if I'm making a clear point here, but I'm drunk so please forgive me this sloppiness).

Makes sense I guess, I just didnt realize he had that much more lings, because Technics seemed to have quite some himself. (7 drones would translate into 14 lings, and the difference didnt seem that big.)

Yup, the important issue though was that Muta and Ling battles were both at the same spot, so Sziky's Lings took much more Muta rebounds that Technics' (cause Technics had more Mutas) so Sziky lost probably 2-3 more Lings than he would've lost in a straight-up Ling battle. Could be a little mistake by Sziky but I guess he made a commitment to the attack anyways.
Thank you everyone involved in this and other Brood War related efforts. Congrats to all the players. And my god, it always amazes me how large the difference in skill can be Like Movie playing like his granny < Sziky << Movie playing crazy builds <<<< Movie playing seriously <<<< Movie from pro days << Flash, Jaedong... :D
Thanks a lot for awesome TLS2. I am quite glad that BW community is still living, I was really not hoping for something like this after last year end of BW proleague. Long live to TLS and SSL of course.
