It was still super horrible to listen to due to them getting the most basic strategic stuff wrong.

Mhmm I wouldn't know about that. I'm not that good at BW Let's just call it an improvement then in comparison to Season 1

For example? I haven't watched BW in a while so I might just be willing to accept stuff they say. Care to share what basic strategy they had wrong? Was it matchup specific or like map specific?

Things like proclaiming Larva was going 3 hatch muta in game 1 when he was having 1 gas and doing a standard spire rush to potentially kill any scouting corsairs. They even talked about it again later on as if the 3 hatch spire was something unusual.
Another thing was Larva taking his 3rd vs IamMang on Circuit Breaker in the natural expansion of another base, claiming it was too far away or something from his main (probably wanted him to take the mineral only or 12 o'click). While this is pretty standard, due to the right sim city making it relatively easy to defend the early zealot ambush and giving the Zerg a free 4th base.
There were a few others where I thought that it isn't quite right or nonsense but I don't recall the entire cast right now.

Yeah I agree but it's 2016 and we still have a BW Starleague so I won't complain too much.

Yeah I agree but it's 2016 and we still have a BW Starleague so I won't complain too much.
I mean, they are getting paid to cast these games, they could do their homework. Spend 2-3 days and watch a few games from the 2010-2011 ProLeague season on YT and you will see most of the builds already (coincidentally many maps are the same, so even better). They don't need to know what building to make at what supply count, but knowing basic stuff as mentioned above should really be mandatory.

i agree with everything you said good sir.
i mean artosis was all the time saying that he loved bw so much back in the day, it wouldnt hurt him to play 30 games, watch 30 reps, watch a few streams, and get his shit right, is not that hard to relearn whats is standard and what is not, the difference between 9pool or overpool,etc.
hey rawr can you look at the formatting of your OP's and fix it so that if i want to see the results of the polls i don't need to highlight all the text? thanks very much

well by miracle he was right about the circuit breakers game,is much better to take the mineral only vs 1 gate first.

yeah agreed, they have some wholes in their basic game knowledge, it would be relatively easy to be better informed for them.
EPT
Let's just call it an improvement then in comparison to Season 1
