- Kills multiple probes with vultures - Scouts 2 base Carriers - Kills first reaver taking 0 losses - Proceeds to go for 2 base 5 fac push vs a Protoss going 2 base carrier and doesn't manage to take the natural - Poor Goliath micro the whole game Sharp really should have won that with the 2 fac push. No discredit to Snow though he's a beast | ||

At some point I almost had a seizure after seeing this for the umpteenth time. Props to Snow for consistently positioning his carrier/goon force optimally though. Just outside tank range, dive on the goliaths if you hear an unsiege, use terrain fully for carriers, micro them excellently. Although Sharp did throw stuff in the games, Snow played him into this. I don't think it was mere competence, more like excellence. I wouldn't want to rob him the credit. A Terran fan here. | ||

I agree usually I root for Zergs because I enjoy watching ZvP & ZvT. For me watching game 1 & 2 Sharp wasn't in bad position and sometimes had the advantage. However once the carrier count got above five he basically just rallied units to their death for the rest of the game. Felt like watch a boxer get pinned in the corner for a few rounds till he throws in the towel not like a back and forth bout. | ||

It looks to me that there aren't any more such all around excellent terrans such as XelloS, iloveoov, fantasy, etc. /not counting Flash obviously, as he is the 4th race.. :D | ||

He had to cast some games in ASL 5 I believe, we knew he wasn't knowledgeable, since he came from SC2, so we cut him a lot of slack - well, at least I did. He seemed like a smart guy, he asked the right questions and he was thinking on his feet, trying to make out stuff logically based on general RTS experience. That was great back then, actually he was refreshing. He does not seem to be improving. He still seems smart, but he lacks very, very basic knowledge again, and this is disappointing. If he is to be a BW caster, even a b-liner, it's a matter of personal pride to catch up a bit. The game has loads and loads of intricacies on this level, he can't learn them all and I believe most of the forum won't make that subtle a difference, myself included. We're talking pretty basic stuff here. I wish he would read this and use his fairly decent talent more purposefully. And Rapid is cool. Yea, we can't always like him being overenthusiastic, yeah, he lacks some knowledge too, but he definitely is improving. I prefer a calmer and more focused caster, he is sometimes way too quick to judge the outcome of an engagement, but I guess he'll put some brakes on excessive enthusiasm. It's still a cool style of casting. Keep it up, guys, improve. | ||

Of course you didn't know very much about the game (but I will say at times you correctly judged pretty difficult situations, which might have been a bit of guessing on your part or maybe you have good intuition for RTS games -- anyway I digress). The moment you made some pretty simple mistakes with unit names and other things, I knew there would be people who troll you, so I wanted to say please don't over-listen to them. I almost didn't say anything, because I'm not one to really post anymore, but I'm sure there are others like me that really enjoyed your casts. Please watch more BW, and I'd really like if you casted more games. I love Tasteless and Artosis, but for some reason I just really enjoyed your style and hope you do more.

Noregret definitely has what it takes personality-wise to be a nice complement to Rapid. He just needs knowledge and we (his critics) would like him to try harder. That's all. | ||

there's things called visas. living arrangements. job security. if it was up to me, i'd pack my bags and move back to korea to do brood war commentary. but the reality is, i'd be going into an uncertain situation and it wouldn't be financially feasible to do so. rapid and noregret would be the first people to agree that i'd do a much better job than them in terms of game knowledge for brood war commentary, but its just not realistic. if you don't like the commentary, just mute it or watch the korean stream - simple as that. | ||

I'm obviously just a small community caster, but Rapid is kind enough to cast with me at 4AM often times 3 times a week and he makes the experience for me super awesome. He's a great guy and a great friend. You guys need to remember Rapid casts not only Broodwar, but he casts like 8-9 other games or something and he has knowledge about every single one. His HGC casts recently were great too. Please if you're going to give criticism make sure it's actually constructive. Telling people they suck and are awful not only makes you look like an idiot but it also can hurt people. Yes these people are on a big stream casting for your entertainment, but those entertainers are people too and yes, you don't have to like everyone, but if you've got nothing nice to say why say anything at all? | ||
