Rapid is so god damn annoying I switched the Korean cast and didn’t regret it but turned the whole thing off because the games were boring me. I know I speak for every sc fan in this day and age when I say the only cool thing I’m looking forward to coming up is the asl finals. Next time I will try the polish or German commentary. I like the fat little Asian though he seems alright.

I really wish Rapid would stop calling games so early. Even calling out who's ahead and who's behind is so painfully wrong or exaggerated sometimes that it undermines every other sensible comment and observation made afterwards.

For example, in Leta vs Modesty game 1, even after Modesty lost 5 drones or so to a single Vulture, it was still 1 base Terran vs 2 base Zerg, both with mediocre economy and relatively even armies... the game was far from being over or one-sided. When in doubt in those situations, it's probably safer to understate things than to overstate.

I don't mean to sound too harsh, every caster is doing a good job and the knowledge ceiling for Brood War is so high that it's impossible to know everything, and there's the pressure of talking non-stop during four hours on top of that, it's just this one point that keeps annoying me.
Anyway, good games, keep it up!

Wow really? I've watched BW for more than 10 years and did not know that lol

It slows attack rate by set values for all units.

What? Ensnare does not affect attack rate, only movement speed. It was pretty useless in this case, the marines were not moving anyway.

Edit: I was wrong lol, wtf it does reduce attack rate for marines by 18% apparently (by 42% if stimmed)

Rusty mechanics, weird builds, even weirder decisions - a recipe for entertaining if not high quality games.

Always funny to me when casters comment about how young Last is. I noticed Rapid said something about it today. Tastosis have done it before too, and it cracks me up because they have all said it at least once when Larva was still in the draw. None of them realize/remember Larva is younger.

First matchup was just Last outclassing JyJ at basically every turn.

While really really interesting and entertaining at times, Modesty vs. Leta was so frustrating, they were literally just sitting in their bases not engaging or expanding for up to 5 minutes. That became really really frustrating, do they not have multi-tasking enough to do something more? Expand, plant some random mines for vision, just, anything! So frustrating to watch. And I can't believe Best lost to this level of play.

The tentativeness and being way to safe when they had a huge lead just made the games feel so stunted.

Now, there were some great moments of play as well and it is always great to see some builds deviating from the normal builds so I enjoyed the night anyway. But so much frustration!

Gonna be interesting to see Modesty vs. Last lol.

Who was it that beat Snow in the qualifiers?
nah

Thats what I thought I remembered, but I just couldn't wrap my head around Snow losing to him.

Anyone who saw the games that can give me a link or a short breakdown?

Modesty vs. Best as well?

Thanks!

What the hell was Snow doing in that first game?

He had so many units not doing anything in defending that push, he was so sloppy with letting templars get killed by tank fire without getting any storms off.
Something must have happened?
nah

I'm not great at BW, but I honestly don't remember ever seeing a worse series in my entire life than Modesty vs Leta! Maybe it's because the last TvZ I watched was Effort vs. Flash but...wow.

You know, I heard that the leta vs modesty series was bad but I was curious. Turns out that's partially right, and partially wrong imo. The series could've been a lot better if the players actually expanded and kept the action going, but my guess is that both of them are really rusty. Leta's wraith micro did look decent though, and going for all those proxies lol. Felt like Modesty knew what he was going to do, going pool first in a lot of the games.

That queen too was a nice touch with ensnare. I'm not personally sure otherwise why Leta was so hesitant to expand, but I did like how aggressive he was trying to be, running vultures in or wraith to snipe drones then withdraw or deny mining etc... On the bright side, Last vs Modesty should be interesting though I expect Last to take it and Leta should handle JyJ imo so we can get another round of bizzare games! haha.
