I love that starcraft add so much.

I'm surprised to see Mind 2-0 up at the moment. I though SoulKey would have an easier time than this.

Second game was sloppy from Soulkey, first one was a well-executed rush.

Soulkey is third in sponmatch Elo-ranking. He has over 1300 Elo-points so he certainly plays alot and wins alot

Ehh sloppy or not, 2nd game was more of a build order loss imo

He lost every single engagement. It's difficult to even call it a build order loss.

Wow soulkey. That ling drop/muta attack in the final game. Wow. After fighting your way back from a terrible start with some excellent muta harass, splitting, even scourge snipes on vessels. What a fitting way to close out the series.

EDIT: JieXian you think Gclef plays brood war? It doesn't sound like him or rapid play, at least not to the extent where they know builds and timings. They do a decent job with the basics of casting, no dead air or inappropriate content like fighting or talking over each other. But the more technical commentary and self deprecating comedy of tastosis is sorely missed. I'm sure there are qualified casters out there that could take the place of rapid, gclef and that fat pale millenial but I don't know if they could travel or dedicate the time to cast these matches, or even if there's a way to contact whoever is employing these guys.

EDIT again: To be fair I think NoRegret would be great with a little more BW knowledge, I'm sure his SC2 casting is very good, rapid's may be as well.

I like Rapid but he still misjudges situations a little too much and has to correct almost immediately after when he sees the situation playing out differently.
He'd be world class if he just had a little better gut feeling, idk how to explain it..

I think he doesn't know enough about the game yet, he makes certain assessments wrongly that you and I won't make but it should improve with time given how much effort he is putting into improving. He has already improved a lot from the first time I had watched his casts a few months ago.

I don’t get how zergs keep dying or take large amounts of damage from 8 rax. Why do they fight so hard for the natural? Jaedong played against 8 rax the correct way in the finals (until he lost his lurkers). BBS can kill you sure, but I really think you shouldn’t be dying to an 8 rax when you’re playing anything less greedy than like 3 hatch before pool lol.

Yeah definitely. It also must be noted that casting and assessing situations is mentally taxing in itself. You're basically trying to entertain and be knowledgeable at the same time. That's a lot of pressure to handle. It's much easier to sit on the couch and take in what's going on.
I just internally sigh when I hear him say one thing and then a few seconds later needs to do a complete 180, but I dont really hung up on it
