I like Cadenzie. It's neat to have someone who knows a lot about zerg for the zerg matchups. She's pointing out a lot of subtle things in the zerg matchups that I'd never noticed before. | ||

Personally also really excited to see forGG again, hope he can go deep into the tournament (although don't think he will  )edit: also Larva must be the one zerg that never really accomplished anything despite his huge reputation...seems he has some great games sometime, but can't play consistently on that level... | ||

She did well for being a rookie but admittedly does need to work on her voice projection a bit I think. | ||

Also I dont give a shit if cadenzie was quiet, I have volume control on my computer. I always have to turn up the volume for twitch anyway. What I cant control is how much she brings to the cast, which I thought was more than any of the previous english casters in terms of both game knowledge and pro scene knowledge. She wasnt boring either, you dont have to be high energy to be entertaining. It was very refreshing to have two people who actually play the game at a decent level talking about it, rather than a dumbed down "explain like I play sc2 not bw" cast which we frequently see, or one in which artosis has to correct the other caster on their lack of knowledge constantly | ||

Anyone have recommendations for good games to watch from the VODs? The most interesting games (besides Action/Jat 30min ZvZ, take that one as you will) were only interesting from one player's perspective: Zer0's series against Movie and Stork's game 2 vs Bishop, which demonstrated mastery from the winner without the loser's messing up very much. Also count me in the pro-denzie camp. It is really nice when Artosis has an analytical equal beside him rather than a hype person. | ||

Loved CadenZie's input on strategies and build orders. One note: I feel bad for Larva for not qualifying. This guy has had to play ZvZ's competitively about 80% of the time in the last 2 years at least. That's very unlucky for a macro-based player like him. Generally I also dislike the current race balance at the top. With Flash pretty much not playing anymore and Last having constant health issues, Mind being awol, we get a huge amount of Zerg's in this next season. Group distribution will be more important than ever. Actually the only race that looks very healthy is Protoss for the upcoming months. With Bisu coming back soon and the other top4 protosses we have a super high level lineup with good diversity (great pvz-ers and pvt-ers). | ||

Jaedong doesn't really seem to be strong enough to win a championship recently and I'm not sure how much Last can hold on considering his wrists problem, so I'm rooting hard for the Protoss pack; Sharp eventually getting a well deserved victory would be a nice conclusion of this KSL, too. | ||

Afaik Flash has the best deal with Afreeca that one can get when it comes to what percentage of balloon donations he is allowed to keep. Part of that deal is probably that he is not allowed to participate in something sponsored by a competitor like twitch. He did also not participate in ASL 7 due to his writsts, so it might just be that. | ||

He's playing 5-6 hours a day against the top pros at a very high level, I doubt that his wrists are that much of an issue for him as they are for Last. Last literally cheesed at 240APM in ASL because he couldn't play properly. | ||

And IIRC Last was rocking 300+ apm for his five-game series against Sharp and Rain. And his macro definitely didn't look like it was suffering. He did have to cheese in his group, he said as much himself in his interview before the finals, but then he provided like he used to before. | ||

That's because he realized he couldn't go further playing that way and resorted to injections to kill the pain. His conditions are still probably more worrying than Flash's. | ||
