It annoys me that even after all this time Tastosis haven't performed the pattern recognition task of realising that reaver shots that take a certain time to explode are essentially always duds.

On the other hand to be fair, this thing about a protoss face for the armour icon is blowing my fucking mind.

EDIT: Separate thought, Best has been really consistently good with his storms lately, not just in that last game.

I thought Best would win but not that easy. Was expecting a closer series than that. Modesty appeared to get his shit together after the initial cannon rush but he was so far behind by that point to.

Wow, what a display of complete and utter domination. Not the best games when entertainment value is the criteria but they are what they are.

Hopefully the next series would be closer

Queen ahead of Sharp in supply, and not due to any game-losing moves. Just macro and some good work with the mutas.

Having a hard time understanding the reasoning behind this defensive 5 rax that Sharp is trying to make work (and also tried against Modesty)

A poor engage from Queen that Sharp is totally prepared for.

And again. Queen's fourth also taken out by a drop. Sharp's looking good now.

Do you mean he should be moving out his marines across the map while trying to dance with the mutas, and he's instead just leaving them in his nat? With how good the muta micro he's been up against has been, it feels like it wouldn't matter so much whether he moved out or not.

5 rax was initially a response to muta control getting this good so terrans could still push out and gain map control

i feel he should either use the build for what its designed for or choose something else

might be wrong, obviously, these guys play on kr tv and i dont

Right I wasn't trying to suggest you're wrong, just clarifying. When I watch Sharp do it though, it just feels like he has less marines than others, or is just struggling more against the mutas, or I'm not sure what exactly.
