Hmm I think since Zergs got good playing 5 rax + 1 Terrans have been trying gas builds to throw Zergs off which is why you see so many mech builds. And mech builds have been so refined now that they are somewhat viable even against aggressive openings. Like building just 1 marine which was never seen in the past iirc. | ||

The cast was good and it definitely got better as it went along! There was a good dynamic of creighton asking questions and giving cadenzie a chance to talk about the matchups, i can't emphasize how nice it is to hear it from a zerg perspective. I know he's a SC2 caster and starting out with BW, but he's got a pretty well refined presence as a caster and with some more BW experience under his belt I'd be super glad to see him back. | ||

You realize that we are looking at a potential of 11 pvp matches in that ro16 group? This is a travesty for the viewers. It's so ridicolous. Not only can he manipulate his own group, but even sabotage his rivals by tampering with two other groups than his own. So many seasons in the ro16 we repeat this sort of thing where two groups are good, two groups are laughable. So not only is it unfair to bestow the current champion with this advantage, but it is also damaging for the viewers. | ||

I think Larva in a lot trouble: 1) If he gets Mini on Block Chain he's done 2) Unredictable ZvZ vs. one of the consistent zergs Action 3) Monster TvZ terran Light. Group C: PvP fest. I think Stork has an upper hand here but Rain, Snow and BeSt aren't forces to joke with. Group D looks like cakewalk for FlaSh, only force is SK. I'm not that convinced about Sacsri even if he won his group by defating FlaSh, IMO he got lucky. Group A (head): Last, Sharp. Group A (heart): Sharp, Rush. Group B (head): Mini, Action.

Then it's ever better and exciting and of course unpredictable. I get that Stork is back and everyone is excited about it, it's even likely he is favored to advance over Snow and Best, but over Rain, the king of PvP? Also, group A should be easy for Last but Sharp's weak TvZ makes Zelot a respectable opponent. Overall, I tend to agree with you but my heart says Mini, Larva from group B(maybe my head too) and Best, Snow from group C(but that's almost impossible). | ||

Not too happy with the casters, I ended up just watching the Korean stream. I'm not trying to be a hater but when I watch casters other than Tastosis they just don't have that level of professionalism, polish, and game knowledge that makes it so entertaining to listen to. More professional SCBW casters other than just Tasteless and Artosis would be so awesome. Cadenzie seems like she has some game knowledge but her delivery is rather lackluster, she sounds like an amateur streaming on twitch rather than a professional commentator. Cadenzie is doing fine, improving from one cast to the next. She does also provide the knowledge, and even thought her co-caster was not on top of bw-related matters, he did do a decent job by asking her questions about what was happening, thus 'complementing' her in this cast. Cadenzie plays at the top level in league(s) now, lives in Korea, and is rapidly improving her skills and getting to know other progamers on a personal level, just as Tastosis have done in the past. So IMO they both can have the same level of 'game knowledge', but Tastosis have been casting and casting ASL in particular since the get go, therefore they have a lot more relations & experience in the specific caster-situations. It's not easy to please everybody so if you have listened a long time to Tastosis then perhaps a word of advice: Be more patient before commentating stuff like this. Especially that last sentence: 'she has some knowledge bla bla', kinda tells me that you do not know of Cadenzies or her skill level in general, and when you are uninformed, perhaps its better to NOT voice your opinion to the world, when clearly YOU are the amateur? Atleast be more detailed when critizizing. It's a 20 year old game, be happy there still are casters providing english content & commentary. Or go do better yourself :-) Second time now (commentating on other posters before the games) but this stuff really irritates me... I think the last group had decent games, Best was in Be(a)st mode! My predicitons for Ro16: Group A: Last & Zelot Group B: Mini & Action Group C: Rain & Snow Group D: Flash & Soulkey | ||

It's really a pity with all those tosses in one group. Only one of Best, Stork and Snow will get through. They're all great players to watch. Best vs Stork is a toss-up (...), and the winner will face either Snow or the loser in the final match. I'm guessing Rain/Stork for this one. Group A is a walk in the park for Last, and it shouldn't be much of a problem for Sharp either. He shouldn't have any problems taking out Rush or ZeLot in a best of 3. In group B, Action is looking strong. Larva has some problems vs Protoss so he will probably face Light in the losers' match, which I think he can win, and then either Mini (in which case he'll lose) or Action (in which case we'll have an epic ZvZ final match with perhaps the two best ZvZ players). Probably Mini/Action will make it out. | ||

On the other hand, it was obvious that the bald guy knew nothing about StarCraft, and while he did good banter all his game commentary boiled down to him asking Cadenzie what was going on. I had to watch the Korean broadcast after the second game because of this. Was Rapid not available? | ||
