Jesus, so many ridiculous downtime/technical difficulties at the early stages of many sc2 tourneys. Valve so good!!!!! I think the analysis desk plays a big part. Instead of casters coming off the back of a game needing to keep talking you have 4 guys who have the whole match to work out what to talk about for 10 minutes to fill time.
and that's exact why valve so good!! I remember some crazy mlg downtime that the games are delayed severely etc.

I dunno. Maybe I'm a total scrub but I find them helpful to an extent. Sure they're not pro player level insightful but they're not awful. Not like they say shit like "and I'm surprised storm spirit didn't build a battlefury" or some other totally stupid shit proving they know nothing about the game. I just had to get past the first day and realize that Bruno was just for stats and not for analysis, then I understood the desk.

Funny how Tiny's counterpart is 100x as dominant in HoN despite lacking the agh's ult.

In Puppey's interview, they talked about "finding a counter for Siren" -- I missed game 2. What was it? Fast-pushing with Juggernaut's healing or something? 1. Get caught all five in Rosh-pit 2. Get vacuumed 3. BLACK HOLE 4. Chaos 5. All iG dead, all alive on Na´vi When will people learn you don't fight na'vi in the rosh pit. They are insane in there. There are seriously like 5 videos dedicated to them owning face when they shouldnt in that pit.
There´s only 1 explanation:
The pit gives Navi superpowers.

morph/invoker/chen for orange, pretty ideal draft for them so far imo

Their feel is so different and the short delay when you cast spells really make all the difference.

Valve so good!!!!! well, Valve runs one tournament a year and puts all the money towards it while sc2 tournaments aren't one per year and run on smaller budgets.
the things valve doesn't and are hyped by everyone aren't really that expensive.
having an analyst desk with someone who brings some kind of humor to it is nothing that special
having interviews with players/managers while one guy is plugging in stuff is just a great idea
