demuslim is fucking beastly @ casting. He's not only there to explain what & why but he can also do the standard noobfriendly commentary. He's amazing, it's almost a shame that he doesn't do casting more often. He has style similair to artosis's actualy. Very entertaining.

I just kinda need to quote demuslim:

"protoss should never leave his base that early"

THANK YOU - at least some pro-terrans are honest enough to admit that protoss simply can't fight bio unless teched up to colossi or storm

EDIT: really looking forward to socke vs morrow though; imo socke is the best european PvT-player right now

They cant fight bio with stim no. Anyway Whitera played awful that series. No doubt that morrow is a much better player right now.

Ouch White-Ra, you can't just expect to engage and retreat with conc shells on the field. He looks like he burnt out or something. No where near his usual level of play.

He's lost a lot on the ladder today: 9 losses in a row.

Perhaps he's frustrated?

That's not what DeMusliM was saying at all, in fact he went on to say that the point of White-Ra retreating to his natural would be to buy time so he could build more gateway units and thereby crush MorroW's bio force (without storm or colossi). Come on dude.

Perhaps his time is just over, he's pretty old (in comparison), married and has a job, perhaps he has to step back in esports.

I don't get the the whole "Protoss must tech up to survive terran bio". I mean it was the same in BW except reverse. How often did you see a terran be able to move out before siege tanks and vults with mines? Maybe I'm just stupid not seeing the problem...

also nice leaving out half of Demuslims quote, thereby completely altering what he is saying, originally he said Protoss should never leave his base this early without knowing what the Terran is doing

its imo always better if top level players are casting games or at least co-casting them.. if you don't play on that level yourself you just can't have that insight.. all of the guys who co-casted today are great actually.. haven't seen rotterdam but think i like him the most because of his jokes.. =)

would love to see a top zerg player co-casting a game sometime too.. =)

does he actually get any money for this at all?

i thought he's doing all the home-casting stuff in his free time and doesn't get anything out of it...

and the prize pool is sponsored by that notebook company isn't it?

Yes he is doing it in his free time and he is not getting anything out of it. And the money is from that notebook company. But still there are other costs to cover, he bought some new hardware, webcam and camcorder and new internet connection. And normally he is employed at ESL TV as a caster which means if his team likes this a lot they will support him again (they like this automatically when the viewers like it). They already supported him this time by helping him with the stream and paying for the stream traffic I. ESL wrote news about this beforehand in different country sections, provided graphics and did some PR so different SC2 platforms knew about this cup beforehand.
