And DarkForce lost to Goody, by imbalance. This game hurts while watching.

For me it's actually the same, i can't really get over the fact that the game was already played and therefore i am not as excited as i would be in a live game. It might not make any sense, but it's the same in football or whatever sports. Got to see it live or i will lose interest.
The delay is terrible btw, gonna play myself now as well.

It's like watching a football game the day after it's been played. Its exciting but you know the result is already decided (you may even know the result). Watching it live, I feel at least, everything is so much more 'immediate' and tense.

Don't start.
That cannon opening is basic against PvZ, especially in Korea. It's good and strong and it isn't cannon rushing. But it is pretty easy to break trough, Sen just chose all-in instead of expanding and making it a longer game.
And tbh, Kiwikaki played that game horribly, even tho he won.

I really can't get into replaycasting of a live-tournament. I really hope this doesn't become standard cuz in addition to the huge delay we are experiencing it takes away so much excitement.
Guess I'm off playin myself now.
How is it different from streaming live where you have to wait for players to finish games before you jump into the next set? What about the delays you have to wait (ie: IEM/ MLG) in live tournaments between rounds? How does it take away your excitement when the replay bar is covered up anyway =/

You'll get it used to it quickly. I felt the same way during the first TSL, but it really isn't anything different. And it's not like watching the games a day later, nobody but the players know the results yet, you couldn't just look them up somewhere.

It's not any specific game, it's just a systematic thing of noticing how few Zergs make it to the later rounds of every single tournament (the IEM LAN was the sole exception I've seen of any recent tournament).

I don't actually think it's this, though. Suppose for some reason you had to watch a football game with a 15-minute delay. Or even a 30-minute delay. You're watching over some relay in the middle of nowhere or something, I don't know. Would you have the same reaction to that? (That's a serious question; I'm just curious.) Is there a point at which the delay would become too long?
And, again, I think most people thought the TSL/TSL2 finals were still really exciting.
Maybe it has to do with the presentation. Pauses in the action are fine if you know you're waiting for people to actually play. If you're casting replays, though, maybe pauses are less fine, because they remind you that you're not being kept perfectly up-to-date or something? Even though a straight 30-minute delay or something, with everything running smoothly and no pauses once it's started, would be less objectionable?
I dunno. Sorry for the derail. I'm just curious about the psychology here. I'll stop.

Actually you can. In any of the two players match history...

I agree with you, but I want to point out that it is actually possible to look up the results in the player's match-history.

But at the same time, I did know like twice as many terran from name than zergs(i knew 4 zergs) not to mention that the zergs in this tourney just got some really bad luck. Ret loosing to 1 cannon was devastating to watch, (esp. since on one side there were zlings not reaching the cannon and on the other the cannon had killed em all or something), sen going allin instead of just expanding and macroing up, lalush I have no idea what happend to... All the best terrans are still in there except for painuser.
