Glad that Jinro and Idra made it out, even tho it was unlikely given that they fought each other first. | ||

The stream is uncensored (per Tasteless), but if you want to reach a larger audience, a certain level of professionalism is needed. Not swearing forces you to think about your words a tad more. (But that's a separate discussion) Gah had to crash at 5:30 am pst. The Jinro TvT was too much for me x.x Seriously though, you're talking about professionalism about a stream that's on at 3 am pst. What is considered professional for the audience watching the stream at that time. Also, I don't want to see a return to the BW "professionalism" that lead to very deadish personaliities. As a fan, I appreciate seeing Jinro's emotion from playing some "fucking" amazing matches (the TvT was tiring to watch. Jesus so much action everywhere). One bit of emotion is not a stream of profanity. | ||

To compare the initial point to what he compared it to is so over the top. It might be my view on it, but I can see why they would opt to warn over it. Talk about putting gasoline on the bonfire. | ||

However personally i don't believe the TvT with Ensnare and Jinro was the best TvT SC2 match ever(as artosis/tasteless ranted on so much about). It seemed to be a down hill battle for Ensnare most of the game with him doing suicidal pushes or drops which seemed to do next to nothing. A lot of the TvT matches we see start with an interesting push that gets one player a significant lead, and then the rest of the game is just about capitalizing on that lead. The Jinro/Ensnare match got to a point of relative stability pretty quickly. Unlike most matchups (especially the other mirrors) TvT is much more positional and much less back-and-forth. Watching these two balance unit compositions and make strong positional plays was very impressive. As a Terran player (with particularly bad TvT), I was blown away. It's also worth noting that Jinro and Ensnare opted for different tactics. It may have looked like Ensnare was suiciding units all game, but his play was designed so that he could lose units without much risk of losing the match (until he mined out his half of the map). Ensnare chose to get a much higher economy so he could get aggressive, while Jinro kept a larger army and defended everything Ensnare threw at him. Remember, even though they had similar food for most of the game, Ensnare was sitting on 30 or so extra harvesters for much of the game, giving him a weaker army at any given time but allowing him to re-max quickly.There were plenty of times when it looked like Jinro could slow push his way to victory, and plenty of times I thought Ensnare might break his near-perfect defense. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time (save the last 8 min or so), and I think most other people were too. | ||
