Its so stupid. There was no reason to go allin

What do you mean. All in is a 40% chance of winning and expanding is like a 95% chance of winning.

Protoss has an expansion up and has defense. Now what?


Being so far behind a protoss in eco like that, you're chances of winning by expanding that late are equal to the chances of your opponent's computer failing, whereas the allin can win maybe 10% of the time, maybe a little more.

This.
Zerg can't be on equal bases and expect to win a long macro game against the other races. In fact, what makes the double pylon cannon wall-off so good against Zerg is that it
a) lets the Toss expo almost freely
b) makes any expo the Zerg can get later than the Toss's. Worse yet, your expo is starting as the Toss is starting to saturate his. It's almost impossible to recover from being that far behind.
c) If the Zerg expos, the Toss can just timing push (Tester was making seven warpgates) and roflstomp right through.
So Zenio's only option is to all-in.
Of course he could've just gone roach or nydus, but the chances of victory are about the same if the double pylon block holds for that long.

It's easier for protoss to win the GSL then for zerg to make the top 16.... trolling as usual

People forget that the whole reason behind the Grack/Greg mixup is that they are actually spelled the same way and it's a common mixup.

From what I understand Greg and Grack are both written the same way in Korean and the Koreans don't really know how to pronounce his name. So yes he called IdrA Grack.

Tasteless screwing up so many details here. Maps, players, units, it doesn't matter this week he's got them all wrong.

Oh well, with this pace at least I'll get some more sleep than yesterday's max length games.


Careful, the last time I complained about the casters, I got hated on for 3 consecutive page by all the fanboys who just "love the funny jokes"


Maybe because most of us know what the maps, units and players are and understand what tastosis mean when they make a slip up so it in no way affects our enjoyment of the match?


Artosis is pretty much flawless but Tasteless finds himself out of his depth left right and centre, there is also a laughable fanboyism surrounding them when anyone expresses anything other than blatant nuthugging. Tasteless gets away with his lackluster analysis of the game though because he is such a likable person.


Because they both DID SHIT to back up the fanboyism, they have earned it and deserve it.

That's true, but as much as I respect Artosis, as much as Tasteless lives in his glorious past. Just go watch a broodwar cast from him and compare. He had knowledge, he was funny, well, he was good at casting. Now he doesn't know the game, he's telling the same sentences over and over, he adds nothing but some funny jokes from time to time. If artosis wasn't there and he was casting alone, teamliquid would riot against gom about them hiring someone incompetent. I respected and loved tasteless a lot before, now he's just a burden with zero added value for the show.
I hate to sound like a hater but that's what I feel about him, I'm sure he doesn't play the game, it's not possible. I'm sure he never talk about starcraft or play starcraft, or read about starcraft when he's not paid for it.


So what? I feel that Artosis is more funny with Tasteless beside him and since they do a great job I am happy with it and complain about stuff that matters, like US wikileaks policy. Also pointing out Tasteless great achievements is no argument against him, many men have done one great thing and earned the respect the rest of their lives. I am fine with that too it seems sensible.

IdrA said something along the lines of "It is harder for Zerg to make the round of 16 than it is for Protoss to win the GSL."

We both made a mistake, I was supposed to write sqrt(5)i, and you were supposed to write -25 :p

Come on dude, if you're going to correct him you have to correct him correctly.

5i*5i = 5^2 * i^2 = 25 * -1 = -25

The correct answer is sqrt(5)*i
