He knew demuslin had a bigger army, he knew demuslim still had atleast one CC up because of no vision. Merz had a smaller army, no income and one startport that was floating in top right to keep him in the game.
I don't understand how you can say it wasn't obvious the game was lost, even from merz' perspective.
Keep in mind how the game played out, not how it looked in hindsight and with total vision. He almost killed Demuslim's only command center at the gold expansion before the 2 others had started (or maybe just been started). At that time he was very much still in the game to force a draw. To add even more to that, he then went and dropped the base killing the starport, but didn't see the single viking that had had left just seconds beforehand.
Yeah, but he could confirm the command center at the gold expansion, and he also knew that's exactly where Demu's confirmed larger army was parked. Demu could've gone afk and there was no way merz could've won.
Was he hoping that Demu would somehow move-command across the map and he'd get to destroy it? Or that Demu would abandon his CC for no reason? The only thing I can think of is that he was hoping to kill all of Demu's stuff, then suicide drop to finish off the CC. But of course, had that been Demu's only remaining building, he would've repaired it if he had any minerals at all.

Make no mistake, Merz knew he was behind after seeing the size of his army. But think of how long the game actually went from the point where he forced demuslim to lift his gold command center and lift it away. He then elevatored into demuslim's main to kill the starport. He didnt' see viking. Add in the travel time of the viking when it finally found his starport. At that time he knew demuslim had 1 command center and 2 refineries. Obviously it's a shitty situation, but he still had hope, and it's not like he was dragging on the game for 20 minutes like Canata.

I don't think there are many people without widescreen these days.
To get you to pay for premium. But seriously, the quality is a huge improvement from IEM Cologne at least. That was a grainy mess if there ever was one.

IEM Cologne had Samy Deluxe though. Clearly the better event.
Carmac is certainly not amazing as a player but for his skilllevel he makes a really good caster. He asks right questions and doesn't talk random nonesense. I like it.

4:3 on premium as well.
Really? I thought it would be similar to Take's set-up, considering he's ESL and all. Take can sort a crisp and clear HD and widescreen stream while the European championship is stuck with 4:3? Whaaaat?

They are still using old real TV Equipment from GIGA. Buying new stuff would cost them a fortune. But don't ask me why they are still using that old stuff. They might have their reasons...
