i see no changes at all oO maybe your eyes are too slow to follow him. Right, he always casts like this! And I like it!
Carmac really did a great job, too.

Hope that demuslim and whitera going to advance

Have you watched code A games too? Before Ro4 (well, you could argue Ro8) it was just painful to watch. Like, real, physical pain.
The 3 control group "this map belongs to me" play, the warpprism-HT-drops, also the incredible colossus snipe from tarson...all this isn't some cute stuff that on real high lvl wouldn't work, it's sadly just not done that often.

well, white-ra and demuslim played code S lvl today.
€: besides white-ra's bo3 vs kas - maybe a bit sleepy or so^^

We're happy to bear with you Carmac, great effort today =)
Can't say I had any issues with Rotti's casting today either

Whitera has improved so much recently. Hope he makes the finals.

Well he was proberly refering to the Code S level players, since most of the Code A players are horrible and have had terrible matches most of the turnament this season. Most of the EU and NA top players would easily be able to compete in the Code A turnament.

In that game, after the opening exchanges white-ra had already teched to collosus and HT - so any form of bio switch was kind of impossible.
I do like white-ra's early teching of HT, gives you options depending on viking counts that many toss who love collosus dont think of.

No but these players are among the very best of europe, so it would be unfair to compare them to players that are worse than the top 32 of korea.

Hey guys,
I tryed to slow it down after the break, and I really felt I did , i know i spoke a bit too fast and too much first 2 bo3s but I felt last 2 i didnt really over do it, anyway i try to get a good night of sleep and relax, tomorrow with gamers next to me , hopefully everything will run smooth, having lots of fun here though, kiev is amazing!
Cheers and gn

Russian commentator said on this stream half an hour ago: "Well, most of the creative play is getting killed by plain good cheese." And Koreans love to cheese.

Funny how in WhiteRa vs Naama on scrap, WhiteRa storms himself for no reason in the most tense moment possible.
