I will reiterate: one of the worst showmatches ever

bad games, lag, out of sync casters, bad production

sigh

You guys realize it wasn't an early gg at all? He was behind when he saw CC first, then he was even more behind scouting mech when he tried to go for a fast spire doing nothing even facing a super-fast 3rd for Jinro while he was on 2 base.

Then he was super-behind on upgrades.. that was a late gg to begin with, not an early one.

But it is a showmatch and he left before engaging at all. Sure, it looked grim but.. come on.


No, nothing come on. Why should he attack and look at his units dying doing nothing? Just leave with a gg was the most logic and reasonable thing to do. He's not playing to entertain you. He's playing to win.

Yes, he *is* playing to entertain. That's the definition of a showmatch. They're trying to hype NASL here, and Idra is not doing a good job. You can see how pissed Geoff is about it.

What bugs me about idra is what we just saw in game 4. He plays to win, and instead of pleasing the 20,000 + person audience by going for a final attack there, or attempting a base trade, he just ggs. He hurts the production value of the showmatch by not waiting 5 seconds for np, spending 10 seconds going in for a final attack, and then gging....


Yes. I don't mind if he does this in an open tournament. But a showmatch which he has been invited to, which also puts out a staggering price pool.. It's just bad form towards the sponsors and the match organizers who gives him the opportunity to claim 1500 for little work. Despicable.

I want Jinro to win even more now. Come on Jinro!

Up until the forth match all went good for my stream but now I get spike after spike.


Missed the GG in that game, so I had no idea what happened at the end missed a couple of engagements as well



Idra Basicly GG because he knew he couldn't win even before he even attacked with his army. Nothing to see really, kinda antiklimax.
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

That's the fucking thing isn't it? I'm not saying he owes me anything, he doesn't but it is a bloody showmatch. Showmatches bloody purpose is to entertain, that's when we see archon toilets and other stupid and possibly not as viable shit that's enjoyable to watch. A gg before the final battle goes against everything a showmatch is.

Oh well.

Not very exciting. I think IdrA is on some kind of tilt when he lost the matches he thought he would win.

I don't have any ad-blockers installed, so it's not that. If the messages are popups or popunders maybe firefox blocks them by default. Or maybe it's because I'm european.

It's funny how few people here know exactly how powerful 3/3 thors are. They beat ultralisks, their direct counter, lol.

He lost a ton of his army trying to attack jinros base, and his muta clump was cut in half from 3 thor shots.

It was over.

Why is an ultra the counter? It has splash and mobility, similar costs. Seems like the thor should win the fight
Get paper, fuck bitches, smoke trees, mass thors.

I am not any kind of expert, but it would be my guess that the de-sync is being caused by the ingame observing video and commentary desk video being recorded at separate times, and having been encoded with slightly different settings. Thus, one of them is squeezing in a small amount of extra frames per second than the other, resulting in the synchronisation issues increasing over time.

This wouldn't explain the discrepancy between Gretorp and iNcontroL's timing though, so accept my theory as nothing more than just that.


As an aside, I am also experiencing nothing during the intermissions except for the overlay and silence, even though both my NoScript and AdBlock have exceptions set for justin.tv.

People should just try to make this the best of it, I understand that it's somewhat underwhelming. But the games themselves have been pretty good.

Yes, rofl.

Also it might be a showmatch but they're playing to win, you can't hold that against them. It's way more fun to see them going all out then holding back to create false tension for the fans.
