I just think it lets you get to Ultra/bane so fast which is such a strong comp. + Show Spoiler + The last game IdrA got some infestors before the big Jinro push, i think they complemented his slow banelings really well. (i know speed would be better, but infestors don't make it as big off a deal) However i still couldn't believe Jinro won game 6, i thought for sure he was in the dumps after making that many turrets but 3/3 marines are not to be messed with. | ||

People have lost games over and over again in BW and SC2 from forgetting a single major upgrade. Forgetting baneling speed thing shows EXACTLY why Jinro is clearly the better player. When you look at that game, it was Jinro who was under constant hard pressure constantly. Usually the player under pressure is prone to making mistakes like that because of additional stress of having to react to harassment and risk of losing the game immediately. Jinro remained rock solid throughout that pressure, and it was his opponent who made the critical mistake. Coincidentally, kind of similar to what choya did in their GSL series when he forgot Thermal Lance. Players on that level don't just "forget" critical upgrades like that. They get those upgrades every game, they press the hotkey every game. The point is, in high pressure games, Jinro has the mental stamina to deal with the pressure, and that makes a huge difference between one of the top players and the rest. You can say they're "incredibly close" if you want to be nice to both of them, but they're really not incredibly close. They're about as close as Flash and Fantasy, they might both be top level players, but come on... | ||

Was very exciting to watch because of that, even if it was a couple seconds ahead of time out of sync I don't know, I think he was overplaying it a bit too much. Then again, the desync just made it all seem kind of ridiculous to begin with. | ||

Once Incontrol gets a little more experience casting I think he could make one of the best casters. He has the personality and game sense for it. NASL woooo! | ||

I love Gretorp and InControl about 100x more when they are a little less serious and have a little more fun... I know they are trying to be professional but I would love it if they let themselves go a little bit more. They seemed a bit too uptight, especially Gretorp, and I notice this a lot in his casts. Gretorp is outrageously funny when he is not casting and I wish he would let more of that shine through, same with InControl though he did try to joke around a little. Gretorp, InControl, we love your personalities, don't water them down too much just to be "professional." | ||

I think the problem on the casting side is that both Inc and gretorp are both analysts first and foremost. It takes a special personality like day9 tasteless, diggity, artosis, etc to be both. I don't think nasl will match the gsl with this combination only. It will be good to hear diggity as a mainstay of the equation. He is certainly deserving. Other than that guest contracting hd and husky is not a bad idea. It is a business after all and they have a huge following. Good effort overall and I look forward to what's in the future. | ||

A minor thing, but the graphics overlay on the interview, the CLASH OF THE TITANS logo and the replay overlay were simply ugly. I really don't hope (nor do i believe it) that this is a sign of what is to come with NASL. | ||

On a side note, that was probably the worst casting I have ever had the displeasure of listening to. Please tell me incontrol and gretorp will not be casting NASL because if they are, it will be very painful to watch. | ||

I wouldn't interest me if he's lost interest in something he hates.IdrA's reminding me of JD now...seems like he's just lost all interest in the game :\ | ||
