This. It's not even just her voice, she's flat out wrong about half the stuff she says.

Like just, "Leenock's ahead in upgrades so he might win!". No, no he wasn't. They both had +1 attack and Leenock's +1 armour was around 15-20seconds away from finishing which meant the attack from Losira was a perfect timing.

What can you do, I understand this cast though. Worse than normal for me.

commentators didn't notice how the zergling runby into the natural killed a ton of drones and stopped mining... thats how LosirA got so far ahead. Losira was so far ahead the entire game...

Actually it looks like Losira LITTERALY attacked ~15 seconds BEFORE +1 armor was finished, not while it was finished. It was basically a (lucky?) timing window which he abused.
The battle would have been so much different of Laenok has +1 armor finished at that point, he should have retreated back to his main and expo(to get a flanking concave) and increase the time that his roaches benefit of the +1 armor.

1/1 roaches versus 1/0 offers next to no difference in survivability. Only when +2 kicks in does the amount of shots it takes to kill a roach begin to vary. There was a thread doing extensive research on Roach v Roach upgrades in the strategy fourm.

Losira won on the sheer force of those 10 extra drones giving him the economy to make more roaches, not to mention Leenock put more into lair/glial/carapace which cost him additional roaches.

Even with good player lineups I'm not sure how much more code A casting I can stomach :S Here's hoping it improves with age.

The reason it was 49 Drones to Losira and 39 to Leenock was because of that earlier zergling runby done by Losira which killed a bunch of drones at the natural and his queen. Seems casters forgot this part of the game.

At least the games have good micro, better than TvT by far imo. He had a great timing.

Just the opening ling/bling mirror matches. After that maybe I'm missing it but I don't see much micro happening : /

ZvZ and PvP are so boring to watch. All comes down to who has more roaches/stalkers and who manages to squeeze in a little macro advantage here or there.

Leenock looked ahead for most of the time, especially with that ling micro against the banelings. I guess Losira successfully attacking the natural in the middle of the game made the difference.

PvP you are right, but ZvZ is amazing when you get past the ling bane and giant roach push stage.

When Leenock lost his queen, the game was over already. That puts him about 12 larvas behind (the time to make another queen), no way to recover from that.
Zerg should always make an emergency queen in case they lose one. (I mean, making the queen before losing one)

Yeah, I don't mind her voice, although it's less than thrilling, it's just the amount of mistakes she makes. I remember one game she was casting where it was a terran doing a timing push against a protoss and she's like:
"He forgot stim! He forgot stim!"
And the production tab is open and I see stim 90% done being researched and then the terran stims when the battle starts and she's like "Oh..."
I don't care what she sounds like, her game knowledge and awareness is low for a caster at this level IMHO.
