Think there is almost 10000 posts in this thread, this might be the biggest disappointment in Sc2 tournament history.

Also cant get fullscreen on the restream without it crashing.

Watching the restream, I love how JP thought that spire was for mutas in game 1 Machine vs Tyler when 4 colossi ar out. I also love when he wonders if a 3 gate expo will turn into a 4 gates.

Please, I'm silver playing 4 games a month and I have a better understanding of the matchup.

I completely agree. I believe DjWheat is even worse as far as SC2 knowledge goes, but since he has a huge background in casting he fails less often, just states the obvious and lets Day9 do the technical talk, asks him questions where necessary.

I do not mean to bash the casters, I have worked at countless tournaments to know the stamina it demands, but I would prefer it if they talked less and be more precise about what they said instead of constant chatter that is incoherent at times.

I really doubt you have more game knowledge than JP. The muta call in game 1 was pretty bad, but the 3gate possibly becoming a 4 gate is pretty common. Some Tosses choose to fake an expo, and then punish the zerg with a 4gate, rather than going straightup 4gates.

Yeah, you are totally right. They do an awesome job, they give a lot of energy to the games. I love them, and I think it's not easy in the heat of the game to make up your mind but maybe they should work a little bit on their knowledge.

I'm not saying I'm better, but those calls, come on.

2 gases, CB used on sentry and you wonder if its a 4 gates? It would be awefully delayed.

It's true, but if you've ever watched incontrol's stream he played around with a 2 gas 4 gate. It comes around at a really awkward timing where the zerg spent most of his larvae on drones and only has a few units out, it was pretty damn effective.

But yea i see what you're saying, the casting definitely has room for improvement. JP actually has been practicing his casting leading up to MLG, so I have to give him props for that.

Google and Youtube. One cannot explain AtheneWins. He's just lost for words.

If im not badly mistaken, hes an internet troll with strange sence of humor and follower base to keep him around. Hes not truly important in any sence, just anomaly, a sort of village idiot that provides amusement to selected few.

I am pretty damn happy with the results so far. I wish Machine would have won over Agh, but other than that I really wanted SLush and iNcontroL to do well in group C and they did.

Thanks for bringing this up, I had no idea such a build was being worked on.
