That is what a banjee is. Uh. Thanks.

Yeah, I think the casters missed it despite pointing out the use of PDD when the Raven initially came out.

Note to observer, income tab is very useless. We get it, Terran will always have more mineral income, protoss and zerg will have faster harvester counts. Please use production/units tab a lot more....like most of the time.

He used some creative thinking, misdirection and relentless pressure and the protoss fell apart piece by piece. It was awesome to watch even though as a protoss player (and a gsl fan) I was rooting for Artosis I was inspired and happy to watch such strong Zerg play.
Then we had Idra at dreamhack Vsing the BEST protoss in the world and using the same basic principal of endless pressure had him on the ropes in a massive way. Idra lost that game because he made a big mistep but In such a high calibre game against a player like MC you lose if you make a misstep regardless of race ect.
My point is, Zergs are making so much noise about it being unfair that they can't sit back for 20mins and then A move the protoss with a 200 army. Well maybe thats because protoss is simply a better race to play like that? When Zerg plays with Aggression, misdirection (tech switches ect) and relentless pressure they do SOOO much better. Sheth had a 50-100 food advantage over Artosis for most of those games didn't he? And Artosis was mostly 2 bases and didn't build the same composition in the same way at all. Not that I disagree, but it's not completely the same. That said this series was just poor play by Darkforce, way too passive, way too few infestors, and not good engagements with them. With the way Cruncher just brazenly goes VR/Col right away DF should know enough to do... uh anything. At the very least mass infestors or something earlier and at least attempt to deny the 3rd. There's an argument to be made along with what most zergs are complaining about it, but DF vs Cruncher isn't a good example of it, other than maybe that it's so successful that it's DF's only strat apparently.
Agreed, even the sheth example has a flaw in the fact that Sheth had half his supply in drones and had 5 or 6 queens iirc (10-12 food) so his standing army was smaller in every fight than it should have been. Sheth had awesome larva inject and management so thats why I thought he played so well.

No. Artosis was on three bases before the first encounter. Sheth did have extra expansions purely to get more gas, which allowed him to make lots of banelings and constantly tech switch. Also he had 85-90 drones, so his army was actually smaller than Artosis' in some of the encounters. But he instantly remaxed after every fight and just whittled Artosis' economy and army to nothing.

I can see the battles just fine at 480p and am trying to avoid eating too much bandwidth for the sake of those around me, anyone else having this 'problem'? I was going to comment that the non HD stream quality was REALLY FUCKING GOOD as a sort of tongue in cheek joke, but ya I've been watching all night like this (on a side note: being unsure of whether my network could handle a 1080 stream was one of the things holding me back from purchasing the ticket, I may just go grab a season pass now, guess my internet isn't as bad as i thought it was.)
Same here. I have option to watch 1080p stream last 3 games already even if I didn't pay for it.

Did you not get the memo? Apparently a map is terrible if it is on the dunes tiles.
The map is fine

Good thing those invincible command centers were banned from the NASL... Cmon, he obviously mean they are easily accessible.
Don't even respond to these guys... seriously. It seems to give them more of a reason to make more useless, overly sarcastic comments. I guess the one you quoted isn't as bad as some of them, but nevertheless...
(The text below is not directed at the person I quoted) You can listen to any caster and take things they say and make them look ridiculous (Tasteless says some pretty obvious things in the GSL as well, but he is a great caster)... people are just trying to find anything bad in this, and it is quite frankly really annoying to me.
I love being able to chat while watching this, but I gave up on the JTV chat VERY quickly after seeing how terrible it is, but it isn't much better on here with everyone fucking whining on every page on things that really don't matter that much. Post constructive criticism and I'm sure someone relevant will see it if people repeatedly see polite suggestions, but please everyone stop bitching so much.
