1. LOL 2. I teared up a bit ^^ 3. Definitely a testament to how good of a commentator Moletrap is. You can't fake that kind of enthusiasm, and it's just... contagious. He's doing so well as a Code A caster; I gotta give him major props. 4. YEAH BOXERRRRR!

It didn't kill the robo, but killed 3 DTs while they were warping in.
Leenock vs CreatorPrime game 3 really upset me and I blame it on map imbalance. I cant help but fucking cringe in my seat when protoss can build an expansion and a HUGE army(thanks to 50minerals sentry), move out and win without losing anything.
Yes leenock made too many drones, but he made them while Creator still was in his base. That map simply is impossible to fight a sentry heavy army early without overcommiting to spinecrawlers blindly. You have narrow pathways everywhere, ramp right at the expasion easy to forcefield.

Stop poisoning our "admire boxer and the casters" pages with your stupid whining. Go cry somewhere else please!
Holy shit, I know Moletrap is a decent commentator from the broodwar days, but his play-by-play is just filled with passion and excitement, I fucking love it.

You should stop crying about people venting frustration over a volatile matchup.
The Boxer ending was exciting by the casting, but Avenge played so poorly in the last fight. All his zealots were in the middle of his army and all of them melted without doing a single hit, also 27 min in and no Charge!!!. You cant fight that many marauders without a critical mass of Colossus or chargelots. He could have held that with charge and better position of the army even without the FF

Plus 3 DT's that had just warped in or were just about to finish warping in. But it's wasn't really about the damage, nukes although easier to get than in brood war are still a rare sight and should be celebrated as much as possible

He made FOURTEEN drones at once and had no idea of what the army comp of Creator's was. And don't QQ about sentries because they cost like, 50/100.
Besides, when that battle came about, and when Leenock finally saw his army, he only had two lings. It was his own fault, plain and simple.
I plunked down my $9.95 this morning for GSL Ticket, in a large part to see how Boxer fares through Code A. And my reward is the EMPeror putting on the most entertaining finish to a game I can recall. I think moletrap may be permanently broken after that.
A couple of thoughts:
A) Maybe Boxer finds legitimate Code S success again one day, maybe the time has passed. But when people pay money to see Boxer play, he will find a way to entertain at a minimum. Even when he isn't at the top of the tables Boxer is still one of the greatest assets to E-Sports.
B) I was definitely skeptical of the moletrap going in. But after that epic game 3 cast he is basically the Gus Johnson of E-Sports right now. And that is a hell of a thing. I'll take passion and excitement over talent anyday of the week
Its not just revivals macro is garbage. Not so simple. As zerg, he went pretty all in with those lings at the beginning. Its really hard to come back and play a macro game when you commit that many units to an attack but dont end up attacking. If you dont believe me the same thing happened with Morrow in his game on metaloposis vs nightend during the TSL qualifiers.
Leenock didn't play well enough to win. Not really mad, just another Zerg going down. Though i won't be rooting or expecting anything out of Leenock anymore. (Given that a player like ZenexLine could make Code A, i assume he'll be back but i don't expect him to ever get back to top 8 code A)
Though Revival made me mad. He should have won on Xelnga Fortress. That mistake of attacking the PF for so long when he could have taken out a lot more army, or scvs. PF's are a bitch, don't attack them Just roll like 4 banes in to their mineral line and ignore them.
To tell you the truth i didn't expect Revival to beat Ryung, i just wanted competitive games. Though its so fuckin frustrating to watch a player throw away a lead.
Then because Moletrap was so overly biased in favor of Boxer, i was rooting for Avenge, Though he fuckin lost.
Didn't watch the next match but Alive winning is ok.
