We're working on improving day by day! It should be better from now on. That's from page 3. | ||

He probably just didn't notice it quickly, sure he had a pylon there but unless you are looking at it its just a red dot on the minimap that you expect to see anyway since there is an overlord. I don't think he'd be expecting Ret to drop a Nydus in sight of his pylon either. | ||

Due to those builds he lost his chances at winning GSL May and now just got 2-0'd in the NASL. C'mon MC, Kraytos isn't that greedy. Even 4/6-gate is risky in the sense that if your opponent is prepared for it they can defend it. Zerg in particular has a nice burrow timing that counters it, which Idra demonstrated against Huk in the MLG, I think. MC is probably trying to switch it up because otherwise he becomes too predictable, but he just can't resist taking the big risks in the builds he does. | ||

Chill it's fine :p I don't see why everyone wants starcraft to be super "professional". I enjoyed the casting today it was pretty funny ^.^ The personality and humor of starcraft casters are what I enjoy most about them. | ||

I think it has something to do with the fact that he heard and read all of the comments that were directed towards him by critics and haters, and by hearing those he's trying new things out to prove those people wrong. Unfortunately, tournament play isn't exactly the right stage to practice and try new things out, and I think MC just did those builds without practicing them on ladder or in customs. | ||

But GSL notwithstanding if MC doesn't win every tournament he enters I don't think it means that much. I'm a fan of MC but there are other great players out there. I don't get the shock when guys like him lose. I mean, it's not like he's out of NASL now. | ||

Second, even if he isn't deploying his tried and true unstoppable 4/6gates in this PvZ, beating MC's anything is an accomplishment(people bitch about his cannon rushing all the time), so it's not like I'm saying he threw the match and gave Ret free wins; Ret still 2-0'd a fantastic player who may or may not have been taking it as seriously as he .. should have?(that's a lot of money at the end of the rainbow to be digging an early hole in group play). I still stick to my post though, I just don't see how against a zerg that time and time again has shown EXTREME weakness to early game pressure, if he really felt the need to win he doesn't just 3 gate expand->6 gate, or 4gate. | ||

He already knows his timing attacks/aggression are great so it could be he wants to work on the defensive aspect of his play. Or maybe he knows Blizzard will nerf his build if he continues to use it to win everytime  .In the long run, it's good for him to have a variety of builds. | ||

Yeah, I'm not sure what the issue with the game sounds would be from, but inc's mic has a compressor that sounds like it's set way too aggressively. Basically, when he yells the compressor is making him extremely quiet, so we're actually hearing his voice mostly through gretorp's, which is why it has that huge echo. You're hearing the room. But they have a pro coming in, I'm sure he'll work his magic and all will be right with the world.  | ||

Its simple man, for esports to become mainstream on the west we need to broadcast quality content. If our casters aren't professional, the general public might not like the showing as much as say....football games and their commentators. I mean they also joke around but it is not as "unprofessional" as what grentorp and incontrol did | ||
