Just listen to his jokes and his support casting lol ;P yea no kidding , recently ive been face palming alot more at some of the stuff he says. I think the biggest facepalm was when a couple months ago neither tasteless or artosis knew that it was standard to get armor first in PVT, they were going "what is this? , is there a reason hes getting armor first" Then within a week they were going "you have to get armor first against terran its sooo goodd" dont get me wrong they are my favourite casters, but sometimes.... | ||

Look up Jan Ove Waldner on youtube or wikipedia whatever. At 40 years old he was the sickest tabletennis player in the world and thats a very very demanding sport for hand sensitivity and eye-to-hand cordination. | ||

Not to mention that his drops in game two did a lot of damage. The mistake he made there was that he should have stopped doing drops after the mutas popped out. I share your opinion that alive can play better, but in no way was he playing bad today. Darkforce had a perfect decision making, played safely and capitalized on every small mistake alive made. I strongly disagree. I feel that Alive played pretty badly and honestly Darkforce had a pretty easy win in the 3rd game. Before people crucify me for saying that, let me just elaborate on my argument. Perhaps a more experienced player can totally prove me wrong, but for now, I'm convinced that Alive straight up played terribly. As far as I know, you have to pressure Zerg. Or he'll just expand all over the map, and have so many resources that he can replenish his army over and over again (not that it mattered, because Alive handled every engagement so badly that Darkforce ended up ahead in supply in many of those engagements. No EMPs on infestors, which was CRITICAL. We know players at Alive's level are capable of great EMPs - Byun vs. Zenio is a great example of that. But Alive just let himself get fungled into oblivion). Anyway, a huge digression there. After that heavy helion opening, Alive literally sat on his ass, let Darkforce spread creep all over the map, and expand all over the place, while Alive turtled to 200. I'm not even a good player, but I'm pretty sure you're really NOT supposed to do that. Darkforce didn't have to deal with ANY sort of harassment after Alive's opening. He was able to comfortably drone up, pump out units, expand everywhere, spread creep everywhere, and Alive just turtled all the way to 200/200. Then when the battles began, all Darkforce had to do is cast fungal everywhere, which isn't hard to do. I'm not trying to downplay DarkForce's battle management, but I honestly think AoE spells in general are easy to do (I'm a Toss player who loves HT play, and yeah... Fungals and Storms are simply easy to pull off, even though people love to hype them whenever they're casted. Press key -> click). From there, it looked like DarkForce a-moved to crush Alive's army because Alive just doesn't know how to EMP infestors. If someone can explain why Alive did what he did and failed so hard at EMPing other than "he just messed up really badly", then I'm genuinely curious to hear an explanation. Bottom line: Darkforce played fine - he macroed well, and he had free reign to fungal everything since Alive seemed to not have the ability to EMP anything. But Alive didn't make Darkforce really fall under any pressure after the hellion opening. He left DarkForce to just macro and creep spread comfortably all the way until they were both maxed, and then failed all the battles really badly by not EMPing anything. A deserved win for sure, but not very impressive to me since I perceive Alive as playing really badly. | ||
