This actually made me laugh. I'd like to see you rush for ravens and throw out PDD's to hold off mutas. The sad reality is that in TvZ your initial harrass with hellions/reapers/2 rax has to do a shitload of damage or you lose. Simple as that. | ||

Plus HSM is so expensive that you need a ton of ravens to use it reliably for defense. Mass marine can destroy mutas. It's the same situation as in PvZ, if you let the zerg get so many muta they become almost impossible to deal with. The key is not letting them get that many muta in the first place, not being able to stop mass muta | ||

The Belgian community is rather small too, furthermore the dutch speaking and the french speaking community are split. Abit like Britain. We only really have DeMusliM and he hasn't even lived in the UK for the majority of his SC2 career -.- . | ||

Don't need HSM, using PDD to zone mutas with 2 turrets and only 5 or so marines is perfect for defense, Also when mutas get +2 you need to get building armor, if the zerg is goign to invest that much in flyer attacks terran's need to respond equally. | ||

There has been rumors that Tarson and Nerchio might be able to hear the commentary, since english casters are just for the live stream. But, to be honest, won't be Naniwa able to hear the english commentary? Kinda weird. I think the polish casters are not that bad. There is no match analysis and they stated a gg a long time before it happened, but we don't have that many casters in Poland, so they're still learning. It's a long of pressure on them, but IMHO they did a nice job. | ||

Well, Orly is pretty high on the NA ladder atm, he's beaten Rainbow, sheth and some other NA GM players, but that's just ladder though | ||

It may not have enough players, but that's mostly because it doesn't really have any lower ranked filler players. The EU lineup is stronger than the EU lineup at Assembly, especially considering that Nani and Thorzain were counted as strongest EU players for some time now. | ||

They are doing a great job and you can see the experience they have with EPS/IFNG and IEM. Still the music is subject to argument and it is kind of bad that the Sound + Headssetissue will follow every ESL organized event. Nevertheless great production. | ||

Hearing anything new is more refreshing than listening to Guetta for the 100,000th time. | ||

Adding a raven in the mid-late game to help with the giant muta numbers isn't out of the question, it adds survivability to your thors, small groups of marines and turrets. | ||
