Sitting in the middle would have been a terrible idea. I guess it annoyed me because it should have been pointed out how awesome of it move it was instead of making it sound like some big blunder. Otherwise the commentators are doing great.
But yeah, I think that was the turning point of that game. Great game, but you could really tell Axlav was off racing lol.
It's the Terran in him talking =D
Zerg max out faster (especially on roaches) so it's advantageous to trade away those roaches for say, a base, so the army can replenish on infestors and Tier3. Terran maxes slowly and the army compounds on itself to become stronger the bigger it is, so it's usually always bad to throw away units as a Terran ^_^
Painuser just doesn't get that roaches are expendable when mass infestors are out on the field! It's not his fault he doesn't play Zerg

My biggest issue with the casters is they all seem to be 1v1 casters with very little experience in 2v2, hearing them constantly doubt or pick at every move ProTech and Power make even though they probably have 5x the experience of all the casters combined just make them look amateur.

Well to be fair, 2v2 is unexplored territory. It's hard to know what's going to go down when something like that happens and they immediately go for the counter attack.

Who are the 2 players in Team Wizard, and what countries are they from? :x

Blue Flame Hellions kinda good.

Are Ret and Sheth still alive in this tournament? I missed some pretty big chunks of the tournament because of work.

Teams left are EG, Wizards, and PowerTech. Sheth/Ret got knocked out by the Korean FXO guys.

Playing losers bracket finals now EG vs Team wizards, winners meet team protech or whatever.
Am I right in saying that Team Wizards and protech\powertech or whatever are the 2 teams with (by far?) most 2v2 experience\actually take 2v2 somewhat seriously? seems like most of the other teams are just strong 1v1 players teaming up.

Why isn't Axslav playing Protoss? His Terran is...uninspiring to say the least.

You are correct. For whatever reason, season 1 was dominated by 1v1 players and this season has been all about the top level 2v2 teams

Terran is his permanent 2v2 race.

Well EG lost 5 games in a row...

Terran is his permanent 2v2 race. We saw him play Protoss in 2v2s quite recently (EGMCS comes to mind) but hopefully he is switching back to T permanently. He and StrifeCro seem to do a lot better with TZ.

I love how the third caster is sitting behind HD and PU looking like the unwanted kid rejected from the popular table. It's like NO you don't get the official looking headphones!

Where's Psy? All these random casters are so unnecessary..
