All this talk about casters got me thinking. With Tastosis, Day9, Husky and JP casting at the next MLG event, I reckon Day9 and Husky are going be casting some games together. Can't help but think that that would be the worst commentator mix ever. Just venting my concern.

Now, please carry on with the games

watch tsl and pax team liquid event and gspa, there are mass games of those two together

I'd rather save my ears tyvm

He is/was english teacher ;o

He is studying it :-) Becoz you cannot be a teacher with 24 (well maybe it's possible, but I do not think he is already a teacher)

why not? You can totally be a teacher in the states at 24. 4 years uni (you can get certified at most large universities). Maybe an extra year doing regional certification and you're set. 18+5=23


But in Germany its more like: 13years of school, ~4.5years (at least i think) at university + 1year military service inbetween
unless he skipped classes he should be studying still

With the New German school system (G8), you can be a teacher with 23-24, you make your ABI with 17 and then study till 21 + 2 years Internship, which makes you a 23 year old teacher

wrong. you graduate with 18 unless you skipped a year. also you have to do a referendariat.


why is this relevant in this thread? I'm studying english to become a teacher as well and even I don't care. Get back on the topic dammit.

I am in my last years in school and 30% of the people will have they're Abitur with 17 and they haven't skipped a year, with Internship I meant referendariat

No I think Killer reacted badly after scouting. He certainly scouted the scv/marine allin both times, just didn't hold it. Socke had no clue if it was even coming!

In germany its different. with ~19 u leave school, 1 year army or civialan service and then start uni. 4 years, then practice years and then u are a teacher. not possible at the age of 24.

I´ll stop the 1-1-1 discussion with this post. All I wanted to say was that we have seen so many builds/aggressions/all-ins during the last year that for a while was "unbeatable". MKP´s 2rax was unbeatable, as was the roach all-in. Until someone learned to counter it properly. The 1-1-1 is no difference, thats all im saying.

Now lets enjoy the games.


There's one important difference, and this isn't me saying the build is overpowered, yet. All of these builds that you mention were powerful because you couldn't scout them early enough, and commiting to a defence made you fall behind if the opponent was doing something else. There was never a real issue with stopping the 2 rax all-in, but with being safe against it while still being economically even with a 2 rax CC. Similarly, stopping the roach/ling all-in is easy if you know it's coming - the problem Protosses faced was that there was no good way to scout it, and blindly preparing for it would leave you behind against a Zerg just making drones.

Against the 1/1/1, Protosses know it's coming, do builds they believe should be optimal, and still get rolled by Terrans with mediocre execution. That's the problem, you can't even theorycraft a consistent response, much less apply one in an actual game.


Not yet anyway.

you realize that 30% isnt even half of the students right?!
apart from that socke is 24 which means he graduated soonest with 19 (18 according to your calculations) and then he still had to fulfill his military service. so he is certainly NOT a teacher yet....

Observe terrans: this is how you can RUN AWAY FROM STORM even if you are incredibly behind - still not enough for diestar, though good control

yup; diestar controlled much better in the last engagement imo
