That's pointless because he can't drone up anyway.

3 Base with 26 Drones, actually makes no sense, but keep on driving the hate train. | ||

Why stretch it out? it's a 4 day event and IEM has a lot of different games for spectating stretching matches out isn't that great for online spectators that are only interested in a single game, but IEM has to schedule for 4 days | ||

Since this is a tournament being held at a tradeshow, they want to start on the first day and end on the final day. Wednesday was group A and B, Thursday was group C and D, today is quarterfinals, tomorrow is semis, and Sunday is 3rd/4th and finals. i generally only watch BW and SC2, but I have watched some other things on stream during this. I've been trying to broaden my ESPORTS horizon and appreciation, even if I don't start following other games. Consider this a good opportunity to learn about LoL, Halo, whatever football game they were playing, GW2 (!), etc. EDIT: Or, you know, only watch a bit of Starcraft on a given day and do other stuff. | ||

If that was Shakura's MaNa would have not lost a unit. Edit: A player like MaNa can hold even on metal though. | ||

It's not funny at all it's completely normal. Warp prism drops are situational, and incredibly risky. Dropping templar got nerfed from BW to SC1. But Terran drops got buffed from SC1 to SC2... so obviously terrans do drops and Protoss barely ever use shuttle templar. | ||

Of course they're viable, but ghosts have the upper hand in that engagement. Remember these things: -With its area included, EMP outranges feedback. -Ghosts can also snipe templars -Templars are so slow that they're either too far back (Army dead by the time storms come), or too close (ghostbait), finding the correct positioning is tremendously difficult for protoss. -Terran, with scans and faster units usually have the sight advantage, observers can be easily shut down by terran Remeber that game MC vs PuMa on NASL finals on Tal'darim?? Game 6 I think. The ONLY reason MC won is because PuMa misplaced 2 ghosts, getting them close to a ramp outside MC's natural, where he didn't have vision upwards so MC could feedback them. It's basically the story of late-game PvT, you just wait for terran to make a mistake, if he plays it right, he'll always have a slight advantage. | ||
