DRG vs Lucifron he was using a heavy ling muta counterattack style similar to zenex line, to get out more drones. Also you don't need that many banes if your already ahead. In the rain game, DRG saw a late seigemode, so bane speed wasn't a big deal and delaying it can get you a slightly better economy. The little things pro-players do add up. Also he kept complaining about heroes force fields and not using them when he actually used them all. I mean it just bothers me when he says that's a mistake, when there's legitimate reasons to do that. Besides pointing out player mistakes distracts from the energy of the game, and i think its more casters trying to inflate their own ego. It annoys me when tasteless and artosis point out mistakes which actually may not be. Just some opinion, good tourney so far! T v P dissapoints me tho :/ err delayed seige means less money into tanks, which means more money into marines, so bane speed is MORE important when you see a delayed seige mode.
Nah dude, RedDragon571 knows more about these kind of things than Pro players who praise apollo for his knowledge and casting, who also used to be a decent Zerg player before becoming a caster. :p

Anyone know what is playing right now?
Foster The People...can't remember if that's the song name or band name. One of those two.
EDIT: It was the band name. Pumped Up Kicks is the song.

T v P dissapoints me tho :/ Wow you must have a hard time ever enjoying any games if you think that much about any small imperfections in what the casters say :\ nah i enjoy the games fine, but as somebody who really likes the competitve side of the game, the technical small things detract sometimes that's all. Just a slight annoyance. It just makes me sad to think, theirs gold league lil zergies out their thinking that if they don't get bane speed right away their idiots or something. I think casters miss out on some of the higher parts of high level play. It simplifies the game when they don't include them. Sorry but TB and apollo don't understand like day9 can or Idra or QXC, and wolf's pretty solid too.
you seem to be putting your viewpoint accross speaking as a very good zerg (or at least that you think youre a very good zerg, so what league are you in?

Naniwa goes for "lesser" cheese because he doesnt want to play macro. Everyone gives him crap.
Then Hero the savior goes for the "complete" cheese, maybe people will accept it now...
hf with the rest, im out DT complete cheese? I guess cloak Banshee is complete cheese too.
No its not, proving my point lol. When you go for DTs and it doesnt work youre probably dead. Hero only beat Idra because Idra didnt go for the killing blow.
A banshee will hardly go down if you know what youre doing it will almost always kill 2-3 probes and afterwards its a nice addition to your army and a constant thread. T can go banshee at little risk, just like hellions, low risk high reward :/

I think it's notable to say that thorzain got to the finals by playing his best matchup(TvP) and DRG got to the finals by playing his best matchup (ZvT)
Def think DRG got this, although thorzain looked impossible to beat so far.
Yeah DRG got this, he's still playing his best matchup while Thorzain's playing his worst TvZ. Should be a 3-0, I hate to sound like such a non-believer since Thorzain's my favorite player too, but it's the grim reality. Unless SlayerS (especially MMA) taught him a few things to help against Zerg and DRG.

Because it's a 1-day event
Every event doesn't need to be a drawn out 3-day thing.
