Is it because of the thunderstorm going on in central europe? For me it's unwatchable even at 240p...

DRG won that LG Special Tournament right? I guess that doesn't count as a major tournament though.

Hope Thorzain wins. DRG dodged him like a punk in GSTL and forced Genius to play in his place.

So what if Apollo is occasionally critical of players? He usually prefaces it with saying he isnt the pro player and may not know what's going on. Tasteless and Day9 criticize top players all the time, and Apollo is probably as good as them.

He kept complaining about the bane speed timings, which were in fact fine. 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 :/

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?

It shouldnt matter but I'm in masters zerg, :/ , I guess you'd have to be decent at zerg to see some of the finer points to DRG's play.

and you think being masters makes you an expert? i offrace as zerg at a masters level yet have no dissilusions of knowing the game down to the smallest details

lol so butthurt everyone is, I'm just saying couldn't their be other reasons for not getting bane speed so early, I think they're are plenty.

Well when you say something quite silly, expect to be called out on it.

Whats silly about that?

You insinuating that apollo could be a gold scrub and doesn't know the competitive side of the game. Pretty silly.

Nah, I asked if hes another gold league caster, which hes not. Like look at these statements, DRG didn't get the scout off, he has NO IDEA whats going on, really. Guess his analysis rubs me the wrong way.
