Stop with the USA USA chant shit. Further offenses beyond page 493 will be met with bans. You've been warned.

Idra should just start vetoing Tal'Darim. I've seen him get cheesed and lose on that map so many times. And every time the choke between the main and the natural gets blocked and then it's gg.
For Aiur???

people should stop calling somebody "top 5 korean terrans" based on results in foreign tournaments.
foreign tournaments do not represent korea or the world.
puma is NOT top3,top5 or top10 in korea just because he is better than all the foreigners. have you ever followed this tournament called "gsl" ?
puma hasnt even made code A there for a year now ...


Which means that the qualifier for Code A is retarded, not that Puma is not at least at Code S level.

Also IdrA will easily win this, and everyone who hates on him "for obvious reasons" is dumb.



Lol if you cant even make it through code A qualifier, and call it retarded, this mean that you are not consistent enough. Great player like MVP and Nestea is consistent to take 3 GSL? tell you enough?

Considering how often Koreans say "I just want to play good games for the fans", they sure do like to Bunker rush.

dApollo one of the few casters that obviously does research on players before he casts their matches (xHydrax on YT also comes to mind). mad respect! (why don't other casters do more of this??)


Apollo has the advantage (I guess) that he isn't just a caster, but also actually a rather active progamer, which I think does give him a advantage on having such information ready (from experience), but also on gaining such information (he is in a proteam from which he most likely can draw alot of information from and has alot of contact through this with other progamers and perhaps "whole" teams).

On top of that, he is rather new to the casting scene and I guess he knows his role as a caster, giving out insight not only of the tactical game from the progamers, but also in their history of matches, habits in that and alike.

From there on out it's just him being a super, and cute, good boy that will do his homework. ^ ^

That is my general take on it and I love him for it as well. xD


No idea if these advantages that I believe Apollo on this really is the reason why we don't see alot of other casters doing the same, just a theory.


It's got like almost nothing to do with being on a proteam, yes playing at a reasonably high level helps but that's not the reason he's able to know that MMA likes to do X in situation Y or Stephano does B in situation C. It's because he not only likes starcraft enough, but takes his job as a caster seriously enough to actually keep up and watch lots of events. There's no excuse for Doa to not know anything about how Stephano plays when coming to a tournament where he's heavily featured, just because he's in Korea. If Apollo can be aware of everything from euro tournaments to GSL to NASL/MLG, then someone who's meant to be a full time caster who only works like 3-4 days a week should be as up to date.

It's literally as simple as who bothers to put in the most effort.


I said that Appollo has a advantage, not that it's the sole reason for him doing his homework as a caster for the matches he needs to cast. I have pointed out that the rest (aside this advantage I think he has) is because he knows his role as caster and does his homework.

In the end it was just a theory, that's all. You don't have proof for anything concrete about this, I don't have any proof for it either, so whatever we both put forth is a opinion/theory crafting, pure simple as that in me eyes. xD


You didn't put forward any reason why it would help, you just said it would, that's not a theory that's just saying words for words sake. I wasn't insulting you or anything I just think it's a poorly thought out thing to attribute it to and kind of devalues the amount of effort he's bothered to put in.

I don't want to offend you but we really didn't do remotely the same thing, you can't just say things with no logical basis and then call it an opinion as if that protects it from making no logical sense. I mean we both agree Apollo is good at his job and I just don't see why you'd try to appropriate it to other factors.
