Getting ripped by it on ladder these days as well.. zerg found out how strong mutas are. Mutas have been used for so long and have always been strong. SangHo made some stupid mistaked that cost him the game.

No, I prefer it. I don't care how it looks, I want all the information possible.
At IPL they had a poll and the majority wanted healthbars on, so they stuck with that.

And where is their own overlay on IEM? If you keep calling him FD (which he is) take 30 seconds to make an overlay and put the actual players names up there rather then using blizzard's horrid default name overlay

MLG also "planned" to increase the prizepool by a lot this year according to what was established prior to that statement and they failed to deliver.
Take their words with a grain of salt.
I am not trying to hate on mlg or something, but sundance sure loves to hype stuff even though it might not happen.

I feel like if you are going to cast you should have the knowledge of each race in the game equivalent to grand masters knowledge in order to cast big tournaments. your post is so wrong T.T i think they work really well together. and about their knowledge: rotterdam is probably the most skilled full time caster and bitter is pretty good aswell (high master i think).

I kind of missed the end, but didn't Killer have a favorable army there at the end or no? He still more than likely would have lost, but seems like he should have played it out.

You can see HP from the wireframe. It is seriously annoying to have the entire screen taken up by a bunch of colored bars

I'm wondering if we're going to see mass phoenix develop as a counter to this kind of style. I'm no pro but I can't see any real weakness mass phoenix would have if you were really good about using graviton beam.

I actually prefer health bars turned on. Would be nice to have some kind of poll showing what the average viewer prefers?

Phoenixes are bad vs Muta. (Off topic, but just crossed my mind)

lol that was dirty by FruitDealer, Sangho why wouldn't you bring probes lol facepalm. Exciting tho

SC2 has been WAY more successful in 2011 than in 2010 for MLG, so it's extremely likely 2012 will feature a much bigger prize pool.

Penixes really need to do some kind of splash damage
yea penixes tho? but maybe they should just launch nukes per attack and destroy muta balls in one shot........ Phoenix micro if u know how to micro can endlessly kite mutas. Unless u r a noob and dunno how to micro and just 1a ur phoenix into the mutas then yes u should lose all ur mutas

Mutas will allways outnumber Phoenix and are way more useful overall.

He had 2 buildings left on the map with the entire zerg army attacking them and his army was across the map? Wasn't going to play that out.
