I'll admit I made some bad decisions that game.. but the major ones weren't even mentioned by either of the casters because they were too busy criticizing me for things that didn't even make sense, overly berating me for things that were relatively insignificant, because their knowledge/understanding is lacking. Like for example they went on a huge tirade about how stupid and terrible I am for getting +2 air attack, when I had suddenly stopped muta production and switched to infestors. Is it really so hard to understand that I started that +2 attack before I noticed he was only going marine? My mutas saw a forward factory w/ tech lab, and most every terran gets tanks. But once I noticed that he wasnt getting tanks, that's when I started going pure ling/bane/infestor. They've no excuses, they both piled on me yet could clearly see how far along the upgrade was. Another example was shortly before the end, after a battle went in my opponent's favor, and all I had left over were a few infestors all with < 75 energy off creep, there were stimmed marines were chasing them down and there was no way for them to escape. So when the infestors spammed their remaining energy on infested terrans before dying, gretorp points out how dumb I am for casting the infested terrans in a spot that blocked the infestors from retreating.............except stimmed marines chasing them/even being microed to move and attack were going to kill the infestors no matter what anyways, regardless of where I casted the terrans? It's like you said.. does gretorp not know that stimmed marines outrun infestors? Yet another example would be when my 3rd had just finished, and the larvae had just built up to 3, gretorp points out that mistake in some annoying fashion whose wording I don't remember. But he doesn't just stop there, no that's not enough. He has to use that instance of not-spending 2 larva before it goes up to 3, (which really was a fairly major factor in BW at all points in the game for zerg to try to avoid, but in SC2 after a certain point, keeping a hatchery's larva below 3 becomes fairly insignificant compared to larva injects/how well you're doing them. which btw up to 9 minutes it was perfect, each queen's energy was below 25 when the spawn larva popped off the hatch. at 12 min my queens have a whopping 30 energy and 34 energy as the spawns pop, OMG TERRIBLE MACRO), as his gateway to go into a relatively long rant about how terrible I am and how my macro's falling apart. That was just the tip of the iceberg though. They berated me almost nonstop.. if I had the vod I could give more examples. I always hate it when casters bash players for nonsensical reasons or blowing relatively insignificant mistakes/imperfections way out of proportion.. but this was too much. And I only tuned in for the last 80% of the final game, I don't even know what they said about me before then. I don't know who that other caster was, but gretorp man I am disappointed. | ||

I just went over the replay, not a single time did that happen. Iin fact the only infestor that ever got killed with fungal energy was right before the end, when i was reacting to a drop and he sniped one infestor at that time.

I always hate it when casters bash players for nonsensical reasons or blowing relatively insignificant mistakes/imperfections way out of proportion.. but this really took the cake. And I only tuned in for the last 80% of the final game, I wonder how much more I missed before then. I don't know who that other caster was, but gretorp man I am disappointed. I missed that. Sorry that you got worked over so hard though. | ||

We're going to release all the replays after the tournament so everyone can see all the games that were played. Stephano vs LiveZerg and KiLLeR vs Drewbie were W.O's | ||

He was at a LAN event I think and couldn't come, although we weren't informed until afterwards. Generally we were relatively accommodating to LAN's and other stuff and always gave people 1 chance to postpone... but when we don't hear anything from the player, we can't do it. Just a communication issue~ | ||
