Id say his tvp and tvt is probably the strongest of any foreigner atm, his pvz is lacking alot tho which is why he never gets real far in most tournaments. | ||

I clicked this thread by accident and decided to read through it after I saw some post on the bottom of Page 1 about KR bashing a map (which I thought meant Korea). Come to find out it was only KawaiiRice, but then I got to see some Zelniq drama! And some games were played too? Oh... Honestly, couldn't have told you if NASL Season 2 was even still running. | ||

Season 3 they need to hire a new main caster, and keep Gretorp around for what they have Wombat(Who I personally don't enjoy his casting)/Orb (Who's casting I love)/etc. doing. Then they need to play some live matches. NASL Season 2 is basically live-watching VoDs....it's literally anti-hype | ||

"and that's a HUGE HUGE HUGE mistake." all he does is talk about what they did wrong, blowing it way out of proportion every time. That's pretty much what every caster does and it's the most annoying thing about watching SC2 pro games. The guy on the Korean Weekly tourney does the same thing, always saying what these Korean pros should have done. The worst part is that the way he talks, it seems like he honestly thinks that he knows better than all of these high level Korean pros when they would destroy him in under 5 minutes. You don't see Dick Vitale (or any sportscaster) harping on every turnover or minor mistake that a team makes just so he can build up his own ego. This is something SC2 casters really need to be aware of and to just stop it. | ||

This is something SC2 casters really need to be aware of and to just stop it. Orb says what he says because he actually does know an insane amount about the game, and he's actually pretty good at the game. On top of that, I see it all the time in sportscasters, that's why we see replays of turnovers and fumbles like 4 times in a row, and then more later on. The fact of the matter is casters are allowed to point out mistakes because ITS THEIR JOB. I'd rather watch Orb describe what the IDEAL response in that scenario would have been, instead of hearing "OMG FANTASTIC EMPS!" or "GREAT FORCEFIELDS" every time someone uses said spell. You don't have to be able to play at top tier professional levels to KNOW the game at a top tier professional level. Casters are able to make statements like that because they can see what the players cant, namely both players supply counts, production tabs, etc. I prefer the analytic casts to listening to Tasteless talk about pirate birds while a player is losing an expansion. | ||

The map is called "TPW Damage Inc" by Mereel (from The Planetary Workshop). TPW Damage Inc - map thread | ||

We weren't informed until the LiveZerg/dKilleR matches were being played, but it was a walkover. Stephano/Drewbie are squaring off in the Losers Bracket in today's broadcast. | ||
