Stop trying to sell us tickets. We get it. I don't like casters pushing tickets like this during a cast, just comes across as non-professional.

Except this is exactly what being professional is...
I already hate the "non professional" argument, but it's even worse when being mis-used.


By being professional I mean as compared to sports casters (the only thing I think we can really compare SC2 casters too imo). It is not the job of the sports caster to sell tickets/advertise etc. You want to run an ad in between games selling me tickets? That's fine. The casters are there to talk about what's going on with the game, not to interject that with ads. To me that is being unprofessional as in they are doing something that shouldn't be their job.


What the fuck are you serious...

I've heard commentators for sports and random events talk about their sponsors all the time. "We'd like to thank <insert vehicle company> or McDonalds for helping give money to this basketball tournament or random football bowl/cup. I don't see how it's any different from Moletrap and Khaldor repping GOMTV.


What sports is this for? I primarily watch NFL games and some college football / bball. The only time I ever hear a caster say anything about sponsors is saying like "Welcome to the Visa Halftime Show". I don't even count that as it's what the show is actually called.

I usually don't like watching TvP, but this map isn't too bad for it. Did NaNi go Nexus first again?

If you're on Slayers and Terran, your worst match-up is against Protoss.


Yes, and the map is Calm Before the Storm, so I have NaNiWa pegged to win.

or that naniwa played poorly

are you serious?


It's okay. They fail to see that Polt virtually had to do nothing to make his attack succeed and would rather look that Naniwa made a mistake. That's the problem with playing against Terran. It's never the simplicity of their build that shouldn't work in the first place that comes into the question, it's "You defended poorly." Even when you have more supply, or are an extra base ahead. Just call'em blind.


Because it's that simple. THAT is how you improve at this game. It's a problem with western culture mentality. Kids like you would rather blame imbalance than supposed you can do things better to improve your play. Naniwa made a ton of mistakes. Simple as that.

Polt's build was easy to pull off, and he made no mistakes pulling it off, simple as that. Simple. Stop whining.


Polt made no mistakes pulling it off? Please tell me this is a fucking joke. He played awful the entire game, just as bad as Naniwa did at the end.



name a single mistake polt made, please I dare you.

Concussive shell forgotten

Are you sure that was a mistake?


If he chose to not get concussive shell pushing with mostly marines against stalkers was a mistake. Either way, it was a pretty significant mistake.


How is that a mistake? Conc shell does nothing for marines.


Uh, because Naniwa could just attack him with stalkers all the way back to his base? If he turns and fights Naniwa can just micro his stalkers instead of getting them all killed because they're slowed. I said mostly marines, not only marines.

mariness with 1 marauder and you think its not a mistake?

He went for combat shields first, maybe concussive wasnt a part of the build.

then I name it badly planned! meh maybe it would work in a different situation.. I dunno

Wow. Naniwa got Calm Before the Storm... lucky guy.

Tbf he had to play leenock on belzerg beach.


The winter version, which has had a lot of protoss success. Belshir beach is a pretty balanced and good map as far as I'm concerned.

You know Nestea just can't micro. That was his problem on Daybreak with the Ultralisks and Infestors too... He just doesn't watch his units/know how to move around the map tactically, setting up flanks and such. You can't be super passive pure macro style anymore, Nestea used to win with pure mechanics but now he can't get away with it. Sad to see my favorite player in such a state.


Surely Micro is a part of Mechanics. Mechanics to me is Micro+Macro. What Nestea always had was excellent decision making, which he showed in this game before his inability to keep up in the Micro battle rattled him and he started making silly (still mostly Micro) mistakes.

Polt didn't play perfect because he didn't cancel/kill the Nexus with his first push.

But after that, Polt outplayed Naniwa heavily with decision making/micro.

You will rarely kill a competent Protoss player's nexus with the first 2 rax push.

Maybe he was cold?


Maybe he wanted to take off his gloves to show when he's super cereal mode, but realized he's playing an RTS, so he brought a scarf to deliver the same message!

SCARFLESS NANI = IT'S ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Nani.
