Replay packs are always released post-tournament. You will be able to find them on the www.shoutcraft.com website. We also try to have them posted in the liquipedia as well.

I said the exact same when TZ was beating DarkForce yesterday so don't accuse me of any bias tyvm. The turtle style is just not fun to watch for me, no matter which race plays it, or against who they play it.

To be fair, that's the best way to play the matchup when you want to win macro games now. Moving out on 2 bases in TvZ ( like a 3 tank push ) is so risky if your push get caught. You need to advance slowly into a nice position and start working from here with a lot of macro to back it up. Sure, but it would be nice to see some powerful timings more earlier on.

Yeah it might be, and I don't necessarily mean TvZ, but I just don't find it fun to watch ^^. Not saying he shouldn't do it, if it works for him, then gogo.

Hahaha dude, you really think he didnt target fire with his tanks?

Well, there's almost no timing left to exploit against zerg. They learned to deal with every timing attack before the 15min mark. The usual build ( 2 bases 3 hatch spire ) is so hard to abuse and Fast 3 bases cover by Hellions is so strong. Noone try risky play anymore. Even fOrGG who killed everyone in ladder with a 1base agression into 2 bases all in use a more macro opening in tournaments.

Your one sided thinking is evident. It's okay, If no one says anything the quality will remain the same, but that's fine because he appeals to very large audience rendering my opinions invalid.

95% of European pro's play a no rush 20 minutes style unfortunately. I agree it can get pretty dull. A lot of people seem to judge the quality of a game based on the game clock in the bottom left. To me there's nothing more beautiful than seeing clean and beautiful aggressive play like say Jjakji vs Sen in GSL the other day.

Your question was clearly a rhetorical one. You get answers in the same level as you post, please get off your high horse.

Why be such a hypocrite. It's ok for you to flame TB when it's his tournament and his money but not ok for people to flame your flame?

So pretty much a free third for Tzaihn. Strange that ret isn't checking for the greedy play, tzain has been doing it the last week.

I was being sarcastic in my apology. I don't really care if I hurt some fans feelings. In reality I can't argue with people who are unwilling to accept valid criticism because they can't get their feelings and emotions out of the way.
My question was answered. That doesn't mean the answer is right. So no, it wasn't rhetorical.

Valid criticism? You gave no examples of when TB has made a horrible call this tournament. I also don't see why being enthusiastic whilst casting is bad. And finally, not that it matters, he isn't even silver league. I like TB because of what he does for the sc2 community, and the fact that he's growing the sc2 fan base. Surely putting 5k of your own money on the line more than makes up for some questionable calls?

Both games thorzain had no spotter in the smoke nydus spot in his main, ret saw it both games and didn't take advantage of it :/
