Why must there be argument about casting ability when we have such awesome games on? Surely this can go in a new thread entitled 'why x caster is better than y caster'. Enjoy the great zvt people! This one is shaping up very nicely, Ret adapted to Thorzain more in that last game I think

For the record: TB + Apollo rock! But even if I didn't think so, I would not bother discussing it here.

The amount of gas a zerg needs to beat a terran late game is absurd. Man ghosts are cost-effective.

Great play by Ret though, thorzain should attempt to finish games off before the final tier.


The thing is, it's hard to get from Marines to Ghost safely.
And even with a LOT of Ghosts, it's hard to use them to snipe efficiently. I see a lot of european trying the ghost style but often they clumped the ghost and get fungaled.
It's so important to get the money emp on the infestor before going all around sniping.

And one thing Thorzain seems to not like is Nuke harass, while it's a great way to buy you time.

Tanks Thor Ghost Medivac + all the production is not very cheap either. :d
Ghost are not that high in gas, but they're high in mineral. That's what make it hard to get ghost without hurting the marine production.

That's kind of sad that it takes such a minimal effort from you to brand me as a troll. The communities love rallying behind troll hunts.

Also sick game by Ret! I love seeing ghosts get molested by a rain of broodlings :D

It's certainly very hard but whether it can't be beaten is up for debate.

The only player I've really ever seen convincingly beat mass ghosts was leenock vs ForGG game 1 in the the most recent GSL. Leenock did a large push with broods to reset the tank count and then remaxed on baneling/roach. Got massive baneling hits on a clump of the ghosts.

Although what ret did there might be the simplest response, just keep throwing units at them before they can build up 25+ ghosts.

Someone remind me why a player who is in silver league with no StarCraft history is casting these games? Find another caster and make TB a dedicated observer.


Choose from the following reasons:

A) Because it's our tournament.
B) Because he sacrifices his stream income for the prize pool for every SCi.
C) Because he and dApollo are a casting pair.
D) All the above.

*Please note: Everyone is entitled to their opinion with regards to my husband's casting ability/performance, however it will never affect the casting team selected for this tournament (for obvious reasons).


Like Husky said, people will hate, no matter what you do. Even if Tb was a GM player, someone would find a reason to flame.
The better way to deal with that kind of people is to ignore them.


He also offered no criticism of how his "silver league"-ness actually affects the cast. He's just saying he's bad at this game.


Being in silver league casting progamer level play is my criticism. It's irritating at times considering he makes the wrong calls, over enthusiastic, doesn't listen to what Apollo syas and will follow up essentially repeating the same things over and over because he lacks proper experience and education of the game. I never said he was horrible, I never said I didn't like him, I simply stated it should be considered, but I'm wrong since it's his event so go for it.

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. I'm sorry(but not really sorry) if I offended all of you, I thought I could openly ask a question or state my opinion without getting flamed for bad manner and what have you.


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?


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?



I don't believe I have to give examples, but in the event that I really have to then I will. Just for you. I never said being enthusiastic while casting is bad, I said being overly enthusiastic. Which happens pretty much every engagement in which he yells into the microphone, scrambles his words, and presents false theories of who will win based off his lack of education. Last time I watched him stream he was in silver league. If he is in gold now, the concept is the same. I appreciate his efforts too with the community. That doesn't mean he is immune to my criticism.

doesnt this describe pretty much every casts in every sports?

It's been Warcraft 2 music these last few breaks.
And it's not exactly hard to find game music on the internet, most of it can probably even be found on youtube if you know what you're looking for.

Yes but mineral collection is much easier than gas collection.
