I actually enjoyed watching and casting the game quite a lot. It was one of the funnies games I've seen in ages. Both players made mistakes but the game was still very entertaining. Don't know why some people starting hating on it. And believe me: both of them took the game serious, although Morrow was fully aware of the huge lead he had.
I think this game needs to break the double-standard that alot of people have for players in certain situations. I mean when MKP shrugs his shoulders and bum-rushes tanks with marines in tvt, we all cheer and enjoy him playing because it makes the game fun and entertaining. I think that alot more players need to be allowed to do this. It takes alot of skill to nuke like that or do concaves like that, and I agree that Leenock would at one point just give up, saying "well I guess I'll just get nuked now".
And sometimes, players get stressed/something during a game and their gameplay suffers. If it's late enough, a game gets hilarious and wonderful. It's sort of like soccer players doing tricks and screwing around when they're four or five goals ahead

Why don't Terran use Ravens more vs. Brood Lords? They literally CAN'T escape Seeker Missile and they get shredded quite easily.
It's a perfect counter late game.
such a big investment and tech change

Oh btw. as Morrow played on my account I was able to set up a camera in the room and record him playing all of the matches. I still have to edit them but I plan on releasing the videos in a few days. I want to thank Morrow for allowing me to record the matches as well as the NASL for allowing me to post them!

Yea Ravens are damn good vs broodlords, but cost twice as much as a ghost, cannot cloak, require upgrade for seeker missle.
Ravens are damn good vs Broodlords and I have made posts about it before. I am a Terran player and I use them.

Ghosts are more cost efficient.
HSM costs a lot of energy, is on a unit that costs a lot of gas, and does 100 damage if the Zerg spreads his brood lords. If he doesn't - that game happens, but a Zerg who knows how to play vs. HSM will spread his broods and won't take as much damage.
Ghosts also double as counters to Infestors. Ravens don't.

Not to mention unless you are building 4-5 starports then they take a really really long time to get compared to ghosts.

They'll start using them when patch 1.4.3 changes the colour of the raven icon

LOL Gretorp and his fucking terran armour/turret range.

The blizzcon finals were as big a spectacle as the last game. The reason the games aren't considered great is because the decision making was so poor that people thought the games were thrown. Seeing two top players at the top of their game is amazing to watch. Its not about watching nukes land or lots of units die. Leenocks reaction timing and decision making the last game were so poor that I wonder if he took it seriously.

I had my glasses off cuddling with my girlfriend with the stream playing in the background. I heard them screaming about a nuke, I heard them screaming about Leenock not seeing it, I heard them screaming about it about to hit the army.
I bolted upright, blind as a bat, pressed my face against the screen eyes wide in amazement and jaw open as a dozen broodlords were incinerated by an enormous explosion in beautiful 1080p.
Cuddle time is over. epic quote is epic. What a hell of a match. I'd give up cuddles with some of the girls I've dated for that, too.  Some of the others would be watching it with me.
She plays mafia on team liquid! She didn't mind at all, she just giggled at the look on my face.
Also, dear MorroW: Please be that awesome every game. I've never been so happy as a zerg player to see dozens of broodlords dying at once.

It can be surprisingly difficult to keep up with mass nukes throughout the late game.

I like my showmatches to be entertaining as well as strategically excellent; though more often than not I'd prefer the former.
