Lol, well that was a funny series. Very low/mid-masterish gameplay by both parties. One could question whether they take this whole progaming stuff seriously or not. :p

I want Playhem to organize some proper showmatches between good top-notch players, as they clearly have the money to do so.

Is Destiny even practicing sc2 anymore?

Shakura's is favored map for Protoss. More of those maps favor Protoss than Zerg, no reason to whine about maps. Yes though, the order of maps was kinda shitty, but Shakura's was second to last, which favors Protoss easily

Casters are making me want to cave my head in. They miss half the important action and talk as though 4 gate stargate +1 push is something new and amazing...

4 gate Stargate NEVER has a warp prism or +2 weapons with it. They call robo tech while watching a second cybernetics come up. They call a 6:10 third "very fast" when it's a Zerg playing against a forge expo. They nitpick on void ray micro and ignore the map vision and spreads.

I feel like a whiner. I love listening to Husky and Catspajamas... but this is just too much.

>.<

Usually I would pipe in and say that they've got great enthusiasm in trying to hype up games that are already over... but I can't really bring myself to believe they can even tell sometimes.

God... I'm such a whiner tonight...

EDIT: On a different note, I feel like Destiny's only really "won" the baneling bust game so far. All of the other games have either been iNcontroL losing after getting a lead via dumb decision making or simply outplaying Destiny completely.

If by 'favoured for Protoss' you mean scoring 47.7% instead of 42.7%, sure. Not sure how 47.7% makes Shakuras a Protoss map though, hmm?

iNcontroL beat himself in that set. He's not a strong gateway timing player but he tried them anyway. Was a good watch, though.

And namste, so you know: Destiny is GM and iNcontroL is top of his masters. Neither are "low-mid masters" players and both are top notch recognizable NA players. If you want Huk or Idra to play these, well, Idra charges $300 an hour to coach. A $100 showmatch where he has to wake up at around 4am to play, I doubt he'll be all that interested in.

Destiny does practice SC2. He doesn't stream it as much (think too many stream snipers and cheaters for him to enjoy it). I think he does LoL as a hobby in that, he puts in his 8-10 hours of work then unwinds with LoL. Or takes the occasional day off of SC2 and spends that time playing LoL.

I really hate people that bash players like this. It makes no sense. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to watch players they obviously don't like. Don't like, don't watch, QQ less.

Some of your critique is noted and makes sense. But we said multiple times that 4 gate stargate +1 push was becoming a very standard thing for protoss to do in the current meta game where zerg takes an early third. Not everyone is on top of SC2 constantly and to you and me it might seem as if this build has been around forever, but to others that might be different.

About the warp prism play you're quite right, you (practically) never see a 4gate stargate with a warp prism. I confused and mixed up words/builds there for a minute. I was going to get at warp prism pressure ive seen Liquid'Hero utilize and after that wanted to get back to 4 gate stargate which (depending on scouting) can be followed up by a Robo into colossi (JYP does this alot) Sometimes I want to share so many stories about things I have seen done, the stories get mixed up in eachother a little :D

Thanks for your feedback though, nice to hear some constructive negative feedback (:

Both Destiny and iNcontroL have GM accounts, this including seasons 3 and 4 seeing as season 5 is just a cluster of nothing am, and multiple Master's accounts with GM mmr.

If you are GM on NA it means nothing.
