Examples: PvP - JYP vs MC, HSC4 PvZ - DRG vs MC, BlizzCup PvT - MC vs Puma Games 4/5, MC vs MKP in this very tournament All of those matchups can be considered shit/boring, but once you get insane players, it's irrelevant. | ||

Zerg went from roach/hydra/corruptor into baneling drops into roach/infestor into ling/infestor into roach/ling/muta and with a spine crawler reliant brood lord/infestor base lategame. What did protoss do, well bro we either 2base or go for archon toilets. they believe it gives them the best chance to win. Hooray for innovation. o; | ||

We have literally been seeing the same things from Protoss for ages now, it's like they don't even know how to expand past a natural or something before 18 minutes. You know what happens when you leave Zerg alone and try to take a fast third without gaining some sort of advantage in the early game? 200 vs 110-120 supply and the Zerg rolls you over, this is the basis of Stephano's ZvP. Unless you trade with insane cost efficiency which is very difficult. It's just how the matchup is right now. | ||

They all lost it at some point As much as that meme is, well, whatever it is, it seems like so, so many casters just do not do anything to educate themselves. It seems criminal that people who do it professionally somehow ends up with so little knowledge both about the game and about the players. d'Apollo is not perfect, but his research into what the hell is going on is something to be emulated for sure. I have said it before, but whenever the question comes up casters will say that they are too busy. Busy doing what? Some of them might be semi-professional and have outside jobs, in which case I guess I can kind of understand, though to be fair tons of TL people with full time jobs have a lot more knowledge. But mostly it is full-time casters. It is mind-boggling. | ||

How many great TvZ or TvTs can you think of compared to how many great P mu. There can be great games but they arent as common when P is playing | ||

Also on OT: I cant wait for Demuslim vs DRG, can he do to DRG as he did to Nestea?  Heh. At the MLGs, the... large... crowd winds up getting there early, and camping seats. I assure you, there are more active people floating along the back and edges, sitting on the floor, and in the player's pit. (Most of the pros look pretty fit - the foreign ones at least.) Also, at the FPS/Fighter game stages. Or trying (in vain) to pick up the Dr. Pepper girls. | ||
