WE are not bashing players guys. I dont know why you dont get this.... We are pointing out things that they can improve on and having no second forge with 2000/2000 banked up is definitely something you can do in order to get farther ahead. Dunno how often we pointed out how great their unit control ist.

A lot of these comments here are just people hating because they want to hate. I have the feeling some dont even pay attention to what we actually say. Pretty sad to be honest

For someone who came up known for beastly vs Z, HerO vs Z not looking so strong in the last 3 games I've seen him in (Code S and GSTL). His vT has reached beast levels though apparently. Hope Maru can do some drop-everywhere strategy and test HerO multitasking. I think that's his best bet as HerO has pretty good 200/200 deathball management I think.

Since everyone's on this kick to make eSports known worldwide, etc. etc. why would you want that? If someone throws an interception, makes a bad pass, misses a block, gets a penalty, or any other type of blunder in any other "real" sport, they don't make excuses for them... like well he would have caught that pass but he was running so fast down the field which was amazing!!!, that he didnt catch it! No...

These are professionals, playing for money, as a living. Why protect them from their blunders, I guarantee HerO agrees that he let his macro slip - and there is no reason to hide it with excuses like he was under intense micro battles throughout the game, I've seen plenty of players who can maintain high level macro while microing their hearts out (see: MKP @ MLG), I've seen HerO do it, but this game is not an example of that...

It just kind of upsets me when people get butthurt that casters call out players for blunders, they are professionals...

His ZvP has always looked shaky vs top Zergs. My personal feeling is that his ZvP style (FFE but with a general unwillingness to commit, always trying for management games) gives the very top Zergs too much room to maneouver. I agree he made some uncharacteristic execution errors in his last ZvPs though.

His PvT is looking absolutely beastly right now though, he has an excellent shot to make it out of this group now I think.

I should not have used the word "bashing" alright, but english is not my first language and I didn't quite grasp the negative connotation carried by the word. But I don't think it's Khaldor's job to "criticize" players on things they "can improve" anyway. Saying on air "He should just macro and multitask better" is like saying to athletes "RUN FASTER!". Everybody knows you can do that better, but it's actually very hard to improve on that at their level.

The thing is that Tastosis tend to have a good mix of positivity/criticism. Obviously some games are just bad and they aren't afraid to say so. Yet they highlight the good things players do along with the bad. Wolfdor is a very good tandem imo but they tend to devolve into a circlejerk of who can point out the most things the players are doing wrong and often focus on that rather than the thing the other player did to expose the mistake. I would rather have that instead of overhyped crap but I think it is something they can fine-tune if they want to go from good to great.
