Well, he always brings an air of professionalism with him, which I think we need in E-sports... But true, Axslav has the real analysis here... I'm sure Mr.Bitter could analyze as well tho!

Only thing he misses is a suit (no purple shirt though please) and a glass of whisky.


Not sure if serious but he's a player and representing his team, so no suit.

Yeah because LAN made Broodwar so terrible.


How is your reply about Broodwar as a game even relevant to the issue of piracy?


In fact i'm pretty sure BW and WC3 are the most pirated game in history haha :p

I wish I knew more about piracy when I was younger then... I think I have about 20 SC/BW battle chests lying around storage somewhere.

haha, yeah i do.

i don't really think they're useless but at times people mass them too much, especially given how many ghosts taeja already had...

Mass archon forces mass ghosts, and ghosts aren't cheap. We saw it in that game too, Taeja was able to get enough ghosts to neutralize the archons but because of the ghosts he couldn't get enough vikings.

That's the problem of lategame TvP, you need a good number of counter units for each thing the protoss throws at you - and you need brilliant micro as well.


So ghosts are too expensive to get both them and vikings, but toss can just mass archons and colossi at the same time because both units are so cheap?

Try the MLG app?

One for every caster. The game is being casted on the premium stream too.


Oh forgot they have +2 in-game observers (to spot action in multiple locations) per stream also.

I just want to say that I'm glad this is the finals. Both of these players deserve a LAN win at this point.

They have a twitch restream though. But I've always been able to watch on mlg website, as long as I had HD stream.

Nice games, but this is definitely the worst MLG, from a production standpoint, in a long time. Is there a place where we can leave feedback?


This thread, especially since I really want you to elaborate on that point given how imo this is the best production they have ever had at an arena O.o


The whole tournament looks like it is taking place in 2 rooms, with absolutely no live audience. The observing computer has a low framerate even when the graphics settings have been turned down in order to improve performance. Although I really like the analysis screen, MLG really needs to start rehearsing some of this stuff. The screen is too big so the casters have to stand partially in front of it, making it kind of awkward (most notably Axslav saying "look how fast the supply is dropping" when his head is in the way so you can't see it anyways). Also, why is everyone but Axslav wearing a suit? It's not necessarily his fault either, MLG has done enough events that they should have some extra clothing lying around. I don't think the casters should be entirely responsible for their appearance. A little makeup and hair styling could go a long way.

Perhaps "production" wasn't the right word, but I think this is a little less entertaining than the events with large audiences. This tournament has good games but absolutely no atmosphere. Even GOMTV's studio is more exciting than this.
I am a tournament organizazer.

Needs better t3 bio. Clearly we need a Marauderlord.

You evolve bc into marauderlord and it throws marauders at the enemy?


Well then I request a zealotlord as well. Or actually functioning carriers.

No, Alicia could mass both because he has an econ advantage. Also arguably protoss can mass their lategame armies more effectively due to having both mineral and gas sinks, but thats another topic entirely.

Anyway my point was that even though those archons may mostly just blow up few seconds into the fight, its possible they have still served their purpose.
