Because it looks fucking terrible for observing. Simple as that really...


I disagree. IMO, higher settings look worse. The added stuff makes it much more difficult to quickly analyse situations


Casual viewers like shiny things

Don't have to be a casual viewer to enjoy high graphics settings

If my computer didn't die every time I set my graphics to anything higher than medium, I would totally play on Ultra every game.
Yup, same, except I'm limited to low.


I am too. GPU is fine, but CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GhZ overclocked to 2.4. When this was a good CPU, trilobites were the dominant subphylum on Earth.

Erm... yes.

I understand the things you said.


MY COMPUTER IS SHITE

oh god I started a Stephano style chain!

Roach infestor battles on max graphics without health bars or stronger team colors or something was horrible earlier, its better with health bars tabbed on during the battle now but streams are much more enjoyable on low shaders etc, maxed textures and effects with health bars always on if not using a really good observer who ALWAYS has the right things selected (Adebisi, Legend) IMO

Am i the only one that prefers visual clarity to "higher" graphical settings, post processing, depth of field etcetc in esports?

Almost all pros put their graphic settings to low when they play.

you can't possibly believe that the majority of the community would prefer to watch low graphics over ultra, that's just absurd

No of course not...
Draz made it sound like the reason that high graphics are used is because of casual viewers new to the game, but I was saying that you don't have to be a casual viewer to enjoy SC2 on full graphics.
More Graphics, not less!

was referring to Cyro :s

Well then... carry on.

Vortix attacks were pretty sexy this game, everything finished right on time even though he kind of botched the first one.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Vortix hates drone it seems. He played this way to qualify too.

I don't understand Husky's point about DTs and warnings.

If you are being attacked by a DT during a big battle 1) if the battle is big enough, will the red cursor over your main where drones are dying disappear or 2) if the battle is big enough, you won't hear the voice?

If the former, how quickly does the red cursor disappear. As for the latter, doesn't the voice only speak once?
