You're so in the minority right now.
Casual viewers are what keeps a game like SCII growing.

Sentries are like the worst thing to get vs baneling drops and he gets a ton. ye didnt make sense to me at all. Well at that point he was mined out in his main and his third nexus was down so all he had was excess gas. would have been nice to have a templar archives instead of a dark shrine eh
He had no time to get storm and Archons do fuck all vs roaches though. Losing the third nexus was a huge deal, especially since he could have shut down vortix' main during the first attack with the DT.

A lot more people watch the game compared to how many play it at a reasonable level(or at all for that matter.)
Hm, well, i guess you have a point, but sometimes it feels like people who are trying to learn from the games get shafted in favor of those who are out at a barcraft or something looking to have a fun night who dont even play the game. I wish both could get what they wanted

The added stuff makes it much more difficult to quickly analyse situations I don't have any problem following anything on Ultra, my problem is following things with healthbars turned off. That is a problem too but having graphics needlessly maxed aswell makes it much harder to follow
I just said it doesn't make it harder to follow at all. I don't know why it does for you.
For instance pylon power is much better displayed with projected, overlapping textures instead of the dotted lines on Low.

Casuals are always the majority in events with more than 5k viewers.
