Never.
I think this is the right thing for him to do. I've never played SC2 in my life and I'm a rabid viewer -- when I first started out watching GSL, his commentary was what helped me learn the game faster. What if potential new fans are tuning into IEM?
As long as Artosis is there to point out higher-level things

Ohana, Mvp top left, Vortix bottom right
3:00- Mvp goes CC first, Vortix goes hatch first then pool.
5:00- Mvp throws down a double gas, fast factory after barracks. 2 gas for Vortix as well.
8:00- Mvp throws down a starport, tech lab on starport, reactor on factory. Cloak for banshees on the way. Two hellions out. Third hatchery going down for Vortix. Speed and 20 lings finishing up.
11:00- Banshee and viking out for Mvp. Lots of hellions roasting the zerglings, and get quite a few drones (~11). Baneling nest and spire going down for Vortix right after the lair finish. Mutalisks coming out.
14:00- Double tech lab factory for Mvp, but no big anti-air to the 8 mutalisks. Mvp in trouble from very basic muta harrass! Hellions countering into drone lines. 34 drones killed. Mvp: 97 food. Vortix: 84 food.
16:00- Thors out now, siege and siege tanks on the way. Early raven! Three bases for Mvp vs. four bases for Vortix. Infestors coming out, as well as 60 lings total.

Because if MVP doesn't scout he's not going to know - most mech players wait to 200/200 but because of the huge econ damage the 200/200 push will come a lot later.
Starting to invest in ravens already. 16 minute mark on 3 base. He's starting early so he has the energy later, but that takes away his mech attack timings.
