Very much this. Axslav is a great caster and I hope he is back for future shows.

You know the games are likely going to go very late if they start at say 11 or 12 korean time it's obviously going to go past 2-3 AM most likely against teams that are fairly evenly matched.

It does attempt to take away from EG's victory. International teams face international problems -- TL isn't the only one. This statement just felt like a wet blanket to me. GGs to both squads but most definitely to the only foreign hope, Stephano. | ||

I think Kenningit's post was pretty useful as well, didn't seem sour to me. I mean people were wondering who was playing cross-server etc, seems handy to give us a sense of when the games were played | ||

Beating broodlords is just usually not cost-efficient without getting an archon toilet. Even though I'm a Liquid fan congrats to EG! Stephano having a great debut as an EG member in the IPTL. Stephano was miles ahead after he shut down both his prism play at the start and then the sentry/immortal attack by killing those sentries. I'll agree that PvZ lategame is problematic, but Hero wasn't in a good position for the entire game, so we can't simply say it was all in the lategame imbalance (if there even is one not getting into that discussion here). Kennigit: Sad to hear that, but sadly that is almost unavoidable if the two different teams are based on 3 different continents... Out of interest what kind of timewindow does IPL give the teams? 24 hours? 48? (edited to make my point clearer) | ||

He knows that all you need is 65 drones for a 12 minute roach max, he explained the reason why Stephano had a much larger bank (Traded 100 supply for 300+ of Hero's). Great job. I hope IPL keeps him for good. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=271689 He already has one! | ||
