He flew 3 medivacs and 2 or vikings into Fanta's marines. That's when Fantasy got a clear lead in the game. Don't think we can say that he throw away the game though. The map reminds me of that really bad map in the start of WoL. the one with the rocks in the back of your main and you had a choke at your natural. The attack path is smaller to bounce back and forth, and the defending path is longer wich make this map really terrible in my opinion. And also drops and air is really strong on this one.. Like the first Thorzain game in proleague he played against a zerg who just went mass muta, When thorzain pushed out the zerg just went around and harrassed.
he got harrassed? what madness! it should just be 2 balls clashing into eachother!

I don't want to be mean, but becoming a caster when you have such a noticeable speech impediment might not be the best of ideas...

But if BW is more popular why did they switch over?
BW seemingly had more fan support, but they couldn't find sponsors for BW leagues. honestly I think the current situation with sc2 is no better. all the big sponsors are flocking to The Champions which is OGN's League of Legends tournament, and it has really big crowds for every match. LoL has basically filled the void left by BW. Sc2 is sort of a side project, as seen by them not having every match hosted in the main studio. We'll see how this season goes but so far I don't think Proleague is as successful with the local audience as they had hoped.

Why did all the pros switch over then? Corporate decision. Blizzard Kespa eSF came to a decision. Probably Blizz talked about licensing among other initiatives.
Also lack of major sponsors for tournaments, i'd say.

BW scene still alive and kicking. There are actually quite a lot of tournaments for foreigners, and a handful Korean tournaments too. The Sonic Ranking Tournament is currently going on, Sea is playing in it along with some other great players, Larva, Tyson++
The SSL is the bigger event with a big live finals and a decent prize pool. There's the Swedish Brood War Inivitative's Nation Wars, defiler.ru's tournaments, and even more.
Quality of games isn't what it used to be, but it's still fun to watch, and still awesome.
Also, superclutch bunker for TaeJa's marine. Lucky bastard.

Pretty sexy reaction from taeja. Pretty much a perfectly timed response down to the last marauder shot.

Phew, thought I'd miss it.
What's with all those KeSPA terrans who go full tech outside their bases ? :p

whats up with these casters?
KeSPA/IEG backed out of a deal with OGN to produce an English cast at the last second. Apparently IEG sold the English broadcast rights to this company SpoTV (guessing), which hired whatever random guys were willing to fly to Korea at the last second (read: also didn't already have a casting job). They got Whiplash, who is they former pro-gamer that makes sense and is easy to understand, and Supernovaman, who is the guy with the speech impediment who contradicts himself and repeats himself redundantly constantly. Also, SNM tends to talk over Whiplash when pondering the player's strategy and has no idea what he's talking about when he does so.
No foreseeable change in casters is incoming. Luckily most of the time OGN puts out a Korean stream that is relatively easy to run via VLC. Not today though. Mute is your friend.

My guess would be partially because of pressure from Blizzard over legal disputes, and partially because they thought that fans would start to transition over more. Based on audience sizes it doesn't look like things are going quite as well as the expected, however.
