Proleague stream showed "Innovation" last time he played hopefully that means he changed it although GSL still has him listed as INnoVation so I guess we'll find out. I'll change it if I have to.
I know some people have done this in TvP (Light and MMA) but I feel like I haven't seen proxy thor TvT since Mvp smacked down MKP's in GSL Jan 2011 lol

Well he cheesed first with the proxy barracks!
Edit - Innovation/Bogus' proxy Thor was in response to the proxy barracks (good reaction).
Yeah I know, just sayin last time I saw him play he lost to 1 base nydus on Arkanoid (by Effort iirc). And now to proxy Thor. I guess Bo3 or Bo5 is better format for him :D

Because he's not eligible to play this round.
oh yeah woops. :D haha
The best thing for Juan would be fore T8 to be up 3-0 but lose, and have a Zerg out there for the other team. That way they feel safe to put him out, and it's his best MU. So this is always his best case scenerio.

You have to remember that TY proxied first and Innovation had to defend that. The proxy thor was in response to Ty's proxy
I don't get all the comments regarding 2010 or not having a refined Thor rush build... or poking fun at KeSPA players builds. Again the Thor rush was a reaction to the proxy barracks with tech lab.
Also remember that Innovation/Bogus made it to Ro4 Code S last GSL.
MajOr is on the official Team 8 roster this round, so he is indeed eligible to play. But they'll probably wait for the next round before they send him out (that's what Terminator said in his interview in the first week).

I think it's more that he decided to do it on a whim after scouting the proxy rax from Baby. I don't think he was planning to do a thor rush from the beginning. After scouting the proxy rax he knew Baby probably wouldnt have anything at home to defend the thors
Well.. I don't know how proxy reaper can be a "cheese," either, in 2013. Last time I saw that was GSL open season final. (final game on Scrap station, I think. HopeTorture went for rax before depot proxied or something like that)
I guess that strange map factors in? Does the ledge reach mineral lines?
These commentators are terrible. I personally don't like watching Nathanias's stream just because it doesn't get the game volume, but these two are actually just dreadful. One of them has a terrible voice for commentating while the other is clueless about the players and strategies. I know that everybody has talked about this in the past, but listening to them talk about Bogus was painful. Bogus's TvZ is actually really good, meanwhile his TvP is dreadful. I hope PL can get a better commentator next round, or that these guys can actually learn their shit.

Currently I have the Korean cast at half volume so I still get game sounds, with nathanias's stream up for commentary. Sadly this only works if I stay up to watch PL. I would like to pay money for good vods + commentary so I can watch it the next day at a reasonable hour, but man the english casters seem to be getting worse every time I try to give them another shot.

They have been getting better. And they've been listening to the community about how they can improve. However, crap posts like yours probably don't do anything except make them think "fuck you guys."
It's getting better, but for a while half of the LR thread posts were just people being jerks to the casters.

Yep, both of them post here on TL. Whiplash has a blog here posting his experience with commentating.
Also Whiplash was a pro gamer who participated in a few MLGs in 2011 (only losing to known players rather than randoms). Outside of MLGs, he got 2nd and 1st in a few online tournaments too.
(So he's not just some random guy.)
Plus half of the time I feel people are caster bashing for their lack of knowledge when they're just trying to not be bias towards a specific player and trying to keep things from being predetermined.
I hear lots of complaints against other casters for calling the game too soon and/or being aggressive and criticizing a player's mistake (didn't Cloud make a well documented and well received blog about casters criticizing players)?
Strange they would allow the players to leave the booths when they intend to restart. Now whatever transpired up until this point will be spilled by the team mates.
...why would you do that, Argo? Stalker/Sentry/Immortal is only useful against Terran because you can split him with FF and clump yourself under Guardian Shield. If you put yourself in an awkward position like that, you lose your only edges...
Why is this happening to me? He had it, but lets a move stalkers without blink up a choke into a stimed bio with medivacs with immediate reinforcments.

No upgrades on the gateway units, all upgrades (stim, shield, shll, +1 attack) on bio, Also the bio was supported by medivacs and protoss had neither storm nor collosy.

We did a poll in the thread last week and this ended up being the compromise :D The majority BW fans still wanted them listed by BW IDs but the people who didn't follow BW but are playing FPL wanted to know both names so they can follow the stream easier

we should list them by korean names and force all of TL to learn korean and who's who

That's the plan for round 3 but I'll romanize the names until round 4
Aww man, an all-kill? I almost wanted to pick Bogus for FPL just because I had the feeling he would get an all-kill or two. I wanted a Speed or Jaehoon kill though... T.T GJ though.
I like the old design for these better (I just mean the same from a week ago, with the list of players in the teams listed under the team names (with spoiler tags) and the time of the event in bigger blue writing under the Proleague picture.
Oh two of you? Yeah, thank goodness for me because I just swapped out Stork and was deciding between Baby and Bogus for the anti team but felt that Bogus had lost to far better players and chose Baby. ^_^

JYP.
