TBH this is something you see a lot. Going for a shit ton of bio+vikings is usually able to max a lot quicker than the P army.


Protoss going colossus SHOULD be about 30 ongoing to 50 supply behind the T. Yoda maxed quickly but not ridiculously quickly. Also, Grubby wasn't too greedy. He wasn't greedy enough. Needed to transition into storm faster. Seeing 7 rax AND 2 starports should be a cue to face a maxed timing real soon.

Not ridiculously quickly. Hell what is it? 13.30 max?

You did not make an objective statement.

As much as I love Grubby, I prefer watching the absolute best players in the world competing.

You know in sports you have the term good x (x = the sport). Well I want to see some good Starcraft... man Yoda vs Parting is going to be so high level and so awesome! :D

No, people that don't enjoy watching Starcraft and are only here to see them white dudes winning are killing tournaments and Starcraft. If you are unable to enjoy great games, just because there are only Koreans involved...well, you really should search for a different hobby.

You are delusional if you think what BretZ said is any different from the truth. It's a sad state of affairs but it is the one we're currently in and the one we've been in for a while, and all he was doing was pointing it out.

Dude there is no need to speak as though I or BretZ are anything like that. But the majority of the people who watch SC2 (newsflash, a lot of them don't even know about TL.net or post here) are actually a lot like that, whether they admit it or not.

i was half watching the game so it's possible. He went really light on gas too with only a few ghost while a more conventionnal quick 200 would try to have a balanced composition, it was really a kill move here. That would explain the 30/45s difference with a classic 14.45/15.00 max.
Zest fanboy.

I'm not gonna do anything because it's not my problem. But like I said, if you think that most SC2 viewers are not like that then lol...

That attitude of "I won't watch because the players are korean/show no emotion" is retarded and what's "killing tournaments".

Tournaments are not dying out, in fact, people complain there is an overflow of them. Look at this one, a relatively minor one, yet is racking in 30k viewers. And I for one prefer skill way over personality.

30k is about half of what IEM once had and sadly is becoming the SC2 standard.
