What the hell is Whitera doing? Well over 1000 minerals, no army vs Dragon's push (3 Zealots and a Sentry versus ~20 Marines and Tanks...), 3 Gateways on 3 bases (?), losing Templars to Marine, opening Oracles vs Bio, 30 supply behind...
He should probably just "disconnect" and I'll swap in when the game resume from the replay. I'm not actually sure if he is playing this

His macro might lack at points but let's not pretend like you are better than WhiteRa, no offense ^_^

Damn, whitera's play is underwhelming tonight :[

I would have done better in that game, that I know (http://www.twitch.tv/dragon/b/338827084 - Fast forward to 1:28:50). He didn't play well at all, let's not understate it actually, he was playing at roughly a Platinum level...
Hopefully he can pull this back from an 0-2 lead.

2 Colossi for a Tank, nice trade here.
|
I feel like PvT is going to be the next TvZ until a big nerf happens just like in 2011. Such a rivalry.
Thank goodness WhiteRa won at least once, nothing sucks worse than a 0-4 showmatch.

If you are any less than a consistent GM-level player then you should not be saying that.

Did you see the game? I really suggest you watch game 2. It was really just a disaster. I'm here to watch WhiteRa and learn from his play.
Thankfully, he is playing so much better now.

Could you elaborate ? I don't really get the TvZ reference.

Man that Blink all-in build order choice couldn't have gone worse for WhiteRa.

still even worse i think he > you
he just tryed to be funny and now he have to play real, vs guys like gretorp and rotterdam its enough to be "funny" xD

Not arguing that I'm better than WhiteRa, I am not. Otherwise I wouldn't be watching this.
But you're only as good as how you play at the moment, your past results are irrelevant. And during Game 2 he wasn't playing well. Watch it.

Last two games were rather stupid.

I've been watching the whole series and I stand by what I said. Its a new expansion with new styles that can take people off-guard.

I think he meant the way that 2011 TvZ was like a boxing match with both sides taking big swings at each-other with effective harassment is a lot like how HOTS PvT is looking.

Yes thanks, I mean its like a boxing match. Also it seems like each race has things that each can GG a game with a KO blow.
One game we saw White Ra win with a oracle in mineral line took what 6 minutes? Dragon using mines in mineral line KO blow so quickly. Protoss air is superior on paper but marine seem to be enough to handle them so its very unpredictable, who can catch the other with pants down. Protoss ground is also superior on paper but Terran mech + bio compositions can surprising wreck however storms are so devastating.
Right now games are bad however its nerve racking for me as a spectator because its hard to say right now what will work and what won't.
I remember back in the day it was fun watching TvZ because late game, it was hard to tell between ghost snipes and fungals what and GGlords not being quite the GGlords they are now. Then we had a sneaky parity between the races that caused great games. Then Blizzard decided to nerf the fuck out of Ghosts and then we had the latter half of 2012. Zerg owned. Protoss took most of the scraps.
I say Blizzard will possibly should nerf Widow Mines either by making them unable to be medivacced or making them single use like Banes. My cynical heart says they will not touch Protoss however which will keep Terran defensive against Oracle harrass and Protoss will be supreme and Terran will be dogpoop again.
Hope not

In another note lol I can't believe how BM Dragon was in his stream. He was doing Beatbox in game 5 rather then control his workers and when he won he did The Kong Dance on stream. Was so bad but so good.

When facing a respectable opponent such as White-Ra who is nothing but well-mannered I would say Dragon's actions could be labeled as poor sportsmanship.

When facing an opponent like Dragon who is well-known for trolling and BM. I would say WhiteRa should expect BM and take it lightheartedly.

I didn't catch any of these games but it's sad to hear WhiteRa was playing so poorly. I've seen him whip out some really beastly play on HotS ladder against top tier players. Initially I would have expected WhiteRa 4-2/1/0

Certainly not deliberate I'd have thought. He was probably just excited and celebrating in his own goofy way for his over enthusiastic fans on stream^^
