The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.

first game, he brought only a few and always tried to place them up front of the army where they were easily disabled with single lings or sniped by overseers closeby.
Flash and Innovation always brought much more and always made sure to scatter a few behind so that he could retreat behind them. Sure zerg will pick off a bunch, but they're so much cheaper than tanks and build so much faster with reactored factories.
Tanks with the amount of creep a zerg can put on a map with the number of queens out on a map pretty much gets annihilated by a wave of ling bling muta.
ok. sorry, no more posts from me about the widow mine. Me and the other guy posted so much. Just so frustrating. Huge Polt fan although love Life style too!
So worth staying up for. My only disappointment was that I did not get my lazy ass up to Dallas to watch that in person. Truly the best I have seen in a long time.

O_O holy crap tomorrow is sick
Here are all the games I'm not looking forward to tomorrow:
As an Australian, what time do you go to sleep/wake up to watch the ENTIRE CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY? I need to time everything perfectly so I'm not dead for work.
I don't get a hope. I've got work tomorrow so at best I think I can catch some Ro8? Even then I've got a long working day of teaching so I'll just be missing everything =(
Ahhh unlucky.. D: MLG's are always hard to catch as an Aussie.
I know right, outside of gsl there really isn't anything I get to watch without staying up/getting up at 5 am :\ And the stuff I do get to watch is choppy as shit cause there internet connection to Australia is horrendous.

We never said anything of the sort.
Don't have my keyboard so transcribing is a lot slower than usual, Still, here's the part in question from the G4 VoD:
TotalBiscuit: "Ten seconds before stimpack becomes available, that's gonna change the entire face of this battle. If he runs right into that a good stim could obliterate this army."
Husky: "Here it is, he has it now, does MVP realize the upgrade's done? He could stim right now - This would actually be perferct! He might not even need to here, TB, his units just aren't dying!"
TotalBiscuit: "These are well positioned, man, they really really are, the zealots are having trouble, really, getting to grips with the main army. But, (I? [very unclear, seems like he changed his mind halfway through the word or my English just is bad]) MC -may- just have enough, a force field on the ramp - It's not complete - MVP is able to continue his fire. Another wave is coming in right there -"
Husky & TotalBiscuit: "GEEGEEEEEE"
Even though something like that isn't directly said, one could say it was implied. Especially in the final sentence of Husky's portion.

Parting is still probably the top 1 protoss right now, why would he lose to Flash?
Well two things: 1) Partings PvT has not gotten back up to the dominant force it once was again. 2) With regards to Flash, TL is like the bible belt of america

Flash has shown very good TvP this year, most recently crushing Rain 2-0 to get into Code S. He has also looked extremely good in this tournament so far.
