The other streams are working...Even during the huge stutter the other ones ran fine.
Streams with lesser viewers are usually fine

Kinda fail with the stream.

Reavers and carriers can deal powerful long-range damage, but their attacks cost minerals. But in SC2 you have locusts and tempests, and you used to have snipe and infested terrans that are free damage and it's kinda silly in a lot of late-game scenarios. This is exactly what I meant, to get more mines you had to build vultures which costed minerals, not wait out on energy regen, or some cooldown.
it's because you started your post with 'well', so I thought you disagreed with me :o

Gonna listen to the french stream pretending the french caster is Stephano trying to seduce me!

Do you really think Azubu would do better with this amount of viewers?

I am barely seeing any tempests/voidrays and have not seen a single Carrier in HOTS. Well guess Grubby doesn't know how to play it or something. Revelation would've been so kick ass in the lategame there, where he could be sniping the infestors and vipers without stephano being able to do much. There were many things in that game Grubby did well, but he didn't seem to know what to do in the lategame. Yeah, honestly it doesn't seem like foreign protoss players (I haven't seen any KeSPA/GSL lategame PvZs yet) aren't trying to be patient like their zerg opponents. Tempest/Carrier/ht seems like it'd be really terrifying lategame cause you can just use hallucinations/oracles/etc to get vision and pick off units and force the zerg to engage into storm/carriers. Otherwise the Zerg sends free units into carriers and storms and it's an even trade.
It is actually a bit of a surprise, because I'm pretty sure it was Grubby vs Stephano on like release day of HotS where they went into lategame like that(on same map, reverse positions) and Grubby was using revelation, tempest and air with offensive cannons to fall back to aswell as ofc hts+archons and mass VR I believe. No idea wtf was going on there, but his lategame seems to have gotten worse...

why did they even start this game...

Wish the second match wasn't on daybreak, i fear a similar game.

If you're talking about BW then you may as well mention every game Stork ever got lategame on for epic carrier play :p
