don't know why everyone bashes this. When done well, this is what differentiates good tournaments from bad ones. For example, GSL finals are often tense and interesting based largely on the hype of tastosis, and yet people say that they don't want any of it. Any caster who cast a game like they were giving a live report on TL would be immediately flagged as lacking personality and such.

What did apollo mean when he said Babyknight was playing a bad game because he had 700 gas and no tech?
Stockpiling gas after a strong pressure is a normal tactic. You only don't want stockpile gas is you're going for something like a 7 gate (in which case, when your first attack fails, you immediately leave). But when you're not doing an insane all in, you want the options to 1) tech/ups, 2) mass sentry, or 3) just continue your pressure with options 1 and 2 still open for later if your pressure doesn't work out (what BK did).
Anyone else want to explain what he was thinking? I'm a bit curious. Did he interpret the 4 gate (it was 4 by BK, right? I wasn't paying a ton of attention) as a strong all in?

If BabyK wins and gets an interview they should ask about the gas in that game.

Main stream is barely breaking 20k viewers for most of the cast.
I wonder if it's over-saturation again or just twitch. i do think it's a little stupid WCS KR and WCS EU stream on almost the same days (tuesday/thursday and tuesday/wednesday). not sure when WCS AM is aired cause i don't watch it. WCS AM isn't aired yet. Also I don't think its oversaturation, its just this is probably close to the amount that can be pulled in for the early online stages of a large tournament like this. WCS EU Ro32 can do better Season 1: 40-40-30-41-43-37-57-44 Season 2: 43-47-42-36-33(today)
Pretty interesting that Mvp got really popular when he stopped dominating everything.

if you take the double gas you tech immediately. simple.

The problem is that it has to be well done. Tastosis has become horrible at that, because every final is the best final they ever had, every third series is one of the best series they've ever seen etc etc

GSL finals still get everyone raving every time, and most of the time the games aren't that good.

I disagree that this is a normal tactic. Unless you're Zerg, it's never good to be stockpiling that much resources.

Yes! Make that third pay off!

after a certain amount of bad a pvz build becomes good again cuz the zerg does the opposite of what he needs to, babyknight is the king of crossing this line
