It's one of those questions that keep me up at night: Should casters point out the mistakes and criticize bad play (Khaldor-Wolf style) or should they try to focus on positives? | ||

Right!?! Tough to say, it kind of has to be done on a game by game basis. I mean, if its a big finals game then you gotta focus on the positives, and I suppose there's something to be said for the underdog story being better if the negatives are forgotten... That said, the lack of micro in that last game was kind of rough to watch at times especially when the casters are lauding the play so much. | ||

I think you can do both without harping on the negatives or hyping the positives. I think the latter annoys me more. Storms are rarely "good," most of the time it's bad dodging. | ||

Storms are rarely "good," most of the time it's bad dodging. I'm of this same opinion. I'll stress the word opinion because it's just that; however, I feel that when every play is hailed as great it really lessens the wow factor of plays that are actually amazing. | ||

Theres a guarantee for 1 more foreigner to advance with Group D having 3 foreigners + Jaedong. Next best chance is probably Demuslim over TheStC or Crank. Suppy and theognis are going to have their work cut out for them against aLive and Sage. mOOnGLaDE and XY are most likely screwed against TaeJa and Polt although it's not impossible, just unlikely. Then Top is in a group with 3 Koreans. I think we'll likely see 5 foreigners in the Ro16 (same as last season). The 5 being: Scarlett, Jim, Minigun, Snute, and Demuslim imo | ||

I really got the impression in that last series that nerves were getting the better of both players. It was a pretty intense situation for both to be in and it looked like some of their decision making and control suffered. I've definitely seen both players play much better games than that. But congratulations to Minigun for the big win and advancing. | ||

State, hellokitty, Capoch, Fenix, Maker, and Killer are nowhere near the level of puCK, DeMusliM, and the Chinese players. It's unfair to lump State and Killer with players like Maker and Capoch. State and Killer both were able to beat Koreans in Bo3 | ||
