But seriously, I really like Gretorp and Frodan. I think they've really improved since NASL Season 2 or whenever I started watching them. I hope you grow to like them, too :D

I'm really enjoying this series. I can't help but feel that no matter who wins this series, they will both make it out. All I am seeing is people not managing to make their marines hold position. Marine Tank TvT is a tricky dance  It is. However I thought Polt & Taeja were better at it - they certainly were the last time I watched them play it.

And before anyone says it, I am aware that this is criticizing on the highest level. Both players have been very sharp and aggressive with marine hit squads sniping tanks that are exposed, holding position your army in a particular push from the other player could be game ending if you lose all your tanks in the blink of an eye.
But for example when Taeja almost sieged Polts natural he let his marines run off and get eaten by Polts retreating army so his tanks ended up without support. That is a rather big mistake. I think Taeja could have taken 10 or maybe 20 more marines out if his force had fought as one.

Sadly most casters are either good at the game or good at talking. The ones who are good at both are Day9, Apollo and Artosis.

I feel like the collective will of fans for such favorites as Polt, Taeja, and Moonglade would keep him from advancing, let alone the fact that it is unlikely he can beat either of the two other terrans in the group.

HOTS came out in China recently didn't it? We'll have to see how XY will play this out.
Does anyone know how good XY was when he last played? TLPD shows some games but I don't recall ever having seen him.

Marine/tank you see the usual gas buildups lategame and just 1 techlab starport for some ravens and the occasional banshee seems awesome here. Tanks can't escape hunter seeker missile so it seems like an easy way to pick off some tanks, especially against clumped siege tanks just 2 hsm's allows you to bust through there..
I think you're about to get your wish, Polt style.
Yeah he gave a nice try at it but I think the battecruisers were a mistake imo. Transitioning from marine/tank you'll have 0-0 BCs against 3-3 marines and planet S is too hard to split the map where BCs shine. The ravens did alright for him. It should just be a very light addition I think, just 1 starport basically

I haven't stayed awake to watch/listen to much NA casting but I have to say I'm very much enjoying the cast (the games them selves aren't hurting things either!).

Does anyone know how good XY was when he last played? TLPD shows some games but I don't recall ever having seen him. He had some impressive marine splits in TvZ in the qualifiers but he didn't play very well in his TvT vs Demuslim

So he might be able to take out Moonglade but his TvT against a Korean might be his failing? Last I checked, Polt and TaeJa were both pretty good (by Korean standards) at TvT.

Btw How long is the stream delay for these online games?
Was just thinking, but isnt it possible to stream cheat, by PP Pausing the game and waiting a bit until you can see your opponents entire build from the stream?

Wow WTF is this build lol
