Well, I was wrong on sC, I swear I'd heard it discussed before on SoTG or one of those shows. Luckily I have the likes of the Shelbot and StarVe to correct my ignorance (y)

Who are these casters? Blizzard on the lefthand side and NASL on the righthand side? It's a pretty cool nick, rolls of the tongue nicely. The 'Killers' and 'Swaggers' of this world are much sillier nicks to me, but each to his own. There could be even worse: what about another 2-3 letters acronym like MVP, MC, MMA, etc? Personally, the silliest is a nickname the more I like it even if there are some exceptions like Titan or NightEnd. The silliest name is TheStC because it's literally supposed to be TheStarCraft. sC vs TheStC showmatch to decide who can use the name of the game in their nick?
The winner receives the  Billowy trophy?

Many are probably chosen for their aesthetically pleasing phonemes. Demuslim is just multisyllable abomination that is, at best, misleading and childish, and at worst, patently offensive.

Yeah, and Sniper kills people! How dare he call himself that unless he's actually a gun for hire?

Probably not. He knew who would be casting and has an opinion of them from other casts.

That play by Starbuck was awesome

Offensive..? Really? How could it in any way be offensive to anyone?

Huk's builds have never been exactly sound to say the least, but he used to be able to micro his way out of the awful spots he ended in, which isn't the case anymore.

I don't understand Huk's play at all
-not building probes when his nexus was warping in
-making a templar archive AS he was being attacked, not before, not after, DURING
-floating over 1k resources, ~600 gas
Huk seemed stuck a bit between two paths. I liked the ideas he had been up to, but it wasn't as responsive to what Demuslim was up to. Just seemed like everything wasn't smooth.

In WCS EU there's a 5 minutes delay. I guess it's the same here.

I would be willing to bet there's at least a two minute delay as well. WCS is poorly designed, but the people who actually run the tournament have something in between their ears.

And there is a 10 or 5 minute delay, don't know how much exactly.

He's not actually a gun for hire, but did his military service as a sharpshooter iirc.
It's why he's so hated by the community. In armed conflict the PoWs who get the worst treatment also tend to be snipers, so I'd imagine there's a link then.

Damn that Starbuck cheese was so sick.

Wow that drone stack attack by Starbuck was absolutely amazing, does anyone have a VOD for this?

Any idea why that might be? People have caught up, less practice, or a change in the game?

Whoa, so Sniper's just misunderstood? Now I feel bad for him.
