There is a reason why for the last bunch of major events they only get Artosis to come cast. You should probably just watch the game and have some fun | ||

I actually have to disagree with tasteless on Maru being the super-uber-gosu strategic mastermind. His win was 100% micro while Dear had the neat build that failed due to him not controlling his army properly. | ||

I actually have to disagree with tasteless on Maru being the super-uber-gosu strategic mastermind.

Maybe that is just me though | ||

Not sure but you CAN charge zealots at each other. so effectively you could charge a zealot at the back of the pack up to the front, and so-on. think of how much faster the ground would be covered if you could do this efficiently with 1000apm! | ||

By the time they engaged at Dear's third he was 4 workers behind....i think that is credit to Maru and his macro no? | ||

I actually saw some of the players at ASUS ROG talking about / testing auto vs manual charge (some - I won't name any - didn't realize you could manually charge). There's a lot micro (and positioning) that can really raise the skill cap higher than people think. (yes, sc2 has different mechanical skill preference than either BW or WC3, wow) | ||

Yeah. But, I meant direct Zealots to points on the map and then activate charge. So that they flank rather than bullrush. I've yet to see any pro-Protoss try to do that. Direct small squads of Zealots tactically rather than as a mass charging suicide squad. | ||

Probably Tastosis know this too but it is their job to hype up the game. I have to disagree with your point that other sports don't say irrational shit like that. I watch NFL pretty much every Sunday, Monday and Thursday and every game you will hear that one of the players is the best in the league at his position, or one of the teams has the best defence in the league etc. A lot of this will go against stats or even the play from the past few weeks but it is a hell of a lot more exciting to hear "Possibly the greatest NFL QB going up against the world's best pass rusher" When in reality it is some middle of the road QB up against some guy who has faced weak OL for the past few weeks. It is part of the entertainment Heh, I thought my reply was going to not get seen and skipped but alas! I definitely see your point and for the most part of my sc2 experience I have had the same opinions on the matter and still do to a point. I don't know if I'm just kinda irritated tonight or whatever but that phrase "Best player in the world" is brought up so often by them specifically and most of the time they're saying it about a player who is clearly not the best in the world... It's just annoying to hear it now. Looking back to BW and the great fun part of watching it were the stories behind the matches and what not, that is something that I personally think is severely lacking in the sc2 scene making it just not as fun to watch. I think it would add to the viewing experience if the title of Best player in the world was rarely attributed to a player. So when you hear "X player is the best in the world" it actually means something, like "wow this player has done this and this and won this many tournys in a short amount of time they really do deserve to be called the best, they worked for it" ~ I want to be able to say that when I hear that phrase, it should be prestigious in the SC2 scene... you can only have one #1 best player. Flash was the best player Jaedong was the best zerg Those players truly deserved a title like that, but it just wouldn't mean anything if you would hear casters saying other zergs or just other players in general are the best in the world or their respective races just because they happened to end up winning one tournament. TL;DR I think it would add a lot to the viewing experience if the community/casters would actually hold the title of 'Best player in the world' in high regard only given to a player that truly deserves it and has shown that they are the best over a longer period of time... like re-evaluating who the best are at the end of the year, once a year. Right now they toss around best in the world titles like it means nothing, like just throwing candy into a crowd of kids or something. Give me more of a storyline. Sorry for typing so much... Adderall blues. | ||
