EPTI think they've just done a little work on their main studio to accomodate the booths and the generally small audience.

It creates a flaccid viewer-base more interested in personalities than the actual game, something extremely prevalent in LoL. interesting theory but i don't agree or see any evidence for what you're saying i've been a SC fan since SC1 but i never had the slightest interest in the pro scene before i discovered husky on youtube. he's the reason i know anything about the competitive side of the game and i don't have any interest in games i don't like (like league and hearthstone) that he casts on his channels, so you're wrong based on my experience alone husky is a funny guy and people like him for that, if he uses his personality to attract people to SC2 that's still a free bonus for the game and the scene | ||

If he was still only building his 3rd CC but was only 1/2 the worker count, he was definitely behind Jaedong by quite a bit. I'm assuming something like 25 SCVs to 50 drones? Seeing as the above poster said he also had literally no army, Jaedong also has a huge lead due to consistent queen injects leading him to reach his desired worker count by the time Heart hits probably 40 SCVs. he had an army, it was 25scvs to 40 drones or so | ||

Anyway, calling a 2-1 for Sen, come at me. 2x timings/busts and losing a macro game. people like personalities whether it's players , casters or who else that have them | ||

Stim bio (particularly a few marauders from even just one tech lab rax) and mules cannot be underestimated. | ||

People like personalities/heroes, without necessarily caring much for the actual sport. Someone to root for or tune in to is a constant, while maybe only 1/10 games are good. | ||

Sen like in a Taiwanese bubble and pretty much never leaves Taiwan unless it's for WCS. Taeja, on the other hand, always goes to foreign tournaments. Well, can't necessarily generalize all of Korea and all of Taiwan based off of two people though... | ||
