I'm still pretty sure this guy is a PBU. There was another "Green something" guy who posted similarly about a year back.

Oh, looks like I picked Rain and DRG on the liqqys. I guess I'm a loose cannon who likes to shoot from the hip. A wild man.

The MC is probably the biggest impetus though, yes

They are much too ineffective and one-dimensional. Protoss got the voidray instead:
- slow-moing air unit, check - low range, check - unmicroable (I guess you could press a button, but you don't really need to), check - wins if you have enough, check

So.
Zero Alterzim Strongholds tonight. Zero Tempests. Zero Motherships. Zero Terrans. Zero Zergs advanced. Zero manner Nexuses. Good day definitely even if Wednesday.

Raaain! I missed the final match with Solar what happened in game 3? He beat a Zerg on Daedalus... TWICE

He held a massive skyzerg army and countered once he got everything he needed (archons, colossis, and around 20 phenix with range upgrade). He also denied a lot the Solar's 5th base with zealots runbys.

And I'd say Solar ehm.. let's just say, fucked up tremendously, both games on Daedalus ;p. Although the second time Rain just played it out very well.

There no balance whine in this, this is called sarcasm, and is based on the fact that protoss is considered a bit too strong at the moment (a position that Blizzard supports, as shown in the patch they're currently working on).
If you don't laugh, fine, just move on, rather than calling it out "stupid". Not your humour, fine, leave those who laugh in peace.

A bit harsh, I got turned off it when he started insulting the casters but the rest of it was ok

Betting on Protoss is my only Liquibet heuristics this season. Hoping it carries me far, even if 80% of TL does the same!

He's serving as a live reporter, not caster or commentator, similar to Seeker's translation, always like to sneak in his own stuff, very annoying.

Ah ok thank you! I caught the first game which seemed really straight forward but I went back to sleep after the Winners Match. It looks like this shorter ramp is helping extend these games now and giving Toss at least some chance. And from what I saw the first game, Solars style doesn fit Daedalus well Zerg greed is less useful becaus of how aggressive you can be.
