I wonder if TotalBiscuit is proud of his players, even if they play these styles. The difference between a professional and an amateur is a professional does whatever it takes to win. Winning is quite literally all that matters. I don't pay my players to handicap themselves by not using every build they have at their disposal and any player that does that is not going to get very far. Use what works, simple as that. Balance whine on forums is irrelevant to professional play. That could do with qualification or it sounds a bit Lance Armstrong. It's a fair point, if you win with blink, go blink. It's blizzards problem not cranks.
If that was true as you think there wouldn't be any professional games on Heavy Rain that isn't blink.
It was more of a decision to try something drastic on a terran favored map.

So long as they're directing their hate in the right direction.
Hating on Crank for using tools at his disposal is not acceptable. Hate on Blizzard, it's their problem to fix.

Unsure, but otherwise why would this Marine that was patrolling in the bottom of the map would have stopped doing so? I don't think he had it in a group.

The problem is, that it never stays within reason for long.

looked like he used it against Dear because he had a marine moving around the map to scout for hidden bases and right before it found it all his units turned and headed for the protoss base

Cute moves but he's just getting overrun by the money. But his upgrades might just let him winnow.

These fucking Storms.
Crank has been practicing his drop play with Starbow. He's looking fresh with it.

Psi Storms on workers makes me sick a little, I feel bad for them.

Sloppy by Bomber. He forces the Warp prism to drop the HT with a Viking, and leaves his SCVs there to get stormed.
