I missed most of the tournament, but I thought Destiny did fine. He certainly was the best part of this god awful final.

THIS OBSERVING IS KILLLING ME

The lack of professionalism in a finals casting is worst to me. Really turns me away. Not sure if it's just me tired of the nerd speed casting voice.

You're literally speaking out my thoughts.

Yup. I muted the cast which is just ridiculous for a finals. Kind of ruined the end for me. Gg taeja though!

Thing is that at some point, being "funny" doesn't work anymore. Also, it is kind of ironic to hear incontrol and destiny, who actually are not players of a huge caliber, saying that MC's decisions are "bad", "dumb", "worst shit ever" and so on (and I'm not even an MC fan). I feel sorry for ToD though, he's a decent caster both in terms of casual casting and professional casting.

You know how there are bronze players with "bronze mechanics but GM game knowledge"?

Incontrol and Destiny have NA GM mechanics but GSL Code S game knowledge, duh.


that's generally a myth. and especially about destiny.


I know, it was sarcasm.

Because Destiny and iNcontroL can't critique MC for making useless oracles or getting all his high templar EMPed again and again and again?

boxerfred, Please. Just because commentators and coaches aren't as good as the best players in the game (tournament win- wise) doesn't mean they can't comment on the professional play. This is hardly the same as the layman being an armchair quarterback.

Please, complain about the casting some more. It's not even particularly constructive, it's 'I don't personally like Destiny' masquerading as something more insightful.

I enjoy the lack of seriousness and all that HSC always delivers, if nothing else as a counterpoint to a lot of the (IMO) overly serious 'professionalism' that we see for much of the rest of the time.

I don't get the unfortunately part. There's countless "professional" tournaments, and then there's HSC twice a year.

Sadly I have to agree with this. I mean the hole tournament was just amazing as always, a lot realy awesome matches and fun stuff, but the final was just boring, but Taeja played just perfect, he uses his ghosts like a god.
