I don't think Day[9] is watching the same games as we are.

Yeah its unfortunate, I'd have probably been willing to do some casting for the open bracket from home (but I turned down the event casting spot because of the health issues, so they I imagine made the solid assumption that I didnt want to do any casting from home either), I already have an MLG.tv stream anyway. I'm sure there were a few others who would have been willing to give it a try too.

Okay okay in the heat of the moment Day9 misread a situation I'm over are we over it?

Man, had day9 more clue of sc2, he would call what the raven is in tvp: a liability, which just interferes with the not so easy army control even more.
Day9 has more of a clue than a lot of people I'd say, he's the last person I would complain about lack of game knowledge. There's no point in him criticizing the role of the Raven in TvP, because everyone knows that. His only comment on it was that he really liked how well it had *worked so far* in that game.

Don't worry, if Alicia and Heart make the Champ bracket they will get a lot of coverage plowing through the foreigners in loser's. Explain? (also Alicia is literally 1 bo3 from the champ bracket i think) I honestly have no idea where Alicia is on the bracket. He lost to HyuN 2-1 in the final round of the winners open bracket and then vanished completely. He's not on the lower bracket list at all.
Look at rounds 9 - 10 way on the bottom of the loosers bracket i think Alicia will eventually appear there.

They are expensive, slow, need a tech lab --> terran is hard pressed to produce medivacs and vikings. I would call that bad

Just read said "caster power ranking", first of all you cannot say a ton of good stuff about the guy placed at 19 in the pool. second its a caster rank voted by players, so yeah, im sure it bothers them when casters make a bad analysis on the game.
Actually Wolf would be far down on my personal list as well, it's just with some of CatZ Tweets about Wolf and that almost 50% Root/Former Root caster power ranking having Wolf at the bottom with the only nice thing saying "He wasn't as bad as he usually is lately, hopefully he can keep that up." is pretty fucking rude to me. If he's within the top 19 casters, surely you can find a few good compliments to give the guy, he is a person with feelings and I bet reading that didn't feel very good. Well I dont know about the twitter stuff since I cant be bothered to follow anyone, but I'll take your word for it.
Yup, not much into reddit twitter and social media stuff, but i saw enough to realize CatZ can be inappropriate to say the least... so i'll also take your word for it.

We can't have our progamers eating healthy. That sends the wrong message.

Idno MLG never did a good job covering the open bracket at all, ever. Obviously this is not an excuse for it continuing to be shit. Most (if not all) of the great story lines are in the open bracket because in pool play not every game is do or die.

Yeah I don't understand their decision of not having community streams. It works well for Dreamhack. Maybe they don't want unprofessional streams, but then again they aren't exactly the pinnacle of professionalism. If it's an issue about it having to be on MLG.tv then I think still there would be some willing to do a community stream despite it not being on Twitch. Very strange.

Day 9 is a good hype caster and can make a good analysis. The problem is when he mixes both

This is also the reason why there is no "Almanch of OP terran builds" article yet.

Major actually does 2 rax in TvP, but it's the Bbyong/Ty (forgot who  ) style where you just try to deny the natural while macroing up at home.
