He never un-retired, he is still attending a university and is still not playing sc2 full time. Meltdown just sponsers him as a part time player. | ||

Not the game itself (well basically this could have easily gone in Terrans favor, but if you watch the game and know everything and sit back and have time to think about it, it is easy to judge), because there were like 5 ways he could have won the basetrade. But the casting or more like the decision making of the casters/referees or whatever you want to call them. Waiting for the players what happens and MAYBE resume from replay? MAYBE giving the point to one player? MAYBE regame? "because we can make up the rules now" Well I only watch the games because of the players, cause well ... there is some room to make the casting more entertaining and also informative  | ||

it was a weird basetrade and, and the terran lifted the building to a corner the protoss couldn't reach it (and had no base left, no air units but an army, compared to terrans 0 Units), and they (Casters) were discussing what to do now... I mean like resume the replay from a certain point or so. And not just draw and regame. | ||

Jessica that was maybe what you thought, but not what Rifkin was talking about. Besides: sorry about the flame, I was too enraged/emotional Plus: if I am allowed to make a suggestion, maybe one can get into a more "powerful" observing rule, meaning being able to kick other observers if they drop out. Guess it is very annoying for the Pro's playing and for some viewers as well, waiting 1 minute in front of the screen, while nothing happens. If not... well then fill the 60 secs with a random bad joke, like Tastosis do  | ||

The biggest russian team league has a hackers list with evidences and ID links of "starcraft://profile/" type. So if player will change his nickname, but will keep his battle.net account you still will be able to see if it is him or not, The most funny thing here is that one of this links shows him, you just click on a link and you got Yunga's account open in starcraft. And now you should be ready for what happened litterally a seconds ago: Rifking say "well we never saw this guy, hes playing so top notch starcraft" and I got "You are banned from talking in basetradetv for 586". Nice guys, I guess the best way to live in this world is never try to help anyone. Guess you get unbanned, if you provide us with links, because then the evidence is more clear and ZombieGrub/Jessica is reading this thread as you can see above hmm happened again, that "Doom" is lagging, why would he join the game after he already got knocked out? | ||

Can't be that hard, right? But the other races didn't really drop micro at all. Like it doesn't matter, I win anyways if I throw away 400 minerals (4 zealots) or whatever. Really what bugged me ever since (one of many things) and the only thing I can think of is, that it really wasn't necessary for the win yet. But yeah, It is cool to see that finally at the pro level, although I did that ever since and never understood why it shouldn't be possible for them. But well, I started of as terran, now I do it even with Zerg. | ||

But well, I started of as terran, now I do it even with Zerg. i usually assume its just most pros preferring to use their multitasking elsewhere and not thinking its worth it until someone comes along and does really well with it. i think Zest is who comes to mind for me when i think of the surge of zealot drop micro. when the best players show off their skills i guess it motivates people to try things they doubted before ? idk but its fun to watch the game evolve in small ways even with a pretty set meta | ||
