Blink wars is just mesmerizing since blink is like, one of the most fun things to do in the game. | ||

whatever the final is they always put the most popular caster for the finals it's either apollo/artosis/day9 | ||

I would watch another mixed matchup though, but I have seen literally 100s of always the same PvPs this year. It has jost become the most boring matchup. I mean PvP will never get to the point where TvT once was. And I dunno which tourney it was (Dreamhack, last week?) cause there were so many recently, but if you watch Skyhighs TvTs and see how much back and forth, constant battling on 3 fronts, gaining small advantages etc etc... i mean how thrilling it is to watch this matchup and then a boring PvP again... well thank you. I am glad the protoss are happy now, cause well balance restored and such... but as a viewer I just think I don't have to witness another PvP if I don't have too. I am not even interested in which protoss wins this time, there have been so many protoss victories this year, it doesn't count to me really. It would count if toss is the inferior race atm, but it isn't. I am impressed by life and was extremely impressed by teaja, beating the 6 months of constant protoss wins at premier tournaments... but well I hope you enjoy the finals, I didn't want to take the fun away from you, just explain my POV. Good night  Edit: btw it picked up to 30k again. So it is "ok". although finals tend to have about 10% more not 20% less viewers. Definately the matchup | ||

Wish ToD and Rotti were there. well day9 is there because of his popularity, it's common knowledge he doesn't know the current meta that well. i agree that it's frustrating, and i don't really like him as a caster in general, but it's not his fault that he's popular. and specifically he's popular for the sort of generic, newbie-friendly analysis that's annoying and not helpful for some of us On December 08 2014 13:40 Neazbo wrote: Neither of these guys have any business casting this finals as far as i'm concerned. No fucking casting duo is topping tod/rotti for this and they're right fucking there in the back. dude, it's just starcraft casting, calm down | ||
