That was an incredible moment.

I'd choose Stephano vs Kiwikaki. Thorzain vs Polt. Naniwa vs Soundproofing.

For some reason, I get really turned off whenever Geoff speaks. He's a splendid natural speaker, but I feel he tries too hard to say something cheeky and insightful. Two examples:

1. His joke yesterday about Taeja v Dark.
- "Q: When do we know Summer of Taeja is ending? A: (pauses melodramatically) When it becomes dark."
- Seriously? That's supposed to be funny?

2. Him baiting Snute
- He goes: "If Fantasy beats Rain 3-0, ergo you're better than Rain!"
- Snute replies: "Er no" (awkward sheepish look)
- It's such a poor running joke, and puts Snute in a spot.

3. HIs psychoanalysis
- Like his analysis on Patience's mind-set trying to be clever with Maru because he lacks confidence, instead of playing standard against players like soO which he beat in qualifiers - I think that's really over-speculating and unnecessary.
- It's totally different when Kevin says "Patience is like do I blink, do I don't blink" - here there is some context and evidence, and even then he doesn't go on to conclude what goes on in Patience's head.
- When he starts a sentence with a disclaimer like "I'm gonna be devil's advocate here...", chances are he's going to say something over-speculative

Judging by some responses, I know he has quite a fan following. And he has a cool attitude. But I just feel he's channelling his energy in the wrong way. Maybe in a group of serious and analytical casters, he throws in a good dynamic into the mix. He's great for entertainment value. But personally, I would rather have another commentator like Apollo take his place, or better still, a player like MC or Parting (who will provide the entertainment zing). I just don't think he adds much value into the commentary.

Sorry if I offend anyone. Just have to let it out.

I globally agree. I love him when he isn't trying too hard and just let it flows. But sometimes he tries too hard.


I liked the McDonalds story, he is better telling stories than trying to be witty all the time


If I saw him in a bar, I would so go up to him and chat (and maybe even buy a drink to hear some stories).

He just needs some control when he's at the analysis desk (okay, bad pun). It's alright to speak plainly, not throw up your hands in the air too often, and be natural.

If herO loses versus Cure PartinG is confirmed PvT god.

He already is confirmed as that. Nobody has Maru's number like PartinG does.


Nobody has Terran's number like Parting does.

Also true. Weird that the soul train man's worst MU is PvZ nowadays <.<


It's not so weird. PartinG was always hailed as soul train guy because zergs were dominating so it was easier to see, but he had really great macro templar in WoL, he was really infuential in PvT.


I would even argue he is one of the most innovative protoss players in the history of sc2. For me (as a terran, albeit) I have admired his 4 gate stalker blink pressure, where he drops a 3rd base and gets out enough production to manage pull-the-boys builds.


Definitely. PartinG has always stood out for his ability to figure out matchups and playstyles.


I have come to admire him heavily as a player. He isn't just innovative in creating new macro builds, but he has tons of very unique aggressive builds that he tailors specifically to his opponents. Whats more is his phenomenal control of some of the fundamental units (oracle+stalker) works well in tandem with his aggressive style. Remarkable player in my mind


I may be fanboying a bit, but to me there's three, maybe four players that stick out as the most innovative protoss players in WoL. Parting/Creator/HerO for PvT, HerO for PvZ, Rain for PvP.
PartinG probably had the biggest impact on a single matchup by introducing robo/templar macro styles to PvT.

Infuriating, but yes, excellent. There's almost no reason to ever think that Corruptors as a replacement for Mutas should be good versus Terran, but somehow it works. I can never shake the feeling that there's a refutation hiding somewhere in the meta, but I haven't seen it yet.

Bbyong's definitely going mech with that opening. Ah, who am I kidding, Bbyong goes mech with any opening <.<
