It seems very unusual to me we are seeing such passive play in this match, particularly from Trap.

Oh dear god, just fuck the numbers and enjoy the fucking game. I do not understand this fucking obsession. If SC2 was less popular you'd like it less?

If SC2 was less popular, there wouldn't be SC2 to like ^^

+ Show Spoiler +
j/k, but that's where the number obsession comes from, people who love the game are afraid to lose it.


I understand the concern, but half the threads nowadays are revolving around the numbers. How "good" or "bad" they are. If you are truly concerned then be active - tell your friends about it, make people around you watch the game, invest them in the beauty that is SC.

Posting about viewer numbers (that anyone with a working eyeball or two can see himself, btw) every second on a frickin' SC site gives you nothing - on the contrary, it affects the communtiy in a negative way and is fucking infuriating for anyone who actually enjoys the game itself. The topic is hardly worth discussing *every* time - why post about it?

You're right; Complaining about people posting stream numbers is a lot more fruitful
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Maynarde got his calls wrong, I don't like this. Last game, he called 4 kills on an oracle while it got 2 only, other 2 kills related to a phoenix. Now, he says "great defense" when Zest loses 2 sentries and does not even get one oracle in return.

That's why I dislike huge events being commentated by rather unknown (starcraft-related) casters.

it's ok to give him time here and there but he simply doesn't deserve a spot in the finals imo

especially since I think Kaelaris has been at all these events too?

Zest is getting supply blocked a lot. Also, he stopped worker production completely, which should put Trap ahead now that his third finished.

btw for the people that like viewer numbers: This year already has a peak which is 20k higher than last year's (and last year had a shared stream, so more ppl from different games tuning in)
