iA overextended, you don't want to attack into a Protoss position behind a choke, a ling runby while waiting for Broodlord numbers could be way better.

Infestors would probably have secured the win for iA.

iA lacked queens and at least one or two infestors instead of those few hydras he had

I really don't understand these zergs. They both only made 5 or 6 corruptors for broodlords and then morphed them in really terrible places. iA gave away one of his 5 potential BLs instantly because of bad position. I could understand it if you're morphing 10-15 where losing 1 doesn't particularly matter but losing 1 when you only can make 5 is just sloppy

Yeah Harstem was unnaturally clumped while on that gunning retreat. 1 fungal would've been over for him.

Ultras into lose. Shoulda just gone straight to Brood Lords I guess

He can't really play Ultras without creep, mass Queens, Infestors and Vipers. He only had Vipers and the rest of supply were Lings and Hydralisks that get shredded by that Protoss army.

Overall nice game, but IA had some bad engagements and bad engagement with Ultralisks is pretty much lost game.

Seriously. Kane is much much better than moonglade

Tbh, my issue with Moonglade is that his voice sounds... I dunno, how do I say that? It sounds weird. Especially when talking about how attractive he finds Zest or the like, his voice just sounds... weird. I like him tho.

I think the complete opposite. I love listening to moonglade, I'm starting to warm up to kane but I foundsomething weird about his voice too.

wtf does "find his voice weird mean?"

Do we really live in an age where top gm zergs can't get a gig because their voice is weird. lol... they're both native English speakers.

Having a good voice is almost the n°1 thing to be a caster lol

100% disagree, though I guess the majority of the player base are total scrubs. You would think even silver and gold players could appreciate someone who actually knows the game. Who cares what they look or sound like? Have we ever had a caster that sounded so bad?

People just need to get out of their shell and experience accents from different parts of the world.

lol. I'm casting and I can tell you that it's the most important thing. People listening for something else than being entertained are such a minority (that you'll find on TL yeah) that you can say bullshit most of the time and get away with it. Just like in mainstreamed TV sports.

What you're saying and what you sound like when you're saying it are two different things. No doubt, one needs to speak eloquently to be a caster. Unless you have a speech impediment, I don't see the problem.

you don't have to be eloquent, basic english/whatever language is enough as long as you can engage people into the cast. And you need to have a good voice for it.

So you can be retarded as long as your voice is good, right.

well catspajamas was a good sc2 caster. He's not retarded but wasn't exactly knowledgeable about the game. Like TB when he began. Or tasteless these days.

There is a region lock for koreans (koreans can't play in non-korean events without a visa).

The level of Korean starcraft is very very high atm (way above, even a year ago)

There are also 2 individual leagues in Korea atm. GSL, SSL (run by spotv) and proleague obviously.

Heh, so they finally decided in favour of the countries/players instead of the level of play. Hope it did some good in the popularity/viewer numbers.

But anyway, Harstem fighting for the win!
