I won't be able to man the LR thread as well as a mod unfortunately, because I have to drive home from work in about an hour. I think that means we won't get a lot of polls, unless someone else could volunteer for it.

it's against TL's rules
Yeah I should have clarified that you're still subject to them.

Understanding the language is in no way essential.
Seriously? I always thought that it was incredibly necessary.
Is it? It's (arguably) music. People listen to opera all the time without understanding the words.
I am guilty of doing the latter. Granted I am a cellist so I really like the orchestra. I don't listen to a lot of different types of music actually, not the biggest fan of electronically-generated stuff, but it's fine in the right atmosphere.

I don't think giving a guy who's too lazy to copy/past poll criteria a staff position would be a good idea.
just write some top 15 lists, sprinkled with that sweet sweet TL bias
some topics to cover:

I guess the only question worth asking is 'Does Khelazur know the hotkey for tank production', if the answer is yes he beats starbuck and finishes the group second, pretty much the only variable in this group lol.

10 extremely sexist movies. The 5 most unbelievable sexist video game power ups. 7 ways all men are evil and the 8 ways women are perfect.
What do players like Starbuck play for? Probably themselves. Elfi however has a higher cause. He knows he needs to feed Pekka. He knows that Pekka is watching Elfi on TV and is cheering for him. Elfi is strengthened by Pekka. With Pekka, Elfi can do anything
finnish fans in LR threads when finnish players play (there's a great sentence to say) really make my day (in fact, all of this has been a fun sentence)
18k people saw that game. Some of you should vote.
I've voted in more TL polls than I have presidential elections. You should feel honored
I am.
Also vote for your country.
To be fair I've probably voted in more TL polls than there have been US presidents
57 total US elections, but not necessarily US presidents. How many TL polls have you voted on?
I doubt there's a way to check but I've been in tons and tons of LR threads and always vote in those polls. And each match is at least 3 polls. I imagine I've seen/voted for more than 19 bo3s

It's also the start of the Group Stage, either, or both players can still advance.

Also true. Although this match is truly the best example of the downside of a format like this. This match is largely irrelevant for a ton of reasons.

Really? They're pretty much random and absurdly broken at lower levels. After drilling claws (which I REALLY can't believe is still a thing) a zerg player has 1 second to react to a burrowed mine. As a zerg it feels like there are no countermeasures once the mine count gets high enough. And luckily enough they can be produced two at a time

It gives a lot to the Terran gameplay in terms of space control, how it interacts with bio. But above all I think it's one of the few things in sc2 which allows comebacks, it rewards skill and all those "OOOOOH SHIII!" moments that are just way too few in sc2.
This doesn't mean I don't hate it when a Terran randomly boosts into my mineral lines and all my shit dies though.

agreed, you can easily beat protoss with mass amounts of mines up to plat league
sometimes a fast mine drop is enough to win outright, protosses are so scared of them they build a bunch of cannons and get super behind that way instead

I suppose that's where I disagree. At least in TvZ. TvP I can't really comment on but in TvZ it feels like once you've made enough mines you've won. It doesn't take skill to burrow a unit that takes 1 second and then have it get a lucky hit. I think you move them to techlab and remove drilling claws and I'm okay with them as is, but it just feels like they've been made to be too good.

back in my day you made comebacks the hard way down 100 supply with tanks and bio.

I mean too good in both the balance sense and in the sense that they outclass most of terran's other units. Why build tanks when you can build mines? Why build thors when you can build mines? It feels like mines are too much of a one stop shop for terran with too negligible of a downside. They're fast enough to keep up, quick enough to burrow to defend themselves, hit ground and air, don't splash eachother. They're not BL/Infestor levels of too good, but imo they're far too good to have remained in the game this long without some kind of tweak

You don't build tanks because tanks suck : P Terrans do build Thors, marines, medivacs, marauders and all that other shit. They can easily lose you a game if you get bad hits because Zerg baits them out or snipes them or catches terran in a bad situation

Terrans do build more than just mines, but there are also terrans who build JUST mines from factories. Its completely viable to build marine/mine and nothing else. Hell we've seen exclusively mine/medivac work out. IMO that just shouldn't be the case

I think the problem with widow mines is that they are way to cost efficient. A 75/25 that can one-shot a 100/100 mutalisk, and when its done that, its paid for itself. And it can do that again every 40 seconds.

That too. Add in its double production capabilities and 1 second burrow time and you're left with a unit that has very little drawbacks.

how long was that break from end of the last game to start of this game...? feels like 30 minutes lol actually looking at the posts here, it seems to have been 28 minutes

Yeah I think it was 25 minutes this time. Way too long.

I can dig it. They do look a little similar. It helps that Kelazhur is a very pale Brazilian. I guess playing sc2 for 8+ hours a day does that to your complexion.

Elfi. It's been a long day.
I blame those downtimes ^^
Funny how I only missed one series despite having no passion.

Shift-queuing drops is overrated. Also, everyone can have a bad game
Poor Kelazhur. I feel so bad for him, he played really horrible. That must feel depressing, I'm sure he worked hard, but his practice didn't show... Maybe he wasn't practiced vs P at all...
Well chaps, it's been nice to be your (terrible) LR. You won't see this often in the future, hopefully. That assume that someone more responsible comes along anyway.

"What do you think, Pekka?" "Meow, meow meo mau." "Proxy gateway and forge, huh? I'm not so sure..." "MEOWMEOWMEW!!!" "Okay okay, calm down I'll do it."

You got to LR Elfi advancing to ro16. It's good enough my son

I think exactly the opposite
Really? They're pretty much random and absurdly broken at lower levels. After drilling claws (which I REALLY can't believe is still a thing) a zerg player has 1 second to react to a burrowed mine. As a zerg it feels like there are no countermeasures once the mine count gets high enough. And luckily enough they can be produced two at a time
It gives a lot to the Terran gameplay in terms of space control, how it interacts with bio. But above all I think it's one of the few things in sc2 which allows comebacks, it rewards skill and all those "OOOOOH SHIII!" moments that are just way too few in sc2.
This doesn't mean I don't hate it when a Terran randomly boosts into my mineral lines and all my shit dies though.
back in my day you made comebacks the hard way down 100 supply with tanks and bio.

Er I was referring to the game stuchiu referenced, where a Terran apparently came back when he was down 100 supply, with tanks and MMM. Thanks for helping!
