aLives too aggressive for him. In TvT right now thats the best way to do it. Id still say maru looks like the better technical player, in games 2 and 3 aLive had massive advantages that he kept throwing.
Really wish we didn't have those proxies though, shame they didn't play in GSL Super

Seriously! Its super annoying. Casters should just stop trying to sound all-knowledgeable and to predict everything. More play by play, less analyzing.

Maru kept his Vikings next to his main for so long but if he moved them once the GG doomdrop was always gonna happen
What does that have to do with what I said though?
You said that aLive almost through it. I'm saying Maru did
Well he wasn't really ahead so I wouldn't consider it a throw. And even then, aLive almost threw the game back at him.
Its more the fact he was watching for doomdrops for so long. Then he moves his Vikings and bam. He wasn't ahead but its the move that lost him the game.

And and leaving all his tanks unsieged. Again
I mean he could have placed his sensor towers properly to avoid that whole disaster. And he still almost won because aLive didn't feel like making stuff.

I enjoy analysis when it's well done. I enjoyed Apollo's casts the most, especially around 2013/14. He was knowledgeable about every race to the point where he could point out pros' mistakes and they would agree. That's extremely rare, and it was great to listen to. Even at high masters playing against GMs I still learned something from his casts.
I think the most underrated aspect of analytical casting is the building of ingame storylines. When someone chooses a strategy, you can point out their decision and clearly draw an image of what either player has to work with and what their goals are. Then it becomes more exciting to follow the game and see how they go about it.
