Eh depends on map order Also I've seen him beat Rogue and Solar late game, it can't be much easier than beating Reynor  | ||

It is really difficult to find enjoyment from this slow inevitability as a viewer. I think changes favouring early action, like the hellbat pushes would make for a better viewer experience. I'm a casual viewer. So I can't comment on actual balance too much. Of late, TvZ has been frustrating to watch. I'm actually pro-T in BW, but originally pro-Z in SC2 (I didn't like how efficient MMM were). But in past 1-2 years, seems like the pendulum has shifted. Everything T throws at Z can get countered with the same strat (Queens hold the fort, delay long enough for banes and mutas to pop). Even if a base dies, they can easily drone up and stabilise. It's just gotten really stale to watch. | ||

Kind of puts you off. Honestly kind of done with reading feedback and chat etc, my mentality isn't good again for it lately and I honestly think I might have to take a step back from casting for a while because of it. I know it's a vocal minority and you can't please everyone etc but it just feels impossible to be happy with what I do lately, maybe better to just let the better casters take my place until I'm actually ready to do a proper job of it t-t Wardi you're amazing!!! Chin up boss! | ||

When no one cares enough to point out when a performance is sub par. Apathy is the killer. Criticism is the result of passion. Learn the difference. You can be critical and then you can be a straight up ass. Many fans conflate the two. It's weirdly aggressive the way people attack these casters. Look in Twitch chat when people saw ZG and Maynarde were shown as the casters for the grand finals. Literally 100s of THANK GOD ITS NOT FEARDRAGON AND WARDI. That's just freaking stupid. I think Pig and Rotti makes more sense for this match up, but you won't see me being disrespectful about it. And for the record I didn't think Lexender's comment was meant to cause a shit storm. I was surprised Wardi reacted in that way. | ||

Just my (unpopular?) opinion, but I think the SC2 player base has thinned out enough so that it's really heavily subject to variance as to which races end up with the top-tier talent. Kind of like fighting games/smash melee and which characters ended up getting mained by the most talented players. | ||

Not yet elite Rotti/Artosis tier, but right below it. You also improved a lot in terms of entertainment factor and your game knowledge is really high. Your synergy with Rotti, DeMuslim or Harstem has become excellent. Also you are a great host. That being said, I don't think reading comments on TL is good for your mental health (it sure is not for mine and I do not even have to put myself into the spotlight in front of a tons of bitter people). Just keep up the good work and focus on the positives, you have come a long way! | ||

I was surprised Wardi reacted in that way. There's an obvious difference when someone is being a hater and when someone is offering honest criticism. Putting a blanket label on ALL criticism doesn't help anybody it just shelters people that can't handle criticism. I don't know about Wardii, but I know Feardragon can tell the difference, he'll take that shit on the chin. If you're going to be a public personality then learning how to deal with Twitch chat is something you're just going to have to do. If you can't handle Twitch chat, then honestly what are you doing being a streamer in the first place? | ||

Europe has always been Zerg heavy, Korea has always had lots of Terrans at the top. And in NA I kind of feel like Protoss has traditionally been doing quite well. | ||

He is so strong. The only zerg I can't see him winning a major match against at all is dark, who seems to have a special anti-trap feature to his bag of builds. | ||
