You know, like Reynor went to spend his holiday at Rotti, while I'd be surprise any of the casters even know Dark name. (And no one would be able to hold a conversation with him obviously) Not saying it's a bad thing, but it certainly change the casting dynamic a bit, but again it's a foreing tournament and I'm certainly not blaming the casters for having friends lol On another subject, the zvz was great for me | ||

Viper's abducting is not a proper skirmish or battle in my opinion. It is true that at times we were wondering "how would it play out" - but that had more to do with how game 2 played out and us wondering whether Dark could repeat it. If you just evaluate this game by itself - e.g. if it was a ladder game - we would all have agreed it was shit. Personally I was entertained by the game and very much enjoyed the series as a whole, but that had more to do with the stakes + narrative and not the actual game quality. | ||

Artosis’ clear contempt for Patience’s style and veneration of Stats always added something to his casts | ||

If that was a ladder game I would've been thoroughly impressed as well. | ||

I'm very impressed by how he's consistently making it work. Clem probably puts a bit too much focus on his mechanical prowess. Edit: This game his standard play looks solid as well. | ||

HM is more about solid gameplan and decisions, never stellar, always solid, always improving bit by bit. | ||
