"Ah weak queens i can do a lot of damage with my marines + medivacs" there. But the issue is that the queens on creep (+ one additional queen supported them) can kite the BC's. In hindsight he should have teleported to the main and he could have assisted back and forth with his marine-medivacs (between the 3rd and main Reynor had a very low drone-count and its very plausbile could have killed like 10 drones with the BC + marines bringing him into a favorable position. That said, I still think he would have lost the game regardless. Going mech was simply not the correct decision, but appeared like desperation through the following logic: 1. "I can't win in bio-macro games". 2. I can't win with all-ins anymore. --> Hence I need to mech. Even after he teleported to the 3rd, I have no idea why he didn't move the BC towards the right side edge between the main and the 3rd. He lost like half the HP retreating back across creep. To me it indicates that HM is not that practiced playing BC opener. And against Reynor you are not gonna win when you play a style you are relatively worse at. | ||

Sub 20K viewer I wonder how is this even possible I remember viewer counts near 100K 2-3 years ago. Quite a sharp decline. | ||

I don't honestly, unless we were piggy backing of Blizzcon or Katowice other esport streams. But yeah we lost a good 10k average in the last 2 years. The money vs viewers number is actually insane though, good for us  | ||

Not that I blame the other casters since they seem to be friends with most of the European players. | ||
