This is (sadly) probably true. Dumb mechanical mistakes really hurt PartinG here (forgetting warpgate in g3, messing up hotkeys causing him to lose half his army twice in g6). Had he quit streaming clown builds on NA ladder in the run up to this match, and instead spent time practicing his GSL game, maybe that doesn't happen.
On the other hand, he has nearly 2K subs on twitch last time I checked? For someone streaming regularly he's probably getting at least $6-7K a month there. So choosing to stream over practice for GSL does have some merit to it, it's just sad that in this case he might have actually won this entire season.

Maybe, who knows?
TY being a case in point actually. He’s had a bump in results being a caster, maybe it’s been a help in his mentality and he’s showing his best form. Maybe Parting takes out Maru, deservedly with a ‘fuck it I’m a streamer anyway let’s just see what happens’ kind of attitude.
Completely fell apart with giant mistakes against TY when the match took on a ‘oh I have a shot at winning the GSL’
Money from streaming aside, in terms of what is best for Parting to do who knows?
