    Some comments mention that I accidentally switched up some of the games. I am really sorry for that, I didn't wanna know who won what maps so I wouldn't spoil myself and I assumed I had received the games in the correct order. I should've asked someone else to tell me the correct order of the maps to circumvent this problem. Really sorry for this and I will make sure it will never happen again in the future.

    52:53 Absolutely insane bait by Dark. Don't see the hold fire command used very often, but definitely a game-changing move right there. Reynor lost 30 army supply to 2 lurker volleys.

    Harstem admitting he couldn't beat an Ultralisk in a 1-on-1 fight is the type of honesty we appreciate from casters.
    48:00 - 54:00 notice how Dark reduces his drone count as part of the strategy. Since he's hardly losing any resources, he can increase army size and lower his economy early on.

    26:16 yes, pilot sits on the top part of the ship. It seems to be small, but the problem is the unrealistic scale of the units in SC2, and if you will compare it with Phoenix it is about the same scale of the cabin.

    I would like to see starcraft, or a game like it, played in competition 1v1 but where each player has a team of strategists, with some sort of pause mechanic, like other sports. For example, you could have a pause once every 5 minutes, plus each player would get 2 pauses they could use at any point in the game. During a pause, players would be able to talk to their team to plan their next moves. I think this would be a fun format of competition in addition to the normal structure, because at the top level, these players are playing with such technical skill that their brains are often times mostly occupied with the huge amount of mechanical micro decisions they must make just to keep up with production and micro. I think having this structure would allow for more strategy to be introduced into the game.

  • @lassouss2830

    A bit late of of a comment, but in my mind the Oracle is the spirit of a dead Protoss (the green thing in the center), that has been put in a ship to keep fighting for Aïur. Like Phoenix, the old Raynor's friend that has been put in a robot.

    I really like what raynor is doing, trying to take down the best players via utilizing the things he have faced as playing zerg. he's intimate knowledge of zerg makes him a likely candidate for the chosen one. The greatest of all time will definetly be a player able to utilizing all races. In a match where the map and races are known he would be unbeatable. I say go Rainor, take the game to a new level please. beat serral with terran and toss, beat dark with the same. take buyn as zerg, win over astrea just with whatever, i mean he's NA after all.
    buy silver,heirloom seeds long lasting food, water filters and more of any medicine you need.

    It's akin to him just yawning in the face of his opponent and going, "man this is so boring... You know what? I'm gonna just do this since it doesn't matter anyways."
