i dunno. i haven't really watched him too much. but in general i don't like angry/raging streamers

i enjoy watching harbleu (partly) because he's so laid back even when he's playing for rank 1 on the server

i normally don't but in his case i do find it amusing, probably because i have a decent understanding of BW

Yeah it was weird hearing Tasteless and Artosis joking around about like "oh the guy must totally be saying you're literally trying so hard right now!" and then flicking on his stream one day and he's saying exactly the same thing, but, genuinely.

BTW speaking of ragey streamers, Avilo (Crunchums you might know him as like the most famous balance-whiner on TL) is a stalker

I couldn't help thinking though, watching that game, that it's really only spectacular because we never see it. Starcraft 2 was a lot more careful about its spells and making some for every race to have that directly contributed to fights, but didn't out-and-out decide them, and they show up there all the time. So much so that during the deathball meta every engagement just seemed to be who could use their spells better. Even now I think it's somewhat like that, because the base unit AI is so good that micro gets underemphasised.

agree, but the reason we never see it is that it's very difficult to pull off, so I still think it's pretty spectacular! although in this particular case it was less "normal play but I mix in ensnare" and more like a particular style of play that sets up a situation in which ensnare turns the tide. but that's also super impressive in terms of strategy, like he forced/predicted the exact situation where ensnare would work

have there been any pro-matches where someone intentionally made way too many overlords just to stop valkyries from working properly?

also did they fix that in remastered?
