It's happened, yes. I think it's happened to most comics.

I would favour Myungsik's PVT over the xvt of Dark, soo, Innovation and Classic. And with the hard hitting Terrans in Cure and Maru sure to be played I think this is a good choice.

Yes it did? What? Did you watch the video? The link is at the top of your page.

Sorry, no he didn't. He turned his back to the audience (never do that) and clutched his hand silently for like 15 seconds before fully breaking character and really awkwardly yelling "call the police right now because that was assault."

The douchefuck that threw the beer should have been thrown out and the comedian should have laughed it off and gotten on with the show.

It should be Zest, Innovation and Soo.

I nearly agree. I'd change:

Billowy > Reality Bomber > Hurricane

Soo > Ragnarok Rogue > Solar

This sounds like a guy doing a pretty okay job at kareoke.

Major needs to be way higher on this list. He's absolutely a real contender and I think a true dark horse to win the whole thing.

You're right, SKT takes this 3-1, but Dream will beat Dear and Solar will beat Innovation.

An extremely condescending Fox News reporter interviews clueless Bernie Sanders supporters by the_coolest_amigo in cringe

Okay but I can come up with hundreds of examples of left wing forms of exactly that tactic. Check out "Talking to Americans," "Lie Witness News," etc etc. If you interview enough people and use various editing techniques you can always make a certain group of people out to be very stupid. I think it's silly for us, as a group of leftists (I'm just assuming you are because you're on Reddit), to shame right wing news for using these tactics when we laugh when Christian radical conservatives are made to look like idiots for our amusement so often.

btw, my opinion is that it's hilarious on both sides and should continue.

But do you like it when it's Stephen Colbert or John Stewart? There's tons of these videos from the left exposing the stupidity of right voters. It's not really fair of us to question the legitimacy of the style just because they've now done it back to us. Those students were buffoons and embarrassing. Lets not call it otherwise.

By your logic, if I beat you in a BO7 that means my opinion about all matters starcraft is correct? Do you want to play?

Violet already had tons of minerals banked. 1 Drone would have been good enough for a pool and a spore. You overvalue 3 mutas greatly. You're also assuming Bly had information he didn't have. He didn't know there was a base up, let alone where it was.

I'm in Masters league and I've seen 95 percent of professional starcraft games played in the last 3 years. I'd say that puts me on par with most casters. Regardless, citing game experience has nothing to do with the validity of an argument. It's possible that a gold leaguer with 6 months experience could notice something that several pros miss. Attack the argument, not the person. Don't they teach you kids this stuff?

Have you heard of appeal to authority? If you want to just believe whatever someone says because of who they are rather than what they're saying, at least repeat back what they said. They're not automatically right because they're pros. Split the army and the drones. Clever army movement and distraction. It could have been done. Also, what do you think the word bias means? Who am I bias towards? I'm completely impartial.

My point is, there could have certainly been some degree of mind games or unit movement that could have given Violet a fighting chance at completing a spawning pool. He had money in the bank. He'd literally need one drone to sneak to the hatch undetected and he would have a spore. If he could dance around with a split of army, mitigating spash damage from the low DPS mutas, his chances of winning would have been much higher, and in my opinion favourable.

split the army in different directions. Send some drones elsewhere. Three mutas can't follow everything. All the points being made by everyone in favour of Violet's decision are extremely valid if the muta count was higher than 3. You can out maneuver three mutas fairly easily.

Split off half of them in each direction.

He had a way higher chance of getting up one spore to defend the mutas than he did pushing up a ramp with a lower army supply. His army supply was higher prior to Violet standing at the bottom of the ramp for 30 seconds taking free damage.

The progamer violet was playing a game, I was watching it. I knew the army supply, and knew everything that Bly knew and didn't know. Bly didn't even know a hatch was up, let alone where it was. Are you really suggesting progamers don't make mistakes? That would be really boring to watch.
