Innovation vs Time

I left a comment in the comment section on sc2casts in the last GSL finals where someone asked what we think about the SC2 casters. And I think the conversation at 9:30 in this video is a really good example.

They talk about how Inno is a macro god and how someone like TIME could possibly beat him. During the conversation, they don't mention a few of the most important aspects of TvT, whereas I feel someone like Wolf would definitely have been able to mention these as to what TIME could do to beat him.

For you that watched a lot of top tier TvT's, you know for a fact that undetected drops can turn the tides, or earlier air dominance allows for quicker pushes, a greedier play that doesn't get scouted or perhaps even trying to get the opponent to misread your build order, or proxies.

In this match in particular - Artosis points this out later - you can see that TIME has a great understanding of reaper micro and how he was able to win the reaper battles for each of these games.


So that's my point with these casters. 9:30 try to ridicule TIME in that "there's no way he's better at anything that Inno does". I feel Wolf would have made a much more objective point of view.

Then again, Rapid would've just joked until the end of the GSL super tournament turning it into a cringefest and brendan would just nod to everything the other caster says he's partnered up with - so I don't feel that Tastosis is/are bad by any means, but they should try to be a bit more objective and analytical about discussions like these.



I agree with #1. Tastosis are the best casters available but they still have a lot to improve on.
