Pour Aiur
Andrew admits he was wrong about everything when it came to StarCraft at DreamHack Leipzig, but is happy with a resurgent European scene. Then Rob and Andrew appreciate the return of Brood War, and discuss Luminosity's slow, unsteady rise as a top Counter-Strike team.

StarCraft, CS:GO, Brood War

Good show but I think calling the LoTV balanced isn't really accurate when there is a balance patch tomorrow Nerfing Adepts/Photon overcharge and Uthermal was the only Terran to make it past the round of 32. Uthermal did do some cool meta strategies in this tournament. For example he did a cloaked ghost rush in a series when he knew Showtime would think it was the more common proxy cyclone/reaper build

 

He beat Harstem with a 1/1/1 allin in the last game of the series when they are extremely uncommon on four player maps after also beating him when he had his proxy scouted in the first game and had to play the rest of the game from a disadvantage.

Outside of that Uthermal also played a weird Marinetank composition during his macro games when every other Terran at the tournament favored using liberators/mines with their bio instead.

You left out LoL this week. You were speaking about Immortals the week before. Just watched the VoD from TSM vs. IMT. Are IMT the real deal? Till now they look very strong.
