      Feels like psi Storm should be able to be cast on a lurker before you die. Maybe increasing the range is too much of a buff but...I think it would make more sense.

    Love seeing more matches of the captain. While not as fast as the other players in terms of APM, he is very technical and patient. I heard someone (artosis, but not sure) say that starcraft is more of an action game, rather than a strategy game... Well, Harstem puts the strategy back into starcraft with his scouting and decision making regarding compositions before the fight even starts. I missed this part of the game. Would like to see more of it in the future.

    10:10: OMG LOL xD Their whole race paid with blood to give them time to build their strength, only to watch them commit suicide without firing a shot!
    23:01: Not stutter-stepping the Broods back here cost him big.
    42:38: Brooo... this was so bad from So0. He could see the Toss army moving to flank and chose to keep all of his Ultras attacking a Nexus, when 1 would have done the job, leaving his Broods and detection out to dry. Then he tries to fight AFTER losing the detector AND doesn't even split the Ultras to flank... what a travesty. As if making Ultras wasn't bad enough to begin with ;p
    49:21: I can't believe how much time Harstem wasted, letting Soo build up an overwhelming force. He had such an easy win back when it was just Immortal vs Ultra. All he had to do was force the fight. Instead, he just danced around, knowing he had no mining, while the opponent built up another 60 supply. Baffling. That first Fungal on the Immortals, activating the Barriers, made all the difference. They were defenseless right as the Ultras reached them.
    1:00:39: CLUTCH! =0
    1:01:27: The banelings learned this from my middle-school teacher: "I can wait"
    1:03:01: 🤣
    1:04:44: It's so ridiculous how often people - pro players even - do this. What are they thinking?
    1:05:24: So0, you have Lings and Banes, he's got Storms, and he's in a kill-box. Why are you attacking from a single direction??
    1:07:12: Dat base layout doe! He been plannin' for defending Ultras from day one ;p
    1:07:57: Again. This was better but if he'd sent a few Ultras around the top, or even run some up on move-command from the bottom, to flank the rear, he would have won.
