Crunchums Profile Blog Joined December 2008 United States 11114 Posts #1 Something that I noticed a while ago : during casts, the goliath unit portrait was often blocked. Instead it was replaced by the static that happens when you click on a new unit. See for a great example of what I mean



Today I tuned into the Kim Carry League finals and maybe it's just due to the overlay of the casters but they actually whited out the unit portrait



My curiosity is super piqued, so I am making this thread in the hope that someone who knows something will see it. for a great example of what I meanToday I tuned into the Kim Carry League finals and maybe it's just due to the overlay of the casters but they actually whited out the unit portrait http://imgur.com/THLvogl My curiosity is super piqued, so I am making this thread in the hope that someone who knows something will see it. brood war for life, brood war forever

wow you are right, I just checked some random vid:



It looks like they actively try to avoid clicking on goliaths unless it is absolutely necessary.

When they do, it's just a static screen.







Now WCG, being a non-korean tournament doesn't hide the gol portrait, but it does seem like the observer purposely clicks on every single unit except the goliath.

When he does click on it, he clicks another unit ASAP.





My first thought was maybe they couldn't show images of smoking or it would be rated R or something, but then I looked up the portrait and he's not really doing anything

I've only ever seen this happen while watching Korean tournaments. It's possible it's a a universal thing and I've just never noticed it while watching non-Korean tournaments. Has anyone ever seen this happening outside of a Korean tournament? I've only ever seen this happen while watching Korean tournaments.

31:14 in the first video



its not a static screen, they even keep him clicked for 10 seconds rofl.

this is either a good troll or just the dumbest thing ive ever read I mean did you every thing theres nothing major or interesting about a goliath? They rarely click zerglings or things like that either.Anytime Goliaths are used i feel like Tanks are probably the main focus not the goliathsim just gonna say youre making something out of nothing tbh31:14 in the first videoits not a static screen, they even keep him clicked for 10 seconds rofl.this is either a good troll or just the dumbest thing ive ever read Artillery spawned from the forges of Hell

Isn't that just an overlay? As it goes over the menu button. So it would purposely hide all portaits. Reasoning: because the casters don't wanna share attention with animated portaits .

ok you are absolutely right, this is a clear example that there isn't any bias.



But there are parts of the vid where when a goliath is clicked, it's just static.

So if this isn't intentional, then does the portrait just load poorly sometimes? ok you are absolutely right, this is a clear example that there isn't any bias.But there are parts of the vid where when a goliath is clicked, it's just static.So if this isn't intentional, then does the portrait just load poorly sometimes?

I know i'm right.
