We've finally got a professionally employed English caster. GOMTV is currently running the GOMTV Star Invitational, with sixteen of the best or most influential Starcraft players. On top of that, they are broadcasting a separate ENGLISH stream online with the hopes of capitalizing on the foreign market. Tasteless (the commentator who has done Blizzcon, WWI, and WCG) will be doing solo commentary for the entire tournament, and is in the talks to begin commentating on further tournaments.
I'm posting this hear because GOM is gauging their future actions based on the response and traffic that this project generates from foreign sources. I know some people enjoy casually watching Starcraft, and this is fairly easy way to watch professional games with english commentary.

A typical ZvT starts with a 3 Hatchery before tech build. Savior went for 2 Hatch Mutas, which usually sets you behind if scouted, because the Terran can turtle up and roll out with a force large enough that Zerg can't deal with it. Flash scouted it, and built SIX (more than four is almost never seen) Turrets! And the harass was still effective! Flash actually lost his natural expansion, and somehow was able to weather the storm and win. It was incredible play from both.
I feel sad for Savior because he used to be the number one player not even 6 months ago, but he's been slumping hard. In his prime no one could touch him, if you faced Savior you simply lost, and that was that. It's tough watching him lose so much nowadays. I think he deserved to win after that effort and I'm pretty amazed Flash came back after his natural died to win. Crazy game!
Also I didn't see too many obvious errors, other than splitting of Irradiated Mutalisks, but that's pretty easy to forgive considering it is one of the hardest things to do in the game and is so high pressure because your units take crazy damage for every second you don't split them. Maybe Savior could have transitioned into Defilers, but he was pretty behind in map control and upgrades. Honestly, they replay that game 10 times, Flash loses 9 of them.
