Don't attribute to malice what can also be attributed to ignorance.
Cynicism isn't wisdom; it's a lazy way to say that you've been burned. Seems if anything you'd be less certain after everything you ever learned.

I'm not saying it was aliens...

...but it was aliens!


Also, I think you're missing the most likely single person. Who is a prominent Zerg, with the money to be able to influence SC2 individual developers? Maybe from winning a lot of money, and multiple GSLs? Someone who might be considered a Professor of sorts? EG is just a red herring. Look for some kind of miracle bringing the Zerg back to prominence.

I... wait, there's a knock on my door.

Observer buff was clearly the work of the Super PAC(protoss action committee) Americans for an easier race tomorrow, today.
They are hoping to use the momentum from observer buff into maphack for next patch. Just in time for the upcoming new protoss president election.

Guys, it's the TL admins. They've been using the tears of... everybody as fuel for a new kind of technology where they can become one with the secret elephant hiveminds that come out of the holes in my monitor.

They're watching me now. The elephant hivemind, I mean, not the admins. Although *looks around and viciously scratches scalp* you never know, you know?

At first I was like wtf? Then I looked at who was posting it and instantly knew it was a troll lol.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

It's obviously Quantic. They let Evil Geniuses take the blame for it because the evil genius behind Quantic thought of a name that doesn't give away his wit and sinister plans. Among each other, they call it the Quantic Illusion.

For example: They acquire almost the entirety of NA players (totally accurate) but let E.G. take the spotlight with the acquisition of just one player (le spoon as he is called in French). Der Spoon (as he is called in German) does not even realize that he is part of the Quantic mastermind scheme.

Also, I cannot believe no one has noticed the hidden message in their name (I gues they fell for the Quantic Illusion):

Quan + titty = Quantity.
Therefore: Their plan is domination through quantity (of players) and quantity of patches. Have you noticed that this patch did not undergo the usual quality assurance measures of previous patches? But guess what it did. It added to the Quantity of patches!

Quantic even hints at how the grand scheme will come into fruition AND IT WILL HAPPEN IN 2012. This one was a hard one to figure out but it all makes sense now:

Quan = Rapper, also known as Don Ferquan or Clifford Peacock.
What does that have to do with 2012?
Go to his Wikipedia page and scroll down to Albums. You will realize that he is releasing the album "GLORIOUS STRUGGLE" in 2012! This means the Quantic Illusion will soon not be an illusion anymore.

It is a Quanticking time bomb!

Quan tic tic tic ... BOOM!

I am under great danger now that I have figured out the Quantic Illusion. If this is my last post, may this knowledge live on within you.

It was Flash.

He was all like "hey Blizzard, I really liked Brood War, but it was kinda easy. I don't suppose you could make the AI better for SC2?" to which Blizzard responded "uh, those were other people Flash, not the AI."

Undeterred, he continued on "I mean, you could like make their units a bit better? Or give them more minerals or something?" but Blizzard was stubborn "The game is balanced, just look at the ladder stats, everyone wins 50% of the time"

Eventually Flash offered his 2012 salary to them, which will allow them to make a third expansion after LotV. They just couldn't turn that much money down, and complied.

I think BboongBboongPrime has something to do with this aswell. In Off the Record he was asked which of the two zerg's left in the GSL he wanted to advance. And he said that he wanted both July and Leenock to fail so there would be a patch for zerg.
He may have bribed both of them to lose in order to increase the chance of a patch.
I also believe EG has a part in this aswell. Like others have mentioned, their name says it all.
