Essentially thats what blogs are about, a place where you post your opinions.

I find it funny how theres people trying to lynch Cloud for saying he doesn't like someone, its about as childish as it gets. Its not every day you get the uncensored thoughts of a progamer. Progamers and eSports are trying to sell themselves so much that its easy to forget that it all started with a bunch of passionate guys that enjoyed playing video games.

I really enjoyed watching you in HSC, ClouD. Honest commentary, and your view on german pizzas is spot on. Pineapples on pizzas are an atrocity!

Btw, you said some nice things about Snute @HSC, but how do you really feel about him?

I think he's a nice guy and I really respect his hard work. The fact he is Zerg plays a somewhat medium role in his success but I still think he deserves what he got and I really hope he keeps doing well.

Why do you have such strong feelings against the Zerg race's balance at the moment? For example, Zerg is doing very badly in IEM Katowice. TLO and Nerchio were the only Zergs to make it past the group stage and TLO only made it to the Ro8. Doesn't that show that matchups are not Zerg-favored?

I loved the game at first and even though I played Protoss in SCBW I switched to Terran in SC2 because I thought it was by far the most challenging and fun to play.


then

I will switch to Protoss for two reasons. First I think Protoss is extremely easy to play in WoL and this won't change in HotS. Second is the distorted way David Kim talks about balance when he releases interviews. He said that it was ok for Zerg to be dominant for some months since Terran was the best in Korea at the beginning, and now that we had a complete Zerg dominance in the past year they will most likely focus on Protoss more.


So it doesn't matter anymore to you to have fun playing or being challenged? Do you only play to win now?

use your brain, of course he plays to win now. he plays this game professionally.

Good luck cloud. Stay positive! I hope you find a new team soon.

Can you give us some insight into the german scene and the german players (goody, socke, TLO, Hasuobs, xlord, delpi etc)?

Why did you decide to switch to protoss (and not to Zerg e.g.)?
Because of your bw protoss background?
If you look at the balance, it looks like protoss was most of the time underpowered.
http://aligulac.com/periods/
If it keeps that way Zerg would be the best option.

In general I have to say the german top players didn't leave me a good impression. It felt like whenever you give them advice they will try to capitalize on it without giving much back and some of them are very sneaky and untrustworthy. One I really respect and stands out from others is Darkforce. That guy is so honest that I can't help but feel appreciation towards him. Xlord is really funny, but even though I met him a lot I can't say I know much of him, he seems a really reserved person when it comes to private matters.

I will switch to Protoss for two reasons. First I think Protoss is extremely easy to play in WoL and this won't change in HotS. Second is the distorted way David Kim talks about balance when he releases interviews.

Wanted to correct your last statement. It was only the last 6 months (starting in may) that zerg dominance really began. Hasn't been a year but half that so far ^_^.

Terran was winning a ton in tvz until may 10nth or 8'th whenever that queen patch came out. MKP was winning mlg's and DRG was the only zerg who won a tournament or 2, was him and MKP first 5-6 months of wol. Which btw isn't anywhere near as long as terran dominated yet.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Outside of Homestory Cup, the only Zerg dominance I can find recently is by Koreans. And in Proleague, TvZ has been 51-49 on the side of Terrans. In ZvP, it has been 58-42 in favor of Protoss. It seems quite even to me. I do agree that watching Zerg play is boring (coming from a Zerg player), but it seems to be fair right now.

Carlo, I first became aware of you during season 2 of the NASL - I thought it funny that they described your playstyle as "unapologetically macro focused". I've watched your stream as often as I could and enjoyed hearing your honesty compared to other streamers who wanted to make a show or placate fans. As a Terran player I've felt your struggles dealing with the marginalization of our openings and wish you the best with Protoss in HotS. I hope you'll be streaming a lot and enjoying the new race.

Feel sorry for the effect of the Queen patch on you. You were not the only pro Terran, I recall some Terran progamers from US and Europe who are now no longer heard of. I feel sad seeing the ridiculous tournament composition of 1-2 or no Terrans... Can't blame you for wanting to switch in hots but who knows maybe Blizzard will do the same retarded thing to Protoss rofl. Anyways, best of luck and thanks for sharing your experience!

You mean first 5 months of 2012 right? Because first 5-6 months of wol were something different entirely.

I have to agree with White-Ra being an awesome guy. I personally met him at WCG06 in Italy the first time when he, Stork (korean progamer) and Ex (Russian Terran, Russian Terrans were some of the strongest in BW) had a tiebreaker. 3 Players, 2 to advance. Stork wanted to get second because it would mean that he could dodge a korean in the brackets and that the koreans could get top 3. Stork would win against Ex and then drop a game against White-Ra hoping White-Ra would beat Ex, but White-Ra and Ex saw through it and White-Ra would drop his game against Ex to force another tiebreak. Eventually Stork grew tired of the tiebreaks and decided to go 2-0, forcing a Korean out of the tournament in the RO8. Still one of the most amazing and mannered things I've seen.

Also, more importantly Carlo, what are your opinions on Stephano and GoOdy?


Was this Ex player somewhat good-looking?

What is stupid about my question? How about your post here on TL considering your "solution" for gypsies? You should take a long look into the mirror before criticising any other progamers. I personally prefer any "fake" people over fascists. And because you seem to want to dodge any difficult questions I conclude you are both.
