Papa_Bear or Andriode? Personal favourite between the two?

I'd actually love to have a reason why or if you like one better... it would be kinda interesting.

Edit: For the heck of it I'll throw BlackMan in there as well. lol as an Under Dog I guess...

You were talking on SotG about the concerns you have surrounding the Master/Grand Master leagues. Specifically what I recall is concern about the rumor (maybe its confirmed) that the highest league would have replays publicly released, which is obviously a concern for players who dont want their builds and stuff to be scouted.

However, just as obviously, replays from top players are a hugely useful resource for players who are trying to improve, far more so (imo) than VODs.

With that in mind, what would you think about a system where replays are publicly released but made anonymous? Would playstyles still be too obvious to top players?

the community would make a game of finding out who it is via hotkey chart / apm and playstyle. Any replay released anonymously would be "found out" within a day or two.

With that in mind, can you think of any concessions that can give some kind of benefit to both sides? Maybe something like not showing the hotkeys?

Blizz pays money to the players for their money to make it worth their while. If a player HAS to play the ladder to qualify for big tourneys and the organization takes all privacy out of the matter it creates a big shit fest. It's one thing to release reps from a tourney but to show what they were practicing for said tourney is bad.

People will always be able to figure it out. And blizzard would never make a name/apm/hotkey function where they show as anonymous since 90% of the draw for that rep isn't specifically what they are doing but who they are. Secondary is what they are doing imo.

I would heartily agree with this. A lot of the other stuff can be inferred realistically. It's also reasonable to release the reps a good few months after games, just for the fun of being able to cast super old games, or just so people have access to em./

Hey iNcontrol, I know you recently visited Seoul. I was wondering about your thoughts on the whole SC2 scene and it's future in Korea (will it ever replace BW)? Reason I ask is because we still hear from a lot of people (Super Daniel Man, for instance) that SC2 is somewhat failing in Korea- and won't catch on for various reasons: BNet, PC requirements, accessibility, etc. Also, is it true that SC2 is rarely played in PC bangs? Thanks for your thoughts!

Now that the game has been out for a little bit longer, what's your opinion on custom/user melee maps being used in tournaments, in ladder, or in both?

If you had to wear flip flops in a bo5 against a bronze league player in a stable, would you win or lose?

Secondly, where do you see yourself this time next year as far as your standing in the starcraft pro scene? Your skill at the game has clearly improved continuously, and with your drive to go to korea, do you realistically see yourself as a serious contender? And if somehow you were unable to compete at a serious level in korea, would you focus more on coaching and NA and EU tournaments or possibly try and do more casting?

Who would win in a fight to the death, Idra or Artosis?

Rank all the EG players in order of most to least success with the ladies.

Such a hard fucking pick. I'd say idra. He's been in the gym lately and can actually hold himself. Put rage in there and it's easy. Artosis however hasn't been around for thousands of years for nothing.

1. myself - obviously?
2. LzGameR - regular gf he loves dearly and is prob most handsome
3. Machine - Currently has a gf for the first time in 3-4 years...
4. IdrA - standard
5. Axslav - I have no idea but he looks like an italian actor so probably.
6. StrifeCro - Too adorable to not. Again I have no idea.
7. Nyoken - Never dated anyone that I know of.
8. Space for gravity
9. Another blank to give you an idea
10. Now we are getting really severe...
11. iNkA - Ask Machine/Psyonic reaver what he once did on Psyonic's computer... you will know.

When will you start ignoring the idiots that do not _get_ you? TeamLiquid is filled to the brink with socially awkward nerds that have no capability of comprehending the enormous amount of space you fill both physically and intellectually.

Also you promised to release some home-made footage of you and your girlfriend so in the interest of the internets i shall friendly remind you of such activities. For the greater good.

Sorry if this has been touched on, but I've found zero mention on team liquid. You mentioned in SOTG a trip to dubai. I wasn't sure if you were being serious, but if so could you talk about it? How did you like the country? Who were you coaching and how was the experience? Anything cool happen? (I really hope you weren't kidding)
