If he's being reasonable then people shouldn't say anything but if he acts like he does there's no reason for mods to defend him unless the attacks go overboard (ie. racist or stalkerish). | ||

@ Husky: I believe the idea behind the term "double-edged sword" is that it has the potential to cut oneself as easily as, or instead of, the opponent. Hope that helps. =] | ||

By no means are we trying to cater to everybody, that would be impossible ![]() We do make mistakes but we are human like everybody else, and we do try our best and hear all criticism. Its our hope that we can make Esports big outside of Korea, and so we have a big target audience/demographic ![]() At the end of the day, the goal is for everybody to enjoy watching this tournament. We will do our best to improve the next round of 8 and give a good show! | ||

This wasn't discussed at the end of part 2 of the first game (the first discussion), so how did orb know hd/husky talked about it? Of course he could've inferred, but it sounded like orb knew what hd/husky were saying. Is it possible they were on skype? Not accusing anyone of anything, and I may have certainly missed something, but it sounded strange to me that orb laid claim to that piece of information. The games weren't casted live, so orb listened to the cast of the game's replay. | ||

Not that I thought anyone was cheating. I don't think husky/HD are capable of that at any length, it just seemed super weird to me. But now it makes sense. O.K. Recovery, recovery. | ||

Hope that helps. =] The idea behind a double-edged sword is that it has greater potential to harm the adversary, hence they were employed very often throughout history. Single-edged swords, such as the cutlass, falchion, and sabre, have the lone advantage of being sturdier and unlikely to break under heavy force (like a cavalry charge) If anything, a "double-edged sword" refers to a situation that must be handled with more skill rather than brute force. For this reason alone, the situation has the possibility of turning on the swordsman. It has nothing to do with the sword's potential to cut the person wielding it. ![]() | ||

Literally, a sword which cuts either way; metaphorically, an argument which makes both for and against the person employing it, or which has a double meaning. http://www.bartleby.com/81/5265.html | ||

from the notion that even as one edge of a two-edged sword can be directed at an enemy or otherwise do your bidding, the opposite edge, pointing back as it does towards you, is at risk of doing you harm [edit] Noun Singular double-edged sword Plural double-edged swords double-edged sword (plural double-edged swords) 1. (idiomatic) A benefit that is also a liability, or that carries some significant but non-obvious cost or risk. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/double-edged_sword | ||

![]() In fact I get more distracted with the bars turned off because I'm constantly wishing the camera person would click on a specific building or a set of units so I can see what/if it's building, how much energy it has, etc. It's easy to turn on, it's in the Gameplay options. If there's a legitimate reason that you keep them off I'd like to hear it ![]() But other then that great casts! | ||
