Protoss that think PvP is a coinflip only think so because they choose coinflip builds that either give them free wins/advantages or flat out losses

blizzard balance logic:
protoss totally overpowered in midgame - but if they decide to go for macro games they lose to broodlor infestor
this way it makes up for a 50% balance and thats fine right?


Sadly David Kim said that was fine because it was "asymmetric".

Bad excuse because that type of gameplay is bad (even Artosis and Idra agreed on their "Imbalanced" show).


When was the most recent "imbalance" episode?


It was actually from a long time ago (they stopped doing it once Idra left).

Here's the episode with the comment I think (during the answer email questions section) and I think this is also the last episode they did (I can't find episode 4):



Yeah it's really old (colossus + void ray being imba, el oh el).

Besides that though:
They answered an email question regarding whether if a race is strong early on but weak later on vs a race that is weak early on but strong later on, whether if that's balanced and okay for the game?


The response was no because that type of gameplay (where one race tries to defeat the other while the other tries to defend until their late game kicks in) leads to bad gameplay.

So funny to see something that was talked about nearly 2 years ago still relevant today.

Suppy got top 8 so the curse is broken. Sen will get 4th and Parting will win, calling it now.

If the infestor was like the one in the Carbot animation, I doubt anyone would complain about seeing 40 of them on the map at one time. Blizzard fix infestor's by making them cuter.

Life won Code S and MLG and 2nd place TSL4
Rain won OSL, 3rd in WCS Korea, 1st WCS Asia, 3rd/4th in BWC, 3rd/4th in Code S
MVP wins pretty much everything else

no stable champions my ass, people often claim that the same guys winning all the money is preventing rising talent



What people really want is another bonjwa. It seems as if the scene is starved for one. I wonder if it will ever happen. It will definitely be a good thing if it does though..


It won't be possible for a bonjwa to rise in the scene as it is now. Unless you manage to support the entire pro scene to fly around to every single tournament around, there will always be so and so won this other big tournament when one person is dominating somewhere.


That doesn't matter. If someone consistently wins/places very high in top tournaments like GSL and MLG, it doesn't matter if someone else is winning some other tournament occasionally.

SC1 is just such a small society that makes bonjwa possible.
community like SC2 is so big that no one can dominate like SC1, not now, not ever.
We will only have consistent good player, like MVP in the past years, this will be the closest thing to a bonjwa


Since when did bonjwa dictate that the player had to win every tournament there is? I was never under the impression that the player had to even win every tournament they played to be considered, let alone every tournament that they don't play as well. Dominance can be achieved by winning most things and being a favourite to win any tournament they enter as long as they don't start slumping after a few months like they normally do.


Then Mvp is already a bonjwa

I think Parting is going to be okay with losing in GSL to win 40k minimum, that's almost as much as winning a GSL season.

What's the story behind Parting's immortal-sentry all in and "wonwonwon" and "soul train"?


When he started using it in the GSL, he said in an interview the reason it works so well for him (more than others) is because he puts his SOUL into it, something which other progamers can't hope to emulate. As such it is since become known as the Soul Train, and PartinG has also become known as Soultoss.

The "wonwonwon" is another name for the strategy, devised because:
* Won is PartinG's last name.
* Won is the korean currency (so people who like money use it).
* You have 'won' if you pulled it off.
* It sounds like 1/1/1, another infamous and previously OP all-in build.
* There is 3 wons, for each of the 3 immortals in the standard build of it.


And now he did it successfully 3 times a row too, ROFL.

3 is the magic number, WonWonWon

And it was to give Sen a chance at getting another 3rd place!


Damn that is true. o.O

All these number 3's....confused.

Also, Partings birthday is August(8th month) 24th. Now lets do some math, 24/8 and what do we get....OMG its 3!

Coincidence? I think not.
