It came to me while I watched his stream and, god forgive me, I read the twitch chat a bit. He is just the guy everybody has got an opinion on. Either you hate to love him, or you love to hate him. Publicity wise it seems to work just fine as his stream is widely popular, people watching it have various interesting motivations for sure^^ | ||

People voting against Idra I'm sure is mostly because of the state of the game - also Minigun has been doing well on ladder (because of imbalance or not, idk) hahaha, that doesn't make you sound like a huge idra fanboy and is not biased at all.../sarcasm anyways, minigun is one of NA's best protoss for sure, he's a really strong macro toss, of which there are not many in NA at least. It seems like Idra has trouble vs. his playstyle, and combined with the fact that (despite what Idra's fanboys may say) they seem to be around the same skill level, overall minigun is a really strong opponent. I look forward to these games!! <go minigun  > | ||

I look forward to these games!! <go minigun >I'm not bitching about balance. I do think Minigun is the best NA toss (Huk perhaps?). I've watched Minigun's stream a bit recently, and he's certainly good. I'm just saying I can probably accurately estimate that Idra has more fans than Minigun - somebody said because of this, they're surprised Idra has less votes to win. If you're denying that toss is stronger than zerg atm, you're trying a bit too hard to be unbiased. This early into a new game, I don't see why it's a bad thing to call things "not perfectly balance" or "a lategame composition of X race is unbeatable if played correctly". I'm not complaining because I love Idra and think he's gonna lose, but based of what I've (and everybody else) has seen from toss.. you can't not admit they don't have an edge if they can get to that late game. It's like saying a mech army is unkillable if it gets maxed.. that's not balance talk, that's just army strength talk. | ||

I don't think Sniper has a huge fan base and he's certainly relevant in tournaments. Either way, he's better than Minigun. Hope the series isn't painful to watch. | ||
