Incontrol, I think you are wrong about MC vs HasuObs. As far as I remember MC made a 1gate robo and 2 observer and Hasu made 3gate robo and 1 observer. MC started the colossi production earlier. The reason why he could defend it was that he took huge risks in the early game. | ||

A discussion on balance with 4 players of one race (3 of which are not achieving to a standard they want, the other just lost a major final) is not a balanced discussion. I don't care about going over a balance debate AGAIN but if you do, make it an equal argument (or better discussion). Otherwise it comes across shoddy journalism verging on propaganda. Was it really that much about balance? That lil bit of ZvP? Where they said that it is just a normal evolution that Zergs are figuring out how to beat Protoss and now seem kind of dominant? Did they complain, say this or that is OP? Sure, the talk was very Protoss focussed, but it was rather about their feeling about what is going on in ZvP and not about balance in particular. Also the question what kind of unit Protoss could use in the expansion is not balance but rather gameflow and playstyle related. So what is the matter? If you are T or Z it may have been boring, but after all the talk about "balance" was so general and broad I don't think anyone should feel hurt. | ||

Geoff is bogged down with casting all day, ITG then SOTG, and all the traveling hes been doing for Intel. Geoff is making the right decision leaving SOTG. However, it still bums me out  Sad panda is sad.  I wonder who JP can invite to be the new "Geoff". Naniwa i hope, he was absolutely hillarious in the after game cast on huk's stream. (though i doubt it) | ||

I am also imagining Day[9]'s face when everyone realises why he didn't properly argue balance against IdrA...because time is his greatest ally. Shift in metagame. Sad that incontrol is leaving, but he's leaving because he's busy which covers everything including money or a different show. Stop crying about his reasons, this is his livelihood, if he needs to stop doing something like sotg to maintain that, no one should judge. I'm gonna miss him on sotg, but he's smart and I'm sure he's making a better decision for his life. Also it probably isn't easy for him to leave no matter what reason so stop hatin' | ||

A GSL final between the best zerg on the planet and a PvP sniper who go DT 3 game in a row, and a light win streak during the new qualifer is definitly not enough to say that.. | ||

I know, I would have loved Idra on there explaining how this wasn't actually the game evolving but rather that every single protoss suddenly became shit at the game and that's why zergs are winning. I really hope this will open people's eyes to the possibility of balance changing without patches. | ||

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that he leaves because a) he has to stop working like a maniac before he gets burned out so he just steps back from whatever he can so he can sleep 5 hours once a week instead of the usual 3. b) JP became full time MLG lately. Geoff is NASL. Both organizations are competitors (or competitors to be) on the Western starcraft scene, and with sponsors pbbly getting bigger all the time, all of them might have their word to say about who does what and when with the money they provide. Probably the same reason why people from different TV channels do not meet regularly. It might not be the reason (yet) but as e-sports will grow and more money gets involved, I guess these things are bound to happen someday. If a replacement ever is to be found, my vote would go to Destiny. He's a good player, articulate, thought provoking - with a crass humor - at times, probably still has some free time to dedicate to that (and could benefit from it) and he's zerg. As long as he refrains from too much imba talk and being too rude, he might possibly make a great pillar for the show. Lots of other great names out there but all those I can think of are too politically correct/dull to make for an entertaining couple of hours. He seems like perfect fit in terms of the comedy that Incontrol brought and he has a lot of fans so he could easily being in a lot of viewers for SOTG, but I can see lots of people getting upset because he hasn't really been a top competitor in any tournaments. | ||

I really hope this will open people's eyes to the possibility of balance changing without patches. It was actually sad a few weeks ago when IdrA was like 'When zerg wins a game, then we'll talk.' Inc; 'Yeah you're totally right. JP would you like to continue your interview with the winner of the IPL?' To which IdrA's response was he is 100 times better than all the NA players. Nestea is just better. Ret won Assembly because he's better, he's supposed to win. 5 minutes later, talking Sen vs Naniwa, Inc; 'Funnily enough the zerg won that series...odd...' IdrA; '...you do realise how much better Sen is than Naniwa right?' I was like...for fucks sakes. Change the record. | ||

Looking forward for them to add someone else to the show as a mainstay, hopefully a terran, as I feel the combo of Tyler (P), Day9(R, but mostly Z lets be honest), and [insert interesting sc2 character here] (T) would balance out the show much better. | ||

Incontrol is great. I love his insight. He's smart, funny and seems like a really nice guy. And i do like the calls from his GF. So SOTG without him will really lack something. This makes me sad. | ||

Really sad to see Geoff go, but i'm sure if there is a replacement full time pillar they will choose wisely. GOGO Geoff, Tyler, Naniwa at MLG! <3 | ||
