Good episode, no need to appologise for it JP. Glad to hear Day9 is going to be able to be on regularly again too, inControl's jokes are so much better with Day9 laughing himself to death in the background. Speaking of which, did inControl actually compliment Artosis without it being the setup for a joke?

I know the last question mentioned fencing and I would argue that it feels awful similar to Starcraft. I have fenced on a national level here in Canada, been to many national championships, stuff like Canada Winter Games. Now I am far from the best (my provincial titles translated to bottom third performances nationally) but playing Starcraft feels awful similar. Fencing is more strategic game than physical. Sure you need physical execution (APM) but thinking is infinitely more important. And alot of sports could fall under this but it feels more Starcraft-esque in fencing. Both starcraft and fencing are games where you can practice your strategy for months but it is all for not if your opponent disengages alot (dodging) or canon rushing you. The key is strategy is so dependent on the match you are playing.

Also the 1v1 tournament culture produces very very similar feels. Now I haven't been to MLG or something but from reading about it and other tournaments it strikes me exactly as a fencing tournament. From how brackets work to how famous names can drop early or later, all depending on how someone preforms that day. Even the social aspects seem very social with people coming together as good friends only as these massive tournaments despite being spread across the continent.

That was awful long but if anyone yall want to try some physical activity that has a Starcraft feel maybe go pick up a fencing sword. Maybe some other fencers here on TL can back me up.

I think he meant he's the best ranked random player, which he is by a huge margin.

When I heard InControl get ready to talk about the WeRRa scandal i was like "Oh god no." But then he actually did a good job explaining it so, kudos you InControl for showing us where the line between a joke and a serious topic is.

JP "But actualy they did" :O

I think this is mostly due to the lack of random players in general ;P we all sorta picked a race and stuck with it after TLO went ahead and rolled terran so there aint really a figurehead for that stuff :3

I just started listening to tonight's episode but I'm loving hearing them complain about Blizzard's handling about the Blizzcon Tournament, I can only imagine what they would've said if they were actually there witnessing the tournament's problems at the convention

Wow I'm totally not ever listening again, mainly because of Incontrol not making jokes about molestation. It's really dissapointing and made me visibly angry to the point of shaking. I can't believe this incredulence and white washing. SOTG/MLG/EG ban Incontrol forever!

note I'm just bringing this up since it seems very important to be angry at incontrol for silly reasons in this thread

Hints about it affecting all EG teams probably points to a big new sponsor. Perhaps something outside of the typical gaming hardware realm, like a Lays or some other huge corporation which would help bring competitive gaming into the mainstream.

Haha, I was listening to iNcontroL talking about having bunny hears on his hands, I had no idea what he was talking about so I started making the motion and went "Ooooh... air quotes!"

Anyways, I'd like to echo the previous request about that picture of HD doing the dagger eyes thing. And err... unless the story is supposed to be hush hush, does anyone know about that tournament that Fenix(?) couldn't go to?

Hey, just finished listening to the cast. Thanks for answering my question guys. It's great that you and Nony are on teams that you're proud of and feel comfortable with.

I have a follow-up question: should there be an age limit for professional players, or alternate leagues for REALLY young players? I know the sport still has to mature, but the idea of a 15 year old kid dropping out of school to play professional Starcraft 10+ hours a day just doesn't seem good for the sport's reputation in the long-term.
