It seems like Starcraft is all about macro. There is no macro in Chess.

Starcraft is also about multitasking. There is no multitasking in Chess.

Starcraft is also about unit composition and countering the opponent's composition. There is no unit composition in Chess.

Starcraft is about stutter step, unit surrounds, forcefields, storm dodging. There is no micro in Chess.

Chess is about anticipating your opponent's moves and countering them. There is a little of that in Starcraft.

I wouldn't really consider Chess that similar to Starcraft. Chess is a thinking game. Starcraft is more of a sport. And that makes Starcraft far superior than Chess to watch.

I would consider Starcraft more similar to Football or Soccer than Chess.


1. Actually, in a way it is. Batteries remind me of unit comps/timing pushes based on unit comps a bit.

2. While technically, all of chess is micro. It is all army positioning.

3. There's a lot of this (Making a certain unit because you anticipate them making one, counter attacking because you anticipate them retreating, etc.)


Idk why you compare something turn based to a RTS in the first place. Chess and Starcraft does not have alot in common, there is no recourse management in chess for example.


Actually, in chess tournaments they have to manage time; take more time to do one move than another move.


That is managing time, say alot of the time a starcraft player have to manage time between when stim finishes and the time where he has an opportune windows to attack. Or deciding how much time to spend microing over macroing.

That is not recourse management

I just listened to state of the game for the first time( last 4 episodes) and I just want to say that it was amazing. InControl is fucking hilarious! Keep up the great work guys. I like it when you analyze match ups and the complaints section at the end is jokes. The guests are great, keep bringing in top players as guests, Huk was sick! I can't wait till the next episode/ MLG Dallas.

He made it sound like it extends beyond just EG's Starcraft team and instead something big for EG as a whole.

I'm guessing...

-Major Sponsorship
-A 'higher level' of organization such as a facility where players will train, possibly in combination with #1
-A documentary/webshow/tv show (lol at last one)
-An EG hosted gaming tour/LAN


Would be interesting if they actually created a HQ sorta like wemadeFOX does that houses several teams.

Absolutely NO clue what the announcement will be though, makes me anxious though to find out.

All the talks of a new sponsor confuse me, since they announce new sponsors all the time ie: intel mobos, thermal take, etc. When they acquired Loaded Gaming they grabbed new sponsors but it wasn't made into that big of a deal, so I'm wondering why it would get so hyped over that.

Wow that new logo is badass.

I know the first one is day but I can't tell who the other 3 are :\



yeah, totally forgot to update JP's glasses into that, fix inc.
Starcraft is like being the general manager and coach of the worst soccer team of all time. Unless you tell them EXACTLY what to do at any given time they will either stand around, run out of bounds, or die. - Defacer

From this week's episode.... StarCraft has much more in common with contemporary RTS games than chess. Heck, StarCraft 2 has more in common with the original CnC than chess.

I preferred people "talking over each other" to having a chat-room only guest.

My 2 cents.
Behavior is a function of its consequences.

that text chat only guest really didnt work at all. but great show otherwise! thanks for these!

Whoever said that thing about canadian currency, you know that we're essentially on par right? You're thinking of 2002 or something, before your economy crumbled to that banshee harass

Why do people always have to fucking make analogies about starcraft? We're on a fucking starcraft website. We all understand it and have some dedication to the game.

Know what Starcraft is like? It doesn't matter, because we already know what starcraft IS, so what it's like is irrelevant.

It's not a bad thing, it's a good technique to hook people into the game. I've heard positioning hockey compared to boxing out in basketball, same thing for clearing out space in football/basketball. It's a good thing (Martha Stewart accent)

Nice cast this week guys, it's becoming increasingly hard to listen to it at work because it's so hilarious / takes all my attention, lol ^^




Yeah, I had to stop. Now i just make a fool out of myself listening to it while walking home, going along streets sniggering and hollering like a crazy person.


Lol yeah my roommates think I'm crazy... too bad they don't understand SC. They'd probably find it kinda funny anyway though.

The new logo is like a Mona Lisa. Something isn't quite right...

Oh that's it, the guy on top looks like Day9 but the glasses are broken on the wrong side.

Seriously!!!! Who care's about the EG thing, when there's more pressure news.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=164014

This is going to change everything.

P.s. The EG thing is probably a tournament/league anyways.

Oh and another thing, someone needs to tell JP how to say Ottawa, that was pretty funny hearing him struggle to pronounce it. Has he seriously never heard of Ottawa?? Its weird how American's don't get much foreign information, I blame obama lol.

oh shit g2g my igloo if falling apart.

Question for JP: Whats the capital of Mexico?
