I agree so much, i thought the whole point of sotg was having people who knew alot about the game talk about the state of the game + a wild jp hosting. Cant see where slasher fits in.
Afaik JP was masters with random, imho that probably means he knows quite a bit about the game right?
I'm masters too, and I don't know shit
The people who know a lot about the game are people who win tournaments, thats it, and I suppose some GM players.

So Artosis doesn't know anything about the game?
Well i mean he doesn't really play SC2 :p
I guess you haven't been around for a while, have you? Streaming almost daily with commentary, getting lots of positive feedback because of it.
He might not play the game THAT much overall, because of casting and other life, but he sure as hell knows the game well enough. And like casting games daily, doesn't help you understand the game better and better..
Day9 leaving makes the most sense since he always seems to be missing shows or leaving early due to time constraints and I think he'd much rather talk about the actual game then all the gossip and drama that normally gets covered on State of the game.
I'd also like to see state of the game focus more on the actual game. I don't think it's the obligation of this podcast to cover every major tournament or piece of drama and act like the voice of the community. This was originally about important people in the scene giving insight on the game. Not saying they have to have a rigid format because there's a lot of good discussions and entertaining/informative rants that come out of the current style but i'd much rather get insight from the hosts on what strategies people are doing at the moment, how to counter them, what they thing will work in the future than have an hours worth of tournament predictions.

if he knew that much about the game he'd have been able to get above rank 600 in NA ladder.

You can know alot about the game but just don't have the mechanics to do it.

Yeah, i mean since he's not playing the on NA server anymore, he should totally be above top 600 there. Also he only is like top 450 on the korean server which is pretty bad. He really knows nothing about the game!
I am a fan of day9, but I hope he is the one leaving. He doesnt fit well with the dramahype model that sotg uses. He used to be the best pillar back when sotg actually discussed strategy properly (if they to discuss strategy now it just turns into protoss whining or trolling from geoff).

I agree that Day9 leaving is a good choice as well. As much as I love the guy his participation is too scattered to be a pillar of the show. However, Day9 still produces a ridiculous amount of content and his absence from SOTG is completely acceptable.
Regarding the content of the show, I would also like to hear more discussion of the metagame. I do still like hearing all of the discussions about tournaments, news etc. but I would appreciate a little more variety. As always I like the shows that are a little less formal and relaxed.
Nooooo, Day9 shouldn't leave I always enjoy the show alot more if he's on it He also gives great insights when they actually talk about strategy wich they should do alot more imo.

Can't wait for more SOTG!
Agreed, I love to see the show become a bit more of a "State of the Metagame". While it's nice to hear the pillars' opinions about who will go far in which tournaments, I'd much rather hear them discuss why people are no longer going 4 gate on Tal'Darim Altar, or the recent resurgence of mutalisk-based ZvP.

The problem is that they really would need a Terran player on the show if they are going to talk alot more about strategy.
