4) Cheese in pro games is not uncommon, often once in a bo5 its very exciting (see dimaga v kiwi 6 pool showmatch). However in gsl some players cheese all the time, do pros owe it to the audience to play "straight up" at the highest level most of the time? No-one is saying they shouldnt cheese occasionally but as a spectator sport the rarer the better.

5) This time next year will there be any blizzard maps in tournament rotation? If so what about this time 3 years from now? Does blizzards "say" in all tournaments now have a profound effect on this decision?

Questions:

1) Does SC2 Need Korea to stay alive in the long term? Do Western companies see the success of sc1 in Korea as a platform for sponsorship, and could less than adequate saturation have negative effects on NA/EU sponsorship.

2) What "seemingly" very simple change could break the game completely? The idea of the question is to pick something that seems very innocuous, like say "increase creep spreed time by 1 second" could actually break the meta game entirely. I cant think of one off the top of my head but since these guys play at the top top level it would be really interesting to hear their views. A fun question :D.

3) Does sc2 risk fragmenting its audience over the course over 2 expansions, especially considering how eager people are now to complain over balance. Do you think sections of the community will be fragmented over the "big" changes that will be introduced when there are already so many splits over the small ones? Could this seriously effect the competitive scene? And will tournaments exist for Wings of liberty sc2 and Heart of the swarm sc2?

I have more but i dont have too much time now :o ill post them later

This cast combines my two favourite things, Starcraft and laughing my ass off.

There is one thing that really sucks though and that is after I've listened to it I'm really sad because it's a whole week until the next SoTG
