People listen to get these people's opinions in the position they are, if the guys aren't in touch with the map making community or the Korean Weekly then I don't really see that as a problem with the show. It's just the truth, these people in these positions have little to no reason to know about these things and they discussed the subject to their best knowledge. | ||

"we don't want strategy questions" I read a little bit of the thread after last weeks show and there were a ton of people complaining about strategy call-ins, how they'd rather hear about the panelists discussion on what can only be described as "drama" subjects: Player Transfers, etc, etc. Now, as a panelist type show, I can absolutely see the value in some of these discussions and wouldn't want to see less of them, but I'm super disappointed in this community about how little they want to hear about the actual game. Perhaps it's a pet peeve of mine, but it makes me so depressed when I log into TL and see an epic ass post about some strategy or player's play get very few views/replies and then next to it see the next generic "Is X hurting esports?" or other "drama" thread get easily 10x the amount of attention. I just feel like a large part of this community doesn't actually care about starcraft as a game, they just care about the drama around SC2 or they care about the caster more than what they're casting. I feel like the majority of the fans of SC2 would rather see a boring game between 2 platinum players commentated by Day9 than a brilliant game between some of the best players in the world commentated by some OK casters. I'm not trying to downplay the role of casters in creating excitement of the game or hate on people who don't know a lot about the game, etc. I just hope some people reevaluate and start to really watch Starcraft for the games. Even if you don't play, I just don't understand why you'd rather hear an in-depth discussion about some player transferring teams than NonY, one of the best minds in Starcraft talk about some new protoss strategy or the subtlety of X protoss player's decision making in an important match. The first caller today said something along the lines of "why would I ask some of the best minds in esports about strategy?" and my heart broke. Why would you NOT ask some of the best minds in esports about strategy? If all you want to hear is people talking about the drama around the game, there are people who just watch a lot of starcraft who are charismatic more qualified to speak on the subject more than most of the hosts. Once again, I'm not saying that the questions about esports and stuff are bad. They are informative and often entertaining. For my part, though, most of the reason I listen to these types of things is that I want to hear some of the best minds in Starcraft talk about the game. I would SO much rather hear iNcontroL and NonY talk about their thoughts on some brilliant game by HerO than them talking about how some event admin didn't act completely professionally or some other random subject that actually doesn't have a damn thing to do with the game. I just don't understand why people hate to hear about the game so much. If all you care about is the "drama", go pick up a copy of TMZ and you'll be in heaven. I loved all the discussion around the NaNiwa incident not too long ago because NaNi played brilliantly against one of my favorite zerg player's, nestea and won, then refused to play the "rematch" game. I cared about that topic because of how NaNi played so well and how the topic effected the ethics of Starcraft. Similarly I give a fuck about what Day9 has to say about things because he had some of the best builds and most brilliant hive tech play around. I care about IdrA drama because of his brilliant timings and mechanics; I care about NonY's slump because he had some of the best timing attacks and strategies around, etc. I'm sorry for the rant, but it's so depressing sometimes to hear about how little people care about the actual game. I like the drama too, but I would hope some people reevaluate and start to appreciate the game at least as much as the drama around it. Good show otherwise, can't wait for the next one | ||
