Also why not ask Stephano about the current European scene in general, considering he is more involved within it than the other guests? Will be very interesting to see whether Tyler and Stephano meet at the Lone Star. Tyler seemed to be fishing for info about Stephano's weaknesses against Protoss. White-Ra has been getting crushed all week by Stephano, so maybe he could give some tips, or not! | ||

Just put online a free version of starcraft with shit as smartcast ( like auto-blink when 99% shield, auto lift for phoenix, auto strom, auto anything ) and the people playing it will just blow. The fact that you think LoL pros put not time into their game is astounding. Like...you actually believe that? That they don't play a large amount of games and think about strategy deeply? Sure, there isn't the grind of mechanics, but it isn't an RTSD, its a team-based MOBA, that doesn't mean they put no time into it. And really? Have you even played DOTA/LoL before? There aren't autocast spells. There are smart scast spells yes, but this is completely different. An auto-storm or auto lift would be awful and wouldn't help at all. | ||

And Phoenix with +2 is still shit lol Imagine if Idra was on the show when Stephano said that lol He probably would ve had a heart attack. | ||

Tyler must be pretty worried about Stephano given his recent form vs Protoss. He obviously watched the Stephano Showmatch against White-Ra. I think Tyler's best chance is a strategy incorporating some sort of moisturizer sabotage. LOL | ||

When you're whole personal stream revolves around telling people off and acting like a dick, you're going to get some hate back, whether its deserved or not, and people are going to be far less forgiving. Calling someone a dumb nigger is pretty out of bounds in pretty much every working and social environment, and harsh even by gaming standards. It would have been nice if at least one host mentioned that using nigger in a derogatory way (even if the person isn't black) is pretty offensive. I mean, it would be like calling JP out on his faggotty Jew audio. I kid, I kid. | ||

The best way to deal with racism in society is to simply stop talking about it. In modern society racism is pretty much dead outside of extremists. No one considers it a true problem anymore. Also LoL is worse than SC2 when it comes to language. Ugggghhhh so many things wrong with this statement. But whatever. | ||

I think you missed the obvious part. LoL is F2P. I could make 15 accounts in under 5 minutes, of which I could play a game on all of them and use every racial slur in the book. For me to do that on SC2, I have to be willing to risk my 60$ copy of SC2. F2P environment will always be a bit more vulgur and childish, simply because its free to play. | ||

Do you think HuK is racist when he tweeted "hey TB my nigga let me in that moon battles thing?" or whatever he said. Nope. Context. Etc. Again, for the millionth time, in the context that Orb used the word, the racism is at least implied. As you say yourself, it was intended as an insult, implying that you think black people are inferior. If he said it was a dumb White guy risk, or a dumb Jew risk, it would pretty insulting to White guys and Jews. | ||

Is it nicer than this community or is it vulgar and childish? You've said both and made an excuse for the LoL community when trying to tout it as nicer than the starcraft one. This may blow your mind: it's not the x game or y game community, this shit has been around since DWANGO, since Kali, since my buddy paul called me a fag nigger bitch for scout tower rushing him in warcraft 2 over fricken direct dialup. Stop with the x community versus y community, this is the gaming community as a whole. | ||

That was a bit messy but he did say that once you start investing on phoenix you can't do anything on ground execpt making zealot (I suppose he ment that the investment to comit to phoenix was enormous), which are shitty against Z. Or something like that. To bad Artosis wasnt there  (He didnt really said a buff, more like he feels that Protoss dont have the unit base that permits them a sufisient variety of playstyles. | ||

They were asking QXC and Tyler about Feast, when they have Stephano there who is a team-mate of Feast and has played against him before. Not asking Stephano to talk about Feast is possibly an oversight.

I think Millenium is still viewed as some small autarcic french team, and everyone forgets that they actually have some awesome players ... Slasher said earlier in Lo3 that Feast should look for a bigger team. I mean... Srsly? | ||

His advice might as well been, "Make stuff that makes sense when you need to. Then win!" | ||

And if you watch his stream, you can see that he's always trying aloooooooooot of things. When he started playing he was always doing some funky stuff, a bit like Grubby when he switched to SC2. | ||

Yeah it was funny how Day9 kept trying to analyze how stephano played and he basically said he builds some shit and wins, and also how he never looks at his replays either. | ||
