I've heard Stephano say that the issue with Thorzain isn't the quality of his play, but the fact that Thorzain is so rarely available for practice. How 'bout that ZvP balance claim though?

They would though. Nobody cares about random people on ladder, but I can assure you that if any of the popular streamers started calling people niggers there would be some drama.

Pros of episode 65:

- Stephano, the whole section
- Orb, nice character


Cons:

- first impression is that everything works bad. I get it. You are indie. It was fun the first 3 shows. Move on, and polish the aspect of the show. Give it a look that makes me happy to share it to my friends not ashamed. Make the sound work perfect at least if QXC has a camera that works with running hamsters inside it .

- no schedule that is respected, no infrastructure. It's not a show, it's just a skype talk. Catz had more professional/constructive discussions with destiny and chad motherfking jones than this last SOTG

- the invites don't seem to treat the show seriously. Everybody leaves when they want. Can't you prepare 90 minutes of your day to this show that gives you exposure?

- exactly like in casting you need a funny guy and an analytical guy. There was no funny guy. Not saying that inc has to be on every show, but make the invites so that they have good chemistry.

- we need an overlay that shows the topic that is discussed at that moment, and it needs to be updated real time. Just like in news with the headlines. This will give a more professional feeling, like they actually plan the topics and will help the ones that catch the middle of a discussion. Maybe even show the points that will be discussed in an overlay that pops up in the first minutes after the live stream starts and everyone is setting up. Just a list of the topics that will be covered in the episode.

- it was short. 90 minutes is a lot of entertainment but a LOT less than what SOTG is used to be. So comparing to what SOTG was, it is a short amount of air time.


This is my feedback hoping that this show will improve.

whenever people talk about the casual methods vs over analysing i always reply the same way. i remember roughly 6 months after launch all of the 'pros' had decided that 6 pooling was for noobs and only an idiot couldnt defend it after they see it coming, even if it gets in your base you just stomp it with workers.

then this guy named actionjesus came along and did ok exclusively 6pooling and other cheeses. made the people who were too busy examining 1 second timing differences to work on the basics look pretty silly.

this trend continues to this day. im not saying there isnt value in understanding timings, and the meta game and this and that, but so many people who play every month for large sum of money are still lacking in just basic 'make stuff, go attack, maybe do some micro gg'

as players improve, the number of people who are successful without these core skills down 100% continues to decrease, but people like to declare 6pooling 'done' or cheesing 'done', but then it always comes back, even as just a counterplay to expectation and makes people making sweeping statements look silly again.

to me thats exactly why SOTG is so good. Its just a discussion about sc2 among friends. Stop trying to make SOTG something its not. I don't give a shit about overlays and having the discussion topic on screen. I watch for the discussion and thats all. I remember when there was no video and the show was still excellent.
