I genuinely enjoyed all of last nights show. Socke and Darkforce had me laughing for most of the time and of course Geoff trying to accommodate for the fact that there are two Germans on the show by showcasing one of the worst but funniest German accents I've ever heard.

Also, it was great you had QXC on the show again even though it was really weird to actually be able to see and hear him.

It disappoints me that the upper tier of the community (if that's what you want to call it) are falling to the lows of picking on eachother. If anything they should be setting an example on how to act; instead they choose to take little pot shots at eachother because it's popular within the cesspool section of the "community".

That said, I was pretty happy with the rest of the show.

Didnt like Socke too much this episode. Very generic answers and hard to undestand

Darkforce was fun though and he isn't afraid to speak his mind.

I hope LS makes it far
Tired of progaming teams picking up players off past results(esp in bw)
and having no show in SC2 while other people who are better than them are teamless.

Is he better than other people? Is he? I just don't know! That's the thing! I don't know what LS has done except release a few tut videos and things vlogs maybe. He hasn't palyed a TLPD tournament since a year ago, when he lost to tod and atterro and beat painuser and catz... not a disastrous performance, but not one that stacks up side-by-side with ret, parting and squirtle.
By.Sun or By.Rain, he always delivers

I would laugh hard if Lastshadow went far in the tournament.


I absolutely hope he does do well, but you have to look at it from the position of a progamer. Lets look at Socke for instance, i'm sure he would have loved the opportunity to be invited to that tournament, and he is a really strong player who competes a lot, and often interacts with the community, and yet lastshadow got invited. They get $500 just for turning up to the tournament.

Does it really seem fair on people like Socke that Lastshadow gets invited. Or Machine maybe? Or QXC? Or Morrow? All these are players who are much better known than lastshadow, and spend more time investing themselves in the community. They also, despite few big results, have better results than LS.

That is why people like Incontrol are pissed off. And they deserve to be, especially IF it is true that LS basically got invited because he is friends with Day9.


Day9 said LS was not invited because he is friends with him.


Nobody in their right mind would actually say "Yeah, I invited him because we're buddies. Got a problem?" whether or not it's true.

Hey guys.

Anyone noticed that part in the intro about people criticizing other people in e-sports for using e-sports money for food and housing but before that JP said he blew 800 bucks on strippers?

There you have it, e-sports ppl blow all e-sports cash on strippers not on food. The truth was revealed.

I liked Darkforce tbh, very honest and straight-up, and he thinks PvT is P favored . Also have to mention that I lolled pretty hard when QXC slammed his hand on the table and said - "NO!!, NO!!, NO!!, NO late game! I don't want any of it!" when they talked about T lategame. Geoff as usual just being godlike, I can't understand how anyone could dislike him. Most loveable person in E-Sports after White-Ra.

Fantastic episode, never really heard Darkforce talking too much before but he seems like a really cool, clever guy.
Still missed Artosis and Nony a bit though. I'd say Day[9] too but when's the last time he did one of these..
This show definitely needs guests though. Gets a bit stale if it's the same people week after week. This weeks edition reminded me of the original shows (like episode 10 to 30ish) that got me so hooked.

I agree that QXC added a lot to the show, speaking his mind and actually talking about strategies and the actual state of the game.

I also think it was really good having two europeans on the show, really added another perspective.

I don't follow the euro scene very much because I'm an ignorant america, but I really enjoy darkforce and i know he's a very good and smart player. Socke was pretty cool too, too bad about the tech difficulties. It's pretty funny that none of the europeans watch any of the events, maybe because the times are just so bad for them?

Really enjoyed this weeks show. Darkforce and Qxc made great guests. Pity Socke's mic was pretty muffled all episode though.

So thanks JP for the show.

QXC with his new mic was great. As day9 isn't around anymore anyhow, why not bring him on as a pillar?

What I am saying is it would be LESS bad fi the invite was qualifed as someone that would bring more eyes and has done things like compete in events, win some stuff or been around the community.

inviting a former cheater who has 0 accomlishments inside 2 years and doesn't actually participate in the community/events outside of making youtube videos IS a wasted invite.


I disagree, I for one is quite excited to see a foreigner who's lived in Korea for quite a while and is said to have a grandmaster account there. To quote was it Darkforce(?) from the show who said something like "if Soulkey is in Grandmaster league he should be able to do some damage in the open bracket (MLG)", well same goes for LS, if he is a grandmaster player in Korea he should be able to do some damage at the Red Bull Battlegrounds (his group is tough as shit though).

Also, a pull-factor is the fact that we know very little about him. He got 4th at MLG Raleigh 2010, which doesn't say much about his skill now of course, but it does tell you that he used to be on par with the best. It will intrigue me (and I'm sure a lot of other people) to see him play. He is an unknown with history and so it will be a cute storyline that say EGMachine or EmpireHappy wouldn't match, even though they probably are more deserving of the invite.

It's fine for you to disagree, not everyone can be correct.

This isn't the open bracket.. so far from it. The reason you fail to even enter into this discussion properly is not limited to but deserves recognition precisely because you cannot tell the difference between a 41k$ 16 man invite and the MLG open bracket.

It's an invite. It's not deserved or underserved. It's within the organizer's discretion. Ultimately, if it helps make the tournament more interesting it's good, if it doesn't it's not.

Day9 (somewhat cynically) said that the criticism for inviting lastshadow is good, because it created a storyline for the tournament. Maybe that's not entirely true. But still, the fact remains that a single bad invite in a 16 player tournament hardly matters at all.
