Well, I like how they tried to give ViBE some credit for winning WCS, and how it's really not mentioned anywhere at all strangely. but if IdrA had won it, rest a sure it would have been all over the interwebz ^^. | ||

As I see it, that's exactly the point avilo is making here. | ||

I just read your frequent comments on forums and every time I do it makes me feel like you don't really know about the issues that most terrans are facing. And you would know terran's current issues? Would you agree with pro's like Mvp and DRG about state of the game? We would need someone who is not afraid to call things out as they are to represent the terrans. Not a happy nodding face. Especially not now. | ||

The point of the entire discussion shouldn't be talking about the queen change, it should be about how Terrans are supposed to play late game vs zerg. It's fucking weak as shit and nothing in HOTS is being introduced to address this problem outside of making battlecruisers faster LOL | ||

It's kind of frustrating as a Terran player to consistently hear their viewpoints the least on SotG. This is while I'm a huge fan of the show and have listened since the first few episodes. The point of the entire discussion shouldn't be talking about the queen change, it should be about how Terrans are supposed to play late game vs zerg. It's fucking weak as shit and nothing in HOTS is being introduced to address this problem outside of making battlecruisers faster LOL the terrans need to play better doesn't address the problem, because it implies that the problem is actually on the terran end and something terran can fix. the actual issue is simply that creep takes too fucking long to go away. the queen shit can all be dealt with; creep spread can be controlled, and will be controlled more as terran learn to deal with it and adjust, and we'll find ways to get around or plow through the queens to make our early aggression stronger again...but the simple fact that creep spread is insanely fast with three queens doing it, but then takes a fucking eternity to go away isn't something that TERRAN can fix, because it's not a terran problem. it's an issue where blizzard assumed queens would be spreading creep with 1-2 tumors and balanced EVERY movement related thing zerg do around that, and now that's not what people are doing. it's similar to how kadrian (whatever spelling) was designed to warp in templar for emergency defense storms and it turned out that people were more creative than blizzard (and that it was fucking strong anyway). | ||

So instead he got Azael to discuss GESL and give some light to a different personality in the community.. one barely exposed. We discussed SC2 which includes terran and we will continue to discuss things like casting (when some of us aren't casters) tourneys (when some of us don't run tourneys) politics, business etc etc even if we aren't directly involved or expertly informed! Everyone on that show is more than qualified to discuss the terran race and all the others.. certainly more so than 99.99999999% of you so I don't think you need to worry about us falling short of your terran knowledge or something. But even if none of that compells you.. pull the stick out of your ass. This show NEVER had a balance in races played by the hosts. WISE THE FUCK UP or simply SHUT THE FUCK UP. Either one.. being upset at SOTG because of this particular issue at this point.. 2 years after it has been running makes you look REALLY dumb. Incontrol you lost to a diamond protoss (who was off-racing zerg) while trying to off-race as terran on your stream. Don't tell me you know more about T than masters/GM terrans who are plenty on these forums. | ||

Being dismissive about "bad Terrans" getting undeserved wins has been done with every race, though I remember much less with zerg in the past than protoss. idra and artosis are preeeetttyy biased. my go to point after todays show will be MVP used as an example of terran's current balance when IdrA (and any other z player) never allowed things like Nestea winning or Fruit Dealer's win in the waaay back to be evidence of anything. that being said, who cares. this isn't some internal balance meeting, it's a show that exists for entertainment. they don't need to represent every side in every episode. imagine if a terran was on and he agreed with them! that would make it even worse haha. | ||

Do some people really need to hear a terran pro to come on sotg and say "shits imbalanced yo"? Because that's clearly what a lot of terrans are feeling right now. Half the SC2 forum is already dedicated to this issue. I don't think the show needs to be a place for whichever race is currently feeling underpowered to went their frustration. Terran don't have much representation on SoTG, hell most of the time it's all protoss. Incontrol, Tyler and Artosis are all capable of analyzing the game from any perspective. They are the hosts of this particular show and none of them play terran. If you need to have a terran on the show to enjoy it then you probably aren't going to like SoTG most of the time. | ||

My WCS result over you already proves who is better, and I am willing to prove it again. I challenge you to a bo5, my conditions are that I play as Protoss and you play as Terran for the entire series. We each put up $50.00, and we both must stream the entire bo5. MLG 2012 map pool from most recent MLG. Lol... You first started bragging about placing over Geoff at WCS, implying that you were better because of that one result. Then he brings it up and you're all like "Ohhh I never actually said I am better though!" And now you are just going back to it, taking so much pride in not getting far in a tournament, but happening to get one place further than him (having played different opponents). Okay... In any event, you are dodging if you are trying to get him to off race, especially when his off race is zerg. | ||
