Oh interesting that there's a Terran here in chat willing to discuss the actual state of the game with you, isn't that what this show is for? I'll discuss it in a more logical manner than your try hard attempts at being witty and batting the issue away. I'm willing to discuss the "STATE OF THE GAME" from a Terran perspective. No whine here, just offering logical discussion from a TErran perspective which you currently do not have on this show and keep shrugging off. You seem to be unwilling to have a terran perspective on this show, so yes, I'm calling you out. I'll add in the Terran two cents, otherwise be as condescending as you want, but this isn't a "State of the Game" without a Terran on it.
Get a Terran on, I'm willing, what's the problem? I don't see what qualifies you to be a Terran representative for talking balance Dude, he's on Team Legion. Any more explanation needed? Use stats. http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/1644_aviloLike his 30% winrate. Everything must look imbalanced to him. Funny that you bring up his winrate, because that makes him seem like an okay pick. IdraIncontrolTylerFunny how people throw around single, picked out percentages to make/'prove' their points 
Haha, nice.

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.

"hey guys, i wanna try and show the world that im not in fact scared of Incontrol or backing down. so instead of accepting his challenge and prove that my terran is in fact, better than his protoss, ill turn the tables and challenge him to an offrace!" yea... that will really show who is more skilled.... take your meds and go to bed dude... you're just making a fool of yourself. In a question of who is more suitable for discussing balance, I think playing mirror off races is a brilliant idea. bc Avilo, who wants to prove he can provide good commentary and discussion on Terran balance, wants to prove it, by winning a showmatch as protoss....riiiight Not only would it be a more interesting novelty match, but if Avilo wants to speak to the TvP MU, what better way to establish his credibility by simultaneously showing he understands Protoss better than his opponent understands Terran?
As I see it, that's exactly the point avilo is making here.

I also just asked that we bring you in and they said no...
you really are barking up the wrong tree. Your call geoff, I simply want a pleasant conversation and a Terran perspective on SOTG. I'm willing to get on the call. I can't tell if you are reading the posts you quote or not. I literally just said it IS NOT MY CALL. LITERALLY. I think you're afraid having me on would break the negative persona you guys perpetuate of me on your show. Seriously, i'm offering intelligent conversation from a T perspective, I called you guys out. Sorry, but even from a Terran perspective your claims and ideas are not intelligent. I think you just need to accept that your ideas are quite different from even most other Terrans and I think most would be unsatisfied with you being the representative of Terran on SotG. Personal grudge much poke? Downtalk someone else, I offered intelligent conversation from a T perspective, they declined. You wouldn't know though, because they gave me no chance to talk about the current T issues/metagame, etc. That was sort of the point right? They can just perpetuate "oh he's just that whiner" if they don't let me talk. Sort of like you are right now right pokebunny? I have no personal grudge with you. 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.

Kind of an off-putting episode since TvZ was glossed over so quickly, and as unfortunate as it is to say this, I don't believe any of the members on the show were qualified, or wanted, to talk about Terran. 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).

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.

omg totally forgot IdrA played Symbol in GOM Classic...

SOTG is extremely entertaining. While I'm sure a Terran player could only add depth to the show, I don't think it is as important as most people are claiming. 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.

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.

avilo you rancid fuck lol. My terran is horrible. If you are going to dodge just say so and stop being a dumb ass about it. But if you are really scared of my protoss I will accept the challenge and play you with my zerg.. you can go terran if you like

Every time terrans do poorly in consecutive events this seems to happen.
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.

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.

Get Avilo on the show already, or at least another competent Terran...
