Geoff patronizing and Idra insulting Avilo is uncomfortable to watch. Idra is slightly better than Avilo, Geoff is about the same skill. They need to stop being childish.

JP smirking and squirming in the background is very, very annoying.

Those three need to take a lesson in professionalism from Nony and QXC.


Dude... it's SOTG. They are just trying to have some fun while providing entertainment.

...or maybe we should talk about how they are dressed too casually to present the show with professionalism?


Professionalism isn't about wearing suits. It's about controlling yourself and treating everyone with respect.


Also, nothing about that conversation was fun to watch.



I personally loved the patronizing, insulting and childish behavior.

so I'll continue to watch the show

you can stop if you want. no one is stopping you

Like JP had a choice, the show was going to hell, and its not like he was going to hang up on Idra to keep Avilo on the show... use your brain.

Sure I can! I didn't ask for this madness, so my annoyed-ness coupon is retained.

Not going to use my annoyedness coupon because, of course, it's just a show - a free one, at that. Still, I could use it if I wanted to. It doesn't expire until October 29th, so I'm going to hold onto it.

It was a stupid decision to bring him on. That's the only way it was going to end. Avilo is not the sort who would back down, he has been riding the Terran whine train since the beta. This was never going to be a debate or even a discussion, no ground could be gained, IdrA realizes this so just blows him off. That's the only resolution we were ever going to get.

Really poor of JP to bring him on, absolutely no reason for it. You have QXC right there, what can Avilo bring that he can't?


JP just did it for the entertainment value, you seriously think anyone actually values his opinion on the SOTG cast? They're constantly making fun of him for his non-stop whining since the beta.

I didn't like it though, bad call from JP.

SOTG is basically the popular kids club, which makes sense since it is a talk show. I like all of them, and i like listening to them talk/joke/discuss things, but they definitely(besides tyler and qxc, on this episode) are very self important. This makes sense since they are the hosts of the most popular talk show about starcraft 2, and have been for 2 years(roughly).

Idra makes fun of avilo and calls him bad and says that this is why his opinion is unimportant, but you could make the same case that MMA thinks the matchup has a problem and what Idra says doesn't matte b/c idra is considerably worse than MMA. This is not a perfect analogy, but its basically an example of discrediting an idea b/c of the source, which is not a great idea.

Not to say that Avilo wasn't being an idiot on the forums last show, and he wasn't making good arguments, but it was just kind of stupid to watch and made idra look like an ass. Although that is probably what a lot of people tune in to see.

Avilo owned Idra in that debate and made him look like a kid haha. He had some serious points and was a better man....... idra turned to personal attacks, then swearing, then said he doesnt want to talk haha......


- avilo didn't debate, he twisted words, made up statistics, came too conclusions without thinking them through.

- the only reason it seemed like avilo as being bullied was because he played the victim role form the start. he didn't take the oppertunity to have a decent debate about the balance of tvz, he used false truths and absically said tvz is unbalanced and he said idra agreed near the end.

with such a debating partner, I wouldn't have kept a cool face for 2 minutes. that wasn't a debate, it was a grolified whine.

avilo was debating much more rationally than idra ever was. He actually lets idra finishes talking unlike certain mad baby that loves to interrupt people and call people bad when he has NO RESULTS

just because you can't fully grasp his points doesn't make it invalid. Sure, he overexaggerates, but many of his points are what terran feels right now

Idra ended up arguing ad hominem while the cluless bandwagon furiously masturbated to idras greatness. I love the starcraft community, nobody seems to care about the actual game.

Idra going ad hom, Avilo going strawman, no one really tried to debate except QXC. What can you take away from that?

Putting words in someone else's mouth so you can agree with them is not being rational.

and since when did a terrible player such as Idra start telling terrans how to play? That is retarded, dude should learn to play zerg and then get back.

Yea this is what baffles me the most..... that idra thinks hes much better or relevant than avilo when it comes to sc2 talent.... Idra is a PR guy.

We should probably just ignore the whole Avilo being brought on thing, they were never going to take him seriously and it was a bad idea from the start. Focus on the qxc/Idra conversation, that was actually a very good balance discussion, and I really hope to see some more theorycrafting from both Terrans and Zergs in the coming weeks.

On a side note, stream chats are pretty much the worst thing ever created. Yikes.

JP is the Jerry Springer of the Starcraft community. SOTG is only a fraction of intelligent conversation EVER so not sure why people were surprised about it. The ONLY reason that guy was brought on was because JP knew Idra would trash talk him, there was a 0% chance it would be a worthwhile discussion and that was known ahead of time. That's just a fact about the show, if you're watching SOTG for rational balance debate you're very very misplaced.

I agree with this soo much... Bring up a person on the show, put on a ridiculous picture up of him and cut him off in the middle of an argument just because idra was pissed..... So unproffesional.


Where was all this rage when JP put up the fat bouncy cat gif of iNcontrol, or his WCG dancing gif?


selective bashing against community figures, no problem when Avilo made a comment about IdrA acting high and mighty even though he was making a legitimate point that foreign terrans are bad compared to korean terrans


It's hilarious how they adjusted to the queen build and then Z has adjusted to their adjustment. All of this before a single foreign Terran could figure out how to beat the queen build.
MLG: How is your Protoss? Idra: I make Blink Stalkers, so really, really good.

Idra saying foreign Terrans suck compared to Korean Terrans...when he sucks compared to foreign Zergs as well. What's the relevance? Koreans aren't exactly doing well; hell, most of them have said in interviews that the matchup is imbalanced.

Avilo was trying to make a point, but he wanted to say too many things at the same time and it came out weird, his idea was good, but didn't put it out the way he should.

IdrA being IdrA of course, so, he just shitted on him because he did not want to respond to his arguments rather than just sticking to his arguments that Avilo tried to prove why they are "kind-of" wrong.
