EPTHere's my problem, and, I'm not trying to start a huge public burning or anything, I'm just really disappointed. Why is it so okay for Idra and Geoff to consistently make massive troll assholes out of themselves all the time? Geoff hosts and interviews and coaches and does a lot of other stuff. And it's awesome that he does that, because when he feels like being a nice guy he's a really awesome guy. But being an awesome guy when you feel like it doesn't excuse being a complete disrespectful bully sarcastic troll. I genuinely just don't understand anymore.

I think he's a man because he stayed by what he felt instead of putting on a fake smile to talk with someone he didn't expect to talk with / clearly did not want to talk with just to appease people such as yourself. He also let avilo speak after avilo criticized idra for interrupting, then what did avilo do right after? Interrupt and condescendingly keeps saying Idra agrees yet Idra was saying something completely different than what Avilo thought. If I was in idras position, I probably would have told him at that point to stfu as well. I don't think being a "man" is taking down someone else because you think they're not making a good argument. That's called being a child, in my books. I spend a lot of time debating with creationists and bigots, both of whom I think are incredibly ignorant, but I would never dream of insulting them personally, and definitely not to the degree that Idra did. | ||

Seriously, this has to stop one day please? Can't we all be happy SOTG actually talked about the State of the GAME and not the state of the pro-circuit? | ||

It's a bit tough to bring new points into the discussion as i'm sure QXC probably already brought up most things earlier on in the show, it's also tough when I can hear their condescending laughing in the background as I try to speak, along with putting up a random picture of me like they did to try to get "more laughs." oh wells. I appreciate being brought on regardless, it would have been nice to have some input during the first TvZ discussion they had earlier on, where the points would have been fresh and I could have added more. I appreciate that QXC is a baller with class and didn't treat me like dirt beneath his feet, and that nony was at least neutral. If SotG played by the TL forum rules you'd be banned for martyring. I'm sorry people giving you a chance to express yourself despite your own best efforts to antagonize them in the past didn't go quite as smoothly as you hoped, and I'm further sorry that no one else seems to recognize your own brilliance. I'm further sorry that there seems to be some confusion of reality going on between your account and JP's account. But that's ok. You keep on keepin' on, you brave little soldier. | ||

You have an opinion / idea of what happened that is already plainly obviously different to the real way events unfolded, therefore I think it's safe to say that your opinion of being a man is probably going to differ from the majority's. Thanks for your definition | ||

At least Idra never wanted the whole thing to happen in the first place, I wouldn't call Idra a bully, he can be rude and blunt but he doesnt intentionally create situations like this | ||

You know when you look at only Semis and finals (with only 4 players in each and 3 races existing) you can see some pretty uncharacteristic perspectives. I'm sure if you go back to early Release Zerg would look like T does there, and if you back to 2011 during the Sad Zealot days, Protoss would look similar again. | ||

Luckily I didn't say that. Also you know the people you debate? Yeah, I doubt both people in your argument have a history of loathing each other and were forced to speak right? Yeah, thats right. | ||

Thanks for your definition ???? A lot of people disagree with me, and a lot of people disagree with you. My view of what being a "man" is (although I would never phrase it in such retardedly macho terms) has nothing to do with SotG. | ||

I know Symbol did and Symbol has just been crushing in GSTL (kind of like DRG did before he became a really big name like now). Symbol is also really starting to prove himself as an outlier as he is becoming more and more a tier 1 personality with the likes of DRG/MVP. The dude is seriously shedding some new light and showing how Zerg can be played in an entirely different and very effective way. People are so quick to throw out the GSTL Z win rates whenever they argue about balance and all that, but the fact that Symbol alone is the large makeup of many of those numbers needs to be taken into consideration. He's not just some other Zerg at this point in time. | ||

You showed alot of character going on the show, even if it was just to get trolled. You have character they obviously don't have. Chin up man. | ||

Thanks for that, I understand I bit more about it haha. the biggest thing terrans are taking about is the queen range. maybe they should bring it down to 3, but, im not sure that would solve the underlying problem, or this 6 queen business, i think the buff opened a new way to play, so regardless of if the revert it, im not so sure terrans have it much easier if at all | ||

Avilo tried to get his point across..

Then JP disrespectfully disconects avilo from the call.. I mean he could've atleast said im gonna break you off as it's turning into a mess but no instead just does this I mean think about what Avilo is thinking right now.. I mean the guy goes onto a show under pressure put on the spot having to talk to crybaby IdrA and then getting cut off is just rude and disrespectful I'm glad we watched the same show about 4 pages back is the correct description of what happened. Incontrol funnily enough was silent, JP opened a screamer. And no everything was not going fine, if you think it was you clearly haven't seen a discussion / debate ever in your life. | ||

Avilo asked Idra to let him finish when he was speaking, which Idra then did, and then when Idra speaks Avilo basically cuts him off, saying he agrees and twisting Idra's words into his own favour. Then he repeats his flawed arguments, and Idra gets pissed and shuts him down. JP Finally understands that he fucked up and has to do something and cuts Avilo off. Basically it was poorly handeled by everyone, but most of all JP and Incontrol I think | ||
