I'm guessing he fell asleep since they had to record so late to accommodate InControl in korea. JP noted earlier in the thread that Sean stole away without fanfare to attend to his supper. | ||

Even just saying he has seen Socke do some interesting builds that work well would have been better. Of course this is a really pointless and dumb argument and I regret participating in it. | ||

 TesteR lost to 꼬마 (link to his bnet profile), who was tied with  Jinro for 124th on the Korean top 200 that was just released yesterday. 꼬마 also beat  RevivaL during the qualifiers, and eventually won his group. His interview is spoilered below, thanks to CanucksJC for translating it. Everybody should read it as it's quite hilarious.+ Show Spoiler + Q. How does it feel to advance? A. I think it was purely on luck. I'm worried that I might get knocked out in the round of 64 without showing much. I knew TSL_sSKS from the online game Chaos, and it was too bad that I ran into him in the first round. There was some lag at the start, that's probably why he lost. Q. How did you practice? A. I practiced daily for 12 hours without a clan. I think I learn better if someone gives me tips, so I want to try practicing in a team house. When I was 20, I played WC3 really hard and dreamed of becoming a progamer, but my parents disagreed and I went to the army. I think I have the talent to play games, so I think I can do well if I try really hard. Q. You sound like you played Chaos for a long time. A. I was a heavy Chaos user playing under the ROMANG clan. Q. Are you confident about the main event? A. If you play me in the round of 64, it'll be easy to get to the round of 32. I want to enjoy the games rather than to be obsessed over winning. Q. Do you have plans on being a progamer? A. I'm going to play games until the end of next year. If I don't get good results by then, I'm going to go to my hometown and start farming. Q. What is your goal this season? A. If I get Code A, I'm going to start believing in a religion. Q. Any comments? A. For my first game, I will personally write a cheerful saying 'Here, take it'. I stream my Chaos games on Afreeca and many people supported me, so big thanks to them. | ||

I would really like to have this type of a segment continue going forward especially since the podcast is "state of the game." But I'd understand if its really awkward to have a heated debate and then try to make nice for the rest of the podcast. (tho if its no problem with the other guests, go for it!) I think it may be better to have some defined arguments and specify one arguer. That way Tyler and iNcontroL can't just double-team the other poor guests. Even have people argue the "opposing" sides. ie have Nony argue FOR terran. But it was a fun podcast to listen to because of the arguing and I hope there's no hard feelings ala SelecT. | ||

Socke vs ServyOa - PvT by Huskystarcraft Of course some people are going to point out that Socke might have been able to pull that off simple because he outskilled his opponent, but nevertheless its an example of a transition out of Colossi after seeing 10+ Vikings on the field and some protosses might wanna refine that for their own purposes. | ||

I have utmost respect for Socke as a player and I think he's fricking amazing and madly talented, but until he starts winning tournaments of importance, its gonna be hard to actually say "Look at the builds socke does!! Oh but he doesnt actually win tournaments". I'd go as far as to say maybe if Socke had played a different race, he would probably be the best player in Europe right now, because I think his mechanics are insanely good and he has an excellent understanding of the game. Instead he's just an also-ran 4th place/5th place player because his race holds him back  .OT: Excellent episode this time, low on the humor factor though. Usually I'm laughing out loud when I listen to the cast but this one was a bit more subdued. Not necessarily a bad thing though. Also I hated how painuser's rebuttal to everything Tyler and Incontrol said was "You gotta figure it out, the race is fine". And then he didnt even bother to justify what he said. Its very hard to actually have a debate with someone who keeps saying the same thing again and again. | ||

I don't think he made a peep during that time though. He doesn't really like to get into balance debates. It's a topic with too many unknowns really. | ||

I think aside from going 4 gate builds protoss doesnt have many excuse to die to cloaked units than any other race. my opinion on TvP in general is they need to nerf marauders, nerf sentries, buff stalkers, nerf blink somehow to compensate and then buff siege tanks i think most of the SotG would agree here becasue all of them complain about marauders strengths and no tank variation from terrans. regardless i think it was an awesome SotG really proud of iNcontroL despite not qualifying. | ||

1) Doesn't look ass ugly (not a huge concern, but still) 2) Actually downloads, so people don't have to rehost  Great episode, as always! :D | ||
