I'm really looking forward to this. I love Apollo and qxc, they are both very smart and apollo actually plays random so I guess there will be alot less bias in the next episodes. Don't get me wrong, I always loved SotG, but it's good to see that balance or patch discussions won't be as one-sided as they were before. It especially makes the discussion more interesting because people might not agree all the time (4 protoss players discussing balance was fairly annoying because the general concensus pretty much always was that protoss is bad; regardless of wether or not it was true, it is just a really boring discussion when everyone agrees with eachother).

Shame indeed about Geoff. Will still watch, but maybe enjoy it a bit less.

My thoughts exactly. Lack of Incontrol (or Artosis & Day9..) isn't exactly what i wanted from the show. Apollo should be great though.

Maybe it will be State of the Game instead of State of the Drama now.
Excited!

Incontrol just derailed discussions and interrupted people most of the time. Can't say I'll miss him on the show.

If they were interrupted by Geoff they were probably talking a load of crap.

Only reason i watched state of the game was for the pillars, nony, incontrol, artosis and i've always felt the weakpoint was JP, don't know anything of pre sc2, sc2 knowledge pretty lacking and a below average host. If this is JP and friends then i guess that's that. Atleast i enjoyed quite a few episodes of this

Please, please, PLEASE do what you can to nail down NoNy and Artosis as mainstays of the show. I would tune in week to week if the show was the 5 original pillars talking about nothing for 2 hours because 95% of the reason I watched was the personalities, and the banter. With Incontrol gone and Day9 being unable to commit full time, I think having Artosis and Nony as pillars is more important than ever.

Won't comment on Incontrol's absence more than I'll miss him and I hope he returns in the future.

Very excited to have SOTG back. Nony and Artosis as returning hosts and hopefully two guests a week would be heavenly imo. ToD, qxc/Major and Apollo as first week guests is pretty sick.

Sad that Geoff wont be a host. I hope this is temporary and he comes back again when he feels the time is right. He really is an irreplaceable personality and the show wont be the same without him.

I'll still watch every episode and it should still be an awesome show! Glad it's back, even though this is a little bitter sweet for me

I couldn't disagree more. To me JP is SoTG :>. And here's to hoping Apollo becomes a regular!

Really sad that Geoff won't be on the show anymore, i'ts not gonna be the same without him. I really hope he changes his mind and comes back to the show in the future.

I'm still very excited for the show to be back. Nice to see that you at least got Nony and Artosis. And Qxc and Apollo are awesome too, so it's probably gonna be a great show.

Great JP! You have an awesome group there. It is the fresh blood this show needs and you could not have picked better. I think with this group the show will not only meet the quality of what SotG once was, it will surpass it!

Also, ignore the nay sayers, most people don't like change, but once this cast starts I think they will be pleasantly surprised. Also, yes, keep the trolls out of chat, who needs em!

Blatant attempt to get a rise out of incontrol, knowing that he reads the thread. People like you are the reason pros don't post much and get discouraged when they read community sites. Guess you don't care if your posts make this a worse place.
