On the subject of DT's; I know this sounds crazy but I wonder if during Heart of the Swarm they could be given the blink upgrade (like zeratul in the campaign). The comparison with banshees in the last cast got me thinking about how to improve them and make them less 'one-shot' - with blink they could get out of a sticky situation much easier in order to be salvaged for a later battle or for archons, and make them compare better with the 'flying dts with range' (not that they have to, but hey, it's theorycrafting).
Now I know you're thinking 'imba imba!' but in fact it doesn't even make them as good as banshees yet, seeing as you'd need vision if you were trying to get into someones main up a cliff, and there'd be a cooldown, and they're not ranged and you couldn't use them over the empty space blizzard like to put behind your base. i might email the question in for next round...
I agree that it is an interesting idea for the DT to have Blink, but perhaps on a rather short range. In PvT, I can imagine that a blinking DT could get out of a Scan a bit too fast. Either way, since Beta I have felt like the Dark Shrine is a really pointless building to require for DT's. Just make it the damn Templar Archives for both like BW.
Well if it were implemented then the blink upgrade at the citadel (yeah, whatever), would affect both stalkers and DT which I feel would make that part of the tech tree feel much less 'dead-end'.
Also, scan has a *huge* range so I'm not sure it would be so bad. Especially given the effectiveness of concussive shells and the cooldown on the ability.

I've listened to every State of the Game yet and I look forward to the new one each week. Keep up the good work guys! And people... let go of the drama for god's sake xD

Hey, just want to pop in and say that the podcast is great, but I'm really not digging the part where you guys go into huge lengths about discussing tournament brackets and talking about individual players and guessing how well they'll do. Honestly it's not very interesting at all and I'm sure many people will agree. It especially gets boring when JP starts going around the table asking everyone what they think of each specific player. Maybe keep that section but make it concise and don't spend an hour talking about it. Loved the balance discussion though, since we mortal folk can actually relate to it!
Otherwise, great podcast, keep it up!

Yeah I'm Indian myself and when they went on the Native American tangent I was like noooooo. Hopefully they read this and understand, because it sucks when people confuse Native Americans with Indians and vice versa. So yeah, make fun of Indians not Natives =D!

They record their shows on Tuesday nights now I believe. And Day9, Tyler are probably out of town for Dreamhack.

(Incontrol + JP) + idra or any players from root or any players from eg or haypro or jinro...

Totally second that. But I think they spent just the right amount of time on it.

I guess no SOTG this week?
or was it moved to Tuesday?

I dont think they should spend so much time on the tournament bracket discussino... maybe 5~7 minutes on it tops? it gets a lil dull.

Glad to see there will be sotg this week but too bad it's only JP and Geoff. I hope you can fill few spots but even with them two I'm sure the episode will be great ^^
