I hear what Artosis said about Koreans staying in Korea because of sponsors but what about all the Koreans on foreign teams? I know some people have the attitude of "let the best win" but I would like to see Europeans play the European qualifier and NA playing NA. not just another Korean blood bath.

Nice Episode but two Americans discussing about Pizza was kind of painful. ;;;
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

Can anyone please tell me why JP invited Catz? I'm fairly new to ESports but Catz doesn't seem to have achieved much as a player, and his team doesn't have any big players that won a lot of tournaments. I don't want to insult anyone, I'm just curious why they don't invite more qualified players on the show.

They were talking about Pizza that was served in Korea, its relative. The quality scale only goes so high when you leave Europe, much like the skill level of SC2 outside of Korea.

Because he is popular and this is a show.

Would've loved to hear their opinion on gameheart, but I guess that has to wait till next week.

He also runs one of the few North American teams, that have some talented players. Catz is qualified to talk about a lot of stuff when it comes to the struggles of putting a team together and he has been putting in work for Root for years now.

Would also add that he has good experience from the NA side of things, knows about sponsor interactions / running a team.

SOTG isn't about getting the best players in the first place. You could have a show with JP/MVP/Parting/Life with their respective translators, but it would be boring as all hell. There needs to be some entertainment in there too so that the average viewer wants to watch a ~2 hour VOD of people talking.

I'd say Catz is pretty much the perfect guest, a funny/charismatic high GM player who also has the unique viewpoint of someone who manages a team. If anything I wish there were more people like Catz so that JP could invite them on the show.

Just wanted to say, JP you are doing a great job. I am loving the new regulars. Artosis/Moonglade. I never liked Catz, but I am warming up to him. ^_^ Keep up the great work!

i know it the balance episode was a couple episodes ago but its funny that the terran that was on, from root said mech is died or just really hard and in the first proleague match with flash and fantasy both going mech, i know flash loves his mech but the fact that fantasy who loves his drops going mech shows me its not died at all, any thoughts?? also great show keep it up

edit just to make sure i am in no way bashing the root player just wanted to see what ppl think of mech cause i love it its just really really hard right now for me atleast

I know Heromarine said in TvT mech is by far the best way to play but he doesn't feel experienced enough with it to use it yet.

the metagame has changed in a game that's been out for a month? No wai!!
and I never said it was dead. I said it was a lot more difficult to survive the first 10-12 minute drop aggression from a bio player but it was stronger obviously in the lategame with the addition of widow mines + hellbats. Both players were able to transition into mech safely because of both of their openers and didn't have to worry at all about early marine/marauder drops.

I'm sad no one brought up the April fools joke from Blizzard in the SotG.

They could have squeeze it in somewhere IMO.

Kudos to Blizzard for the April fools joke.

Anything David Kim, Dustin Browder, or SC2 developers getting made fun of is always fun to me (especially when they poke fun at themselves). I was actually a bit hyped when I saw "The Warhound is back!" on the SC2 window.

Nothing against Catz (I do like him) but I prefer someone like Theognis simply so we can have a Terran to discuss stuff with Artosis and Moonglade. And personally, Artosis + Moonglade is the entire reason I watch the show.

I just think having one of each race, in different regions is really good for the show. Brings up interesting discussions.

With regard to potential development of an "eSports hub"... keep in mind that MLG is a partner in the WCS, and MLG is headquartered in NYC and was trying to build a studio in Columbus, OH.

A hub SHOULD be in Cali, but keep in mind the above.

Also, incoming post from Enders in three... two...

Haven't watched the episode yet but why Cali? NYC is very accessible by everyone. Columbus would also be good because it is prolly cheaper to operate there. Either way travel will be expensive. And mlg Columbus events have been super awesome.


1). Cali has much better ping to Korea. 2) Most of the gaming press is in Cali. 3) Blizzard is in Cali. 4) Shorter flights to/from Korea.

NYC is dirty and expensive.

Columbus is boring.

your right you never said it was dead sorry for putting words in your mouth i just thought it was interesting that both players went mech,since from playing and watching everyone is going marine tank in tvt and bio mine in tvz. i should have worded my post better and also wanted to see if anyone else is having a hard time with mech like i am. and ty for replay pack they are so helpful also stream more plz lolz
