Real life sports can be pretty damn volatile too. It's just that most real life sports run group stages with more matches, which is exactly what I'm proposing by expanding the size of the groups. Having best of whatever series isn't the only way to limit random luck. | ||

I love the show, I love the hosts and I think most Europeans feel the same even though they might not agree with all your comments. Keep up the good work! Everybody says that Morrow only did great at IEM because of the reaper. That's not true. He won against Huk, TLO, Dimaga (most matches without abusing reapers if I remember correctly) and Idra. | ||

And JP, when is the best time for sending a question to you per eMail? Right before the Show, in the midst of two, right after? | ||

Right before the Show, in the midst of two, right after? During the week is fine. I don't pick out e-mails until about an hour or so before the show. | ||

Incontrol shouldnt feel obliged to go and look up 312 Go4SC2 cups to see who the "top" players in EU are in order to comment on them on a talk show. Most of the players he doesn't know about haven't done jack shit in any international tourney or major lan so I don't know what all this fuss is about. I'm really ashamed to be european on this site sometimes, some of you guys are SO STUCK UP AND TOUCHY | ||

Especially if you're gonna sit on podcast with thousands of listeners. I loved the show otherwise but this 'discussion' was just painful to listen to | ||

We can only unite around one thing, when an american opens his mouth and talks about europe!  | ||

His voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard and he sounds so afraid to say something wrong even when he is pretending to think hes right. I can hear in his vocal tone his fear of being proven wrong. And thats not something i like to say outloud because its a bit mean, but i just dont like it. Ive waited for SofTG every single time since it started, and was hugely entertained by all of them. Now suddenly there is Painuser making me not want to listen anymore. Thats all im saying. If they decide to keep him fine, its not my show. But when people, even if its just a few, are saying "hey this dude takes the shows level of humor and entertainment value and puts it in the dumpster" then maybe its worth at least posting here as feedback. Do what you want, but the dude annoyed me every time ive heard/seen him speak publicly. Its rare that i dont like someone in the SC "community" but i just dont like him. Thats all there is to it. To me his personality flaws and lack of insight to the game are a distraction during the cast. Id rather have a TLO soundbyte collection than painuser on the cast. As far as "clubbing" stories go, it just isnt interesting to hear some guy say he likes techno. I can take one look at that dude and tell he "likes techno". To spend time during a SC2 show to talk about it is not why i come here to DL this like a fiend every week. Am i crazy for feeling like a SC2 cast should be about SC2? There is so much going on right now that i dont think they could fit it all anyways. So wasting time on that is just not that great. On a side note if you are a dude trying to charm a girl, no matter what you are into, dont be scared to say "hell yeah i do ______". Chicks like a guy who is proud of his life and his interests. Maybe professional gaming isnt on par with being a fireman or whatever on a girls list but taking pride in what you do and doing it well is part of changing how people see things. So the next time youre at a "club" and some girl finds out youre a professional Starcraft player say "FUCK YEAH i play Starcraft professionally", call her Lisa even if her name is Michelle, and go dance with her best friend. There is no shame in playing this game professionally. People who dont get it (what a serious thing professional gaming is) need to change their mind about it, not the other way around. PainUser seems open minded and willing to learn stuff. He doesn't seem to have the need to defend himself that bad against Incontrols jokes (like when incontrol jokes about PainUsers interest in clubbing cause he wants to feel safe in his relationship). Incontrol and Idra är nice aswell but I actually think they show more insecurity than PainUser. PU just seems more open minded, or perhaps have less of a need to always be perfect in what he says. | ||

Ok Shakas why would anybody feel pity for Avilo at all? When all he does on these forums are rage about tvp being unwinnable and more so his tvz posts being unwinnable unless you all in. A lot of people think of him as a joke hence the "what is avilo doing wrong?" comment which wasn't even that bad to begin with... | ||
