I don't think anybody is seriously upset about anything. It's just that people are casually talking about stuff that happened in the show, including bits they didn't like, or discussing a topic mentioned in the show, etc. Somebody takes it more seriously, somebody takes it less seriously, but in the end people just want to talk about stuff. It's part of this thing called popularity, and that's supposed to be a good thing. You can look at it like it's people complaining about people complaining about the show, OR you can look at it the normal way and call it discussion, because that's usually what conflicting opinions lead to (at least when they don't lead to a fistfight). I really don't like the comments about forums in the show either. The forums are kind of their entire audience, and it's also somewhat hypocritical given the post quality of you-know-who lately. =P | ||

from what i heard from oGs guys, oGsMC has really good standard play and good macro. but it's not enough for protoss. you have to learn good, fast timing attacks that hit around 7min-12 min mark too. now that he executes those well, he is winning. | ||

Now that's something I was wondering. Is there something inherent about Protosses design/make-up that makes "macro" play -- or basically trying to force a long game -- unrealistic? Because of all the races, Toss seems to have some of the craziest late game units. Is it the unit cost and tech tree just too expensive to risk a long game? | ||

I'm a Protoss player and I prefer macro games, but for me it feels very risky to do overly economical builds. Being agressive as Protoss actually feels more safe. I don't know exactly why, and would be happy if there was a trend towards more safe yet macro-oriented Protoss play. | ||

Actually, I'd say it's that most Protoss haven't learned to mix harass into their play, while Zerg and even more so Terran are abusing the hell out of harassment right now. Protoss definitely do have some amazing endgame units, and at that point there's really no excuse for not having the tech available for all of them. However, most Protoss players seem to get stuck around three bases. They don't feel comfortable expanding because their opponents are already abusing their lack of mobility with drops and air units, and they can't put their opponent on the defensive because of the Protoss "deathball" mentality; they're deadset on the stalker/sentry/colossus composition that needs to stay in a tight group to remain effective and lacks the speed to put on pressure while defending. I'd predict that once Protoss a) start diversifying their tech as soon as possible in midgame and b) abuse the mobility of small groups of upgraded warpgate units and warp prisms they'll feel much more comfortable in late game situations. In a not entirely unrelated note, Carrier/High Templar is amazing. | ||

I always associate Tester with heroic base defense and well-timed 2 or 3 base collossus balls. I'm wondering if there is a crazy protoss that goes 3 to 4 bases on a regular basis, and makes it work. | ||

He played an epic bo5 versus Drewbie yesterday. I can get you the replays when I get home; I'm on my phone now. A lot of people don't consider Mini on the same level as some of these other players, because his success is almost exclusively on ladder. That's a judgement call for you to make though. | ||

Incontrol overreacts to all the negative responses he gets on every cast, so if indeed this does happen I think their message is clear. it's just a podcast, if you don't like it, dont listen. that said, i bought a bottle of zin yesterday I can't even begin to imagine why some people are so opposed to the idea. I think a lot of you don't understand that someone can drink casually. I imagine our SoTG hosts will have a few drinks and then proceed with things as usual. They'll probably be a tad looser than usual, but good for them. They do work, it'll be fun to see them unwind. I seriously doubt that Nony will be fifteen shots deep, crying about his childhood as he vomits. It's going to be a pretty normal show. Maybe even better than normal. | ||

The funny thing is that I think a podcast is the best medium to get shit-face drunk on. What makes podcasts and radio unique is that you can get away with things you normally couldn't, because you're letting the listener fill in the blanks. For instance, hearing about Day9 eating a $1 hotdog and not wearing pants is funny. But if we saw it on video, it would probably be a little sad and depressing. Or another good example is the Howard Stern show. When you listen to it, it's can be hilarious, but if you watch any of their video, you realize it's just a bunch of sad old perverts watching someone's daughter ride a sybian. If the MLG Dallas Live on 3 was a podcast instead of a video stream, I think there would have been a lot less criticism of that episode. That's my theory, anyway. | ||

He knows what he is doing sure but everytime he comes up against someone really good on ladder he cant handle them, especially zergs. That's not true in the slightest. | ||

Record against Catz? He knows your style and beats it every single time :/ you yourself said it. You are a good player but your not flexible enough yet. Add machine to that list too | ||
