JP, I think you should consider uploading SotG episodes to Youtube . Youtube is currently removing the time limit restrictions for many users, even those without a partnership deal. Maybe you could write them and apply for having your restrictions removed.

It would get you a lot of hits, subscribers (for your other shows as well), and eventually certainly a partnership deal and thus a little $$$ for you to fund your community projects.

Plus people like me can then listen to state of the game on the fly via iPhone etc. (can't download audio files on it).

Pretty good interview but I don't like how he continually dodged Tyler's question about the prize money distribution. He basically asked the exact question I submitted to the podcast which was

Question for Sundance, I understand the thought behind making the championship the 50k first prize... obviously going for the "wow" factor. However don't you think the community would be better suited spreading out the prize money through all the events? You could still have the championship have a bigger prize but instead of 50k for one events first place and 5k for the rest you could award 25k for the 1st in the championship and 10k for the other events.


And sundance went off twice on tangents about sponsors and how he wants to do it but needs our help... which had nothing to do with differently distributing the already secured prize money.

I thought overall Sundance did a pretty great job with his interview. Definitely bits of it were CEO spiel, but it was nice how straight forward he was with us.

I do agree with Icon's statement that he didn't quite answer it directly. I'd guess it's because the sponsors by the package and they prefer that the finals be a "superbowl" finals like many other american sports models. Thus Sundance's hands were a little constrained as he wants 1 event to give everyone the big eyes and get them to come. Also, I'm sure he might have an eye on some koreans. If the mlg typical events are like a code a qualifier with a better prize pool, no doubt more than a few korean houses will be eying the MLG main event as a good chance to take home some good money with not overly much risk. (Expected values are pretty good).

are you guys serious, I really liked incontrol's casting on the select vs jinro series. He's a really funny guy with really funny stories + humour. He should definitely commentate more. TB is great too

Most definitely, Total Biscuit is hilarious, though his casting is definitely more on the light/funnier side and not as serious-face.

iNcontroL's casting is great as well, I love it when he casts with Gretorp for the GCPL.

The beginning of this episode was really great, I love hearin from that guy and it's good to know he's so close to the gamer community.

Incontrol, you have no logic lol. The thread you were going on about is a perfect example of why Artosis is the right person to be talking about balance and not some crass clown like yourself.

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=70545 -- Artosis put out a logical debate and plain and simple, got trolled. And now InControl is using the thread as an example of why Artosis shouldn't talk about balance. WHAT? You guys put forth no logic or reasoning to why Artosis shouldn't be talking about balance, you're acting like it's just obvious. It's not, their arguments are logical and if you want to counter them COUNTER THE ARGMENTS.

I will trust Artosis' opinion a million times before yours because he backs it up with logic and points instead of 'LOLOOOOL HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT AUDACITY IS SO THAT MAKES HIM BAD AT STARCRAFT'.

Man some people take themselves WAY too seriously.

You do know that iNcontroL and Artosis are friends right?

Do you also know that Artosis was one of the biggest balance whiners in BW?

On top of that I got to say both players are some of the smartest on the scene. I would not take either of their opinions over the other. Even thought iNcontroL plays like he's the dumb simple guy, he's scary smart when it comes to SC, and Artosis is just like a wiki on it.

Like I already stated, I don't care how good he is at starcraft. His arguments make no sense, and if there's any logic behind them at all he's always unwilling to share that logic with the rest of us. Instead he just makes fun of the guy. Yeah I understand it's all in good fun, but if you're going to try to convince people of something you can't just point at a guy, laugh and make fun of him for a completely unrelated topic, and then refer to a "balance QQ thread" that actually turns out to be a perfectly LOGICAL and QQ-FREE post (at least it was QQ free until InControl replied...)

Not like this is the first occurrence either. InControl needs to learn to communicate his logic better if anyone is expected to take him seriously.

So you're saying tea is really expensive in china?

...No I actually didn't say that or anything remotely similar.

All I'm saying is InControl is a shit arguer, and he loses, Artosis wins and has the right to talk about balance, and anyone who ridicules him for it without actually countering his specific points or making ANY compelling argument WHATSOEVER as to WHY he shouldn't be talking about balance just looks unintelligent.

Sigh nevermind man. I now remember why I hate this thread and don't visit it anymore. I'm just saying they are friends and one friend is making fun of another, who the hell cares? But alas go ahead and make much ado about nothing.

I think you're missing his point. Of course friends will shit talk each other into oblivion. He's saying incontrol is stupid to point to that thread as a reason to not trust Artosis on balance. As like he said Artosis had well thought out opinions and incontrol/nony trolled his ass into the ground. Nothin wrong with that at all. I love this show and I like incontrol but at least address this guys point...

The other guys point is that Artosis is trying to have a serious conversation, and friends don't make fun of friends in that case.

Yes, because a single forum post about something is much ado. So much more ado than LOLing and ridiculing for 10 minutes on a popular podcast.

Also the pre-show is awesome please keep that up. I think I could have been fired for all my laughter during incontrols asian/uk commentary switch off. jesus christ that was funny. I'd listen to a 2hr podcast of incontrol talking with an exaggerated asian accent i think.

- Really enjoyed the Sundance interview. I enjoy his honesty. I'll buy a t-shirt.
- Geoff was hilarious.
- I enjoyed Day9's comment about unusual or non-perfect unit combinations beating a better composition because of macro/other factors. Something I really like about BW.
- Shame the guys didn't see today's GTSL matches before the podcast. They were totally jjang.

In the thread iNcontroL and Tyler responded to Artosis saying, "because it is 50/50, it is not balanced" in an iNcontroL way, you obviously didn't read it
