If the NASL is open to everybody, it would be nonsense to not allow koreans in.

There should be no discussion about it.

At a live event you do the show for the crowd. That is the entire point of doing a live event.

Don't worry, you still have 51 other weeks in the year when they will have their normal format.

Very good, you only quoted a part of my post, neglecting the part where I state that it could have been good if the questions asked had been any good.

I don't see any PAX panels pre-screening their Q&A questions. Sometimes you get good ones. Sometimes you get bad ones. It is up to the panel to handle it.

Also everyone has their own opinion what questions are good and bad. You have indicated you didn't not like the questions. I liked a couple of them. You can't please everyone.

I have missed the show for the last couple of weeks because the VOD is so hard to get to.. It takes about 2 hours for me to download the 50mb file with a 50/50 mbit connection..

I really enjoy the show JP, it's a shame that people like me have to have such a hard time getting to your content

how are people still talking about dt vs banshee? it seems pretty clear that:

dt rush is autoloss vs raven builds (which are pretty common)
anything without a robotics (4 gate, whatever) automatically loses to a cloak opening

i can't think of any situation where a dt rush would give me an automatic win in the same way that a cloak rush does, the only thing close is some sort marine/tank or marine/thor allin where they only have one oc but no raven. you can't really go dts against this because it could easily be a raven rush from a scouting perspective at the time you have to go dt.

anyone who can't see how much more resilient the terran race is to cloaked stuff is of questionable intelligence.

That's the problem with not having a player who plays on the European server as a host/guest, they don't know how good the European players are. It's pretty hard to talk about TSL if you don't know 1/4 of the players.

Idra is starting to play on the European server, so I still have some hope that it will change, but Idra is also a guy who calls 99% of his opponents bad ...

An example from the German podcast with HasuObs, Socke, Darkforce, Insolence and Delphi:
Of course they didn't know how strong Fruitdealer is, but they said that Thorzain definitely has chances to win his match. Darkforce said that Thorzain has a strong TvZ and Socke mentioned that Thorzain declined to play against him because he wanted to concentrate on TvZ until his TSL match is over (this shows that he was really well prepared). That was really much more interesting than hearing about sunrise/tomatoes and the Tyler vs Fruitdealer match.

(I really hope that Idra can fill the gap, so SOTG will be more awesome, but he can only talk about the zerg matchups)

This just in from JP's Twitter.

A great disturbance was felt across the land, followed by a quiet calm, and then loud cheering SC2, I'm yours again



Three cheers for JP. Hip Hip Hooray!

I think the only European that'd be worth bringing onto the show full time would be Jinro but he's way too busy for that I'd imagine.

I think thats actually a really cool idea for a State of the Game guest, and I don't see why he can't be on State of the Game because of his arm problems.

Maybe its because hes European
