Well, I disagree. I think we need 5 more Protoss players on this show, conservatively. Maybe 7 or 8 more. | ||

I agree that it's not ideal. But considering that he's coming on the show immediately after finishing his daily (which requires preparation), I think it's a fair compromise when the alternative is not having him on the show at all. I think he brings a lot to the show and because of that, I can live with something being less than ideal. (In related news, Day9 eats a lot of pizza...!)  | ||

It's not like he was snarfing it down while trying to talk, whenever he had something he said it and then continued on eating. | ||

On a SOTG related note... you guys gotta keep including those hilarious stories like the Special Tactics.  I love those kinds of things. | ||

Im so glad you guys seem largely unaffected by the idiocy of the vocal minority, and I hope you know that the huuuge silent majority greatly admire and respect the work you guys do for the community. | ||

I heard in another thread that oGsNada was the only player to take the offer, and he went over to the oGs house to play. He doesn't usually live with oGs; he lives on his own. I can't confirm it with a reliable source, just something I heard that sounds true. I STRONGLY agree with what the cast was aluding to about the community rating players. We really need to lose this attitude in the community where 1-4 games of a player defines the community's attitude towards them. In a Best of 100, CombatEX could probably take ONE game off of oGsMC. If that happened to be the ONE game he played against MC in a Bo1 or team league format, I assure you the forums would have 100 topics like: * "Combat-EX best protoss now" * "Combat-EX seriously underrated" * "StarCraft 2 is an extremely volatile game" * "Why SC2 shouldn't be an esport" * "oGsMC crazy overrated" * "Proof that PvP is a horrible matchup" * "Blizzard can't design games, greedy bastards controlled by Activision" * "Why BW is better" Then, the community doesn't even consider matchups any more. It's "IdrA is a great player" or "IdrA is a horrible, overrated player". There is never a "IdrA's TvZ is awesome, but his ZvP feels weak at times" amongst the general population. I feel like most of the community that came in during the SC2 era doesn't seem to understand that matchups and consistency are absolutely critical qualities of a good player. A handful of games tells you next to nothing about the player. 5-10 games tells you more, but you really want to see a lot of games before you can conclusively say "Man, this guy is amazing/great/good/decent/bad/terrible at X matchup". I applaud and respect the people who do understand this, but they seem to be a rarity now. | ||
