Americans still underestimating europeans? TLO took a map of Nada and Kas is like twice as good as TLO at the moment. Also Adel.Scott is a lot better than what QXC has shown lately. its cuz kas hasnt participated in any international events, so NA hasn't been exposed to him at all except through word of mouth that hes insanely good. But yeh, apparently kas is a monster and might even be a favorite against nada :S | ||

Ok Day[9], why don't you show us your revolutionary Zerg openings and midgame transitions that none of the pros have figured out yet and that actually work above silver league? As for Tyler I don't know what kind of chill pipe he's smoking but honestly talking about the refinement of protoss play when the whole race is mostly based on warpgate timing attacks negating defender's advantage then turtling into deathball in some way shape or form and all of this with very minimal risk is a little funny to me. Maybe I'm missing something but atm Protoss is definitely the race I find the most boring to watch, mirror or not. Why is that? Because it's where the least risk is involved, except maybe when it comes to mirror BO losses. I feel both Zerg and Terran have to work harder for most of their wins atm. Protoss never looks like it's really endangered unless their opponent is outplaying them significantly. And yes Tyler, Zerg players will tend do make more mistakes when there is about a hundred forms of pressure and timing attacks they can insta-lose to and need different responses to. I know it's something that seems very hard to grasp when you play a race that can safely pressure expand and tech at the same time and not really get punished for it, but it's pretty obvious to most everyone else. The bottom line is, no matter how much sugarcoating Day[9] or Tyler do, I know thanks to my Xray vision that when Day[9] spawns as Zerg, he knows just like any semi-competent player who picks random just for shits and giggles that he's got an uphill battle ahead of him. Unless he's dropped in bronze lately... but if he's in diamond or anywhere above, he knows just as well as Idra the amount of pressure, allins and other fun stuff he has to deal with in order to get into the midgame on equal footing. When it comes to MLG it's obvious Day[9] and JP don't really want to talk about it because it doesn't really look good to stir up drama for people who are your employers once in a while? As for how to handle it, someone else put it pretty well: if you have to lie / sugarcoat, do it by omission, aka just don't comment too much on it and move on. But going out of your way to say it's not really MLG's fault, that's just overdoing it. Not like they've had major stream issues in the past right? Yeah, ok. How many times are we going to make excuses for them? 2,3,4 more tournaments down the line? When does it stop being ok that a major player like MLG can't get their shit together? I don't know, but not early enough apparently. In any case, it's definitely refreshing to hear IdrA in the middle of a lot of political correctness, both when it comes to balance discussions and MLG.

On April 06 2011 21:55 The KY wrote: They're there to give a unique perspective, and that perspective was that the problems were mostly outside of MLG's hands and it they were 'impressed' with how they handled the sitation. If that's their perspective, then the people on SOTG were objectively wrong. I'll reiterate a few points from the MLG feedback threads below. The below are problems with MLG with simple solutions. 1) There should not be unplanned downtime between games. To prevent most of this, simply have a second set of computers on the main stage for players to setup on while the other game is going on. 2) The casters should be able to jump into games. To do this, simply give the casters multiple computers and have them join multiple games. 3) Every important should be streamed. IEM did this. You can have a group of online casters casting the game, but that's not even necessary. Just stream them. 4) The live blog is very bad. Old school starcraft players are used to having to read about games while they're going on. Give live blog input access to large group of people (e.g, Anna Prosser, MrBitter, etc...) so I can read more than one update every 10 minutes. 5) The stream quality is horrible. I'm not a tech person, so I can't say exactly how to fix this. But I strongly believe it can be, because literally every other stream has had better quality. This includes streams which have had 50,000+ viewers like the TSL, to small lans. 6) MLG has constantly promised to create storylines with interviews and other pieces of non-game content. I watched nearly the whole MLG, and I can only remember 3 interviews over 2 days. Huk, Idra, and Naniwa. There were probably a few more, but there was not nearly enough production value. 7) What the happened to make us miss TLO v Idra. If it was a break for the casters, why didn't they rotate them so they wouldn't need a break at that time? Even if that was impossible, why didn't they postpone that match until they were back? Or why didn't they simply stream the match without commentary? TLO and Idra are likely the two most popular players in the whole tourney, and we didn't get to see them play. 8) They don't have soundproof booths on the main stage. Idra and Socke could hear the commentators during their match. GSL had a problem with commentators being audible, but they have solved it with booths, headphones, and music being played in the booths. Why can't MLG do the same? The players were not in position to notice all of these problems. That's fine. But I wouldn't say their perspective was unique. Rather, it was limited. And it was very frustrating to hear people praising and making excuses for how an event was run when they didn't realize the extent of how bad it was. | ||

I had no intention of listening to sotg last night and having them agree with my opinion that MLG was awful just so I could feel better about myself... | ||

I made a joke about Day[9] having dropped to bronze but it's pretty obvious that I don't believe it? I don't claim to know Protoss better than Tyler but Tyler was comparing the level of refinement of Toss play to the other races' play. Which is a pretty far-reaching comparison and considering Tyler often actively ignores games that don't involve Protoss, I'm afraid he may not have seen refinement in the other races because they're usually too busy responding to Protoss' 1047th variation on 4gate. Which does kinda water down the possibilities here I'm sure you'll agree. I don't think there is a "plot" to hide streaming issues, just that people who work with MLG would be reluctant to insist too much and talk about them for long, which makes total sense and which I don't even find unreasonable, just a little boring from a listener's point of view because it involves an unavoidable amount of sugarcoating and/or excuses. Yeah, I think IdrA was the most entertaining speaker because of his lack of concern for political correctness. I think many people agree including Nazgul when speaking about IdrA in a recent interview. Basically I don't think I said anything shockingly wrong or off. | ||

On the MLG debacle, I suppose the cast and crew have given up on LAN? Perhaps Geoff would have some words to say about that. On the whole imbalance issue, I feel as if Day9 is being a bit too diplomatic. zerg does seem legitimately underpowered right now. Perhaps all zerg players are stupid and haven't figured out the right play-style, but Day should at least acknowledge the mere possibility that zerg might actually have fundamental weaknesses that cannot ever be over come with 'revolutionary play'. | ||

Protosses needed to come up with a "wacky" strat which was not considered the norm to overcome the ZvP conceived imbalance of the time. | ||

Too much PC can quickly make a good show rather boring. So thanks IdrA for saving the day. This piece of rant is pretty golden. Many assumptions are made, mixed with half truths and full lies. I'm quoting it because it deserves to be read. That is how preposterious I think it is. Great X-ray visions when you don't even know that Day9 has multiple accounts, each for one race. Each and everyone can refine their play, regardless of the race they are playing. While IdrA is fantastic to have on the show, he is definitely biased in terms of balance. Incontrol has it right when he said that IdrA has given up the ZvP match-up as a whole. It may be 'refreshing' to hear comments from a pro regarding the balance, but it's by no mean right or unbiased. And actually, ranting about Protoss OP is not refreshing at all. Just like how Day9 was right to make fun of IdrA's rage leave vs hallucination. But it the end you might just be a troll and arguing about this is pretty much pointless. | ||
