In other words, it's stupid and wrong and people should stop saying it unless they want to look stupid and be wrong. EDIT: Conveniently Goeff goes into this at the start of the show, in regards to Nony specifically but it applies to all of them; 'It's a shame, and it's a blessing, that this show, we're so accessible. Like when Tyler makes a comment about MC or protoss or just gameplay in general, you can track him down. You can say something that he will see, you can tell him your thoughts. And that's not how the NFL is, that's not how ESPN is, you can't track one of those guys down and say 'Hey, I thought you were a total schmuck for the way you talked about *sports guys name* the other day, he's the best quarterback ever, who are you.' And er, I think that's too bad because Tyler doesn't just say 'MC is bad' and then we all chuckle and we move on, he actually explains the build, talks about the circumstances, and gets into the game at a level that people pay hundreds of dollars for coaching to hear, and he's sharing that knowledge for free and he's giving analysis that people should be...doing drastic things to get that information.' Get some. That's exactly why we don't listen to Chomsky's point of view on politic just because he made an awesome theory on linguistic and the acquisition of language... Ho wait. What's funny is that Geoff, Tyler are always bashing on IdrA's whine about protoss, but they are both protoss with relativ sucess, especially Geoff, despite being more or less one of the most busy player out there with NASL and shit. If the game were balanced, with his coaching session, the NASL, a girlfriend, he should disappearing from the scene as a pro player. | ||

And by pro players, i mean reasonable ones, not Idra ofc. Yes Idra is whining a bit too much about zerg current state, but there's no zergs to contradict him. Only protoss do this, most of the time with stupid idea like Use nydus more, etc | ||

WHAT? let me drop this concept on you... maybe some people like geoff are just HARD WORKING and ORGANIZE their time. note how he streams his practices on most nights, and probably trains a lot more without streaming? jesus. why do you pretend you know the ins and outs of someone's life when you actually have no clue? likely none of us here knows just how much time these pros devote to the game, so why can't you let their results speak for it rather than blaming the game? gotta hate when popularity invites the stupidity of the masses. these guys are trying to dish out quality free content on a weekly basis, and for some reason after every episode some schmoe finds things to complain about and then 20 slack jawed yokels jump on to post idiotic pieces of garbage like the above poster. | ||

I mean... Is anyone still seriously saying: "use more nydus worm" to solve anything? | ||

There are quite a few zerg players who say that, yes we're having a hard time right now, but every option isn't exhausted yet. It also seems like most zerg gamers were terran pros in brood war, and terran could have a stupidly strong maxed army with tanks and mines and whatnot, whereas the other races had to work around it. I think the zergs in sc2 are expecting infested siege tanks and vultures to pop out of the sky so they can turtle up hard core and go death ball style, but that's never been how you play the race. | ||

Please list the zergs who are saying that and it's quite a few more than 3 zerg progamers who are complaining (nestea,july,dimaga,morrow,idra,lalush off the top of my head) Anyway, I think they [sotg cast] reiterated their position on balance better this week | ||

That's exactly why we don't listen to Chomsky's point of view on politic just because he made an awesome theory on linguistic and the acquisition of language... Ho wait. ..what the fuck? People listen to Chomsky's opinion because of it's content. If he critisizes, say, the President of the United States, no one says 'hey Chomsky when's the last time you were the head of a major industrial power?'. especially Geoff, despite being more or less one of the most busy player out there with NASL and shit. If the game were balanced, with his coaching session, the NASL, a girlfriend, he should disappearing from the scene as a pro player. As fush correctly pointed out, that makes no sense. I don't even need to elaborate, logically it simply does not follow. | ||

And pro zerg player, who give 100% to SC2, are not HARD WORKING and ORGANIZE ? lol I was basically saying that yes, we listen to chomsky point of view on politic at first because he made decisiv theory on linguistic. We are in fact listening at Tyler and Geoff because they have a history, they are known to be really interesting players, with great skill and such. So saying "it's not because they don't have result that they should not be listened" is funny. Geoff himself said some time ago that what Day9 says is often outdated because he doesn't have the time to play. Tyler is often flamed because he does not give his best to SC2, and actually played wow for a long time. Geoff is a caster, almost married, coaching big guy. Day9/Tyler/Geoff's points of view are interesting, but stop implying like everything they say is like the word of god directly appearing on the fucking bible: they are wrong about ZvP balance, and all this thing about seeking new doors is getting old. I am in NO WAY disrespecting them for saying that. ..what the fuck? People listen to Chomsky's opinion because of it's content. If he critisizes, say, the President of the United States, no one says 'hey Chomsky when's the last time you were the head of a major industrial power?'. Art is signature, you would never even know about chomsky if he were not a decisiv linguist. There are a lot of guy outthere who constantly said a lot of interesting things about the politic and no one ever heard of them because it's NOT the content that makes someone famous. Get real. | ||

He doesn't play sc2 and doesn't watch the premier tournaments so what does a sc2 pro do exactly? I'm not ripping on him btw just wondering what he does.Well first of all he's married... and I was always under the impression that he had a real job that wasn't sc2-related. | ||

SC1 & SC2 are not the same game, not in the same scene. SC1 at the beginning was a bunch of amateur / loosers (I was one) playing for good fun. Some, more talented at the game, started to get better, improve their mechanics and build strategies. 10 years of SC1 is not just developping the meta game of SC1, it's also more or less developping the e-sport scene where SC2 appeared. When I mean history, I'm not meaning they are dynosaures, just that they were the best at some point, but they are not now, and they are not at IdrA's level (well tyler is, but he is actually playing like protoss should be played, non abusive, and because of that he is way behind what he sould). | ||

Just gonna use WoW as an example here. When you come from a WoW background, you're used to people screaming OP, even the most well respected members of the community will whine about something, and Blizzard will nerf things every month so nobody is really OP for very long. So when you come from that background, as I suspect quite a few people do, you aren't used to the game sort of developing for itself, you expect someone to fix it for you (Blizzard). Many people here did not play sc1, they dont know anything about it, and therefore they cannot understand the arguments used by day9/tyler etc. What i'm trying to say, is that whining about balance is a completely normal thing to do in other games, and it has carried over to Starcraft now, as well as the mentality that someone will fix it for you as long as you complain enough. The only problem is that Starcraft isnt anything like CoD or WoW or whatever other game out there. It is far more complex, and i hope that people will learn that as time goes on, that things can and will fix themselves. I hope people can understand my point, because it's really hard to explain it properly  | ||

So why have a balance team to begin with seriously, all this hypothetical mysterious x player will solve the match up is funny. Roach at armor2 with tunneling claws and 1 food raped protoss, was that not broken? or protoss with 15sec warpgate? couldn't that be solved by bisu too? also On April 07 2011 03:49 IdrA wrote: youd have to be retarded to think people whos livelihood depends on winning games arent trying to figure things out. but we've been trying since the second phase of the beta and nothing fucking works. | ||
