Lol, the start of the NASL segment is just harrowing.

Loved the show. Good to know that Gretorp is very dedicated at grinding!

i was pretty disappointed that incontrol (almost definitely) spoiled 3 out of 5 NASL matches that air wednesday night..
JP should prolly mention in the show notes that the spoilers are not only about past aired tourney results, but also unaired results.. though i understand if they'd rather sweep this under the rug..

incontrol should have known better, two weeks into NASL. I guess he was just tired, i'll give the man a break because he works so hard.
Felt i needed to mention it though (i know others have too in this thread)

No I didn't spoil any match let alone 3 of them.

Rainbow is 0-2 I said 0-3 on accident. I was talking about him being winless so far...

And no you didn't need to mention it. It's been brought up a few times and I responded on air about my mistake. Not sure why you conspiracy theorists want to believe the worst in me but it doesn't HAVE to continue.

I don't know when mis-speaking or fumbling a few words became such a crime on this board.

It's like there's no goodwill at all anymore.

The way Incontrol spoke and reacted it was absolutely obvious he wasn't spoiling anything, simply just getting his words mixed out a tiny bit. Why so much hate

I agree. I didn't take it as a spoiler at all. Problem is if he does loose people will come here and say "Told you so".

It feels like InControl atm is in an unwinnable situation, and people just do not realise how much he is working towards the community. People needs to step back and rethink all the comments, criticisms and why he has a full ban list (which I didn't even know was possible

)

I was a little disappointed that Tyler didn't elaborate on what these builds that crush 4 gate are. He's saying that it's too bad that the patch is catering to the lower leagues unable to deal with 4 gate but then doesn't proceed to explain to these lower leagues what those anti-4 gate builds are.

Seems like a missed opportunity to me, he had a clear chance to improve the situation by explaining in detail to the thousands of lower leagues who listen to the show how to deal with it but then didn't.

I'm in high diamond and the only thing I personally see on ladder beating a well-executed 4 gate is another 4 gate that just takes advantage of being on the ramp and getting better arcs. I'm not saying an answer to that doesn't exist, just that I'd love to know what it is.

I honestly didn't catch any spoilers. Great show like usual, glad i caught most of it :D. Especially the end with gretorp and everyone throwing out so many funny things.

His primary job is to win games. Somewhere down the list, maybe between 100-200, is to educate people on SotG.

I never felt like there were spoilers when I listened yesterday.

I do think we should see iNcontroL's birth certificate though.

Welcome to league broadcast, where Psyonic Reaver opens threads complaining about things he misheard you saying and everybody is insane.

Edit: To be fair, "on accident" is the most tilt-inducing phrase I know.

LOL. People really are treating the NASL like InControl is the overworked President, Gretorp is the disenchanted Vice-President, and Russ is like some kind of machiavellian bureaucrat trying to control the world of e-sports.

I don't know why people were so close-minded about the whole concept of MVP thinking T is underpowered, especially on SOTG. The reinforcement aspect of Protoss and Zerg vs. Terran is worlds apart as Zerg is usually the quickest race in terms of being able to get an army to a spot quickly with speedlings, creep spread etc. and Protoss can generally warp in just about anywhere with a small investment in a pylon.

Does anyone think a change like increasing medivac speed to where it was before would make a difference? I don't remember if they had done something crazy like outrun mutalisks, but I would surmise that increasing the speed of the best tool T has for mobility with his army might cut down on the trouble players are having with map size.

I liked this weeks episode, but I was really disappointed that they bashed the fake Street Fighter guy for IPL. I don't begrudge them their opinion, but I hope I'm not the only one who loves him lol.

What's the story behind this again? I can only recall people changing their user names to ESPORTS back in the beta to patronize Blizzard over something bad they were doing.
