No it really doesn't. The first one is way more open to speculation and the general speculations from the first version are way more negative towards john (TL) and the second one, the speculations are way more fair about the possibilities. You can't really say that it doesn't

Wow this was a really great display of the NA scene right here. Good job guys, way to promote ESPORTS... Hint: if you do not have the mental capacity to argue, then don't argue. Otherwise you make yourselves look like fools.


Also I would like to comment about Day9 vs. Idra, in my opinion this debate was pathetic. But I'm not surprised, this is what happens when players believe they're video games developers. Anyway there's no point arguing with a guy who thinks that "Zerg is broken". So, Idra wins tournaments using a broken race, does that mean he's 10 times better than his opponents?
Get real.

Hey, Idra followers and depressed Zerg, stop thinking that Idra will revolutionize Zerg play. He's got good macro but that's it. He's far from being a genius, especially when it comes to strategy and TACTICS. But all in all I'm very sad that a guy like Idra is so popular in the starcraft scene. I believe the foreign scene would be healthier without such an immature player.

I left wow and its AWFUL community, then came to starcraft & TL. Unfortunately, I found Idra and his fanboys. People thinking that they can devise strategy and solve the game, just like they can master a Tekken 5 character or a Call of Duty automatic rifle.

I think I'm officially jumping on the hate incontrol bandwagon. I 1. used to debate, as did he and 2. I'm a sales associate. I know how to manipulate people's words to make them sound silly, while making your own point yourself. For him to use his tactics on another pro gamer is pretty disgusting. Everything about him and his gf really just seem corny. I can see them sitting at dinner bming every other pro gamer and "friend" they have then putting on their masks as they go online. Tyler had some good points, and incontrol just came and picked up a few points while leaving out others and bashed him. Also, the way he treats Idra (arguably the best foreigner out there) when he's attempting to make logical points on what he sees as op is extremely frustrating. Instead of giving him solutions, he immediately just shuts him down.

All in all, most people probably cant even see through him. But for some of us, we can see him as a troll who thinks he's above every other pro gamer, and just plays along to gain power.

The point is that TL forum is not a place to advertise, so by responding to the question by doing some PR thing (and making TL look bad in the proccess) is kinda inapropriate.
