He plays at a level such that it wouldn't be hard for him to incorporate new strategies and builds for the future. He is undeniably one of the top 5 NA players now. In the long run, I would not be surprised if he becomes the #2 NA player after IdrA. Talking about SeleCT as a "one trick pony" sounds like sour grapes. I don't think anyone was saying he can't adapt. They were saying he has to adapt. Which, ironically, is also what you're saying. What's the issue again? | ||

I assume there won't be a show monday night  , but even if there is, it'll be well received!Edit: I really think that saying that people were 'talking shit on SeleCT' is an inaccurate judge of the conversations that were going on...nothing offensive was actually said about him, just that he will eventually have to play a different style, since MM->M will eventually be dealt with by creative players. | ||

Complexitygaming.com (which hosts the podcast) is down atm. You can get the SOTG from the itunes store though. edit: I lied, it's not coming through itunes either. Apparently itunes is trying to download the podcast from complexitygaming, so that won't help. | ||

However, I would like to humbly inform you guys in broadcasting though - given that you will probably talk about Raleigh some more.... Raleigh - it rhymes with "trolley" and "volley" - it does not sound like "rally" (as in rally-car race car) - it does not rhyme with "Sally" or "valley" cary on... | ||

If you watch any of his games before the tournament, such as the TL Open games, he shows that he has a ton of flexibility in his builds and play. He's got a build that opens with ghosts in TvT, and can play protoss to a really high level, he does have some really obscure and different strategies. Now he's using a build than is winning 90% of the time against protoss due to his awesome control, why the hell would he change it? It's like you cannon rushing machine, it works so why not do it? It's not flashy and it's one of the the most basic things protoss can do but it works, it's how it's done not what exact build that matters. If cannon rushing worked 90% of the time in every game becasue people didn't know how to beat it then you will use it as much as SeleCT does his MMM harass. It's kind of a minor point but I think people are underestimating him due to ignorance and the fact is he wins games, no matter what build he uses. | ||

Maybe its blizzards fault for having a strategy thats so hard to counter in TvP but who in the tournament would've changed a build thats winning them game after game against top level players. Look at is ladder stats and how he won the two TL Opens. Saying he will need to adapt is a stupid thing to say. Stupid because its so obvious its retarded. Its the same for all players and theres no reason to suggest Select doesn't adapt over any other pro player. He came 7th in Raleigh and bettered it to come 2nd in DC. If he couldn't adapt dont you think people would've figuered it out by now and he'd be losing? Guys on the podcast need to stop questioning him and accept hes easily one of the best foregin SC2 players atm. Anyways love the podcasts and the two MLG minicasts have been excellent. The arguements are pretty funny some times and its good you guys are opiniated or it'd be a pretty boring show. | ||

I doubt these guys would get together week after week if they truly harbored any animosity towards one another. I love this podcast so much. | ||

You realize that looking at one Bo3 and basing your conclusion off that is completely wrong. He has shown that he is top class. Doing well in many weekly cups and winning both TL Opens. This performance in MLG was merely a cherry on top proving his worth. He is easily one of the best foreign SC2 players atm. | ||

Archons tank marauder shots really well, and you got feedback against the drops, not to mention storm is really awesome aswell. Is it a huge risk to get to it before you die ? I watched a clan war match on gomtv yesterday, Maka faced a protoss who went for templar, he was doing bio, he kept doing bio. He dominated with Marauder, ghost and medevac. Marauder just dont die to storm if they move. Maka was the best player obviously but i dont know, im not sure if templar can bring down the marauder down even on equal skill of the other guy can use ghost well. | ||

If that was LZGamer grinding his way through the loser's bracket -- which included consecutive sets against TTOne, QXC, Slush, Nony and Huk (!) -- it would be the Cinderella story of the tournament. Instead, it a story about how Select exploited a single build. I really like the SOTG podcast, but the last few are starting to feel really insular. It's one thing to bust each other's balls, but when criticizing players you obviously don't have a strong relationship with, you'd expect a bit more diplomacy and frankly, graciousness. | ||

That's really not fair. Idra destroyed EVERYONE in an embarassing fashion. I'm not saying that Select's TvZ is good, but most people's Anything v Idra is going to look weak. If anything, I took Select's comment during the game of not having Zerg's to practice against as a compliment to Idra. Because he's right. There's not a Zerg in NA that comes close to Idra's skill level. | ||
