Day9 on the other hand, his livelihood isn't directly related to the success or failure of one race, but the game as a whole. His interest in balance is much more one that can play out over several months or even years, his daily's are actually more interesting if people have issues with races that he can help them work through. Day9 just has the luxury of time on his side, there is no rush in his eyes for immediate balance fixes but in Idra's case every little bit helps. And when you are trying to win tournaments today, you don't have time to wait for what you feel are needed changes that might not come for 6 months. Let's say 6 months from now Blizzard all the sudden decides, "you know what, Zerg does need better early game scouting tools.." and they make that change. Well wouldn't you be frustrated if you had been saying that for 6 months and were losing thousands of dollars because that change didn't come soon enough? Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying either are right or wrong, but you have to look at the fact that they are arguing from different positions, one feeling the need for fixes today while the other feels time will help straighten this out. | ||

What if the reason TL denied the invite is because they wanted Tyler's face on the front page of the EG tournament site :D. Then would it be proper for Colbi to say, "oh TL declined the invite because they wanted tyler's face on the eg site." Or Colbi could just say for ANY reason..."TL declined the invite." You can replace the tyler's face request with anything else that may be really unreasonable for EG etc. I think Tyler and Jinro at least think that the reason TL didn't accept the invite would HELP them more than hurt them if it was aired publicly so that is the reason they are making a big fuss of the being deceptive crap. Edit: Fixed some wording. | ||

Sure it is when you go for the eco build. You could get denied (the risk). Blizzard keeps changing the bunker build time also to help the 14 hatch builds. Hell a lot of changes have been made to keep that build viable. Now blizzard has to make it to where you can scout like everyone else and have eco advantage? I disagree. I say leave it a risk. | ||

Cant believe anyone goes against day9 because he didnt wanna get into some big long drawn out argument against idra, the guy will always act like that so theres no point, i'd love to see him race switch, suddenly the new race he plays would be shit and everyone else would be imba, would love to see him leave the community, his cons far outweigh his pros. Even if he switched races he'd come up with an all new set of factors about the race to complain about and he'd have a whole new set of followers that listened to his everyword. Whatever race idra is playing is automatically the weakest race. Remember that  | ||

But if TL wanted tyler's face on eg site, then the whole community would be mad against TL for that boring kind of advertising. So TL would never do that: they just asked for something that should gave them a fair fight against other team, considering the number of korean players and european players they have. And that's why most of the community is just standing behind them, because they agreed that this demand is fair. | ||

Whatever race idra is playing is automatically the weakest race. Remember that So many people not understanding; just because someone is bias does not mean you should disregard everything they say. Sure I get sick of Idra whining, I'm sure everyone does (except maybe Artosis), that does not mean he, from time to time, has real valid points. | ||

Why does that matter? I was responding to someone who said idra said it was the most under powered race in brood war when his most recent statement said otherwise. | ||

IMMVP said terran is weakest too. apparently there are other top terrans who do too. [I think saying terran is the weakest is actually hilarious though] idra thinks zerg is the weakest. he's not the only top zerg who thinks so MC said he thought protoss was a little UP, right? I kinda think that too, though I am not a top pro. I play protoss. So my conclusion is, just listen to people who seriously analyze the game but aren't invested in a race. People like day9. Other than that, look at statistics from higher level tournaments. Everything else is biased as shit and worthless I didn't even watch this episode btw. But I am going to because I heard it's a good watch. | ||

No the point was to confront Tyler's logic about being deceptive and TELLING everything that happened behind closed doors. In a hypothetical what if TL requested something ridiculous, should Colbi have said TL declined because of X and it made TL look bad, because otherwise it would be deceptive according to Tyler? | ||

It's not because he feels there's fundemental flaws with the zerg race he isn't trying to win and play well. | ||

I'd suggest someone of your mental capacity go check out the show "jersey shore" seems right up your alley bro. I counted the argument as a loss by Idra the moment he went into a heated, simplistic rant about early game ZvT. It's a waste of time to discuss the "b" word without a large commitment of time, hundreds of replays, and a large dataset. If you can be lead to believe that zerg is imbalanced from intuition and hashing of a few cherry-picked facts, then you can be lead to believe anything. Like danson and Tasteless, I just tuned out and switched tabs when they started chasing eachother's tail. And don't remind people that our country makes shows like Jersey Shore and that people watch them. | ||

That was pretty immature, regardless of the debate at hand, IMO. Basically Geoff trying to bait Tyler into saying that he doesn't like his sponsor's product. Geoff you make me sad sometimes he was on the debate team man, he shows no mercy! | ||
