If you have criticism, you need to address the content, not the hosts. Idra and Artosis are 2 (1.5) Zerg players, but you can't point that out and then blanket them as biased. Respond to the content.

You can't tell them to "get 2 Terran and Protoss players". That's fucking obtuse advice. "Yo just get 4 more high level players to record with you." Yes, I think everyone sees the value in getting it, but it's not practical.

Respond to the content and use evidence / logic to back up your claims.

Introducing a new show....a show about Imbalance! IdrA and Artosis will be your hosts. This week we will introduce the show, what imbalance is, and what we plan to do. We will also start tackling the Colossus: is it imbalanced?

IdrA commenting on balance... oh boy. This should be the beginning of something awesome. Nerds will forever cite this video in their balance arguments.

genuine curiosity here, is this meant to be an entertainment type of show or a "lets get down to business and talk serious" kind of show.

Artosis and IdrA on a show about balance. Of course. Still, they're both smart players so I trust them to make it interesting and reasonable.

While I respect Artosis/Idra as players, when they talk about imbalances, it causes a major shitstorm for the whole non-korean/TL community afterwards.

Basically, everyone takes what they say like its the bible, and we have to put up with it for the next 3-4 months until smart korean players figure out its not that bad.

So, im not really looking forward to the aftermath of this.. I can expect another 50+ people in ladder saying "You only won because im zerg and zerg blows" after I beat them for the next 2 weeks. I will also mention I play random too, and ive played about 50 zerg games at 2800+ diamond (before masters came out) and I had no issues other than my own mistakes. Its hard, sure, but its not unwinnable like people try to proclaim it is.

If people would just spend more time analyzing replays and understanding why they lost, instead of instantly saying the "I" word or proclaiming something is OVERPOWERED.. we would all be better off.. Clearly, in the GSL we have a nice distribution of all 3 races, every matchup is winnable, theres no insta-win like in certain periods of BW and WC3 had in the past.. No one should use imbalance as the blame of their losses at this stage in the game. The whole conversation just stirs up unnecessary controversy really, let blizzard do their job and if something is truely bad, they will fix it.

Every non Zerg who "lols" at IdrA or any Zerg talking about imbalance should actually try playing zerg at a somewhat high level.

The counter for relatively simple executed things is often a much much much more complicated set of responses that require more multi tasking to defend than to execute. On top of that you get the drone/unit larvae decisions AND injects + creep that lose you the game if you dont keep on top of.

Never saw a terran lose because his mule was 10 seconds late.

@scrimpton I agree with you I started as a zerg then went terran and now play toss goto high diamond with all races and zerg is by far the hardest terran the easiest. Ask any random player i assume they would agree.

Watched It and its different then what I expected it was more of a strategy discussion. Like looking threw a window into what these guys talk about on a normal day basis it wasn't your normal BLAH BLAH this is unfair.

It was more of a hey this strategy is really hard to play against lets talk about how we could beat it, as of now.

I feel if you guys played Terran the show would be called balanced.
