This seems very trollish. Your logic that Tyler has no right to criticize or critique oGsMC because he hasn't won a GSL is pretty... umm... retarded? Tyler still understands this game at an extremely high-level. A level that the handful of silvers and bronzies you put together can't quite comprehend. My guess is this podcast never gets off the ground and fades away rather quickly.

Btw - I think it's awesome if lower level players (I am lower level myself) want to do something to contribute to the community, but your logic and reasoning above is greatly flawed because of your lack of understanding of how high-level players understand and analyze the game.

Also, the word "fanboy" comes to mind when reading the OP.

Im glad noone actually gave thought to their criticism of MC and just went with knee jerk reactions. I guess it's a WoW player thing.

well they did encourage people to do this on SoTG. I've got to admit you guys are showing some balls. I probably wont listen to it just because it'll be stupid. But kudos to you guys for doing it!

Makes perfect sense.
Maybe you should consider not inviting (pro)gamers of JPs level, they may just be too good to discuss anything. Gold league should be maximum, yo.

Also, you have too many Terrans, how are you supposed to show an unbiased and serious approach to how overpowered Terran is?? They will never admit to it. Invite only Protoss players IMO.

This thread could turn into a new low for forum thread on the Internet.

I don't know why these guys listen to sotg. Obviously its a waste of time for them since they don't understand it.

Also, for people out there, if you don't understand what Tyler was talking about and his arguments about MC (don't need to agree but understand the arguments), you don't know enough of this game and you should either think more about it or forget it.

Another thing. The arguments stand or do not stand by themselves. The arguments are either good or bad by themselves. How good is the one making them is irrelevant.

Finally, I think this thread should be closed.

The most recent official SOTG got me thinking: if Liquid'Tyler wasieleski can criticize oGsMC without having won a GSL, then obviously it's acceptable -- nay, necessary -- to have a gap in skill in order to discuss matters. This led me to believe that the actual SOTG is somewhat suboptimal in its selection of hosts and guests. As an alternative, I present the following:

I like the idea of anyone starting any podcast, but your logic for doing so makes no sense. Yes, Tyler can criticize whoever he wants as can you or anyone else. But if people will tune in to listen is a different story.

The reason people listen to Tyler is the same reason why you're so upset. It's not the platform that he's speaking from, it's his background as a player. So yes, it's acceptable, but no, it's not necessary.

People will tune into your podcast if you have a good podcast and not because of your gap in skill. And in reality, you're starting this podcast with a gap in logic more than a gap in skill. It sounds like you're off to a bad start. If you're serious about this, I would re-think why you want to do any of this at all because if you do it for the wrong reasons, no one's going to tune in.

I actually enjoyed the show. If you guys want to lighten it up a bit though while keeping a nice following, instead of trying for gimmicky schtick humor, some serious humor might work better for a show like this. Make it a weekly show and you have yourself a dedicated follower here.

It was going to happen sooner or later.
Definitely interesting, I'd love to hear a lower-leagues perception of things.
