You can't be super serial all the time and it's always funny to watch him facepalm after a drone is sat there for ages before an expo is made. It's all just light-hearted, I'd consider him far from obnoxious in relation to some of the other big names on the starcraft scene | ||

Saying that he makes you angry seems a little extreme though, just don't watch him if you don't like him. Personally I like what he has to say but he takes forever to say it and I do get a bit annoyed at his mannerisms. | ||

IdrA's history of balance whining, even in the most balanced RTS ever designed, speaks for itself this argument is kind of weak because idra himself has mentioned how perfectly balanced BW is compared to SC2. its obvious that idra is whiner, but that is besides the point. its kind of obvious that this game is not perfectly balanced. blizzard knows this themselves and are constantly trying to patch things with each patch release. toss has been twinked with numerous times since beta and post SC2 launch for example. same with terran and zerg. the problem is tho they are not addressing zerg issues all that much. so saying and ignoring all of the imbalances in the game is stupid because there are obvious imbalances in it. if there were no imbalances, then why is blizz constantly patching and twinking the races? | ||

Hold your horses. From the time zerg gets zerglings and until protoss gets observers, protoss has no way to scout zerg directly. Also, observers cost gas and robotics build time, they're not exactly free. Zerg always has overlords. Scans delays your income, as you must know, and zergs can actually hide their tech and units to make terrans waste more scans. If you place every tech building beside your main hatchery, well of course he's going to scout it. That's like placing your 4 warp gates by your ramp... And zerg actually has ridiculously good map knowledge in the later stages of the game, via overlords and creep spread. It's not as simple as you seem to believe. | ||

It's much simpler than you seem to believe though. How many abusive things can protoss do, now how many of these each require their own unique response from the zerg? (protip: basically everything) Now flip this around, how many different things can the zerg do, that cant be solved with sentry, stalker zealot? See why zerg needs scouting, and protoss isn't as reliant on it? your basic units provide all the protection you need as toss. As Z, you need to know whats coming to prepare a specific response. | ||

Way to turn this into a balance thread. | ||

If yu actually knew what esports was you wouldnt say that. it isn't just starcraft, it grew out of BW into HEAPS of games, not only RTS aswell, also FPS and fighting games. I hate the idea that because you love starcraft it is the only esport in the world. | ||
