Will there be any call-ins this show? I would love to call in about the AE events this past weekend. | ||

Worth noting too that Justin Wong has said he has a new team ready for Evo that he won't show at all until the tournament, since he doesn't want to give anybody any lead on countering him. | ||

Really curious to hear their thoughts even if it was through a translator Worth noting too that Justin Wong has said he has a new team ready for Evo that he won't show at all until the tournament, since he doesn't want to give anybody any lead on countering him. Can't wait to see his new team. I just hope he keeps to what he practiced, because his teams have always been really good, but that last one he used in the Grand Finals... Wolv/Amatseru/Tron?? Against Wolv/Sent/Phoenix?? It just seems like a bad choice to me, but maybe I don't understand some of the finer points about playing vs Phoenix at the highest level. | ||

According to twitter (albeit after a salty weekend, so might be jokingly) Floe Marn and Justin all said they need to put phoenix on their team Maybe Wolvie Tron Phoenix or wolvie akuma phoenix, problem is you want some decent hp character to build the meter for tron, but you also usually need to spend meter to make wolvie effective. | ||

The thing with Phoenix is that its a gamble. If you get snapped back into an Air Combo, you are beat and your 5 bar trump card is gone. That being said, with the level of control and prediction that top level players have, I see no reason to not use Phoenix as a standard character like Wolvie. I still miss the Wolvie/Storm/Akuma team that Justin won that first MvC3 tourney with. However it makes sense why he doesn't play Storm anymore, since she is so easy to counter. I've been wondering about She-Hulk with Wolvie, seems like a good mix, with the right assists it could be nice, and then just use Phoenix to win if you can't win off of SH/Wolvie. | ||

It's a significantly less risk than you're trying to portray. A snapback doesn't lead into continuing your combo that you just gave up and spent a meter to end early. Once in, Phoenix basically has a safe zone a la doom's hidden missiles with her tracking fireballs that make it so you can't safely begin a combo against her either. She Hulk and Wolvie are terrible together because they both need an assist that helps them get in, which Tron's Gustaf Fire and Akumas tatsu allows. Thats why She hulk wolvie akuma can work as a team, but you can't have both SH and Wolvie if you want phoenix on your team as well. None of those 3 characters has an assist that allows you to safely get in and rushdown someone. | ||

SEA (south east ASIAN) players are considered foreigners, yet you are hesitant to call the rest of Asia foreigners as well? Please be more consistent with your labels. | ||

If Moonglade and the rest of the Australian, NZ scene can be called foreigners, I find it odd that their neighbors like Malaysia, Singapore, and also China up north, are often not labeled foreigners as well in the SC2 scene. Obviously as(if?) SC2 grows to become more global, labels will change, but I can't help but realize that e-sports media is quick to separate out the Asian e-sports scene. Going forward, I always think it's best to remain PC and be more inclusive with our terms. | ||

Should be the one with the OneMoreGame.tv label. If you search for OneMoreGame in iTUNES then you will see an Artists page with subs to every show :D | ||

JWong didn't use his standard team, which I can understand because of how good Tokido's Phoenix is, but I think he could have pulled the win out if he just played a more solid, and practiced, team. Funny thing is, JWong is alternately considered both a westerner and an Asian depending on who he's playing against (Japanese or not), in the same way many people consider Select Korean or not depending on who he's playing. | ||
