WoW! Does anyone find it amazing that only 1% of players beat the single player on brutal? Being on TL so much and playing with BW vets in such a insular hardcore community. You forget that 99% of people are noobs that just want to fly big motherships around the map. Its really pretty neat that Blizzard focus as much as they do on us because we clearly are not the majority lol. I don't think I "officially" beat the game on Brutal because of that one "secret" mission I never beat, so the 1% might actually be a bit higher. Still, not that surprising when SC2 sold like 4million? copies
I was shocked at 1% too but then I realised that theres not actually an achievement for completing on Brutal they can count and that he probably means getting the 1% completionist 29 missions on Brutal. So that excludes those that didnt find the secret mission as you say, those that were plagued by the mission counter bugs that occurred at the time of release and didnt replay those mission and those that arent completionists but did finish on Brutal.
Though even within the player community I rarely see a pro player that has even played the SC2 campaign let alone on brutal. Even Day9 hasn't got all the Brutal missions yet and remember him saying one of the things he wanted to do was to play through on brutal now that he has more time.

Glad they are looking into this infestor problem.
Really messes up terran in the late game w Broodlord who take out the ghosts from afar. Vikings can't do anything to broods since they get fungled. Marines either.
Messes up ZvZ in that every match is becoming Roach Infestor.
Protoss can deal pretty well with it using HT and blink but it would still be nice to have another option like Phoenix play.
I like the idea of not being able to target air they were playing with in PTR 1.2. Solves all three matchups. Zerg could now use mutas again. Vikings would be effective as long as he didnt have to many Corruptors guarding his broods. Would add more diversity to protoss options like Phoenix play. We'll see.

Holy shit that is a HORRIBLE explanation for why they keep a HORRIBLE unit in competitive play. How about give the terran all the units in the single player too for the bronze and gold league players?
They just told protoss that you get one less viable unit b/c its fun for some players who don't care about winning.
Meh MS timing pushes are fun....
in team >.<
God damnit I just wish interceptors didnt get destroyed by stupid marines.
I mean seriously... a carrier can hardly kill 10 stimmed marines.

Pretty weak interview imo. Considering Jp represents MLG, there's a lot of short comings in the game that directly damage MLG and none of them were brought up. If anyone were to hold their feet to the fire about the tremendous weaknesses of Bnet 0.2, it could be Jp and MLG and noone would think twice about it.
I don't get this mentality of saying JP was too easy. First of all, this is a game preview interview, not questioning a suspected corrupt politician. Second, Blizzard has already talked about LAN/Bnet tons of times.
Fact is, if you think JP bringing the question up would've made Blizz go "Gee, now that you mention it, we SHOULD add LAN, great idea JP we never thought of that," then I don't know what to tell you. Blizzard will basically dodge with something like "We are aware of the issues and looking into it."
So sure, be mad at Blizzard for their faults, but don't chastise JP for going for a pleasant interview rather than asking futile, pointless questions.

Really nice interesting interviews. Can't wait for HOTS

you talk about protoss need more options in PvZ? you can basically go for any tech and win.. zerg can go for near nothing compared to it, BL's and infestors are the only late tech units that zerg really got atm, yeah you can go for ultralisks.. but to be honest.. not worth the cost, they die quite quickly to any heavy hitters (marauders, siege tanks, thors, immortals, voidrays etc.) and constantly f*cks up your micro 'cause they're so big and incredibly slow for a ground melee unit, sure when they got your army surrounded and is backed up by another unit they're good, but how often is that even possible?
if they nerf infestor/broodlord too much there ain't much zerg can do on high level in late game..
and corruptors to kill high viking counts? thats simply a waste of food & money since vikings rip corruptors apart.
imo terran just need to work with it, they'll find a way.. and in ZvP and ZvZ its not really that much of a problem (in ZvZ you rarely ever hit that point, and when you do its about who'll make the BL's last and still got corruptors)

I'm not a fan of JP interviewing. During MLG he spoke extremely fast and use colloquial language when interviewing players. As someone who speaks another language, it's not easy to understand these two components even for an adept translator.
Also, in the first interview, JP has his back to David Kim who is standing awkwardly to his stage right during the entire interview. I think JP needs to re-evaluate how he performs these interviews

He is an amateur , u cant expect anything better . In time he will learn . Besides, journalism is a serious profession, one you go to school for

I really dont understand why so many ppl hate units like collosi.I think they are either Tor Z.Same for marauders, hated by Z and P, and infestor hated by P and T.Get over it guys...this is the game so try to adapt your strategies.And stop talking about reavers and lurkers and other SC1 units...its like saying we should go to war with weapons from WW2 in iraq or other places in the 21st century.If you dont like the game, maybe go and play SC1?
