I've been wondering where Idra disappeared to for the last week or so, good to see that he is still active. | ||

Tarson's interview was also great, and I liked that bit where apparently he said he was the best in Europe then laughed and asked to redo that question. | ||

 I can't say I liked the Idra interview though but not because of Carmac but because idra always makes it sound like Zerg sucks, his opponents only lose because they mess up or because they suck and he won't switch races because he's gone so far with it. Never have seen someone do that little circle over and over and yet have so many fans, give them drama and they love you I suppose. I was hoping for some trolling but Carmac was all straight up, still great job by him as always. | ||

this statement is so wrong... ladder stats being 50% just indicates one thing: the matchmaking works. The ladders only goal is to keep players artificially at 50% If i lose very often, my MMR will drop and i will get weaker opponents till i reach 50% again. If i win too much, i will get stronger opponents till i reach 50% again. So ladder staticstics doesnt say anything. If i win 90% of my zvz, 52 % of my ZvT and just 8% of my ZvP im still at 50% win rate. Even if my pvz is 50% it tells you nothing about how balanced it is, because you cant see the MMR. There is a huge possibility that the toss i lost to were on the same MMR as me and the ones i won where on lower mmr Care to explain? Lol. Obvious troll is obvious. Care to explain how IdrA's logic of the matchmaking system is wrong. You are right about it being explained a thousand times on TL, but every time it says "The matchmaking systems only goal is to have each player reach a 50% win rate" so idk wtf you're talkin about bro. IdrA is pretty spot on. If one matchup was significantly easier e.g TvP, you would see terran players with a higher average win ratio in TvP, and a Lower ratio in TvZ, while still maintaining the 50% average overall winrate. The total win ratio for a player will always trend to 50% yes, but the match up specific averages will not, and can indicate imbalance. | ||

The total win ratio for a player will always trend to 50% yes, but the match up specific averages will not, and can indicate imbalance. you dont see the matchup specific averages. You just see the overall average. and even then: imagine TvZ would be unbalanced in a straight up game. Z would always dominate. But most terrans will go for an marine + scv cheese anyways, bringing the terran MU specific winrate to 53% Balanced? | ||

Typical idra, every tournament he just says "The zergs had hard groups and the protoss had easy". He said the exact opposite. According to him, the zergs who qualified had easy groups. He had grubby,cloud and delphi, Xlord had mc (who he lost to), demuslim (who was just coming back to competition) and tyler. Stephano had huk,insolence and naruto lol Idra still not giving nestea any credit !?!? Is he blind? He has said multiple time that nestea is very good. But in that gsl he played in order: jinro and clide in group stage then fruitdealer,anypro, sc (the only really good player he faced, and he barely won) and inca. You can't take that result as a proof that zerg are doing Ok, especially against protoss. Now i'm not saying that IdrA is right but the examples he takes are very well chosen to serve his point. | ||

As said previously in this thread, it is so good to see an interview which consists of Carmac and Idra having an actual conversation instead of the ask and answer type of style. A+ for Carmac!  | ||

The conversational style of the conversation, as Helvig says above, was also a definite plus. It was very cool that they spent a good deal of time discussing a few questions instead of just doing a rapid-fire question/response. | ||
