Well ill be interested in hearing what he says
|
I assume he was interviewed in english and it was then translated - how do these transcripts always seem to get lost? Can't they just post the english version as well?

David Kim is a Korean citizen who grew up in Korea.

"Zerg OP, unbeatable BL/Infestor"
I would love to hear this topic from blizzards point of view. Have been nagging about this part a couple of months now  .

David Kim is Korean, he presented a award on last year's Blizzard Cup and gave speech in fluent Korean.

Could you possibly translate these two articles?

Go Internet (Community) ..... let´s do the magic!
would rly love to hear his thoughts!

I think he is interviewed in Korean since he went there this week.
His answers are (from what I can guess from the broken language of machine translation):
1. One problem of hots beta is that not so many korean pros participated actively. G-Star 2012 may be a good start
2. The ladder in WOL is too hardcore, and attracting casuals need more
3. Many hots features are added for beginners
4. They heard a lot of feedback on Zerg OP, but it's not so bad if you look at race distribution and winrate
5: BL/Infestor is a problem? (not sure)
6: No, no plan yet for new Terran unit in HOTS, even warhound is gone.
7. HOTS's new unit design is reached a point. Now we are looking at raven and void ray. It's possible to completely redesign them to a new unit.
8. Infestor nerf should be indirect? (not sure)
9. A WOL patch may be necessary due to the demand recently, but they have no plan at the moment.

Why they'd look at winrate if all their feedback is saying something different is beyond me. Most people believe that PvZ, at least, is Protoss all-inning their way to a semi-decent winrate. That doesn't mean Zerg isn't favoured in a macro game, though.
|
Typical recycled answers of Race distribution are fine and winrate is fine. Such garbage...I'm pretty sure they don't even play or watch the game anymore.
|
Can we get a REAL translation before we go on the hate train?
|
David Kim grew up in korea,
moved to the states after he finished high school.
|
I will try translate it right now but I'm so afraid someone else might do it faster than me! but let me try it
|
Hold on the hates people. Those are just my guesswork from google translate.

They intentionally make certain races stronger at certain times of a matchup.

But when I asked him about this statement he said that they arent doing this anymore. (press at GC 2012)

That's fine, but I'm pretty sure Blizzard has said on numerous occasions that they don't want one-dimensional matchups and that they don't want one race to be doing the same thing every single game. That was the rationale for nerfing BFHs, Snipe, buffing Queens, and so on. I see no reason why suddenly Immortal/Sentry every game is acceptable.
