Any players in particular you are interested in? I love SKT1 Rain, LG-IM MVP, AcerScarlett and EG Stephano. I hope Stephano wins the WCS.  | ||

Only freak like answerer could consider Tempest to be a good help against zerg's late game dominance. Whole the world talk to blizzard (in interviews, at forums) that the infestors are the stupidest unit, and it must be nerfed/redesigned, but that's okey, just use Tempest. How do i want these two clowns(d kim, d browder) leave this company. | ||

My friends and I watched both SC2 and LoL this weekend and had a great time. Shockingly, we are able to enjoy both with no issues. what a mean thing to say, as if your opinion matters more or is more valuable | ||

I have never heard him say anything positive or constructive that should be taken seriously. I have never seen him make a reasonable argument about anything and mostly whines about how badly he feels game is made, yet he continues to play. Good point. He is little more than a serial whiner. It's rather ironic as this is his job (as a SC2 pro or semi-pro) but he constantly whines about how bad it all is. Given that he chooses to game for a living (something a lot of other people would envy) he needs to get his head out of his ass. You don't like your job? Fine. Get another. If you can't or won't, then shut up about how bad it is. A lot of other people do terrible jobs (far worse than playing a race you don't like in game you constantly run down) and get on with it. Cloud might want to think about that, and either get better or just shut up already. As they say, a bad workman blames his tools. (I swear, there are few things worse than mediocre foreign terran pros, constantly crying about hard it all is.) | ||

I actually feel good about this interview. Redesigns for Void Ray and Raven, buffs to Carrier and possibly Reaper. Sounds good. | ||

Some pro-players are suggesting that it is impossible to beat late game PvZ. Yes we are aware that such issues are present. However in Starleague, Protoss players dominated against zerg players and considering other tournaments, PvZ is not completely one sided. There is a problem with the match up but we believe that it can be fixed through various patches. As for now, we should take time to decide wether this is a serious problem or not. If we believe that it is not an issue, balance updates will be focused on HOTS. THANX RAIN. | ||

Yeah festors need a bit of nerf .. like lesser radius, a bit lower DMG for FG. But nothing too dramatic. | ||

I am tired of the semi-professional SC2 players shouting from the heavens that SC2 is dying the LoL is taking over every time some piece of news comes out. It gets old fast. I am tired of people calling David Kim an idiot because is not reacting to the community’s demands and waiting, which is what the community asked for previously. Of players whining that Blizzard is not making the game easier for them. These interviews were the first interesting piece of news I have read on TL. The rest has been community non-sense. | ||

Win rate doesn't indicate balance even if its 50/50. If half the games are an all in from p like immortal sentry and the other half are massed investors with broodlords with the occasional win coming from just being much much better than the opponent (on either side) then there is something messed up with the matchup. Just because a protoss wins a tournament doesn't mean everything is OK. I hate when people call statistics as their proof of no imbalance. Its the shittiest matchup to watch and to play. SO boring you know what is even worse? David Kim use Overall stats, when he says 50/50 he includes bronze,silver and gold league stats. Who in their right mind woulld include stats from bronze league?. | ||

SO boring He's not saying the stats PROVE that, he's just stating that as an indicator. A lot of people seem to think that Blizzard should give extremely direct answers but is that really good for Blizz? When you're developing something you probably want some privacy don't you think? Him saying that they're keeping an eye on things should be enough. For example if he says BL/infestor is OP, instead of it seems it's OP and that we get a lot of feedback about it, then people will probably expect a nerf and/or everyone watching games vs Z will watch in disgust as even the balancer thinks it's OP. But then what if they determine it's not OP? that would then disappoint players, making them seem incompetent because they change their minds so often I don't understand why so many people read into things so deeply. Also remember it's a translation, exact wording isn't possible. When people scrutinize wording in an interview so much, do you think they'll even want to give interviews anymore?

Wow, totally agree. Seriously everyone just whines too much. QQQQ. You want A then you want B then you want A again and it repeats then you call them idiots for not doing X and Y (responding or listening to the community). This interview was very interesting to me, as it shows once again they know what the fuck they're doing, even if they're not going to be able to fix it so quickly. | ||

Cus Blizz should answer the demands of a bunch of players who may or may not be a vocal minority, and who are mostly all probably lower than Masters. have u seen the stupidity on those forums? | ||

Previous interviews with DK or blogs he's written also cite statistics which are broken down by league, by game length, etc. The whine in this thread getting silly. | ||
