There is no mention of which ladder it is in the original article either so I didn't put any in the translation... | ||

The most insightful, seriously, because he is not this insightful in other interviews. | ||

He probably plays on NA Agreed - I think most people are just misreading it and then reading comments and going off that. I don't speak French so maybe the original does say on Korean realm, but as it's translated right now I don't read it the way most people seem to be. e: well, while I was writing that the translator chimed in, so nevermind about the original  | ||

There is no reason to lie. Anyone found out, the payback is too great to take. Remember Jay Wilson? Dustin Browder is also in charge of balance but he admits he is Gold. | ||

Yeah, instead of one beam that kills light units, there are now 3, range increased to 7, base attack doesn't require any energy anymore. Good start, no? More seriously, I Honestly feel it's harrasement's potential need to be expanded slighty, otherwise I feel like people haven't figured the oracle out properly as a support tool. I haven't seen it a lot. | ||

Remember how they said they had a team that kept in touch with the mapping community? lol. | ||

I agree with the assessment of the Oracle's state in the game. Currently, it seems as if it's really not a necessary unit, or even very good at high levels. But I don't think that buffing it is the correct course of action. I think the issues arise from the fact that the unit needs a redesign to feel less gimmicky and bring more to a balanced composition. Unfortunately, the odds of that happening are virtually zero since we're out of beta. I'm worried it'll go the way of the reaper in WoL. Or get too strong from a buff and then get re-nerfed and still go the way of the reaper in WoL. But, we'll see, I'm hoping it doesn't! | ||

Translator note: The original interview does not specify which server David Kim is GM on. Did everyone fucking missed that in the text ? Kim is good enough for GM with 3 races on NA. Korea is doubtfull, but he could really weel be GM with his best race.

He said Terran was his worse multiple times. | ||

I haven't seen it a lot. If they want to buff it then buffing it's support utility would be the smart way to go about it. I can see why it would wreak havoc when harassing in the lower leagues and further buffs there would be problematic but at pro level it's really hit or miss and I think it will only become less effective as time goes on, at least as an opening. When it gets shut down it gets shut down hard. Almost feels like a coin flip a lot of the time. | ||

You don't need a total redesign to make the unit feel good in design (sound weird, right). You can increase its speed. Its current speed is not competitive compare to pheonix and the build time is too long, cost is too much. And the attack range is too short while the damage is too large. Change some of these aspects will change how the unit work. They may look better, in both harassment and expanding to other roles. | ||

It is so unlikely that they are lying. That is like asking to be called out. You don't lie about something that involves playing against the community you are lying to. GM with all three races is very good and I am not surprised at all. I find it sort of amusing that he likely plays against the pros that keep calling him a stupid. | ||
