Translator note: The original interview does not specify which server David Kim is GM on. also dont give a shit about inhouse things ^^ it depends on the level on your enemy, if me as master play games with my paltin/gold friends i can even lose sometimes cause i play fun things etc ... hard to see skill if skillgap is to high | ||

NO you lose 0-100 to them by far far far .... and its even huger in korea most pros play intern and not ladder so if its on kr and not us server DAMN no does it mean anything with less then 500 games i was master in korea and if he is playing alot then why not GM ? low gm means NOTHING (good players are master because kicked out not play few days etc) so again to make sure, being GM not means your pro and it can still mean you lose 0-100 to EVERY to pro not only flash or life even 0-100 vs gumiho your argument is so ... AH DAMNIT Dude, yes, if you are EU.GM you're absolutely winning some of your games against Ret & Socke. It's, at the same time, a prerequisite for being GM. The fact that Flash&Life may not play ladder I have no idea about, they were just names that were thrown by the person I quoted. You can insert any top10 KRGM names, it's the same. | ||

Dustin Browder is also in charge of balance but he admits he is Gold. theres like over 6 interviews were dustin himself says he's masters, even going as far as to say he can take on a pro in the early game. For all ignorant ragers sharpening the pitchforks i am not defending dustin just calling this out. As someone said before me, probabbly most of the balance team is masters. Does that mean absolutely anything? NO | ||

you don't get kicked out of gm in the season right? He obviously doesn't play 3 races equally, but he can squeeze his best race into GM, then play the other races whenever he wants because you don't get kicked out. For the borderline accounts (like last 20% of GM) I always thought the issue was who played their games when GM opened up for the ladder season, which hint hint david kim may know the exact time that blizzard opens up GM plus there is probably some bias for GM for accounts that were in GM the previous season, so it helps that he probably got GM accounts the very first time GM existed and has since continued. | ||

The team believe that Void Rays are currently slightly too strong. But the development team prefers to wait before modifying this unit. Only Blizzard logic... | ||

Does that mean absolutely anything? NO DB has said several times he shifts between gold and platinum. Also did not say he could take on a pro in the early game. He said he could mirror a build a well as a pro in the early game. When asked about the comment later on, he clarified that was only if he was left alone(IE, no pressure). I love the selective memories of the community. "DB said this thing once that was dumb and kinda unclear. He later corrected himself and said he misspoke, but I'm gunna ignore that second part" | ||

It can also just kill you if you don't pay attention.We saw what happened at IEM and dream is definitely not a bronze player. It's similar to the banshee.Now imagine if banshees could kill so fast... | ||

If we are being honest, there were too many lower level players there (as proven by LG-IM rising to top four - very embarrassing for foreigners). We will need to see top level players against top level players, I'm talking Code S level. I think the fact that the Life vs. Flash showmatch turned out to be so epic was not a coincidence and I have not seen ANY player that compares to either of those players yet. I think there are enough top level players coming up in MLG where we might get a better idea of where HOTS is at. Code S finalists or code S ro16 also which player vs which on? Which day they played, was it rainy? Which food they had, did they feel good and didn´t they eat too much? Wasn´t the studio just to cold? And then is the player base now in code s really that good and wasn´t the performance of players of last code s not just better? Serious data if people want to find one person that is allowed to talk about balance. | ||

It doesn't say anywhere GM in Korea, as far as my knowledge goes he lives in the US, so he's probably GM in the US. Not to mention it may be GM in HOTS were he DESIGNS the game for a living. He's bound to know a few things that people don't. | ||

its not that hard to comprehend. Some things may be op/too strong at the highest level but fair in every other bracket. Most extreme example is marines vs baneling dynamic. Everyone can a-move banelings, but different skilled terran will have very drastic out come | ||

And low GM is really really far away from top GM's. The gap in MMR is close to silver to masters from a top GM and a bottom GM  | ||

Nonono, you missunderstand. What they're doing now is good for the game. WoL came out and the nerfed everything so quickly that units like the Reaper and Voidray became so awful nobody used them anymore. Do you really want that to happen again? It made the game stale as anything. | ||
