I loved the part on the Catz forward hatchery. Artosis should make it a regular segment for Meta, he can call it Catz Corner or something.

Basically, it would just be Catz forcing the more standard-playing pros/analysts to actually look at some of the crazy/cool shit he does and give honest consideration to it.

That way they could sort of market the show as a look at the current metagame, how its shifting in recent matches, as well as possible changes/creativity we might see in the future. Though it'd be nice if there were a good equivalent for Protoss and Terran as well

CatZ doesnt actually play the same game. I look at some of the shit he does and I am like, "how are you not dying to so many things?!" Love his play though.

Maybe add in TLO and get some of his creative use of units too ... like lobbing some Infested Terrans from very early Infestors into a main base to protect the Nydus worm - you dont need drop research and so on while getting a super fast bypass option for Terran or Protoss walls. Just call it the "creative corner" ...

Catz is also a permanent member. Other than that they seem to vary even though Idra as a permanent member also wold be a nice thing toi have (was never really a huge fan of the player Idra but as a analyst he is great).


Why is Catz a permanent member? He doesn't have any notable achievements, and his team isn't that good either, except maybe for the koreans.


Same reason i'm on a lot of shows often, get invited to a lot of tournaments and management for my team: racial diversity, no one wants to get sued for not meeting the standards.

edit: also im not a permanent member to my knowledge


Catz trolling the trolls, that's some meta shit right there.

Great show Artosis. I hope Idra will be on it frequently, Catz is also a good addition. The australian terran did a fine job as well.

^ One easy solution I see is to announce what races won't be covered in the beginning of the show, so such viewers might opt to skip that episode. Of course, too nice and self-sacrificing (losing viewers) to be done, I guess.

You do realise that protoss involved matchups also have a metagame right? That could also have been discussed..

I am slightly disappointed in this show. I am always thankful for more podcasts to listen to on long car rides, but this show is a notch down from Inside the Game/State of the Game. The show is excellent analysis when talking about the GSL games and builds. The insights on the ramifications of the patch changes was really in depth and interesting. The analysis of the GSL ro8 match was great... But then they decide to spend about an hour talking about weird shit that Catz tried on the ladder, or reminisce on old TLO Morrow builds from the beta.. Please just talk about the metagame and professional starcraft games from people that matter. Artosis, Idra, and Theognis should host the show from now on, because they provided top notch analysis. Moonglade is great too. I guess it would be nice if they had more of a balance between racial discussions, but that didn't bother me too much. As a terran player you get used to being underrepresented on shows lol.

I don't think you have too much to worry about, Artosis is a Protoss player and lovessss talking about the Protoss metagame. He just didn't have any P guests on, which makes it a little harder to discuss PvX matchups when you only hear one side from a professional player
