Nice interview though, thanks for these (: ofcourse the jokepool is bad, it was never intended for competitive play but rather for ladder casuals. Yeah but there were people arguing that the Dreampool wouldn't affect progamers because they would practice Custom Games anyway. Harstem and Solar invalidated that
The fact that two progamers disagree doesn't necessarily make it false. Remember when Rain said Terran was more overpowered than BL/Infestor?

Hmm, I see this as something different. Harstem and Solar are talking about the way they practice, which is something that cannot be discussed since they do practice that way (it's a "solid", "real" fact). On the other hand, any talk about balance can be discussed because you never have facts when you're talking about it, you most often refer to what you feel while playing (like Rain) or to statistics/figures, which aren't facts. Although yes, two progamers aren't enough to make something a factual truth, but you understand the spirit.

Solar sounds like a proper Bro.

maybe 1 out of 100 would like the dream pool, because pros forced the tournaments into using the ladder maps so they can train really easily for tournaments. I wish it would be intentional to enforce a more diverse map pool. But then the two Korean tournaments would have to use their own map pool.
If they do and if the international WCS uses the Ladder maps, foreigners might even stand a chance at 2015 Blizzcon. Unless they have become to bad to do anything by then.

I <3 Solar ^_^
and yeah the dreampool is fine for ladder but I wish they didn't enforce it for tournaments...
|
afaik, dreampool is not enforced in tournaments, it's just a shame that ladder is taking pretty much all 1v1 activity, including practice for pro's, and the dreampool is bad for that.

40-50 games 12hrs/day, holy moly

WCS is in its off season until 2015 so the tournaments don't need to have the ladder maps for their map pools.

Oh well, now then it turned into an interesting thing, because tournament organizers can pick whatever maps they like... again not cool for the pros but fun for us viewers ^^ yay chaos everywhere! it honestly gets boring to have the same 7 maps in every tournament

Solar is awesome. Thanks for the interview!
|
solar is hands down my favorite player.
|
You gotta do what you gotta do to achieve excellence.
great interview olii!

Not surprised he won. Solar seems like he's been working incredibly hard this year. He's in nearly every qualifier and tournament I view.
imo Solar is battling Life for the #2 Zerg of the year.

And Rain was eventually proven right! He is the Jeremiah of our time.

the fact that a lot of pro use ladder as their main tool of practice is enough to say that dreampool is awful...

As far as overall play goes, he's impressed me a lot more this year. Solar is already the second best zerg behind soO atm, in my opinion. He even beat him at Dreamhack, and now beat Parting at MSI. Also did really well in GSL throughout the year. I'd say he's been much more impressive than Life.

Thank you for the lovely interview.
The last question was a lot of fun!

Solar is awesome!
