(Wiki)World Electronic Sports Games 2017

From Goldmadman:
Hi, everyone, I am a journalist of Alisports. I am also a big fan and an amateur player of StarCraft II. As a great game, I always hope there will be some interesting interviews about StarCraft II. At APAC Finals, I am glad that we invited three best players from Korea to discuss the balance patch. It is interesting to watch them make fun of each other, so Alisports decide to invite three players from Europe and Americas this time (one player per race). Hope everybody can vote for the best player in your mind (good at talking mostly). Also, stay tuned for our tournaments and reports!
Balance Discussion Video featuring (Z)Dark, (P)Classic, & (T)Maru




Which player would you like to see next discussing the recent balance patch?
Poll: Protoss Representative:

(Vote): ShowTimE

(Vote): uThermal
(Vote): Kelazhur

Having both Serral and neeb discuss this would make for an amazing conversation.

If we get SpeCial discussing balance it'll make the Koreans look like the epitome of objectivity.

If Neeb and Serral get voted in, I predict that 90%+ of the show will be the terran representative talking ^^
Nerchio and Special would certainly make for a very funny conversation

I agree. TY literally had tears in his eyes by the end of the balance complaints :X
Also, he had some decent arguments.

Finding some decent arguments is a statistical inevitability when you pull out every argument in the book . Though I do agree--TY put effort into that whereas here we have three players going "no you're more OP".

I would say the most objective players would be Neeb, Khelazhur and Elazer. But if we want to get a shitload of shit we should get Special or uThermal/Showtime and Nerchio.
edit. besides the Korean interview was made before current patch.

Nerchio would definitely the most interesting zerg.

We just heard Scarlett and Elazer discuss balance too. Serral would probably say even less than Maru :/.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Koreans discussing blanace is normally so bad. is it because they don't care and inside them think the game is ok and the hard worker wins? damn.
Bring up the foreigners! :D

Thanks very much to Goldmadman and whoever else for the interview and the translation.

One a completely different note... Classic looks thinner than you'd want to be. Hope he's ok.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

I'm hoping for Showtime since he'd give us some good whining about Zerg to match MajOr and Scarlett's whine whereas Neeb would sabotage Protoss by saying something along the lines of early zerg aggro being not too difficult to hold at the very highest level.

I also think Showtime is just a better public speaker than Neeb. Neeb's a great guy but he can be very shy and humble, whereas what you say about Showtime giving us some real debate is more interesting.

This has the potential to be the most boring balance talk ever

Serral got more votes than Scarlett, didn't expect that.
