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!
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.
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

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.
Special vs Showtime vs Nerchio would be the best balance talk, if you know what I mean Don't ruin this, guys plz. Don't vote for neeb or serral, they are too shy and ain't gonna talk shit.
i feel like people think its about gaming instead of balance DISCUSSION... the players beeing voted for arent the best at talking about the game i feel like.
Showtime & Serral seem like reasonable people, but from the terran options there is none.. maybe Kelazhur is not a balance-whiner, but also not on the same level of play/knowledge as the rest

Yeah, all my hype for this is gone, looking at the poll.
Hype gone? Serral is quite up there currently still, no? What the heck?
Yeah and it's about talking and having a discussion, not about Serral playing. That's why I don't really get the votes.
I'm talking about Serral talking and having discussions. It's all about the (sometimes subtle) hype, and clearly some people yearn for it after getting a taste of it in the past.
Yeah, for this to be really interesting to watch, it needed to be Showtime, special and nerchio. People seem to have voted for the best players, which is not likely to make for an interesting discussion when 2 of those players (neeb and serral) usually have very little to say.
Edit: to be fair, Scarlett it's actually winning the zerg poll and she usually has at least something to say.
