Is it problematic to the point it would disrupt Premier/Major events, is the end problem there. Open cups are not a true depiction of what it could potentially cause. I have yet to see other active players strong enough to attempt a true random. | ||

I think it's impressive, but it is potentially problematic, maybe depending on maps it could be more of an issue. I'd be ok with tournaments requiring race-telling for random. I think race picking for individual maps is the real problem but currently nobody is doing that | ||

Playing random start to end may be a little cheesy, but I don't think it's an actual problem. | ||

Race picking within a single series is very problematic but thankfully seems to not be the route he's trying to go anymore. Agreed, there's no problem at all with random. If playing random would be an advantage we would have multiple random players but it's a huge disadvantage having to learn all 9 matchups | ||

And I also have a more of a problem when Reynor doing off-racing and random, lost the game, and his fanbase are making excuse for it, like he only lost because he was off-racing or doing random. I am sure Reynor doing his best whether what race he does, so he does not need any excuse. | ||

If Reynor was winning this last IEM and being a God in all the tournament he plays, then sure he should switch to off-race or random to spice it up. But Reynor hasnt done very well even with Zerg, so why he want to switch to other races, is it just for publicity?

I am simply speaking my view and how I feel about the matter. If Serral was deciding to play Random suddenly, or Maru want to off-race Protoss tomorrow, I would say the same thing. | ||

They get dicked on hard when they don't hit their main race, and if they don't then congrats on them. They played their offrace so well it took down a player who only focuses on one. That's impressive as hell. If you think random is an advantage then you haven't played it. | ||

For me that some players like Voltz are making this a worse thing that it really is is the funnier part of the non-controversy. If it was THAT problematic then ESL would have already ruled about it. | ||

Tell me where Protoss is supposed to put their first Pylon against Random and I'll tell you why you're wrong. If you think Random is fair then you haven't played against it as Protoss. EDIT: Random players choose to put themselves at the supposed disadvantage of learning 9 matchups. Their opponents shouldn't be punished for it. | ||
