The imbalances of each race is what makes Brood War so much fun to watch.
SC2 is pretty balanced... but it's so, so, so bland.
My personal opinion anyways.
Edit: this is a very great interview. Loved the bit about the volatility in esports. Good question.

For me, the game only needs to be somewhat balanced. Deep racial diversity guarantees some degree of imbalance at certain levels of play.
Deep racial diversity is more important than a tightly balanced game.
I just accept the fact that my Zerg is ranked higher than my Terran. Meh.

I have observed you people for a long time. The delusions are Artosis level. You guys are thinking you play 5D chess while all you play is some repetitive boring mouse clicking without much thought. There is a reason no one in Korea where an actual good RTS was established prefers the 'superior' SC2 game, except for some people in the west that have nothing else in life to feel proud of except being gold in SC2.

Y'know, I explained you already, there wasn't any need to proof my point THAT hard ._.

Ah yes, that indeed is a great reason contributing to SC2 not catching on as big as BW in KR!
Btw great post - will work very well as a copy pasta template

Simple, Day9 and Artosis are the best commentators for English SC2. But Artosis stayed with the game and carried it from the beginning till almost the end. Sort of wished he stayed in GSL for a bit longer like Tasteless, but understand his financial and family situation.
Artosis actually could be up there with the GOATs of SC2 for his impact on the game, especially for English viewership. Just miles better than any casters we have nowadays (no offense to our casters today, who are usually very biased for their favorite players and descriptive, vs less biased and more prescriptive & predictive like Artosis).

Oh shucks, well thanks man, I really appreciate it. It would be hard to not make a good piece when Artosis is the guest =D

A fine interview as ever. I still find it amusing in a duality of man way that Artosis the streamer and Artosis in basically any other setting are like two completely different people

I wouldn't go into the "who are the better casters"-debate, since that is so much more biased than even the GOAT-debate, but it is undoubtetly true that Artosis did a lot for SC2. A contribution often overlooked, as is it with all contributions that aren't just players.

Aye, plus he did a lot of out of game content too. Be it hosting various shows or appearing on others. Even the lesser-heralded ones like In Depth I feel added to my enjoyment of this shared hobby of ours

I shared an apartment with Artosis at WCG Monza at ShuN's place which, each day, had more and more people staying overnight. You basically had to rush to sleep to have a bed with how many people were staying over. He was truly living the dream. Woke up with a massive grin on his face during breakfast (which, if I recall correctly, was just a bunch of croissants and oranges). He's definitely a passionate guy.

Artosis is one of the people I have wanted to interview since I started this foray into content creation. Dan is one of the voices that brought StarCraft to the west, and it was an absolute honor working with him. I hope you all enjoy this chat with one of the Mount Rushmore figures of this community!
