I really don't understand it either, but I assume they do not 'need' to compete with other live shows or something. Hope your show is good, will check in on VOD if there are any and maybe live some days.

QQ'ing about infestors couldn't possibly be half as ridiculous as your grammar.



Also, I'm guessing the platinum player is there to provide a lower-league viewpoint on the topic? That could be a good idea - but I dunno, I don't see what a diamond or below player could really contribute to a discussion like that.



No offense to the platinum player, but I'm likely to disregard everything she says unless it's common sense, or backed up by someone in masters.



Having said that though, if her contributions are along the lines of "Infestors are a really big problem in the lower leagues because most terrans aren't good at marine splitting", then I think it could turn out quite well.

DoomsVille Profile Joined August 2010 Canada 4829 Posts #12 I like the idea but I strongly encourage you to make sure this show doesn't turn into a balance whine clusterfuck.



I certainly won't tune in if it is just 50 people calling in to complain about how infestors are ruining their life.



Now if this turns into a discussion about how to effective use infestors or try to combat them with HTs or ghosts or something else than I'll be more than happy to give my tuesday evening to you.

Sheekthief Profile Blog Joined April 2010 United States 267 Posts #13 I have a feeling this thread might end up as a circlejerk. Since this is mostly going to be a balance related show (if not, I REALLY need to sleep), I think most listeners are just going to argue. Then again, if more people argue. That means more post, and more post mean more bumps and publicity.



Amazing work guys, thinking about the community when you thought up your show!



On a more serious note, GL, will tune in if I don't miss it. Commentator at RageQuit.tv | www.RageQuit.tv |

Koshi Profile Blog Joined August 2010 Belgium 33283 Posts Last Edited: 2011-06-14 09:27:31 #14 I will be very surprised if this will be anywhere near decent. Even Artosis/IdrA had a hard time trying to make a legitimately show around imbalance, and they are the 2 best analytically minds in Starcraft II.



And to make matters worse, they are going to talk about the infestor. Probably the hardest unit to understand in the zerg arsenal. They need to understand zerg perfectly. To give an example: the road towards 4-5 infestors combined with the knowledge that a 200 army from your opponent is always stronger is an important weakness of the infestor.



And how do you talk about 1 unit? You always have to talk about an entire race. Even if you single out a unit than you need to place this unit in an entire race. Otherwise you get retarded theorycrafting.



Then there is a Platinum player in an analytical show. Strange?



Then there is Kelly Milkies who I hope learned a bit more about SC2 than her casts on GoMTV where she claimed things like "protoss not taking a second gas before gateway finished is strange". However, I have some faith in her.



I hope it will be a success. But I doubt this will be more than a no-brain-drama-show.





Your goal is to have a serious discussion about infestors I hope? Otherwise ignore what I typed. I had a good night of sleep.

Koshi Profile Blog Joined August 2010 Belgium 33283 Posts Last Edited: 2011-06-14 09:26:58 #15 Could you please tell me why you picked the infestor as first topic to discuss? This unit deserve so much more than to be the first tryout in a new show.



I guess that it is the most controversial unit this point in time. But still rarely used, If you watched the GSL/NASL/MLG, you would see that zerg their gameplan was never centered around the Infestor, except for some ZvZ. (Idra vs Zenio in NASL and a couple Slush games in MLG)





Why not pick a unit like the marine that is completely figured out. That is the center in 50% of the Terran early game plan, and that contributes to the complete Terran domination for 8 months now.



It boggles my mind. I had a good night of sleep.
