State of the Game: IdrA vs. Day[9]

[Gifted]

So let me get this straight....

The conversation is no longer about the original subject matter itself... which is Day9 and Idra's thoughts... but now is a conversation regarding the imbalance subject that was kinda averted from? Alright, I can follow that. To those peeps who have been core to the conversation thus far, would you be so kind to answer a handful of question for me before I hop into the water?

Some basic questions:

1. From the core debate crew: Is Idra's claim that there is an imbalance of "early game scouting" being contested by any of you? (to confirm)
2. If it's being contested, give a 2-5 word summary as best you can to say otherwise (You can explain the meaning of those words in paragraphs afterwards, I just want to see it put into a very condensed form to reply to instead of giant walls of quote boxes.)
3. Do you have any solid ideas for solutions to the problem in your eyes? Or is this something that might need a more drastic change, that could be introduced in HOTS?

I know this is an odd set of questions, but I'd like a more focused set of information to help hop in on this. It'd be nice to FULLY understand where all three (plus) people stand on it so i can cackle with the victors and stand tall over the defeated! MWAHAHAHA....ahem.

Just kidding, I'm really curious if you guys can put it into simple terms to possibly improve communication/understanding. I see too many claims of "you aren't replying to what I mean".

1) Yes. I disagree with IdrA and think that there is no imbalance in early game scouting.
2) All races have this problem
3) No problems, so no solutions needed :P

Might want to take a look at our interview with the devs. David Kim comments about this

OMG, he said that zerg might have problems with early game scouting.

They also did "hint" that Idra do rage.

I did, and David Kim agrees with TheRabidDeer. All 3 races have problems with early game scouting - not just Zerg. And, he also said that time is the best solution to this matter because zergs (especially) aren't scouting / preparing for certain possibilities as they should. They tend to deliberately ignore 1 or 2 possibilities during early game scouting and die in the next 5-6 minutes. So, I wholly agree with David Kim and his assessment. And, b y proxy, with TRD's observation.
