And you do realize that there is strafing going on there right? Some of those movements are impossible without it. It's especially obvious when either of them blink, and Squirt utilizes the strafing better to move while holding the blink (and abuses walls like he always does) and looks like he won pretty easily.

No. I have not been arguing about whether or not the two communities should converge, I've only been concerned with the sparring discussion of strafing. If the iCommunity complains about being at a disadvantage about not being able to strafe, I have to agree with them. It's a pretty large disadvantage, and they won't be a challenge for someone with access to it.
But let the two converge, whatever. I'll still dislike the platform they're on because it exists at all. As I've already mentioned, having Graal on iPhone makes me feel like PC Graal has been pushed aside, like they want it to just die out and be forgotten. Maybe that's not how Stefan or Unixmad view it, but that's how it feels to me, and others I've talked with share my sentiments. Not everyone of course, but a lot of my friends do, at least the ones who are left who still are my friends. Perhaps that opinion has died out even more - I haven't been able to log on in 5 months now since I've been in Europe.

That was bound to happen, they had to be introduced to it somehow and obviously some PC players would get on the iDevices. If they can't even strafe then they won't have access to some strategies, at least not in the way they're typically used. I'm sure they'll eventually evolve their own metagame.
