That being said I love playing Terran, played Protoss the entire beta, went 30-12 solo which is pretty bad, used an alt account and went 25-5 trying out Terran for the first time. It's pretty awesome to do any strategy I feel like and still win games through macro/micro. If you take your expansion 30 seconds too early as P, sorry game over go back up your ramp and make more gates plz. You do one extra macro cycles of drones as Z, sorry game over. Yea its next to impossible to punish a terran for a slightly early expo, lift off wtf. And every OC contributes to income, no matter where they are. Mules are not rigged for their income, it's the fact that you can save up 4 per OC if you are defensive and then just x12 mule and roll out a new army in no time. | ||

I haven't seen many games with Cool, but Tester, while being pretty good, is clearly not playing at the level of a decent Progamer. The games I've watched with him he has played relatively solid but hasn't shown himself to be worlds better than his opponents in the semis or the finals. We still haven't seen TvP or TvZ played at the highest levels, all of this "if so and so played T they'd do even BETTER" is pure speculation until it actually happens. The game will be constantly evolving over time, short term and long term. Currently they are at the highest level of play because they are the best players atm along with idra. Watch Day[9] KotB Tester vs. Into the Rainbow is pretty high level P v T. Also White-ra vs. Cauthonluck casted by Gretorp from the Day[9] countdown party was very good as well. I do agree with the speculation part. | ||

I dont even think marauders are a problem If you arent stupid with Marines they ARE the strongest units in the game, they beat every other unit cost for cost because of stim, and have like 60 hp and cost 50 minerals ??????? Id like to see a marine HP nerf or something but Marauder nerfs wouldnt be bad either.. | ||

For the average player (lower level diamond included) terran is indeed imbalanced. It just takes a lot more skill to fend off a terran attack than it does to fend off a zerg or protoss attack if you aren't extremely good. How would you balance a game at the "average players level". Make T worse at higher levels so that its easier for silver and gold players to beat them? That doesn't make any sense. If it's balanced at the highest levels, then the problem with the lower level players is that they're doing something wrong, not that the game is unbalanced. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=korean&type=players&id=15&part=games&league=standard Late 2006 was when he really just fazed out. 2007 he played a few proleague games but nothing much. Cool played about as much in proleague as ITR in 07. Tester is the only one who actually played a significant amount of games leading up to sc2. That's probably why were are excited for players like Up and sangho who were proleague regulars for their team. A-team level is absurd. Really I keep teetering between playing zerg and terran. I like zerg but terran is too ridiculous. Ever single time I play against one I don't understand how blizzard is not nerfing them. I have to say it is significantly worse then protoss at low levels in scbw. | ||

I'm curious because I'm pretty sick of people spewing "imba imba QQ  " and it seems like thats what you're doing. How do you reconcile your beliefs with strong performances by P and Z in top level tournaments throughout the beta? | ||

Plus, I assume Idra is a good enough player to be taken seriously. | ||

Idra's primary quip is primarily with a specific unit composition in the matchup most relevant to him. And to be fair, I agree with him in regard to that--and I've been advocating it's change for a while now. The problem is when people start extending that to virtually every unit available to Terran. An example of this is the marauder--people have been complaining about it since day 1 of the beta, particularly with regard to mass marauder strategies when, as far as I've seen in high level games, overly marauder-heavy compositions are fairly poor. If you face a mass marauder strategy on ladder, you should be happy to take the freewin. Terran is overpowered, but I'm pretty sure that a majority of people complaining about it aren't even losing in situations where the "overpowered" elements are being abused. | ||
