wouldnt it be interesting if each game of the trilogy tilts the balance towards the respective race of the game? So in the first game T is slightly OP, second game Z becomes slightly OP, and in the end P becomes OP. And then after that they fully balance the game.

Kinda cool and kinda shitty at the same time as it makes me not want to start playing till all three games are finished and all the balancing is done. Plus the 180 dollars.

Your and every other person-that-thinks-he's-smart-with-his-comment-but-in-reality-is-not logic is flawed becuase same could be done for terran in any game. And I GUARANTEE you that in a lot of times a Protoss player will make less mistakes and his BO will be more polished but he will still lose. Yes, everyone sucks and makes mistakes atm, this includes Terrans. The issue here is that equally skilled Protoss and Terrans are worlds apart in the ladder rankings due to how much easier mode it is for the other. 700 raiting Protoss, by skill, is around 900-1k Terran.


i assure you i have played several games in the diamonds league

err, I didn't even doubt that. Doesn't really change my point I think?


Let me give some insight here, Fakesteve can be one of the less skilled players (no offense) but his understanding of the game is equal if not exceeding Day9's

More Blizzard lulz
[image loading]


72-8

605 pts. o,o


edit: When i think about it now i guess that this guy might have played his full 50 games of training league so i should not blame Blizzard without more info ...
22-8
605pts seems legit.

Otherwise the system is completly broken.


edit: people told me that training games aren't recorded so i blame Blizzard.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

From my experience, when you start off in platinum the ladder matches you with diamond players from the beginning in case you belong there. It starts matching you with lower leveled players once you start losing matches it think you should win.

And when I looked up XlorD on sc2ranks I came up with this http://sc2ranks.com/team/180767
Strange indeed.
