Is it possible for Starcraft 2 to be balanced at all levels? I view Starcraft as having competitive multiple competitive levels.

1) Low ladder level
2) High ladder (master+)
3) EU/NA level pro
4) KR level pro (obviously some EU/NA are at this level, this is just a descriptive term).

If it is not possible to be balanced at all level, what level should it be optimized for?

I've not been involved in Broodwar but I'd be interested in inputs as to whether Broodwar was considered balanced at all level.

Theoretically, sure. It's just really hard due tot he asymmetric nature of the races.

I wasn't around for BW either sadly, but I've heard multiple times that TvP in Brood War was balanced at the highest level, but that it was harder for Terrans at lower levels.

If it's balanced around the highest level of play it is balanced at the lower levels of play. Just means they need to get better. I

The way you want it balanced though is impossible unless they separately made changes depending on league (Example, if Bronze Zerglings have 75HP, if Silver it drops to 60). Which would still be stupid
When I think of something else, something will go here

You'd need to really define what "balance" is first.
