Protoss, why do you hate me?

Protoss is EZ-mode, thats what they all say. We've all heard the 1a2a3a jokes, heard Artosis rage about how he hates them. And thats why i play protoss, my barely 140 apm and C- rank can only handle toss. And yet, it just isn't the same for me as it is for everybody else. I can carpet a zerg army with swarms, (Just like reach), and NONE of their hydras will die. I can attack 4 lurkers with 2 dozen zealots and they will all get slaughtered, unlike in progames that make lurkers look as fragile as water balloons. 2 dozen of my probes can all go to one mineral, and my spamming stop and attack move fails to take out 4 zerglings when some players can take out 12. Goddamn it protoss, why do you hate me?

yeah after 9 years i have nearly every hotkey memorised for every race (and i've played them all about equally) but toss is the only one i can win a single game with on iccup, definately the easiest race, although there isn't anything wrong with that, imho.

C- is seriously really easy to get on iccup now, i could offrace with terran or zerg with my 80 apm and easily get it, have done it before. just because a race is easy at the lower levels for some people doesnt mean its an easy race. all races are balanced equally as shown on the pro level, which is the only one that matters.

Lol, if you ever win a standard TvZ at C- with 80apm please save the rep, until then shenanigans

do you understand the point of low APM play? its to play NONSTANDARD. thats how you survive low apm, not by being standard -_- maybe thats why people with low apm struggle for the most part. TvZ i open 2 port wraith, or fast tank rush, etc. thats how you win games on iccup with low apm.

Well good luck getting better with non standard play.

I always figured the point of ICCUP wasn't to necessarily but to get better. Winning doesn't really matter until tournaments.

With zergling micro I could probably 5 pool my way to B- if I wanted to... only to get my face raped off when I try to play standard at that level.

Terran is so much fun.
I place 1-2 turrets and tanks on my cliff while I expand.
Then I proceed to place more turrets in my base and tanks.
After that, I mass up to 2-1 while I harass Protoss in any way possible with vultures that have 3 mines each.
After the 2-1and massing up (oh so fun), I decide to push out.

Protoss is not EZ-mode and how fun each race depends on the person.
Stick with whatever you feel best; don't let anyone else tell you so.
If Protoss is EZ-mode, I expect to see more Protoss in the top 30 KeSPA.
Oh wait, there's like 6.

lol gj judging me without ever watching me play. My macro actually isn't that bad, (although not perfect) its just that sometimes it seems that lurkers have 5000hp or something, i dunno.
