Currently the oppression leveled at Protoss goes largely unchecked. Momentum has been allowed to swing against Tassadarian loyals in the ongoing war of popular opinion. Perhaps it is because Protoss enjoyed a streak of domination not yet completely faded from recent memory. Perhaps fans are anxious for Bisu to die so there is potential for even more ZvZ and TvT. Perhaps it's just that Protoss players always seem to be the most handsome. Regardless of its motivations, this modern attitude suffers from reckless neglect. It neglects to recognize that Protoss dominance was bought at a high price. Before the reign of Protoss there was an era of inglorious defeats, the beleaguered knights of Auir were forced to settle for silver or bronze if they were fortunate enough to take the stand at all.

Finally, with the Protoss Dragons, years of hardship culminated in successful conquest, but the legacy of toil and strife that formed the bedrock for that conquest has been tarnished or forgotten. The victorious stood in fortifications mortared by the congealed blood of the fallen, and yet the memories of those slain had already been abandoned. Even as their shining days fade to twilight, a noble people are slandered and vilified. With only its great champion, Bisu, actively deployed in any league, where will Aiur look to find hope for the future?

Who among us has the courage to become the Artotoss? Who will fight for and achieve a new batch of maps? Who will seek a final patch to Starcraft that finally repairs ZvP, reaver AI, dragoon AI, and automatically hands a blue screen to players who use all-in hydra? If no individual among us has the courage to take these hard stances, then surely we all stand idly by as three hundred minerals of ridiculously overpowered adrenal zerglings tear apart fifteen zealots and a nexus in the blink of an eye.

Even if I overlook the spelling error and try to read this, I'm not quite sure what's going on. If your grief concerns the "Protoss is easy" sentiment, your words are useless. Protoss' lack of success at higher levels has not been able to convince people that they are difficult or weak at lower levels. Until the majority of low level players reach C+ and realize that doing the same with Protoss demands effort, Protoss will always be remembered as that race that lets you macro tough armies with ease and roll over unskilled players.

Just remember it's pronounced "EYE-ERR" so the i comes before the u. ez way to remember the spelling of the sacred protoss homeworld.

And so we’re met with the tart taste of defeat beget by the recurring downfall by our noble champions, whom struggled and earned in the toils of defeat their place in the pantheon of greats. How ironic that their struggles would lead themselves back to the furnaces from whence they came. Brazened by molten defeat their intensity grew until finally their bastions were strong enough to usher fourth and crush the likes of Jaedong and Flash. Bisu was his name. He gave hope to us all. Now he stands, knocked out of both celebrated events, subjugated further—a distant underdog to Jaedong—he’s no longer our phoenix in the fire. He’s a blackened stone, heavy and brooding, destined to sink in the great sea of today—the Zerg; the Terran.

So basically there hasn't been a Protoss bonjwa?

You're joking?

Yes at high level play, zerg and terran have had more success than protoss, but the margin is so narrow (a single map change in a league could shift the balance another way) that any one of those things would break the game.

Someone should refresh my memory, but wasn't the reaver AI intentionally dumbed down because strong reaver micro was becoming too good?
