It's been a long while since I actually played SC2 as opposed to just watching other people play the game. Yesterday I decided to log onto B.net for old time's sake and play a few games. My main race is Terran (because they're OP), of course. Then this TvZ happened. Let me show you exactly how fucking OP Terran is.

At one point in the game I was down to only three units: a ghost and two marines. I thought what the hell, since I only have 3 units I'll just micro the shit out of them like BoxeR would do, it can't be too hard when there's nothing else to multitask. Here's a shot of my ghost:

Let's just call the ghost Commander Shepard to give it some personality (and possibly because the game reminded me of Mass Effect). So I led Commander Shepard and her intrepid band of marines towards the enemy base. The coast was clear, it looked like I could just march right into the enemy base.

Be vewy vewy qwiet

And suddenly....

ITS A TRAP

Fuck! Ambushed by burrowed roaches and banelings! Commander Shepard tried to save her own ass, but realized that personal cloaking was not researched. The only thing to do now is to battle it out! I ordered Shepard to stand in front of the marines to tank damage since ghosts have more HP than marines. The snipes went down:

Never bring acid to a gunfight

Shepard was able to take out a few roaches, but the banelings were closing in. Those fuckers are pretty fast.

They see me rollin', they hatin'

I stimmed both marines and split them in different directions. But Shepard didn't carry any fucking drugs, so her slow ass got hit by a baneling despite my efforts to focus fire them down. Luckily, she survived the hit.

It's like having McDonald's coffee spilled on you

The Zerg player used up all his banelings without killing my units, that fucking noob. So I was able to mop up the last roaches and he GG'd right afterwards.

Manner EMP on the dead roaches

That, folks, is how you kill 8 roaches and 10 banelings with one ghost and two marines. LOL at the people saying that Terran isn't OP. I've already sent the replays to Blizzard, Dustin Browder and David Kim should be getting in touch with me shortly to discuss how Terran can be nerfed.

Peace.

EDIT: the game is Mass Effect for the people confused. It's a pretty good RPG/FPS game, you should try it out if you haven't.

This blog is in no way, shape, or form actually about StarCraft 2 balance.
