It is still the case that everyone in this thread still making the case that Protoss is so disfavored has yet to tell us all, actually say it, actually type it out, that in those games where they lost, they deserved to win instead because they played better than their Zerg opponents. + Show Spoiler + SoulKey went 4-3 folks. Not 4-0. | ||

Someone should actually prove that there is a race imbalance, that cannot be explained by players skill levels, decisions being made or luck in things like build orders, scouting, spawn pos. etc (you know, the little things that don't get enough attention).

Not 4-0. First, we need to establish whether such a balance even exists. It would be a miracle if the game turned out to be balanced (by which I mean each race winning around 33% of titles, give or take 5 percentage points), given that the last balance adjustments were made in early 2001, more than 25 years ago. Back then: a) There was no real understanding of what makes a modern map. b) There was no real understanding of the modern meta or build orders. c) Many techniques hadn't been discovered yet, such as muta stacking. As I've said many times before, Patch 1.08 wasn't a mistake in itself. It was a response to the challenges of its time. The mistake was not releasing subsequent patches. | ||

I don't think you can honestly say that your skill is far greater than Sziky's, or even eon's. Yet you are far more succesful. This is because at the top foreigner level, the protoss race is far most robust than for example Zerg is. Comparing your level to the very top level and making the same sweeping statements about balance as if it applies everywhere is just really silly. Actually insane to blame balance for losing in one BSL to the likes of eon and sziky actually, holy crap. :D How many BSL's has bonyth won because protoss is the most forgiving macro race with the slowest build time on units and where lack of multi-task and macro isnt punished as long as you can micro a few units optimally? | ||
