EPTThe only question is how big of a differential there is between terran and zerg in terms of difficulty. It's not a big deal, and I don't think anyone can put their finger on that exact difference, thus these threads are pointless.

I've played most of these guys, and if these guys are on the same level as the top foreign zergs and toss players, I feel pity for us. Strarcraft is the most balanced RTS for a reason; there are good terran players, albeit most seem to be from Russia... but in terms of difficulty -- terrans hardly win anything at the foreign level. If you read the recent news post on gosugamers.net, Artosis was dead on -- with practice time being equal, the Terran will be at a disadvantage.

A2 used to win shitloads when he cared to play. Androide can beat anyone. Ex is a beast too. You remember how many chinese terrans are out there? Pheonix( i think thats his name), Super? These are top notch players and they do win A LOT. What about Idra? he just destroyed one of the best foreign zergs in humiliating fashion. FUCK, Strelok, Tarson, Raven. arerials is on the rise, theres many many GOOD terrans like nyoken, nesh, artosis himself( he might want to be in the upper category), sawyer etc i believe you were the one who stated how hard terran was, now you saying these threads cannot be solved and are pointless lol! | ||

To reach the level of being good enough to win foreign events, a monkey could see that the climb to that level has been harder for Terran players. Your list looks like a list comprised of 90% fail... as they don't aid your point at all, assuming you were trying to make one. Idra couldn't win TSL. Idra couldn't win USA WCG. The list goes on. That is not a slight or a bash against Idra; I believe the underlying reason behind results like that is the same reason terran is winning this poll for "hardest race." My opinion is in the majority, and for good reason. Before even attempting a rebuttal, should prob try to examine why you are wrong. Because, personally, I don't care if you can't see the obvious. | ||

I say terran is the hardest, you say... there are good terrans, so you no longer have a point. A pointless circle. It doesn't take much practice time to knock off most of the these terrans you name. Most people are able to agree that the races are balanced in terms of potential strength; most races, statistically, have a winning edge in a mu and a deficit in another, leaving the balanced mirror mu.

SIR artosis qualified to wcg world finals from usa 2 or 3 times,. so did nyoken, so did yosh, so did froz, so did lastgosu. They all terrans, SIR doesnt take much time to knock top terrans out and you played all of them. LMAO shut the fuck up. /ninja edited | ||

So I'd say T at an intermediate level and zerg once you start getting good. (P.S. Toss is harder than T at B+/A- :p) | ||

Well, that's a no-brainer then. I'll definietly gonna play protoss and get easier wins! But, you know, somehow we don't see protoss winning every single game. Starcraft is extremely balanced and I think every race has an equal number of players. Are you guys saying that intermediate players that play T or Z are somehow better than the P players of the corresponding difficulty level? | ||

while zerg for example just need to 1a2a3a and terran just needs to press o for siege or t for stim without clicking a spot on the floor like with storm | ||

Anyway, speaking for terran I could tell you that it's a lot harder than just 'pressing o for siege or t for stim' without even clicking a spot on the floor... because most of the time you're clicking several spots on the floor. Unit spread and placement is essential to a terran more so than a protoss IMO because what a protoss should be doing for the most part would be building his army so it can proceed to push as one great force, where a terran must be able to counter that army. Believe me, if a terran just clicked the move button and 'o' for siege to counter any army, the terran would be decimated without having killed hardly anything... | ||

Try reading the topic, based on votes you'll find more than half of the people here believe terran should not only be considered but that terran is the hardest race. I can't really understand the rest of what you're trying to say. | ||

Oh wow what are you talking about? That is a perfect arguement for your post, you claimed that the race which has the most diverse builds based on matchups is terran and Dazed disagreed and said that zerg is the most effected by matchups. Oh and zerg is much harder, zerg is the only race where you can't bolster your economy and army at the same time because they both require larvae which are limited at any given point in time. | ||
