How is Yellow saying perhaps T is too strong wrong? It's his opinion. Interesting how the top 2-3 players in Korea have ALWAYS been Terran. My opinion is that the game is pretty well balanced EXCEPT for what Boxer did. Yellow was purely trying to balance his opening based on a mix of luck(Obvious by his commenting on positions) and what he thought was best. It's really too bad the maps are designed so that some positions are so close and some are so far, not great map design-_- | ||

Ramps could have helped Yellow in preventing Boxer's bunker rush. | ||

Common people were always saying that terran/protts/zerg is weakest race, it can't win on certian maps, or versus. I remember times when almost everyone were saying that protoss is too weak, and there when noone has expected that reach and ra poped out. The only thing that does not change is yellow complaing on the game itself and weekness of zerg. I remember him saying that in some talk with Bill Roper years ago. It his and only his foult, he is blaiming game itself for the fact he could not win, for the fact he was cheesed 3 times in row. If the terran is reaaly that powerfull, maybe he should switched to terr, and not stick to that "usless" zerg. He should blame his attitude towards the game for his loses, if he really thinks that his chances are lower, and he cant win despite better perfomce becouse of the imbalance of game itself then u got an answer. He already lost mental aspect of the game. I will put it in strong words maybe too strong but i belive this true. Yellow has loser mentality and that is his problem, nothing more. Uh did you miss the part of the post where he says he hates himself for blaming the game? Meaning he knows it isn't the game. | ||

Top 3 hasn't been terran until very recently o_O Grrr-Ssamjjang-byun-hot (I wasn't around then but I think those were the top 4?) Maybe intotherain as well or was that before? I know he never did well on OGN except for his top 8 coca cola.. or top 16 or something ;o Then Boxer-Yellow-Garimto-Themarine Then Boxer-Yellow-Reach-Nada Then Boxer-Nada-Nal_ra-Kingdom Now Boxer-Nada-Oov-Reach-Yellow Yes? This might not be entirely accurate if you just look at the pgr21.com rankings but those are overall, not for the current time ;o | ||

For people who are bashing Yellow for being unprofessional for blaming the game or screaming imbalance, I think Yellow himself realizes the unprofessional nature of what he's saying. No one likes to think that their hours of practice has been for nothing (especially the way it was in the semis), and the natural response due to frustration and shame would be to think that the game must be imbalanced. When Yellow gets over the initial shock, anger, and depression he'll find a way to counter the strat. People keep saying that Terran dominates every league all the time (or the greater majority at least), but there hasn't been a Terran in the OSL final since Olympus 2003. The last ITV league was won by a zerg, and although the MSL has had all Terran champions but one, we also have to consider that two players have won 6 out of 8 MSL/KPGA leagues (Nada and Oov). | ||

I did read the whole thread and my post was directed to people who were either bashing Yellow for being "unprofessional" and blaming the game, and people who were agreeing with Yellow's statement on Terran imbalance (which I think was just a product of Yellow being angry and ashamed, not his true feelings) and cited Terran's "constant" dominance in leagues. | ||
