Forget about tesagi, there should be a word for how hard it is to dominate with protoss. | ||

Its like the skill ceiling for arbiter play is much lower than what is the case for controlling a terran army. Which means that terrans have room to develop their skills even further and further, while protoss are stuck with their slow arbiters. It would be really interesting to see some stats on carriers vs arbiters right now. Carriers seems to me to be viable, but they really blow compared to arbiters in entertainment value imo. Nothing better than intense arbiter games, while carrier play either tend to fall flat on its ass or simply roll over goliaths if they reach critical amount (there is some even games though). I'm just bummed out about the state of protoss right now. Dont even get me started on pvz... I am not saying that protoss is equal to terrans and zergs, I also think that the race is a bit underwhelming on a pro level, however, I think that the bigger issue is that protoss no longer has ace players like flash, last, soulkey and larva. Bisu was probably the last one, Stork never managed to really come back, Rain doesnt put effort in it, the rest were always medicore, for pro players I mean. | ||

Forget about tesagi, there should be a word for how hard it is to dominate with protoss. As I just wrote, I think its both, but we need ace players vs ace players to assess how much protoss as a race is lacking, hard to judge when medicore players play vs Flash. For example in TvZ when we watched Last vs Larva finals we could see more accurately to what extend TvZ is really balanced, assuming that broodwar balance has always been about the best of the best. | ||

But you have to ask yourself the question why player slike last, soulkey and larva managed to become ace players. Because they certainly wasn't before? Why isnt rain putting in the effort? | ||
