I recommend NEXGenius play Zerg since he's whining Seriously though P's anti-air is crap, and stalkers are just not cost-efficient compared to roaches, and gateway units get rocked by any stimmed bio | ||

I know a lot of players make their living from this game, so balance is more important to them than anyone. It's just that it fuels the masses into going: "see! my race is UP QQ" etc etc. It harms the community and adds unnecessary fuel to the fire. And whilst toss might very well be UP, I can't help but be cynical about their motives for making these announcements. If you're planning on switching, why not just keep quiet about it? huh? its not like they are running around saying, MY RACE IS UP, IMA CHANGE !!!! No. Its Genius that wants to change and asking fans which would they rather him change to. HE HAS ALREADY MADE UP HIS MIND TO CHANGE HIS RACE. That is very different than Genius asking "should I change race?" | ||

Maybe there will also be a tiny buff who knows.. Anyway, I just fucking hate when they cry like this.. Yeah who'd expect a professional sc2 player to talk in the open about a major change in his career, directly to the community. Why does this annoy you? He' just simply put why and what he's doing. I personally just fucking hate when people cry on forums at players who've done nothing but talk a little to the community. Shame to see Genius go T but there is a problem atm and he's got his own game to think about. | ||

He wants to make money from it. And that post obviously contained no whining. It was a really short post. Besides, if you thought you deserved to be top 4 in GSL based on skill but found yourself being knocked out earlier based on what you perceive to be imbalances, I would call you an idiot for not trying to argue your case. | ||

Whilst it's clear that he didn't put it quite like that, I would say the gist of what he said is exactly the same....and I don't have a massive problem with it, I'm merely saying that it ends up justifying a lot of whining on forums like these (which is a bad thing imo), regardless of whether there's a balance issue. And please...there's no need for caps. | ||

on an anecdote, i don't remember at all more than one bw progamer complaining about their race and threatening to change, the only instance i remember was chojja (to t) back when maps made zvt near impossible (nostalgia, gaema... yeh). | ||

When you look at GSL percentages it's Zergs taking places from Toss, not Terran. But it's terrans that knock out protosses. And they do it because of the incredibly imbalanced early game PvT. | ||

TvZ has shifted the pressure on terran to do something or lose. Previously it was about zerg staying alive vs dying within the first few minutes. | ||

It's so obvious the only reason they do this is not because they believe in the balance they proclaim but only because they are looking out for themselves and want an easier time winning shit. The worst thing of it all may just be that people actually logon to TL and use the opinion of these players to support their balance whines, even though it's pretty damn obvious none of these players actually have a clue about balance and just want their own race to be better. In a way I'm glad it's a Protoss doing it now because now if I yell at him I won't be attacked by angry Zerg and Terran players saying that it isn't my race that is underpowered. | ||
