Good Mid-Game all-ins. Best Harass capabilities. Rock solid defense against all-ins. Heck, there is only 1 Unit in the entire Game that is a little hard to counter for Terran (Templar).. And even this unit has a very clear counter (Ghost). = Profit. User was warned for this post | ||

Now, there probably is a core of better Terran players, given the Metagame's current state, than any of the other classes. But it also seems like the Protoss & Zerg players have to be considerably better than their opponent to win. An "evenly" skilled Terran seems to have an advantage. But maps could easily change all of that. | ||

Source: http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/league/all/1/all The argument about Terran being strong in the "early meta-game" and Protoss and Zerg players not being mature is just silly. Silly, silly. Terran is clearly OP, specifically marauders, stimpack, mules and planetaries. But how can Terran be OP if most people in Master leagues are Protoss. I mean, you cant say "Terran is OP because most people getting far in GSL are Terrans", while saying "Protoss is not OP, even though most people getting far in the leagues are Protoss". Imho its the maps. | ||

-Protoss Players are still very much stuck on all-ins and cheeses -(Most) Zerg players seem very unstable Terrans succeed best because from my POV they play the best, solid, macro games out there. This season protoss players who try to play long macro games seem to just do the wrong things: Genius teching too fast(I think?), some guy killing his army into enemies (don't remember his name, metapolis phoenix/colossus protoss guy), and one protoss fast expanded...and lost when his terran enemy sent ONE marine and ONE marauder. Terrans do better because they have a better gamestyle. NOT because "terran is overpowered", but because the zerg and the protoss have yet to find "the right style", IMO. | ||

Terran has been overpowered since release and the only reason people aren't crying more about it is that lone Zergs won the first two GSL. The first GSL was still an indication that Terran was overpowered (Terran domination in the brackets) while the second GSL was during the few weeks in October that represent the only time that Terran didn't dominate. The same can be said about the foreign scene: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/individual-leagues This was after a balance patch that Terran players needed a few weeks to figure out. The last few weeks represent a change as well as European Protoss players have been doing very well. | ||

I'd say terran strategies are just more refined right now. Well, the Korean masters is 37% Terran and 35% Protoss, to be specific. So the argument "More players pick T, so more T succeed" is faulty. Which is why it's strange that it has 24% of the votes, at the time of writing this. | ||

Blame the terrible maps, as per usual. Blizzard isn't exactly known for their map making prowess. | ||

But we're talking about the gsl, so http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=170463 tells us; Code S Race stats 14 Terran (43.75%) 9 Protoss 9 Zerg and Code A Race stats 13 Terran (40.6%) 10 Protoss 9 Zerg Sure it shouldn't mean that 7/8 of Code S ro8 are Terran but still. | ||

Terran late-game is a lot better than people think. I've played games on Shakuras where the Terran had me by the balls by macroing and doing good drops. It's just that late-game Terran is mechanically demanding, so they choose to win early instead. | ||

Somehow I can't imagine him doing that with Protoss. That would be a teamkill and I doubt that they'd do that. It'd be pretty stupid to have a teamkill in the regulation matches if you can choose your opponent. | ||
