Either way, people saying protoss is easy doesn't matter. We have already seen over the past year that zergs just complain about other races because they think their race is the hardest to play. All that really matters is how they play at a higher level, and right now they seem to be relatively close to balanced. Ya I think saying that any of the races are easy to master is completely false. | ||

At higher level, Protoss is quite hard to play as it is very fragile and doesn't really have some strong macro mechanic (except CB and late game 20gate instant warp-in). | ||

I know of no cheesy strats that Toss can abuse to Masters. I have seen the 6/7 pool threads. I have seen the Marine/SCV all in thread. I have seen no threads describing master's level protoss cheese that works against T/Z? The only way to cheese at master's level is against other toss where you can either Korean 4 Gate or Cannon rush. | ||

But in SC2 I think there is far less of a gap between the races. FAR LESS. The only easier part in my humble Gold Level opinion is spending. When I'm protoss its far easier to not float on minerals (I main zerg). And this is made up for by the many other difficulties that accompany the race | ||

The only way to cheese at master's level is against other toss where you can either Korean 4 Gate or Cannon rush. 4gate vs. P and 6gate vs. T/Z? EDIT: Most people are going to say purely 4gate against all races but 6gate is stronger and not that much more difficult to execute. | ||

Isn't 6gate considered all-in? Not just a timing attack... | ||

I disagree that's it's cheese but it's slightly abusive and you can use it to get to masters rather easily. | ||

If anything ZERG is a 1a move attack win race (not trying to diss on zerg, zerg is still hard and you have to macro very good). And then they say Protoss is then OP when we have the lowest winrate. Yay Storm vs EMP/Stim/Kiting. I'd take storm any day. | ||

It has to be a timing attack - only idra talks about 2 base and 3 base all ins ^_^ | ||

Also I find Protoss to be least forgiving in terms of losing the game from 1 mistake, if you lose map awareness for just a moment and let a drop happen or let an emp go off or miss a FF or let an enemy army run up into your face, it's GG right there and then. Seriously,without constant vigilance, any dropship that unloads in your base will almost always be more cost efficient than whatever you send to kill it and it often cripples you right there. | ||
