For Zerg it's Infestor/Brood, and for Protoss it's Archon Toilet backed up with Stalkers and Immortals with a sprinkling of other units. It's just stale and predictable. Mid-game is alot of fun with different timings and whatnot but any ZvP going past the 20 min mark usually ends up the same way. Nothing to do with balence, just how the matchup is structured. | ||

These flaws make it so a player can beat another player who is better than them through sheer luck. And I'm not talking about cheese, I'm talking about build order poker and things like that. There are coin flips in this game and more than one pro gamer has said this. That's why it's especially important for tournaments to avoid Bo1 at all costs. Not sure what that has to do with my post. Merely saying that if imbalances do exist, he should be able to recognize that a lot of the players he loses to are actually better than him, and imbalance isn't the only reason he isn't winning tournaments left and right. This is his profession, he should voice his concerns about balance and then get back to practicing so that he can be the best Zerg. When he is the best in the world and still loses to Code B Protosses, then he can whine. It's just not the attitude of a champion. | ||

DRG was basically begging nestea not to pick him for his GSL group, because he knew he would do it considering the current state of the game. Uh... that Nestea is comfortable with his ZvZ, which has pretty much been an established fact ever since Nestea walked out on stage for the first time and started to roll over every single Zerg ever? >.> | ||

5-3 is not a lot of games. When I said he doesn't play against Korea Protoss, I didn't mean he never has. I just mean that his daily training does not include Korean Protoss. Just because he feels comfortable on the European ladder does not mean that he would feel comfortable against the best Protoss in the world. This is why we should listen to IdrA, Nestea, DRG, etc over Stephano when it comes to balance/game design discussion. EDIT: I just want to make it clear that I am not in any way saying that Stephano is bad or that his words do not mean anything. I'm just saying that if we have to choose between believing Nestea's (and all the other best zergs in the world) words and Stephano's words, the choice should be clear. | ||

Nestea's best match has historically been ZvZ. DRG is trying to take the crown of best zerg and if you think Nestea's pick had nothing to do with that then you are crazy. | ||

I don't recall him claiming he was better than Nestea, Lucky, MMA, etc. Pretty sure he doesn't claim to be the best player in the world. However he does sometimes lose to players who are much worse than him and he loses because the design flaws of SC2 let players find a lucky window of opportunity to end the game. | ||

How can you say this when he has lost 5 games alone vs MC (and won none). | ||

Although I think it might hurt his image if he switched races and didn't do any better. It's pretty much impossible to switch races once you're this far in. | ||

Even the best ones. I recall MVP saying that Terran was underpowered (I believe it was as he was winning GSLs lol). I recall MC saying that Protoss was underpowered and if he played Terran he would have already won 4 or so GSLs. Heck, even Artosis has whined about balance once or twice... | ||
