It is pretty obvious how unbalanced BW, or at the very least the maps used, are at Pro level play. In every series of tournaments you have Terrans dominating and Protoss underperforming. This holds true to most tournaments, as one can verify by looking at the Wiki, such as ASL, Sanpao StarLeague, Copa Latinoamericana, KCM Race Survival, etc. What further demonstrate this are how certain Terran players like Flash, Mihu and TerrOr have significant more tournament victories than any player from the two other races in their respective regions, sometimes to ridiculous degree, as is the case of Mihu.

So the question is, why bother playing Brood wars competitively when ultimately your chances of victory at the pro-level depends on your race instead of abilities, strategy and training?

No one plays the game and all games in the life, if they know 100% that they will lose

StarCraft is balance but players are not

You will understand me soon, in about 2 hours at SSL season 1

Where do you guys watch ssl?
The fellow who is out to burn things up is the counterpart of the fool who thinks he can save the world. The world needs neither to be burned up nor to be saved. The world is, we are. Transients, if we buck it; here to stay if we accept it. ~H.Miller

I was thinking how to beat the flash argument but surely I cannot beat the Terror argument.

It's pretty obvious how unfounded this post, or at least the claims made, is at the TL level. In every series of posts you have humans dominating while chimpanzees are underperforming. This holds true to most forums, as one can verify by looking at the Wiki, such as AmIWell, San Diego zoos, Copium Latinoamericana, HvC Race Survival, etc. What further demonstrate this are how certain humans, like Orxord, IdrA and Moltke have significant more forum victories than any players from the other two ape races in their respective regions, sometimes to a ridiculous degree, as is the case of Orxord.

So the question is, why bother posting when ultimately your chances of victory at the Team Liquid level depends on your race instead of abilities, strategy, and training?
