Protoss is ez mode compared to T and Z: deny it, whine and theorycraft all you like - it's just fact.

sc isn't balanced. its balanced enough that if you try hard enough and practice long enough, you can always overcome any imbalance.

Sorry Zekk but if this happens to you then you were just way worse than your opponent.
If your opponent beats your force while still having 2k it probably means he had thrice amount of your economy and thus has no problem with it.
If I have 2k on my bank, the Terran's I'm used to face would spank my face around so bad that I'd have to ask for mercy.
Terran same expo as Protoss = Protoss loses.
See Blue Storm for reference, Protoss wins before 15 mins or simply doesn't at all.

For everyone saying about previous years protoss hasnt done well at all, well what if we are at the point when build orders are almost perfected and the metagame does not significantly evolve further? We'll see eventually if protoss really is balanced.

I know that Infernal But they never quit expanding. But toss always got a couple of thousands more in economy even if T has the same amount of expos or is sligthly behind. which is wierd imo. If both plays fe t get's behind in eco. It happens in pro games too, only they can beat it due to thier superior skill.
Koreasilver I would like to see you contain and secure all the expos on python. You know you have only 15 minuts to stop him from taking all the expos and that includs attackings.
Artosis is right but too bad you need 10+ games/day to learn that. We all should get the chance to enjoy this game on equal condition. u gotta agree about that. Just hope it sc2 will be more balanced or atleast favouring T

hum....ok . This needs to stop. We have a consensus here that Protoss is the easiest race at low levels (obviously).

What most people fail to realize however is that Protoss is also the easiest race at the highest levels of gaming. The gap of relative difficulty between the 3 races might be narrower at this level but some facts remain;

1.High HP Unit, Limited Unit special-Abilities ...easier micro
2.Longer unit build time, easier macro
3.Easy expansion setup, easier macro
4.Ability to hotkey your entire army in control groups, easier micro
5.Ability to freely mix your unit composition in each group, easier micro

Do you think that these 5 points do not apply at the pro-gaming level? The intensity of the game is higher, but these facts remain. The difference is that progaming Protosses are doing simple tasks at a higher speed and with better precision whereas progaming T and Z users are doing hard tasks at an insane speed with still higher precision. To say that at the highest level of Starcraft, all 3 races are equally difficult to play is simply inaccurate. Yes, the difference in relative difficulty might not be as blatant as it is at the lower levels, but Protoss remains the easiest race at all levels of play.
