I struggle against D level zergs. To me, this is a sign that zerg is actually harder, and the good players are shoved down to the D ranks. but everyone also knows that ZvP is the easy zerg matchup, so I'm going to ignore this. Yes, storm is easy to use, but the timing and guesswork in PvZ make it somewhat tricky in the strategy section. Also, do pure hydra breaks really use more micro than defending against them? PvT is the interesting case. It is relatively easy at D levels because either the terran doesn't know how to macro, or doesn't know how to push. And to be honest, if you have an observer outside their choke, 1a2a3a really does work if you do it when they push out. I am betting that TvP becomes insanely easy for the terran for a while (probably at least to D+) once he learns to push. Plus the fact that the most commonly played map on iccup is python, and although I don't know how applicable it is to D level play, the stats ARE 60% against protoss in both matchups. | ||

Also, in some cases, a C-/C protoss may find himself in an awkward position on iCCup. D+ is almost too easy, yet above that is too hard. Why? It's because they THINK they've got all the protoss mechanics down, they THINK because they have high APM, they hotkey their units, they can type "ww" like a korean. Truth is, there's still so much protoss needs to perfect before they really "master" the protoss race. Because terran and zerg are so hard to begin with, it's harder for them to get up into higher rankings on iCCup. Therefore, because of that, if they indeed ARE in the higher rankings, they must be pretty darn good. Protoss, on the other hand, can face 12-pool and FE tvp up 1/3 of the ladder. That's pretty much when- Eh, I gotta go xD | ||

Reaver, DT, High Templar are all excellent at harassing and can reduce a well-saturated expo into a worker graveyard in a matter of seconds. On the other hand Protoss is a very harass proof race against Zerg, and somewhat harass proof against Terran. | ||

Terran can never 1a2a3a, they have absolutely no chance of winning any battles that way, they have to siege, lay mines, make sure their formation is correct, pay attention of where enemy units are, and constantly use siege tanks to targer goons, and pulling vultures back so they don't get infront and get wasted by goon fire. At the same time they have to also macro;; And for TvZ, terran has to use scan to fight vs lurkers, pay close attentino to vessels, dodge lurker spines, micro dropshpis for diversion attacks, rarely does a terran ever win by only attacking with his main force. They also have to siege tanks, pay attention of enemy's position for flanks, and at the same time macro the quick building marines. what protoss got? cannon for expos, 1a2a3a4T t for storm. | ||

I still can't believe people say toss is just 1a2a3a4a... What do you do with zealots against mines? Do you clump them? Do you have goons in a line so splash owns every goon there is? You know that thing called storm has to be PLACED as well right? Your arguments fall apart because for every advantage there is, a disadvantage comes along with it, which makes starcraft balanced. For example, In TvZ, with the proper formation, micro can be minimalized. I don't know how many zergs actually target marines, but sending two periphery rines towards the zerg peripheries will usually give you enough time to either kill lurkers or retreat. While zerg unburrows and burrows lurks, terran macros. Zerg, on the other hand can macro in one swift move either by grouping hatches or hotkeying potentially up to 15 production buildings at once. Pay close attention to vessels = mine sweeping with goons. Not exactly equivalent, but still takes effort for searching vults/mines (scanning for ultras and defilers) and looking for scourge (tanks) and sending them. This thread is retarded. Yes protoss is easier in lower levels due to their early- to mid- game versatility of the units, but as skill level increases, they all demand similar amount of effort. | ||

And with terran I just did 2fact fast push too d+ so clearly they are a race that requires almost no skill. I am c+ Protoss and with less then 200games of Terran and or Zerg I can achieve low ranks on iccup. Ridiculous how easy Zerg and Terran are. | ||

btw: despite how much i complain i have tried numerous times to switch to toss but failed and always came back to terran, i feel more comfortable handling a group of rines/medics or tanks/vults in comparision with goons/zeals. Plus toss uses goons/zeals every MU, it gets so boring... i can't play more than 1 20min PvZ's in a day, i've tried.. T_T; their simplistic yet strong units just don't appeal to me. | ||
