Apparently the problem is that the bracket doesn't fully display. If you do a Find for Group 32, then the whole thing displays, but otherwise it cuts off after group 12. And it only ever shows like 7 groups at a time. So it's shitty web design rather than incomplete information.

I think all of Valve's servers are literally unplayable right now. USE and EUW at least are having the same constant disconnect-from-Steam problem. It's great being in a teamfight and seeing everyone start moonwalking for about 10-15 seconds before the game lets you know you've been disc'd.

except for the patchzerg time, its almost unreal to think there was a time where protoss wasnt by far the best race.

There were also the Terran times, way long ago, back when in the dinosaur times before anyone knew how to build range Collosus and cannons.

PROTOS OP FOR LIFE, SON!

Yeah, after 4 years of "remove forcefields, redesign warpgate, fix Amove deathball" I had to not go to TL prime any more. Everyone was just regurgitating the same dumb arguments, it was like the human centipede of balance arguments.

Protoss won the least number of titles on Wol iirc, they just seemed good because toss was and always has been garbage at QQing about how weak their race is to get buffs.

I think for a long time many of the Korean players were pursuing suboptimal playstyles, and the ones who weren't weren't as good. Basically everyone wanted to be MC even though only MC could do that. If more people had done the deathball thing, instead of being seduced by 4-gate aggression, Protoss probably would have had more success.

scroll down to WoL, basically the first half of 2014 is the only period in which toss actually dominated

They weren't used to it after BW.

(I'm mainly talking about the D- - C+ level of play though)

But thats the era where Terrans truly perfected the art of the balance whine. Thread after thread about the socioeconomic factors of being a terran and being driven from the ladder due to the emotion damage of being beaten by lesser plays and the long terms effects on their college prospects. It was a sight to see.

And then that piece of crap came out about the era of PvZ craft and I checked the fuck out of TL.

While terrans were probably more individually talented at balance whine, the problem is that they didn't have the teamwork to see the work through since every top terran had different things to whine about. Despite the overall skill gap between the T v Z whine matchup, Zergs ended up victorious by unifying as a race their QQ to create a game where the Zerg is expected to 1. always have the econ advantage, 2. always have free, perfect scouting, 3. has the strongest lategame composition.

To a point where blizzard basically gave up and said fuck it new game.

You're correct. 'toss had at best a few months of dominance every time a player came out with a cool new build. Terran was extremely broken towards the start of WoL (mostly due to maps), and then Zerg was getting pretty broken towards the end. There was never an extended time where it was Protoss everywhere.

Protoss lots their footing the the balance whine war once the collective argument became that warpgate and forcefields were horrible flawed things that ruined lifes and destroyed relationships. After that, any attempt to complain about balance would be derailed by design discussions. Its a blow they never recovered from.

protoss was always the easiest race by far which made it the most ridiculous race
literally a mentally retarded chipmunk with 3 fingers and no belly button could play toss into GM

which made the game so unbelievably frustrating
