According to facts and tournament results Terran is the weakest race currently. I feel there are certain things that are definitely strong no doubt, but nothing *imbalanced*. But I would like to hear your reasoning though, because no doubt because you are a far better player than I am :D | ||

But it still sucks that he can barely make the top 20 when he used the dominate NA ladder no problem. | ||

I see zerg players adapting to early pressure better and better, for example reaper rushes seem really ineffective now unless the zerg took a risk and played super greedy. | ||

He knows about it, he commented about it on stream. Sorry, you can't use ignorance to justify his poor play on ladder. He gave props to TB and Genna for it and for having interesting ideas in general. | ||

A good Zerg player should not lose drones to the standard reaper (12/12, 12/13 etc etc), and the Terran player is also delaying his expansion or tech to get the reaper out. no thats simply not true at all ive seen plenty of GSL games where the Terran jsut plays normally but with a gas first and makes reapers from a normal barracks every Zerg knows that if you scout terran gas first you have to get speedligns out asap and even if it does slow down there expansion its still always worth it | ||

Even if you lose a couple of drones as zerg with a standard 12 rax reaper opener, who cares? The fact that terran put got an early gas and put it into reapers easily makes up for it, you can easily drone up behind it knowing that nothing will come your way anytime soon. If anything, reaper openers are getting LESS popular as zergs figure them out. Widow mines are a test of skill, watch Life or Sniper in the GSL to know how to be extremely cost effective against them. With time, zergs will only get better at it. If you want your random mid-level players to have an easy way around widow mines, tough luck I guess? If anything the matchup is much more fair now, the zerg needs to split against mines while the terran needs to split against banes, both demand a ton of skill and APM. The MsC I rarely even see as a crucial unit in tournament games. Sure there are cheeses that use it as an advantage, but overall it is a small advantage at best, and strategies very rarely revolve around it. | ||

Even in the later stages of WoL when Zerg was destroying the scene he was still complaining about Protoss or Terran drops etc etc. How can you talk about balance when the race distribution is awesome - Zerg is even doing pretty good. By his logic Zerg players must be twice as smart as the other players because they win even when the game is imbalanced. I really hope IdrA can just chill and have meaningful practice sessions. Hope to see him at the top soon. I think IdrA meant aside from BL Infestor, because he never enjoyed it. | ||

When engaging the terran army and you have seen him go mines, assume there are mines everywhere. See, that wasn't so hard? | ||

See, that wasn't so hard? not being able to engage his army for fear of mines isnt hard, thats correct but having to lose because you cant engage his army because you cant set off the mines because you dont know where they are because of his army is hard to swallow | ||
