Im just saying if you think good toss rarely lose to zerg in a BoX, name a few toss that are better than anypro in PvZ?
White-Ra, Naniwa, HasuObs. They loose sometime, but it's honestly quite rare. Also stats are kinda volatile and all we all agree on that. The reason why Zerg whine about it is because a lot of pro Zerg have been pointing it out, and it definitely feel quite hard probably whatever the level your playing at. The relative "easy race" feeling you get when you play against a Zerg probably has a role (whether it's actually true or not). Also Zerg seems to have an hard time winning a big tour right now (and no IPL doesn't count). EDIT: Show nested quote +Also, GSL stats don't tend to show that PvZ is problematic for Zerg, they're doing quite well in the matchup. P 5 - 2 Z in current GSL tourney. I know it's not significant with so few matches, but 5-2 is not "quite well".
See, this is what I mean. You're so blatantly biased in choosing which statistics to cite and which to ignore, and in deducing results. I was refering to GSL season 6 (the one Nestea won...that was 6 right?), and you ignore that and cite a 7 game sample in a tournament that hasn't even gotten past it's first round yet. Anything that small shouldn't even be mentioned in any balance discussion.
Then you say "Zerg seems to have a hard time winning a big tour right now". Again, ignoring the fact that Nestea just won the most prestigous tournament in the world. Also, why should the IPL be discounted? It had several strong players, including Axslav, Sheth, Machine, Incontrol, and Fenix, Select, and Kiwikaki. Idra beat Select and Kiwikaki in best of series, those are two extremely strong players. There's no reason the IPL should be discounted unless it's because it falls under the "doesn't prove my point" category.
And then you say White-Ra, Naniwa, HasuObs. They loose sometime, but it's honestly quite rare. which is a completely baseless statement. White-ra is 5-2 in the NASL (granted he didn't play one of his games), Naniwa is 4-3, and HasuObs is 4-3. MC is also 4-3, while Ace is 5-2. Meanwhile, Morrow, July, Ret, and Sen are all 6-1, and Moon, Zenio, Idra are 5-2. To say Zergs are having a harder time than Protoss winning important games in general is just wrong and blatantly ignores evidence.
Of course the rebuttal is "well Nestea and Idra won because they're so much better, it doesn't prove anything.". Why is that always the case with Zerg though, and never the case with any other race? Maybe MC won because he was so good. Maybe Naniwa went 26-2 in MLG because he played well.
SO much bias X_X

Yes. At best we can whine about imbalance because this is a god damn fan club. What's up with Protoss players coming here all the time? Do Zerg players buzz at the MC or whatever-protoss-player-you-guys-love-thread?
You know what, scratch that. The solid arguments and walls of text generously given by Protoss players have enlightened me and opened my eyes. I'll never complain again after I lose a match against P and, since I now believe Zerg is OP, I'll give my opponents a 5 minute head start into the match to make it fair.

Wait, I'm a little confused... So you want us to just peace out and let you guys bounce fallacies and biases off each other?
The reason Zerg players don't buzz at the -Insert Protoss/Terran Here- thread as much is because they aren't beacons for balance whining, and if they are, I would have no issue with you guys dropping by and correcting obvious errors in logic and pointing out biases.

He doesn't want to.
Neither does many other fans. Commenting is something, getting some pages of discussion is another... Please, just go discuss somewhere else

Because it is simply fact that NesTea had an easy path to the finals.
He almost got knocked out on the gorup stages, but got lucky and was able to get in after losing to Clide because he got to smash Jinro twice.
Then he was losing game 5 against sC, who made a huge mistake and let 2 of his bases die to mutalisks for free when he was in a game-winning position.
Other than that, he had FD anypro and IncA, where he didn't even have to try.
Yet people will use NesTea as an example of how easy PvZ is for him. It's mind boggling.

Looks pretty cool!
IdrA comes off like a jerk, but a professional one at that.

Okay cool, I play random, but can someone enlighten me why you are arguing about imbalance in fan club? If Idra loses to a perceived imbalance, let his fans complain about it, don't come in and say no it's not imbalance idra just got outplayed derrr, because thats not what you do it fan clubs ffs. They are meant to praise/support/talk about the player, not this crap

Thanks Chill.
So my plans for today are to download every IdrA replay from sc2rep and watch them all in an effort not to suck as Zerg. This should be fun.
If anyone's embarked on this sort of thing before, got any tips?

I agree, but I think it's important to keep the focus of the fan club to praise the player as opposed to denigrate another, this sort of sprung from people talking ill of Minigun etc. which lead into a discussion on balance, with silly points being brought up. Get back to praising IdrA and finding neat mentions of him and what not, and avoid putting down other players in this thread because you may find that people can be fans of more than one player and don't really want to see a thread with unfair shit talking about them.
Long story short, keep this an IdrA fan club, not a hate-group or some shit for other players, "X player sucks shit only does well because of race"...

Watch your own replays first and find out what it is you have trouble with.
Then watch his replays and try to find out how he does whatever you have trouble with.
