All the Terrans complaining on the LR thread for last night makes me feel a little bit better. Protoss was the forgotten race in WoL the race that was never OP...

I feel the reason protoss was never OP is because we are not good enough at whining- zerg had Idra, terran had Avilo, two absolutely dedicated balance whiners, but, apart from the odd comment here and there, toss players were just way too noble and didn't whine enough.

Sign me up. Protoss are noble, they don't whine ! But they're sad :`(

Is it time for an MLG Protoss Championship for the first time since mid 2011?! Please let it be so.

I feel like joining this after watching Oz get ripped apart by Revival

I wonder if Terran are going to stop whining about PvT now? Probably not...
I wondered if Protoss would stop whining in general when 6/8 of the quarterfinalists and 3/4 of the semifinalists in WCS EU turned out to be Protoss, but I guess I have my answer now.

I guess Protoss can't win any major tournament.

I didn't realise that disliking Maru was whining about balance, but whatever... Perhaps learn to read before commenting..?

A Line like "Wonder if Terran are going to stop whining about PvT now" is a balance comment, no matter how you feel about Maru. And since we're nitpicking; I never accused you of whining specifically about balance, just of whining.
Also, isn't "disliking Maru" an oxymoron?

And since we're nitpicking; I never accused you of whining specifically about balance, just of whining. Also, isn't "disliking Maru" an oxymoron? "Protoss is not overpowered" ≠ "Terran is overpowered" It may well be a comment on balance, but it certainly doesn't constitute balance whining. It's actually the absolute opposite of balance whining, given that it's a comment complaining about balance whining. I'm simply sick of seeing Terran players bitch about PvT when Terran is doing just fine. As for Maru, the last time I wrote out how I feel about Maru and his playstyle, I was banned for it. I'm not going to fall into that trap again  EDIT: Oh, if you were commenting on whining in general (you could construe my comment as "whining about whining", I suppose) then you wouldn't have required the 6/8 comment etc. so I wholly doubt that was your intention. If it was then you should consider how your word things more carefully, so that your point isn't misconstrued.
No offence, but right back at you. It's hard to interpret a comment (especially in THIS thread) that goes like "It's awful that a Terran player won, Terrans should stop complaining" as anything else than balance whining, or at the very least, Protoss self-pitying. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with racial self-pitying (I indulged in that myself during the BLInfestor-era in WoL), it just felt odd to me to comment on the awful nature of a lost regional final in a thread designed for shedding Protoss tears in when another regional is completely dominated by the race who's fate this thread exists to lament. Protoss are doing awesome right now, so I didn't expect there to be any activity in this thread, let along activity about how horrible it was that Maru won WCS KR.
Not that I was offended by your post or anything, I just thought it was weird to complain about a Protoss getting second place in a thread about how poorly Protoss are doing when Protoss are not doing poorly.
But maybe I've just misunderstood the purpose of this thread and posts that essentially just say "it sucks that Rain lost, I'm not a fan of Maru" are to be expected here, in which case I'm sorry. My experience with this thread is based around Protoss players complaining not just when a specific player they like lost a match, but when the race is (or is perceieved to) not achieve enough results. With the Protoss representation in WCS EU, now felt like a strange time to complain. Hence my reaction. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Rain loss was really saddening :`( but overall sad zealots are getting happier recently :D But this might be the beginnings of a future disappointment so let's prepare !
