This just seems strange to me, and I hope someone can explain without calling me a noob, which I am, but I want to learn. Everyone has got their opinions.. but really terran having 4 out of 5 bonjwas tips that maybe just maybe terran is a bit stronger at high levels of play. And there is no such thing as complete balance, balance nowdays is achieved through map pool and as maps are constantly changing balance shifts a little too. | ||

Well said. Balance highly is dependant on skill level. What I've experienced is that at a lower level, Protoss is very strong compared to Terran, cause of the APM required to play terran. Then you can always argue that the player could have countered <that> with <this> or do better scouting. | ||

On a more serious note... ACE is doing great. The Team is Solid all-around.  RuBy, firebathero,  Much, M18M,  GoRush, ggaemo, and Iris. I think for the first time in the history of ACE they have a balance of each race.I would not be suprised if they were at least in contention for the 5 spot in the final weeks of round 6. I'm a SKT fan, but I think we're finally seeing Hite Entus show promise. When these teams merged, I felt Hite Entus became the top dog. Too much depth on that team to not win the PL. | ||

No game is inherently "balanced", and "balance" changes over time given the strategies dominant given a time and the maps and the player skill level, for once, but I think in general it's possible to argue at this point it's beyond just maps and players. Having a good Terran player is actually necessary -- although having a good Zerg or good Protoss not as much so. | ||

When I read this line in the article I spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out what it means, but literally it's just claiming Terran is OP?! Good article but I don't see any reason to include such a lame statement at the end :/ | ||

Hope STX keeps winning until the end of R3. I have no data to back me up, but I fear for STX in R4 and R5. | ||
