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.
Nostalgia is not as good as it used to be.

at very high level ts balanced .. from A+ to S class players .. from A below, i think the balance deteriorates ..

but some people would say T > Z > P > T or something along those lines ..

but one thing is clear, the balance of the game are decided by maps and players ..

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.

Everyone says Terran imbalance... but everyone knows the truth... the real imbalance starts with P and ends with rotoss.

On a more serious note... ACE is doing great. The Team is Solid all-around. (T)RuBy, (T)firebathero, (P)Much, (P)M18M, (Z)GoRush, (Z)ggaemo, and (T)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.

I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

BW is far from "completely balanced", despite what people commonly claim. 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.

"Terran is easily the strongest race," -- right out of Highways list of awful statements, lol. Stuff like this gets people warned and banned if repeated enough. Otherwise a great writeup.

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 :/

Great write-up, thanks!
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.

I wonder how long it will be before the SKT fans start accepting Shine as legitimate =.=

Great article, though!
