Please try to keep the discussion civil. And while I can't ask everyone to write a huge essay like tree.hugger, try to write out your opinions in a substantive, well-thought way.

Thank you so much for writing this. Hopefully somebody from Blizzard will take note, as they seem to just ignore everything from the Protoss community.

Because of that, Protoss players already use all the thing they can use, we can't do anything more
So, good to see carriers and motherships being used..


Why they progamers so handsome


As if those units would help Protoss at all at the highest level considering their resources and time needed compared to their real impact in the game.
If a Protoss like Mana feels Protoss has nowhere to go, players who are not playing at the highest levels should consider his opinion above their own experiences in ladder play...
The article really made me sad

I have a solution to balance the game. We find a sick child with cancer, and then via the make-a-wish foundation, have the kid use his wish to balance SC2. Then Blizzard will have to listen.

With the game as it is, I simply cheer for any non-terran.

Regardless, it is always fun to see some players being so good that they overcome any racial disadvantage and shine (such as Puzzle or Sage). Also, nice interview.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

I think the article about MC is a litte too harsh. MC is, without a doubt in my mind, one of the top 3 protosses (if not the best). Since his IEM play, I have not even seen any other protosses even try the WP Templar play.

The issue he is running into is that the other korean pros are figuring out their races and discovered how fragile protosses are before key upgrades/units. It's a thought shared by many protosses (Tyler/Incontrol) and there just is not a safe answer to some terran builds - 1/1/1.

I, personally, think that the MC swagger is an integral part of what makes SC2 entertaining. MLG anaheim would not have been the same without that MC-Idra contention. If you have MC in a tournament, you have a frontpage storyline written already. So I hope that MC does not lose his swagger and becomes FBH-2.0

Since when was MaNa a new hope? We knew what this guy was capable a long, long time ago O: He's just been inconsistent as fuck and hell, I'm not surprised considering there are a lot of guys who are.

"The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming."

Even if Protoss is underpowered right now, that means great improvements are up to come. I am very excited for the changes and innovations that will come.
The chair slowly turns around. You see his face, but it can't be. He's not supposed to be here. Not him. Not a Protoss. Not THAT Protoss. MC says, "Hi Greg, long time no see." You back slowly out of the booth. But you can't. It's already forcefielded.

This article was really great.

Watching Trickster (Tester) right now - jesus christ he has had a rough time vs Terran from GSL 1 - but watching him now wow he is underated - hope he comes back from his 'slump' too.

Arcanine is my fav too! i looooove mana!

And what he said about the balance of protoss vs the other races now is so true, he is so intelligent, next stop for me is his fanclub

If MC switched to T he would have won GSL 5 times.

My question is - what would happen if MaNa switched to T?

Both would likely drop out of pro scene. MC is a 2-base timing pusher, that era is terran is long gone.

MC doesn't do 2-base timing push because he can't macro, but because he thinks that it is the best thing to do. In fact, his macro is excellent. So if he was terran, he could easily just macro like the others.

I think its saying if MC played terran he would dominate puma but since his playing protoss he gets owned thats what MC said if he played terran he would win

This whine has aged- it was bound to be taken from the cellar of balance and opened for consumption.
Good read. Well written.
