Parting's vP was absolutely stunning and how he held on late game especially in game one against Polt who was on more bases, rallying bio in, etc. was incredible. His zealot harassment at Polt's 4th and storms kept him in it long enough to stabilize.

Oz played well, but Fin's TvP wasn't that awe inspiring and in his series against Polt did the Daybreak quick third base that didn't get challenged at all and then another quick third with a great timing.

It take nearly a whole year for protoss to figure out PvT, now the time has come for terran players.
Did you forget the crying zealot caps?

I was hoping for more parting praising than something than what seems to me will end in "today I lost to protoss on ladder, clearly imbalance" :/

Parting won his late game because he played it really well and his opponents made too many mistakes

You got to be really blind not to see that late game favors Protoss way too much.

I refuse to comment on such things as balance i merely stated that that it is absurd to start QQ over this.
please do not reply if it's a comment on balance have a nice day.

It's reasonings like this that make me convinced that certain Protoss players don't give a damn about balance but were merely upset that no Protoss won tournaments back in the sad zealot days.


err we do, but unlinke terrans we change our gamestyle to something that favours us, trying to match the bio ball early game without area of effect damage is suicidal and thus protoss go late game every time vs the bio ball ... if blizzard nerfs the toss late game maybe they need to give us cheaper ranged units so we dont get kited to death by bio balls

Not exactly.Ppl are complaining for a long time about the matchup.But as most balance changes that have already happened were most often trigered by gsl domination and not from diamond,master or even random grandmaster joes.It's still too early though

The thing is that every race complains about every other race,so you see it's an endless cycle of QQ and one i do not
want to be part of.

They don't really win these days either. MC is the only protoss who won a tournament in 2012.

Is it just me or is there something very wrong with saying that NaDa is back in his "rightful" code S spot only to predict him to drop out of it?

The thing is, there is nothing left to discover, all the counters have been found, you need perfect EMP's, split, kitting, viking to colossus ratio, etc.
It's not like they were a secret composition that we did not have tried already.
Let's use this argument for PvZ then, Zerg crushes protoss with 12 min max on roaches and a lot of protoss stated that every strat have already been tried against it and nothing works. Stephano, the best foreigner Zerg even says ZvP is imbalanced and should be fixed.
Every Terran I know complain about late game TvP. The only perfectly even match up at the moment is TvZ imo.

(..) PartinG showed that nothing the Terran player had done up to then, or could do from that point on, really mattered at all.


I don't quite agree. Polt threw away so many ghosts as soon as he had to start kiting zealots. Had he managed to keep his ghosts, he would've done much better in the late game.

How do you propose saving your ghosts in the offchance you lose an engagement?

Chargelots out, you have to stim to get away and even then you can get poked repeatedly by autohit. You're guaranteed to lose ghosts then.

I know you're kidding, right?

Code S is more stacked than ever, there isn't really weak players like there was 2-3 seasons ago, anyone can drop out in Ro32 right now if you ask me.

I too but with all due respect to TeamLiquid this post seemed more like an excuse for people to start and uproar.
There just throwing more wood at the fire.

Terrans may be rightfully complaining about late game tvp, but early through mid game still tends to favor the terran. This doesn't mean the mu is balanced, but it does make it annoying to see all this terran whining.

Speaking as a T, I'd much rather the MU be more balanced throughout the various stages of the game rather than it's current one. It's quite sickening that most of the time you can correctly predict the winner of a TvP just by looking at the length of the replay.

I really want to see stats on how many PvT's that terran wins are 1base allins or protoss players risking nexus first and getting snapped in half by 2rax.

And then I want to see winrates of games going on for longer then 20 minutes, last time someone did it terran had less then 20% if I remember correctly.

P vs T_T indeed, maybe in HOTS non-Polt/MKP terrans can win lategame TvP.

Well, one thing was we have to keep in mind is that the maps make quite a difference as well. I am not saying Protoss players aren't doing new things to improve their vTs. But I think the maps give them better opportunities for certain comps like zealot/archon/HT. Imagine the games on entombed valley today being played on say crossfire or belsir, I think they would have got quite differently.

Having said that, maps are very difficult to balance perfectly for all 3 matchups. Even in BW pro league, we see maps being a major factor. So imagine trying to balance sc2 maps when the units themselves are undoing changes.
