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 believe Polt have commented on TvP balance in the Mr. Chae pre-game show

Mr. Chae : Who do you expect to meet in winners match?
Polt : Oz
Mr. Chae : Why?
Polt : Because his protoss.

I've been thinking about pvt for like the last 5 months, because one of my teammates cries about it constantly. I sort of think TvZ and the 1-1-1 is the reason terrans are bad at TvP. What I mean is in TvZ the game has become so standard and terrans are used to that, they aren't innovating a ton. In PvT we see new styles created QUITE frequently. Immo pressure, fast 3 base, fast storm, colo pressure into storm and storm into 3 base. Terrans on the other hand pretty much go gasless expand into 3 rax starport. In the midgame Terran attacks and protoss has to try to survive until the late game. Suddenly in the late game, T continues to try to kill the protoss, but the defensive adv + splash means protoss wins. I'd like to see a terran try to solve this problem by playing really aggressive like usual midgame, and then transition into extremely defensive planetary's everywhere type style and try to take the map slowly while the protoss has to be super aggressive. Or just anything, clearly Terrans are more content to complain and all in early than to innovate in the late game. Also the 1-1-1. They just stopped trying to do new stuff during the 3 or 4 months that it was dominate, other than the 2 rax reactor/tech lab. Terrans can keep banking on the EZ as hell early/mid game win and keep dying to the late game, or they can try to fix the late game problems.

If you go hyper defensive when the toss got his deathball, you allow him to add countless number of gates and take countless amount of expansions and you just loose. Terrans learn in platinum that if they want to get in higher leagues, they need to put pressure at all costs. If you don't, the opponent remakes an army 10 times faster than you with larvaes/warp ins and you die.

I mean mid game early late game yeah, I agree. But when you hide around PFs warp ins dont matter. You learn in platinum as a protoss that if you attack into a PF you lose.

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

Mods are allowed to comment on balance, remember the tree.hugger post after MC's 0-3 loss to Puma at IEM Cologne?
