With this map pool zerg is strongest easy, because Prion and Korhal should be unwinnable for an equally skilled protoss and terran. With a kEspa map pool, I think protoss could get more scary. | ||

Maybe after the Liberator nerf there will be cause to say Zerg is second strongest. | ||

It doesn't make sense if the strongest race is the least played race. Some could say fun is more important but there are a lot of people in sc2 who are happy to play whatever is the strongest not the most fun. people dont raceswap to FOTM during an expansion, thats ridicilous. I think all races are pretty balanced now but protoss seem to have a slight edge in PvT | ||

I really think balance is decided by the meta and mappool right now. Of course there are phases in the game where one race is stronger than the others and some units are too strong compared to others, but that's how sc2 is designed and overall it seems very balanced to me right now. Just because Protoss in theory has an almost unbeatable late game composition it does not make them imbalanced, since they are weaker in other aspects. Well that's my opionion. | ||

Just because they are the least played doesn't mean they aren't the strongest, meta game shifts either chases people away or brings them back, if protoss remain this strong I guarantee we will see more protons on ladder. Being the least played race means that ladder protons players get plenty of practice vs Terran and zerg, while Terran and zerg players get comparatively much less practice against protons opponents. It is nonsense yelling protoss being easy to play if you did actually try it. Z is easiest in micro by far and Protoss has the least tolerence of any mistake | ||

Zerg has a very strong late game and in fact I don't know how to deal with a maxed hive army but Terran finally got a unit that could deal with mass mutas and terran can still do mid game timing so the matchup isn't as bad as PvT. I have no clue about PvZ though. | ||

I completely agree with you everyone believes that just because a world championship tier player won with that specific race/faction the believe that one is currently the strongest. It's not so much the race/faction you play it's the way you play and know what to play when to play it. | ||

Just because he is a top Protoss player doesn't mean he is incapable of playing badly or unbeatable. I just saw a Proleague game where he made an obvious bad but small mistake, paused, tried to blame it on the hot keys, delayed the game about 20+ minutes, came back obviously tilted and got massacred by Solar ( a player he should rightfully kick the shit out of imo). Give Departure some respect as well, he's still a Kespa player. | ||
