If I wanted to play Protoss going Immortal, Void Ray and Carrier people would laugh at me: but going Marine, Banshee, Viking is "creativity". Creativity has nothing to do with effectiveness. Creativity is willing to try new and non-standard strategies. In that sense, his unit composition is pretty creative, regardless of whether it worked or not. The fact that it did work can be for many reasons including balance issues. But there's little doubt that TLO is creative. | ||

But since they all can get away with 50 flavors of cheese for an extra-low opportunity cost and playing at 50 apm lower than the zerg they all do it. Guess who's the better player in the end? The one who sticks with Zerg. Most Terran don't even deserve half their wins against Z. Yeah because playing early reapers while taking care of your economy and expanding takes so little APM. One mistake and all your reapers are dead. Sure they might be a bit too strong in the beginning vs Zerg at the moment but it's not like it doesn't take micro to use them properly. Zergs were just as cheesy back in the beta before terrans figured out how to beat baneling busts. | ||

Its really really easy to compete as terran right now. Easy to take early aggression while still prepping for midgame. meanwhile zerg has to fight there ass off just to keep their drones alive. | ||

Yeah, just imagine the other races trying to be "creative". lol Just watch Dimaga trying to all-in nydus to get an idea. | ||

Dimaga is easily "more creative" or "as creative" as TLO - but his race holds it back. Just like Whitera is probably just as creative, but Protoss has such fragility with composites that you generally only have 1 or 2 options causing Protoss to be shut down so easily. | ||

Rofl, I have two kids around 10 years of age and they are good enough to micro reapers and do damage with them. Retreating up/down a cliff is rly hard, I know. And expanding? rofl.. most every Terran 1-base for the longest time ever. They don't really even have to worry about expanding for a very long time thanks to lolmules (another hard macro item to keep up with as T) keeping them competitive. | ||

You had to see this announcer at work to understand the situation. (slightly upset that i was warned for the troll picture, that was the entire point of discussion) anyway he is a native German and he would interview the players after their games, however his bad English (a cover?) combined with a cocky attitude made for some pretty BM situations. as Bad Binky said, in the Hasuobs-Lucifron game, even tho Lucifron won, he still gets eliminated. so the announcer said in front of the crowd, with both players right beside him "Well we have 1 winner but really we have 2 losers" there were many more examples of such blatant disregard for etiquette but i cant quote with accuracy, so you're just going to have to wait until it hits youtube or something. | ||

Yeah, it was the last round when both of the players was eliminated from the competitions. So he was pretty spot on actually. One won the game, but both was losers. | ||

Lets just ignore where the units come in the tech tree and make a stupid comparison, sure why not? | ||
