HuK uses colossus 90% of the time no matter how late the game goes, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've seen HuK use storm. Okay fine, although Huk uses storm in PvZ every often. There are still many high level players who always transition into storm if colos is not working for them (too many vikings, corruptors, etc) You'd have to be a fool not to recognize that HT's are one of the strongest units in the game. Just like Blizzard has claimed. Nuff said... | ||

The EMP vs storm discussion is also stupid, this really has been discussed to death already. The best way to look at balance is just win % over the top divisions over hundreds of games, the most recent statistics showed P still winning more then T so it is probably fine. A good thing to remember is also that T probably has a bit more top players then P simply because T WAS stronger in the previous patch. It takes time for racial distribution among the top to sort out really.. If blizz see's any problem with EMP they will probably adjust it, perhaps changing stalkers from 80/80 to 90/70. | ||

But he wasn't as good as Sangho or Tester. Who happen to play on higher level earlier. I don't say anything about balance. I just find it stupid saying that terrans are better because they are former top BW players. This is not a good argument. JulyZerg sucks at SC2 btw | ||

Strangely my observers don't die (only the first 1 gets sniped 80% of the time), could be because I build more than 1 and spread them over the map and don't follow the T ball so that he can see it... | ||

It could literally go anyone's way. Quoting myself from. page 4. Looking good so far. | ||

Going a counter build order should net you an advantage yes, but not an almost guaranteed win. It was the first time I watched Starcraft II (after years of bw...) so I probably have no right to speak, but in the case of this "banshee auto-win" it just seemed to me that Genius took an awful lot of time to react both times... and sending the second banshee was a pretty smart move, even the commentators were like "it's strange to send this banshee he's gonna need it to defend" | ||

It was his build that lost him the game as the cloak was ITR's advantage. He played the game as if he expected ITR to always open with double rax bio. But I do agree with you when you say that Nex got outplayed in the last game. The void rays just didnt do their job and too much was invested in them. Imagine if he used those resources on zealots legs and more colosos? | ||

Apart from that, the main problem I see with Protoss atm is that the margin for error seems so incredibly tiny that any small mistake may insta-lose you the game, which seems to be less the case for Z/T. | ||

He probably takes a 4th at that point and who knows where the game goes from there. He lost the game before that on a Thor rush, which worked perfect. When I watch these games, I try to pinpoint the moment where one side wins it or the other side loses it. And most of the times when watching the games it isn't like "Oh wow he just abused that unit/imbalance and won." Usually there is a clear moment, where one person makes a mistake or else they could have won the game. The Thor Repair BS probably made a large difference as the units just stared at the Thor instead of attacking anything. Although he was very unprepared and might not have done much better in this case had the units been designed to kill SCVs if they were in the way while attack moving. There are other times when it certainly makes a difference and the proxy thor push wouldn't be nearly as strong without that issue. Isn't it intuitive that zealots should hit anything along the way to the high priority target while on attack move? If a player actually clicks attack on the thor with zealots, their mistake, but it's silly the way it is. Blizzard hasn't even said if they intend to fix it. | ||

I wouldn't be surprised if they nerf storm and don't change Terran at all. If they do that it will probably be the final straw that makes me switch races. | ||
