Protoss is just beyond ridiculous. I'm sorry to say that, but Phoenix buff is just not reasonable by Blizzard. And if you say its because MorroW commited to the roachrush, its not true. It can look absolutely the same even with hydras on the field, since you can just lift up everything and Hydras suffer even more from Phoenixdamage.

Im sorry to say, but Ace is just better than Morrow in this series. Nothing to do with Imbalances.


He raped IdrA the same way. With what was the Phoenix buff reasonable? Its a 200 HP (80 Shields, 120 HP) unit , fastest in the game with a very unique ability. I don't see the reason why you would buff its building time when it was insanely good to begin with.

Also the Colossus - the other tech tree - 350 HP Range 6 in the beginning, range 9 after with 30 AoE damage. Its just ridiculous and Blizzard just nerfed the wrong stuff with the Templar. (well it was the right nerf, but the nerf was too hard while leaving the Colossus WHICH DOES COUNTER EVERYTHING(!) better than its designed counters better than them untouched) -_-

Holy damn, you sure like whining. I always see you in these LR thread complaining about imbalances and why the german player didnt advance bla bla bla. Yeah, sure you obviously know better than Blizzard, who has 100 000 matches of data to go by to balance the game. Why don't you aply for a blizzard job?


He is not whining but stating his opinion, and it is widely accepted that PvZ is broken! even Protoss programers say it (Hell even Ace himself said it, check Artotsis interview!), so ......

Plus blizzard makes mistakes and are constantly balancing the game. look at the amount of times they have been tinkering with the bunker alone..

My point being: Stop talking about balance all together. its useless. Focus on improving your own game because if you're losing, it was YOU who did something wrong, not anything else. Watch the replay, analyze what you did wrong, what could've been done differently etc. Being stuck in this "Pheonixes are just too good" mentality does nothing but hurt you in improving.


lol i bet you wouldn't say that to idra


I would :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

Tell me that doesn't describe IdrA to a T. And most of the TL forums for that matter...


Yeah, unfortunately you're the "unskilled person making poor decisions and reaching erroneous conclusions" when evaluating Idra's performance as a progamer.

It's for CS and QL. CRT screens are pretty much mandatory for pro players.

That whows how much they care about SC2 then, when no pro gamers play on 4:3 in Sc2.

sponsors shouldnt take streaming time like this


You must be joking. Do you think the event would be possible without the sponsors? Either they get their 10 minutes/day promoting their product on the stream and you get an awesome tournament to watch or you get nothing to watch at all. You choose.

Sponsors - and especially electronic sponsors like Intel - should do it much better / interesting than having two guys talk about it ... which is rather boring. Make a video or have some pictures to illustrate things and most certainly dont have one fake lack of knowledge. "Oh that is a wafer" ... that is something every kid nowadays should have recognized.

Having people of such differing height always makes interviews awkward and thus .... get these guys a table and two seats.

Just my two cents on how to improve this kind of performance.
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.

Tell me that doesn't describe IdrA to a T. And most of the TL forums for that matter...

Except IdrA is the actual progamer here, and you posting this "cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions" is the exact definition of this.

Just stop insulting progamers. IdrA isn't even allowed to defend his opinions.


I actually edited my post, before you finished posting yours.

But to elaborate, believe it or not I was a big IdrA fan until a few weeks ago. I rooted for him in the Jinro vs IdrA match and was massively disappointed when he lost. RIGHT up until the point where he said in the post-game interview "zerg is broken so I didn't bother practicing very much".

And I'm still a fan of him, despite that. I just think he displays the following characteristics from the wiki link.

"tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they can be trained to substantially improve."
"IdrA crushes the marine push, absolutely demolishes this 2 rax play. Would not be suprised to see a GG from IdrA at any moment" Day[9]

Uh, yeah sure if you can get your hands on one of those pricey lcds which support 125hz. For a LAN event it makes a lot more sense to just stick with cheap crts for fps games.

I'd say idra's about 4:1 favorite as white ra isn't anywhere near to his beastly performance before he decided to take a break from sc2. Still rooting for hin though!

Someone please LR!
