Any single balance remark or non game related argument after page 77 gets an insta 2 week ban. It's mindboggling that I still have to state the obvious.
Christ stop the amulet whining, SC is playing terrible and wading through storms like its going out of style. The dude sits on 2 bases every game and goes mass bio, but does not attack before storm, he deserved to lose 100%

This.
sC was badly outplayed in both games. Saying that Amulet is the reason Zenith won is extremely disingenuous.
there are many noobs commenting... but the first game san was really saved by the amulet, without it templar tech tree is frakked against bio balls... so protoss will avoid it and instead simply go more colossi... and terran can spam vikings at will with reactor.... in every game because they will expect always colossi (no more diversity and uncertainty)

Terran was playing behind the entire game and the funny thing is without amulet, protoss probably loses.
Without amulet, you can't rely entirely on warped in units, and actually use real production facilities (Robo / Stargate). Players should be punished for losing their powerful units. You also can't say "without amulet, protoss loses" because Protoss won't play like this without amulet.
Not that these are good games to complain over, since sCfOu himself is only using racks, pretty boring playstyle (both of these styles clashing bores the hell out of me)

you're wrong.
They weren't boring, there was pretty much constant action in both of them. Unless you find turtling interesting. San made some mistakes early in game 1 but otherwise his tactics were great. sC looks solid and has good micro, but is getting out-macroed and out-thought by San.

because san didn't win the game based on amulet. he won the game based on his economic advantage the entire game yet people are complaining as if it were the amulet that won the game for san and that sc should have won otherwise.
also despite a big economic advantage the whole game, its very possible that san loses the game without the amulet which makes getting rid of it stupid.

But San plays so smart, and terran really have no idea how to play against toss players doing this style. And plz dont just say mech. That is the same thing as saying the nydus network is the solution for zergs problems.
ACtualy Sc could just get an SCV, go build 2 factories, add techlabs and get some siege tanks. He was too busy trying to abuse the Ground v Ground ability of Marauders, which I don't blame him fore. Mauraders microed well in a large concave does destroy most ground armies of Protoss
Siege tanks means less ground army, and San already had the counter on the field (Chargelots), as well as having two buildings that could produce even harder counters (Robo and Stargate).

i prefer to stay out of pvt balance arguements.
but really.....no difference? 2 extra gas geysers and 8 more minerals nodes to mine makes no difference?
im sorry but please if your going to argue about balance please think before you post.
