I dont think you understand what micro means... A protoss player having good forcefields *IS* the protoss player having good micro. The zerg players micro would be not getting trapped and not engaging in disadvantages positions like in chokes or on MCs ramp. If the ff goes down and the zerg is trapped that means the micro already happened and the protoss players micro was better. | ||

It seems like if Toss wins it's always because of the race, never because the player played actually good. Think about it. I think it is kinda the opposite. If this was say another Protoss that just happened to play this well, then the balance would complaints would come out of the woodworks, but just because it is MC, there isn't a lot of leg room for people to complain even though they want to. But again, it is one of the more unfortunate casualities of the perception of imbalance in the community, good play by the race that is "op" and poor play from the race that is "not imba" is often overlooked. | ||

Please put your balance talk in the b.net forums. Also you realize that in that match forcefields never entirely eliminated all micro from battles as burrowed roaches are one of the few units that move through them. | ||

At no point in any of the games he won was he remotely close to losing, he always had his units in the right place, never out of position, always the right units. This attitude is poison in the Sc2 community people are more ready to choose imbalance as the reason for a players success over skill, which is just stupid. Zerg players are particuluarly guilty of this, and I think its due to a really vocal minority which since early in the beta have been hell bent on convincing the community that zerg is this shitty race that just somehow bizzarely happens to have all the best players top to bottom. The only reason they have any success is because they are the best, and if they played p/t they would never lose a game. Seriously even mediocre ladder players are possessed of this ridiculas notion. MC is just that good. Or the the majority of zerg players, as well as non-biased, non-zerg players (I wonder what race they play) focus their attention towards protoss for a reason. If the very majority of balance complaints are directed towards a particular matchup, with other mathcups' complaints being much lesser in frequency, it may point towards that particular matchup looking very uneven at the current state of the game. | ||

MC is just that good. Its true that MC is good, and i think nobody is taking something away from him. But the thing still stands that no zerg atm is even getting close in too getting a shot for winning a major tournament. Also following you're logic, that means every zerg player is 2 steps down the rest of the races in terms of skill (wich is wrong). | ||

I mean morrow couldn't have gotten outplayed, there must be something wrong with the game instead right? Except that we can't tell the difference between what MC is doing and what Cruncher or any other protoss does. Build 4 unit types, spam FF, be in the right position. Why shouldn't protoss ever have to mix it up? | ||

People need to stop doing it as protoss get better at forcefield this kind of army. The combinaison of Forcefield and 9range Colossi is so perfect against midrange units. | ||

MMM just gonna kite Zealots all day, Zerglings and baneling just run straight to Protoss expensive units. And if you think FF is easy to do? Try it, 1 miss FF could cost you the game. It's not easy to get such good FFs as MC is placing, but it honestly isn't the hardest thing in the world either. They're still impressive though. | ||

It's more about the idea that watching Roaches burrowing away for their lives over and over again makes micro battles boring regardless of balance. | ||
