Z, Z, P, T, P.. so ? well MC did what MKP did for terrans. MKP figured out a style that ripped Z apart and made his 2 rax opening standard for everyone, his playstyle was a giant impact on the metagame of TvZ. MC figured out lots of things.. both for PvZ and PvT - and now we are slowly seeing the results. more and more protosses are streaming in and even BoxeR and MVP are considering a race switch to P. I know lots of pros when whine say stuff like that (FD said he was gonna switch change too) but I can understand their frustration. When you spend 9+ hours a day practicing something and then don't get the results because of the "balance" can be tough. I am not by any mean the biggest IdrA fan boy, i do like him as a player but I perfectly understand his frustration when you completely out-macro your opponent, 11 mins into the game you double his supply and got the entire map and then few mins afterwards with WAY less supply.. because of the unit composition you loose EVERYTHING  it's hilarious because Blizzard at Blizzcon said "We want Zerg players to win by out-macroing their opponents, not by quality-like units but by quantity" but you can see through IdrA's games and many many others that it is not the case. I feel P has the most abusive builds at the moment and they can do SO many things. T at least has got reapers, flying scouting buildings and scans, Z players have to play in the darkness for a huge portion of the game.. Just sayin'... | ||

Seriously, Code A is beginning to look better than S. just give everyone in code A a couple hundred bucks a month as salary, better to spread the wealth to help keep the talent coming up than sloodge it all on the finals. | ||

Don't think you can instantly get in without a qualification (especially if you're Korean). | ||

it's hilarious because Blizzard at Blizzcon said "We want Zerg players to win by out-macroing their opponents, not by quality-like units but by quantity" but you can see through IdrA's games and many many others that it is not the case. No you can't see that through Idra's games, because those that you are talking about he must simply being outplayed (strategy, macro, etc.). Don't look at it so simply, as if Zerg only needs to be slightly better economically to be able to create a better army. And if you're not, then sorry but that is the only way you can come to the conclusion you have made. I'm pretty sure it is the case that when you see an army of bling/ling/roach beat a mech ball or such, for example. | ||

I'm pretty sure it is the case that when you see an army of bling/ling/roach beat a mech ball or such, for example. You are the one looking at it much simpler than it is.. "simply being outplayed.. strategy, macro" lol there's some games where he is constantly ahead of food count and has higher tech units and gets rolled by someone with mass colossi/stalker... i didn't say that the zerg needs to be "slightly better economically" out-macro means what it means, in EVERY aspect. he has more drones AND more fighting units but still gets crushed. i gotta criticize to him that he rarely uses nydus worms and he should do that waaaay more to exploit zerg's fast movement but still, i think the fact that the zergs "aren't working" exactly as Blizzard wants them to be is undeniable. as a matter of fact... late game due to gateway tech P can re-mass SO fast, many times in order to crush a P ball Z looses a lot of units.. and i guess "in theory", during that amount of time Z is supposed to re-max or re-gain food advantage pretty quickly but that's just not true. the other races are also pretty damn fast at refilling the food count when you got a million gateways, chronobhoosting the cool down or a thousands barracks. | ||

You do know why the Code A pool is so much lower than Code S, right? If it was about half, or even a quarter the money of Code S, top players would intentionally play bad to get easier competition so they can get the easier money. It wouldn't give you a good list on whos good or whos bad, there wouldn't be great matches of skill, it would just be the best players in the game going back to Code A and scoring some dough. | ||
