And I'm sure that series was an emotional rollercoaster, being down 2-0 on the brink of elimination and battling back like that. Also he's always seemed a little effeminate (although less so now than when he was running around in his pink hoodie). He's a baller though, no doubt. | ||

Nowadays, Terran are being forced to make ghosts, throw in some tanks and use ravens as well for PDD, and we've been seeing just how strong that is. I don't think TvP was ever imbalanced, more just MMM began to not work and Terran weren't able to find a better way to play until they realized how good marine/tank was. On that subject, I think HT's should still have amulet but have it be -5 energy less than you need to storm. And give zerg an ability to drain energy. I don't see why HT's can feedback, ghosts can EMP... and there's no way for zerg to "drain" energy short of actually neural parasiting an enemy spell caster to prevent them from casting. The only matchup I'll say that is definitely much harder is ZvP. TvP is perfectly fine, people who think Protoss have an insane advantage are only crying because MMM balls don't work anymore. | ||

I think it's better to say that until recently, Terran players were being LAZY. Before this, all we were seeing was Marauder, viking and medivac for TvP so of course it's going to be tough to win. I would actually have been concerned if Terran were able to win that easily.

I do question whether this is a troll post from the gom forums with the single post, but he is still a pretty young kid first of all. Also, he only teared up after the 1st game (which he should have won) and the last game when he completed the 0-2 comeback. Yeah, the kid tears up more than anyone else out there in the GSL but he's just sensitive and takes his gaming pretty seriously. | ||

Whenever I try to load up the matches the obligatory ad comes on, plays for 30 seconds, then nothing happens after that. I've tried doing different matches on both HQ and SQ with the same results. Getting real tired of seeing this Chase ad over and over..  edit: Do I have to donate to see the VODs?? No, the HQ Live and VODs are free to watch for this event  | ||

Good to see MKP mixing up his style but still able to crush. Hopefully this will be the end of his slump. MKP fighting! | ||

Crying about imbalance is the opposite of what this game is about. But while we are on the subject, I could see the bunker build time being tweaked again, 40 seconds seems like an awfully long time when those units are warping in | ||

Terran is least played race and has more tournament wins, makes up majority of top 20 in ladders. Don't let a couple tournaments and exceptional play fool you real numbers suggest otherwise. And what do tournament results from patch 1.2 have to do with the current state of the game? As of the last 2 months, Terran have been doing pretty badly in comparison to Z and P despite having equal or better representation at most major tournaments. The overall player pool on ladder has very little to do with representation at the highest levels either. Take a look at tournament play and results. A glance at the "real numbers" should tell you that what you're wrong. On April 06 2011 09:58 acejem wrote: Not sure what you're smoking, but zerg is clearly the least played race.

Great first post, continue being a dick and I'm sure you'll be around for a long time. You know some people actually put their emotions into this game, they're not all robots. | ||

watsdis? mkp serving penance for season 2? lol. that was an amazing season and what got me hooked on esports. i suppose unlike a lot of people here i didn't use to watch tourney's (BW was before my... err--- current free time). but MKP was amazing in season two, he has nothing to do penance for. I guess I'm not alone. I got into Esport (at least for SC2) because of Foxer, believe or not. I liked FruitDealer and Nestea, until I saw how MKP plays (ballers). And I'm a Zerg player. His games are just entertaining to me. No one is baller enough like MKP to lift off CC for gold in the semis. He shoulda won Season 2 if he didn't hesitate the rush. He was also the first to rape FruitDealer in that season. I don't know, maybe MKP looks like an underdog but somehow manages to win. I wish MKP stops trying not to be a marine king. Don't listen to the whiners. Should play to win. If Nestea don't know how to defend rushes, why not exploit that? And finally, killing off MC in the last match with just marines was epic. | ||

Do you find tvt the best mu out of everything tvp/tvz/pvz? If you do well your one of a kind. TvP and TvZ can be very exciting, but TvT is up there too... well you are allowed to disagree but that's what "arguably" means, that it is possible to argue the contrary. Oh and btw PvZ nowadays is a joke... I'd take TvT over PvZ any day of the week. | ||
