I am going to say that ghosts are really underused and should be used more often. All shields + 100 energy? sounds pretty damn powerful even after the nerf. Good emps + bio ball = dead protoss ball.

You know, with all that terran QQing, terran have already solved MC's infamous sentry push. Rush to tanks.

It was only because terran was greedy with fast expand and a false sense of security thinkking 1-2 bunkers with a couple marauders is enough to stop protoss from harassing them that they got owned by MC because none of the other toss players thought "you know what, two or three bunkers aren't enough to stop an early 2 base push with tons of well placed sentries".

With the recent HT nerf, it makes protoss a lot less mobile and a lot harder to defend a million bases like san was able to in the past so really, stop QQing. It is just a matter of time before people come up with counters, like the MC rush that seemed unstoppable at first.

You people complaining about imbalance (and I mean that for all 3 races) as if it's affecting your ladder play. I'm 100% sure it isn't. You see some game in a tournament and your favorite player loses and you cry imba. I just look at your posts and I pity you. You are so sad and you don't even know it.


How can you say it's already been "solved"? MC didn't do the sentry bust against MKP, san has never done the sentry bust and we have yet to see anyone sucessfuly hold the MC style sentry bust.


MVP and MKP's fast rush to tanks say it all. They know it's coming, and they are making sure the tank comes out so they aren't losing to it. MC and san knew that the terrans are already starting to do fast tanks (ie. MVP vs. Huk) so there really is no point doing that push anymore. Remember TT1 vs MKP. Tank was out and seige mode was almost done and that was against a 4 gate. If it was a delayed 2 base 5-gate, all those sentries would have been evaporated. That build only punishes a bio heavy terran, but terran are starting to mix in mech already.

And judging from MKP vs MC, terran still only wins when protoss fails a rush or goes for a semi-all in 1 base push even without worrying about the 2 base sentries.

I like how I cite multiple games from different series to support my argument, you cite only 1 series.

I'm looking forward to the day when I can watch a hyped match of a tournament and people talk about how amazing the players/strategies were instead of how imbalanced the races are.

Stop using tournament matches to support your argument that a race is imbalanced. It's illogical.

1) It's a ridiculously small sample size. You can't possibly use 5 games played and say, "Terran only wins if Protoss fails hard," and ignore the hundreds of thousands of high level games that all show various results.

2) SC2 is an RTS game. It's not a fighting game where there's a limited number of options per scenario and in many there's a clear best action--every second and every action counts for something. Two players can do the exact same builds with the exact same armies, and different outcomes will happen each game. Just micro produces different outcomes. Scouting and changing army composition slightly produces a different outcome. Attacking 20 seconds earlier or later, or attacking at a slightly different angle, or pulling back at just the right time, all can produce different outcomes. To say that, "oh look at this push, it's OP," is just ridiculous without intensive analysis/practice against it.

3) You're assuming anyones at the skill level where the race they pick, and not the decisions they make, dictate whether they win or lose. If you can show me any game where a player lost even though they did everything "right" and there are no clear reasons why they lost or how they could have won, then I'll change my mind.

The balance "discussions" are annoying. They just seem like whining thinly veiled by bad logic that points to a few games as examples. MKP's comeback was pretty awesome, but it's frustrating when people take that away from him by saying, "derp, well MC should have won cause he's Protoss, only lost cause he messed up hard!"

MPK won after not doing any all-ins or cheeses. Same thing with San (minus the last game i nwhich he was winning at least).

It's too bad for San . If he just played like regular (what the knew best) in those 2 games he rushed, he may have been able to beat MVP.

Is San still going to leave the GSL for the military or can he delay it and stay in the GSL a bit longer?

can anyone recommend a link where the GSL games are summarized? id really like to read a live report or summary of the games since im currently in a country where the internet isnt fast enough to allow gsl streaming

the threads like this one are completely useless for this since even after the bans they are still full of ppl discussing balance issues, pre-emptively calling GG, and just generally being fucking idiots

Legit? o.O Please.

You mean to say that it's too bad that MKP beat MC once the latter started using questionable styles that he's not known for winning nearly 100% of his matches with?

Any style is "legit"; 4gating is just as legal a move as 3gate expand or 2gate robo. MC's strategies in the games he lost didn't make much sense though.

WOWOWOW this games are highly recommended in my opinion really MKP vs MC unbelievable! Probably the best games ive seen in the past weeks.

The first game was amazing... im a noob so i havent seen this build ever but vs. Nexus First the damage could have been even worst :/
Is there any chart that shows the income compared to a usual opening from T?

What a comeback u just won a fan MKP

And no one is discussing balance issue. Only people are thinking people talks about balance issue so they whine about that. But no one talked about balance here ><
