Please stop the tournament comparison discussion. Especially regarding players their runs (Stephano seems to be the current topic). Stay on topic and stick to the games. Consequences will be met out to further derailment. In addition leave the usual out of this topic: -Balance complaints -Map complaints -Stream complaints -Caster/player bashing -Off topic discussions Logically continue this list with things that are obviously frowned upon. Enjoy the free and wonderful event with loads of games and coverage! | ||

Cheers ~~ Jinro i'd think his point was if terran 'whining' gets us anything beneath 90% Terrans in GSL, it's probably a good thing. (why exactly are we playing Power Ranking and Race balance arguing again?) | ||

Is it a cultural holdover from Brood War (4 out of 5 bonjwas are Terrans) or is it something else? MarineKing played terran because of BoxeR I think (he was P on BW), TheStC too but not that sure. So yeah that makes sense | ||

By the way, If I can ask, why exactly do you take it so personally that you would ask someone to not post anything ever if you think someone's opinion is subjective and cannot be absolutely defined? Seems pretty strange to me. | ||

Admittably I do not know everything about SC1 history and maybe Idra can compete but I don't know if he has equally long bacground. As far as I have understood WhiteRa has been kicking ass longer than Idra. White-Ra was really good for a foreigner at SC1, but he wasn't the best foreigner, not even close. | ||

If one race was that much easiesr most or all smart pros would play that race since there livelyhood depends on it. The easiest race would probably only matter to bronze players. Or could come down to whats easier to pull off a 6 pool a 4 gate or a 2 rax. easy =/= win at these levels though | ||

Because in Korean Terran dominance his so widespread and on the flipside there are hardly ever any Protosses in the top 4 (It is changing though) | ||

It's not really Protoss' fault. Right now, playing turtle Toss, as boring as it may be, is probably optimal over more agressive play. That's probably part of why MC is not doing very well in PvT despite every other korean Toss being a beast in that matchup as of late. MC turtling to get mass tech and mass upgrades? Lol. Now, with quicker upgrades, and EMP being much weaker, Terran's late game is apparently way inferior to Protoss late game, which makes turtling impossible for Terran. Conclusion, PvT is indeed a shitty matchup. I would say though. One base terran and random proxy rax are as strong as ever (too strong imo) and we always see Terrans randomly win with that regardless or their weaker late game. HotS needs to change all that, I hope. And as I write that, Happy is one base all-inning as in all his TvP I believe. | ||
