you cant give the 15cc argument because 1rax expo gives a weaker followup than 15cc. thats why people go 15cc rofl, because the econ kicks in more quickly. then you get you extra raxes and geysers more quickly. you dont understand basic rts or tvp build.
toss scouts 15cc, grabs 2 nexuses, then goes onwards to not barely be able to defend, nope, he goes on to almost go kill protoss that was constantly building units on 2bases
you guys should realize me being in this game 12 hours a day for over a year knowing and talking to almost all pros plus practicing these gsl maps regularly, dont you think i should know the timings and find the flaws better than you?
its silly some tosses just come at me here just because they are defending their race
if you want feedback and pros opinions, the good and bad comes in a pack. im not gonna sit here and obliviously say "great timing on that 2base protoss" every time we watch gsl. please realize they can play macro oriented, they dont have to play like this. but they almost play like this exclusively because its more easy and they are more successful with it. So when pro Protoss players said you can't hold a 1-1-1 were they right? When Protoss said you can't stop Mutas in ZvP were they right? When Terran said you couldn't stop Infestor/BroodLord were they right? When Zerg said you couldn't stop the Protoss deathball were they right? Pro's always whine about balance they have a long, long history in this game of calling strategies broken and crying/whining about the game when the same strats were later just figured out when players played vs them more. And then shit gets patched. For what it's worth 1/1/1 is still damn effective against P even after patches, Destiny managed to knock Mana and HasuObs out of IPL TAC with mass muta despite winning $700 in his SC2 career and Blizzard introducing a new unit in HotS specifically to deal with muta. Thorzain got destroyed by Stephano's late game ZvT Infestor / Broodlord earlier this month despite killing Stephano's Hive during the game. Simply check the Shoutcraft Invitational final game 1. I'll give you one though, ZvP late game is now pretty Z favoured baring archon toilet. So because the strats still work they're imbalanced? The point was pro players would regularly consider these builds unbeatable but they got figured out and now they're just one of many solid strats than sometimes win and sometimes don't.
Uh, they were considered unbeatable and they got nerfed, albeit indirectly sometimes (main thing that comes to mind is fungal buff that almost completely killed deathballing).

One of the times the loser looked better. I am glad he's Code S. Hopefully he will either advance or stay. Nothing against GanZi, but he was raised in the age of GomTvT and I am not sure about his TvZ/TvP. Ganzi is fine TvZ. His TvP is bad Sounds like every Slayers Terran we have met so far.
Taeja is actually solid against protoss. MMA is making lots of progress

Does anyone knows how MC trains at the moment? Just laddering and custom games with pro-gamers he's closer to?

"I spend time on stuff XXX" is not an argument to prove a point. Just give arguments, explain and you'll convince people. Otherwise, this just make you look patronizing. Now, I think you spending a lot of time on SC2 should allow you to easily find better arguments than the average gold whiner.
i presesnted all the arguments needed before i said that. but then they were questioning me

LOL @ Morrow crying over TvP
and yeah i know he's not debating the matchup in general, rather toss vs terran macro, but overall terran is still by far the better race to use in tournaments, which monthly balance charts reflect pretty decently (altho not perfectly)
either way, they dont call it gsl code tvt because toss is imba

Well, it was nice being on the first page of Liquibet for a little while at least

Would be pretty depressing if Nestea/DRG can't give us atleast 1 zerg representative in the round 8.

guess Jjakji < Ganzi < Parting will advance! gogo

If there is one thing I have noticed.
Zerg whine the most often.
Terran whines the worst, or is the whiniest.
Protoss whines the loudest.
I think whining in SC2 is more balanced than SC2 is.
There hasn't been one point in SC2 where Zerg was the overwhelming agreed upon strongest, so it kind of makes sense.

Deathball has as much to do with players using Brood Lords (i.e not let stalkers blink under them) and realising you can attack before the Protoss gets 3/4 bases and that Hydras aren't that good.
