Not talking about high level terrans dude, I am talking about the whiners on forums and bnet. No one at the top tier EVER complained about T v Z. They only complain about T v P yet all this low tier players think they are under powered against zerg. If you think zerg is easy play the race. I whine before that terran is op and switched to terran only to realise terran needs to do as much as zerg to win. So I stop saying its op. play other race before whining.

Obviously the Grand Final is later on at 11hr 10 mins mark. Definitely watch both series.
Thanks a lot, actually it didn't work but then I tried out an US proxy and it works !

Works for me, and I am in the UK.

I was at the Clash today and it was awesome! Really fun event, the games were some of the best I've ever seen. Seriously, go back and watch the vods if you missed the stream. Was hoping for Polt to win, but Stephano played amazingly well.

Stephano's one of the few Zergs I see who builds decent numbers of Corruptors.

Stephano's one of the few to maintain a decent number of them at all times. It really works since his push may not be as typically scary as other Zergs but his cost efficiency with his high tech units seem far greater than other Zergs from what I see.

Not an option for people like me with 25 kb/s download. An hour to load a 30 minute vod, pretty much.
Replays please!

It's ridiculous that the players from the race that has had the best win rates at tournament level since the game was released are bitching the most. Blizzard made a huge mistake by making terran the only complete race at release- it gave terran players a huge sense of entitlement. They got so used to having their race winning the majority of the tournaments and always having better win rates than the other two races. Now that the game is more balanced than before at pro level (check the TLPD winrates graph if you don't agree) they think there's something wrong. MKP took MLG Arena, Polt took Assembly and Puma very nearly took IEM in an extremely close series. The fact that we don't have 6 out of 8 terrans in GSL quarterfinals anymore and terrans not winning every foreign tournament does not mean terran is UP, it means Blizzard is finally getting it right in terms of balance.

The thing is you have to put twice the effort into practise as terran than the other races if you want to do ok. That's why we don't have good foreigner terrans, they don't practise like Koreans.

Where are your evidence that you have to put in "twice" the effort to do ok? What makes you think zerg is easier? Hell I would even say what makes you think protoss is easier? Demuslim isn't korean but he managed to defeat nestea, ret isn't korean and he defeated mvp. You have absolutely no evidence that you need to put in twice the effort to practice or be a korean to win
Edit: and btw, if you think blizzard should balance the game base on people at gold league then you should go play some other games cause sc2 is not for you. Sc2 should be balance at top tier play, not for players who want a easy time.

When was the last time a foreigner terran got results? TSL3? And Stephano practises like 2 hours a day. Enough to beat top Korean terrans.
And do you think I'm gold league? Only thing I can say is I can probably beat you with any race.

Stephano's meticulous unit control throughout the game is what gives him the edge that other Zergs lack. He does sacrifice a bit of macro for this - ie getting supply blocked, missing an inject here and there in late game, etc. But that's a small price to pay for the kind of benefit he gets out of good unit control. It's why Stephano holds back Polt's marauder hellion all-in with roach-ling and other Zergs die to it. It's why Stephano crushes Terran armies much larger than his late-game. It's why he trades efficiently with Protoss.
Well, that and his fast upgrades, which is a hallmark of Stephano's style, and something that Dimaga does as well. A lot of Zergs sacrifice upgrades to get a lot of units early on - and they do this because they are afraid of dying to timing pushes. But if you skimp on upgrades then Terran is just going to roll you later on with 3/3 marines. Stephano avoids that, relies on his upgrades to carry him through the early and mid game, and though he ends up with a smaller army than other Zergs do in mid game, he pulls ahead late game with good control.

Stephano has stated in the last sotg that he now practises 8-10 hours a day. Get your face out of your ass, you play zerg I play terran, whats your character code and name? Kor server bring it on.
Edit: btw, I off race as terran so yeah I have experience with them. Don't use it as a excuse though since you claim terran takes more skill and zerg is op so you should be able to win me even if you don't have much experience with zerg.
