Right. and when it was suggested Korean Protoss were just worse than Terran and Zerg Koreans everyone flipped shit.
But it's perfectly reasonable to say foreign Terran's are worse?

Just because protoss doesn't harrass because they have no need for it doesn't mean it's bad. i think most people share the opinion protoss harass is the weakest, it's certainly gotten a lot better over the past few moonths though.
this was discussed @blizzcon, and used to justify some of the changes in hots

Every time I see a banshee vs marines, I keep thinking, "Will he become the next StarCraft Master?"

Im talking about a 2/3 base situation where it actually matters, storm drops are super risky and only possible in the super late game and at that point terran usually has so many ccs anyways that it doesnt really matter.. And 8 Zealots yeah, they can scare away an eco line and kill 2 supply depots, awesome.

Saying that a max vs. max with a small upgrade disadvantage is an automatic gg is ridiculous. If Boxer had 3/3 and Creator had storms it would have been an even worse crush.
Lategame TvP feels extremely broken right now, and you can't say Boxer played that badly he engaged fairly well he had ghosts, vikings and a small number of medivacs and got destroyed.
MMA said in an interview, that against toss, you need to play aggressively, opposite to playing passively against toss in BW. However to say that in an any matchup (except for mirror matchups), and both macro and not pressure each other and expect both players to expect both players to have an almost equal chance in winning is weird, as each race is play differently for a reason. just an opinion, i don't know

The problem with this style is, you are hoping are a mistake from the P. If the P defends well, you lose anyways. I think we need to give P more harass options and T stronger late game deathball. Then the 2 sides can choose the strategy they want. Now, if P decides to go late game. T HAS to pressure.
As a Zerg player, I'm going to step out of this argument except to note that "you are hoping for a mistake" is Idra's line, from the time where Zerg was the UP race.

Protoss is weak in the early game, Protoss is weak if you force them to split up the deathball, Protoss is weak against EMP.
The races are meant to have different strengths and weaknesses. It's what makes SC2 so dynamic.

Agreed. When sitting in your base doing nothing with 40 apm gives you a huge advantage it just doesn't seem fair.

Maybe in Diamond League you can drop freely, but once you get into the higher leagues where Protoss actually uses cannons and ht to protect their bases, good luck making efficient drops. you dont have to drop on top of the mineral line, 2 medivacs can clean 3 cannons in no time, and considering how toss has to stay together to have strong army, you can easily punish them with your multitasking. its the story about "if just one medivac gets thru undetected you can win a game with it", suprised you didnt heard of it. there is this guy called MMA, y'know 
Yeah, this guy called MMA who barely breaks 50% in TvP in Korea lol

Hmmm toss would have to weary of the 1/1/1 in a map like dual sight sometimes, or a strong 1 base push from a 1/1/1, I guess?

It was true in BW, too. It's an inherent part of the race: Better, more expensive units. Of course their deathball is the strongest.

Man, it's like every time there's a mirror matchup everyone stops talking about the actual games and starts shitting on the other races.

He's saying foreigners are worse than koreans and you try to turn it into a balance thing? What foreigner regardless of race has even won a major live tournament recently anyway? Stephano?

Mirrors are terrible in this game.

The game really needs a statistic on how much minerals and gas a player has mined since the beginning of the map. Both are on 2 bases but I can't really see how much the attack on the natural delayed Happys mining compared to Supernova.
