A bit?? Check how many nerfs terran has had... And im an ex Zerg who actually found it was too much even back then.

And every single nerf was deserved. im an ex terran and even i found the terran dominance a little too much back then (or more like for the entire lifespan of SC2)


Meh. Everything was deserved except the ghost nerfs. EMP radius + leaving enough energy for a storm is just stupid

EMP is still strong. having a skill that takes out all sheilds and ALL energy (basicly cutting away half of every protoss units HP and making casters completley useless) in a huge area is just stupid.

Not gonna lie, that was an exceptionally easy RO8 to pick. Easiest 12 points I ever picked up. =O

Its too bad I had one bad stretch after being tied in 2nd because now I am back to being tied in 5th but still a ways behind the leader at the moment. =/

Can this possibly be the worst RO8 ever?

I find it rather satisfying since all the utterly overrated, fanboyism-blessed players got annihilated real hard. In fact it's one of the more entertaining GSL quarterfinals for me

Huh, how can you say that the fanboyism blessed players got annhilated when hero took out supernova?


SuperNova wasnt the fan favorite but still has overrated TvP, he always sucks under pressure, even on foreign tournaments.

U cant say that a player in the round of 8 in the hardest ever tournament in the world, is overrated.

Overrated TvP...?

It doesnt take out all shields and energy. Thats the problem!

I'll admit I'm super happy I don't have to hear about MKP being the "best bonjwa player ever omg totally boss-mode insane gosu baller" anymore. Watching PvP is a small price to pay.

I think the whole balance shifting thingy is something you have to get used in SC2. The ball tendency and relatively small differences in mechanical play make it very difficult for players to stand out way over the others. As everything gets down to smaller margins, all kinds of metagame shifts and balance changes play a bigger role. That's just the nature of the game, at least for now.

PvP is a good matchup nowdays, get with the times.

It's still the worst mu in sc2 by a decent margin...

ZvZ wants a word with you.


ZvZ is marginally watchable if it gets to mid/lategame.

PvP just doesn't work for me at all. Even if it gets passed the early game, it's usually just a matter of counting collosus to see who is going to win

the hell do people like you just pull information out of your ass?

Number of GSL's where terran have been the most represented race in the RO8 = 5
Number of GSL's where protoss have been the most represented race in the RO8 = 2
Number of GSL's where both have been equal = 2


Either you have reading comprehension problems or you can't count. First of all, I said more
P than T, not most represented.

I can give you 4 seasons without checking... March, July, Season 1 and 2 this year... So maybe you should check

EDIT: ok re-read... Well just compare to storm and feeback...

Storm is an AoE DoT and it doesnt remove energy... Feedback is a singel target spell. EMP was way to powerful pre-nerf, it basicly made everything struck in its AoE useless. Give me a solid argument for why it should take away all sheilds and all energy. thats potentially like 200 instant damage against units with high sheild HP. compared to Storm that does 80 damage over time.

You can dodge a storm and negate most of the damage. EMP is instant, wich means that once you where hit (and there was no way for slow units like templars to dodge it either) you were screwed.

Seriously how can anyone justify an instant, undodgeable AoE skill that removes half of every protoss units hp and all energy.

in that case i want storm to do instant damage, and drain 80 energy aswell.

I'd just like to applaud the zerg base in general for how mature it has become in the past year.

There were no zergs in the ro8 this season, and while there was of course some degree of whine as always, in general zerg players seemed to take it in stride and get ready for the next season. A year ago, every single LR thread of then until the finals would be filled with zergs whining about how obviously inferior their race was, but it looks like that spot has been taken by terrans. Good job guys.

It is pretty difficult to compare emp and storm directly because it is not just the spell itself but the units they are used to counter. You don't see emps much in vT (only rarely on medivacs) and storms vP. Storms are just very good vs bio and EMP vs protoss.

Also, you can also say storms actually kill units where as EMPs don't. And EMPs stack and storm doesn't. But I think it is fairly safe to currently in the pro meta game, storms seems to turn the tide more than EMPs. I think terrans can survive vs 2 decent storms and still come out even right now. But. 2 great storms or 3+ decent ones usually means gg... For EMPs, it seems you have to basically hit every HT at least once...
