Here's a novel idea; ALL RACES should get better as you tech up, and worse as you tech down. Problem solved!

I'm a spectator. I want excitement. I didn't pay $15 just in hopes the finals will actually be good. I want at least good quarterfinals on. Sure, these games each had 3 minute windows of excitement. Not enough. I want more back and forth, more tension, more Starcraft.


Thankfully they do. Or do Ghosts, Vikings and Medivacs don't count as teching up?_?

In the last game it seems like MVP was able to juke Parting with the medivacs. When MVP pulled them back initially Parting had a moment of indecision where he moved his units back towards his ramp, which gave MVP a hole to move back in and start dropping units when the stalkers weren't directly below the medivacs. It's still a bit shocking that Parting couldn't hold that standard of a play.

It seems to me like people just straight up dont like protoss around here, either they hit early and are cheesy/2 base players using a style that takes no skill; Or they play a macro game, but instead its just considered a no skill autoloss for the opponent automatically. What great choices as a protoss player x.x


agree, when 1-1-1 was every GSL game the terrans would say, "Look there just isn't any good protoss players".


right, and terran have such a better reputation and are so loved. which is why if any terran moves out before the 30 minute mark they're a cheesy all-inning scrub. and if they make a banshee at any point in the game they're 1 1 1 ing. still. people are stupid. of every race. except poor zerg. but that's because they're all dead.

And it wouldn't be far from truth. PvP is indeed not good if there's no reasonably fast 2nd exp.

Even then pvp fucking sucks rofl. It is just 200/200 Colossus deathball bullshit like the stereotypical look on sc2 is. Sc2 pvp late game truely is garbage. No bias...Coming from a fan standpoint, not a player..

OK. I'm one of the biggest TvP whiners. I am hereby going to STFU about balance and just practice. Might not like how the match up is played, but it's definitely winnable. >.>'


omfg - somebody might have just had an epiphany :D

Fellow terrans - join your enlightenend brethren and please STOP with the massive amount if whining that has been going on the last couple of months.

Someone who usually likes reading LR threads on TL.

as long as protoss players stop whining about losing to timing attacks and all ins, then there wont be a problem. the match up is far from ideal though. on both ends.


How about the match up is horrible beyond repairing? On BOTH sides.


That seems like a great attitude to have. "everything's broken and can't be fixed ("


Sorry, but I can't wait for a random MKP vs Parting to actually enjoy a TvP. When I see a match up my attitude should be "this is gonna be interesting", not "this is gonna be boring most probably".

Omg, i hate to say it, i hate to keep reading people like this in TL forums, but sadly this is a (average) terran player (fanboy) this days.

Protoss struggling vs Z lategame/macro/production, this:

Probably because one datapoint doesn't prove anything.


Yet they will argue that P is imba based on one season of protoss doing well.

ROFL I love when people say that toss takes low skill to play. They come off so bitter... The fact is that toss doesn't need the macro timing of the other races but they are the most micro intensive race and they have to be the most aware or they will just die to any of the million different timings terrans and zergs can do.Just because they play defensive doesnt mean it doesnt take skill. Its alot easier to pull off a drop then it is to defend it and your front perfectly.

MVP in the finals is a shame to the GSL as a whole.

He had the most disappointing display of skill of all the 32 codeS players, and he made it to the finals thanks to a train of allins.

If STC does it, he's called theSTCheese and blamed by everyone, if MVP does it, "OH WELL ITS HIS WRISTS" "GAME GENIE OMFG BEST GOGO 4TH GSL" "OMG DAT PERFECT TIMING"

Who cares?

If protoss plays greedy, they should be allined as punishment. More terrans should allin and force them to play more safe, making the terran standard play better.

That's what happens when a race is fundamentally overpowered for more than a year or a year and a half, especially in the game's early life. It gives birth to a special breed of fan who got so used to seeing that race win (good or bad players, but helped by their race choice) that he believes Terran should normally win by divine right. Everything else is "imbalance" for them. Terran have SEVEN fucking championships, Zerg has FIVE, and protoss have... *drumroll* TWO!!! but no matter, this is the natural order, this is what should happen, and if anything (i.e Protoss strong lategame) gets in the way, then they behave like the spoiled little princess who can't have her fourth dress made for yesterday.

No matter they have the strongest early and midgame, strongest harrassment, strongest turtle, strongest scouting ability (hi scan), strongest drop play, etc... just no matter. It isn't enough for them, unless Terran wins everything.

I congratulate MVP for his victory and I'm glad to see a person overcoming his problems, but let's be serious, MVP can be as good as he wants to be, but which other race would let him get away with so many gimmicks, mind-fucks, and such? If he was Z or P with the same wrist problems, he would have probably fallen in Ro16, IMHO.

God, I'm so tired of these little Terran posting princesses.
