Terran has been saying that since the end of LAST YEAR after Ghosts got nerfed. If Protoss was so OP we'd have seen it by now. It s just that top Terran player sare much much much much more skilled than top Protoss players. | ||

If winning is purely player skill and racial balance shows who is stronger than Terran had more players than Protoss or Zerg in Code S. If winning is based on racial balance then Terran won the whole thing. Arbitrarily picking a point and saying "oh look, more Protoss at this point" does not prove you right. ...Right, just like arbitrarily picking the Ro32. I'm trying to point out why his is bad: the sample size for GSL is way too small. In any case, Terran doesn't need any buff, we're the strongest race anyways. | ||

Do you like a 15 minute game more than an epic 120 minute LOTR battle of good and evil? You decide. And stop with the haters calling, it´s getting old. Game 5 was like Sauron camping Mordor and building a shit ton of towers without anything actually happening and then being defeated by a deus ex machina. | ||

You may be right :\ I've definitely seen some legitimately good SC2 series though... | ||

I'm telling the Terrans whining about Protoss being OP that they can shut up now. | ||

I'm just saying that the execution wasn't that good on either end. Thus, despite the fact that it was the last game in the Bo7 of the GSL finals, the game wasn't, in my opinion, good. I don't care whether it was "memorable" or "surprising" or "omg MVP's got mad balls look at how much he's blowing my mind" or not. I'm just commenting on how the game itself played out. You may or may not share the same opinion, but it's entirely up to you. If you look at the game solely on the mechanics and decision making that was displayed you might not be impressed especially if you remove what happened earlier. The reason why this game is great and memorable is because of the story and the events that lead up to that game. Without context this is just another game but due to all that happened this was a great game. | ||

Except the real world doesn't work by such simplistic rules, so it's more about analyzing who won why on a case-by-case basis than coming up with some universal guideline that automatically applies to every single case. | ||

The 3 games where nothing special went early on, MVP got demolished, and thus decided to all-in. I have no issue with the MULE helping for the two racks in its "early stage" , it was well played by MVP to play that, but there is a very precise situation where the MULE is , in my opinion, broken and it is when you can have income without SCV. My last sentence was badly formulated, T should be still able to do two racks, but with the change I propose itwouldn't last as long or with so much SCVs. | ||

You can't take Sc2 pro games outside of their mental capacity, and arguing with disregard to that seems a little narrow-minded- like you're only addressing half the game. Sort of like saying "well the offensive moves were good but the defence was mediocre so the game itself was bad." Impossible to please :/ | ||

I'm absolutely sick of the abuse people gleefully hurl at Protoss players because everyone likes to think "oh poor little me, can't do ANYTHING against Protoss". | ||

This was over a year ago and I don't think anyone remembers, I just thought it should be noted. Squirtle was the underdog then and he was still to this day. What a great story between these two. I hope the story line grows like how MKP vs PartinG has. That's an epic rivalry right there. | ||
