And it's not natural. It's due to several circumstances which have led to this situation, fluke being part of it, but yes, it is true. | ||

Look at EWM tournaments, no Code A or Code S players there and Z/P dominates the lineup. | ||

Players will need to be well rounded in their matchups to advance. While it is true, that terrans occupy third of code S spots, they are also race that has lost most spots in this season. I wouldn't actually be surprised, judging from tvp and tvz trends after latest patches, that if current state of game will continue, terrans will be the least represented race in code S after season or 2. | ||

I actaully feel this is a very common issue there is lot less wiggle room with T it has to be just right right all the time think its one of the reason MKP is struggling less than other Terrans atm this micro is just so good that he wins fights he should lose for not having the 100% right comp like splits vs blings and storms sure other T's do split but most are far from in the same league or as consistant | ||

It lost him the game, you could see it on his face in the booth when he threw his hands in the air and shook his head while it happened. Also yes he had 3 starports, but barely built any vikings. He kept massing MMM vs colo and storm. Would that be considered a smart decision? Notice i say 'Smart decision' not MKP IS SO DUMB OMG IM BASHING HIM. Now go away Would you and plexa suggest that MKP had went back and let Protoss remax to 200/200 and then rinse repeat again? That favors protoss because if Terran makes a mistake, Terran dies, if Protoss makes a mistake, they are still in the game even if 50 supply down. MKP attacked because he knows, just as well as every other Terran, if he doesn't it plays into protosses hands. It's exactly why TvP lategame needs to be addressed by blizzard asap. Sure, he can wait, but then that allows Protoss to get super army again, trade, rinse repeat all while taking +1 base and warping in and denying Terran's freshest mining base. And then when he does gain an army advantage, he doesn't have enough vikings so he cannot attack effectively -> has to either wait for more vikings allowing Protoss to remax or he has to do what he did and bite the TvP lategame bullet and try to attack and make something happen. It's always a win-win lategame situation for the Protoss in lategame. You can gain an advantage in army (as Terran) but never press it because you don't have the proper "hardcounter units" which allows Protoss the time to simply remax because if you have no vikings, and they have collosus, you die. If they have storms and you have no ghosts, you die. You always have to have the perfect amount, and then micro perfectly, and then survive the chargelot remax after a huge trade. To sum up, MKP attacked because he decided to take what he probably believes as the lesser of two evils - try and pray to kill protoss instead of waiting for another 200/200 "trade armies -> must win engagement by 80-20 margin to survive follow up chargelots". So no, you're actually both wrong. The decision to attack was not dumb. It was MKP basically saying, "well, i'm screwed either way, I prefer to take this route of dying lategame instead of another 200/200 death." And to ACE's credit, he played very good and did what I've posted about many times, including replays lately, of abusing templars in warp prisms lategame completely nullifying EMPs. It's basically a supercharged TvP lategame because you're 100% guaranteed to have psi storm instead of 1Aing your deathball and getting your clump of templars EMP'd. Protoss players are going to begin doing this literally every PvT very soon, they have been incredibly lazy up until this point, and lategame TvP issues are compounded even further when the Protoss player is able to multi-task and control speed prisms with templar inside of them allowing 100% protection from EMPs. | ||

And I still contend that calling someone's actions dumb is not different from calling someone dumb because they are both rude and should not enter civilized discussion. We both agree that he did not make enough vikings, yet, Plexa wrote that he did not have vikings. There's a difference there too. Plexa later said the problem was that he didn't realize the colossus count was high and failed to pull back or to make a concave, and I agree, I think he was drawn between the two decisions, and hence he made the indecisive mistake and sealed his loss. Now, if you start using the more polite phrases all the time, you'd find that conversations will be much more pleasant for you in the future. I have to say this is the exact reason why TL can be so annoying at times. Where do you get this attitude of "politness = good" anyways? I'd rather have people who are honest enough to call something dumb, but not abrasive enough to call something retarded. Conversations aren't pleasant just because someone is being polite. They are pleasant if they are going somewhere and not wasting time on pedantic assholery. | ||

I'm expecting terrans to be less represented than zergs if nothing changes. They've been overnerfed, and zergs and protosses have figured out how to play their races in the lategame, while still getting help from Blizzard, all while maps are being made more zerg/protoss-friendly. Exciting times. | ||

There was sooo much going on mostly from Ace's side, sentry drops, ht drops storming mineral lines, feedbackdrops on infestors, sniping bases with the army and recalling them with his defensive mothership so they wouldn't get destroyed by BBBB's broodlord deathball. At the same time BBBB had a good defense and some nice runbys. It was a long tense game with an awesome display by both players! | ||
