Übersetzungen Englisch: [1] shoot Französisch: [1] rejeton I feel like complaining about our stupid language with so many useless words (let's not even start with the grammar), but actually it's kinda cool that we have so many ways to express ourselves  . | ||

To state it more clearly, I believe that a Terran who can control Ghosts and Viking unbelievably can completely neuter a Protoss without the Protoss being able to do anything. This is because of snipe range, viking range, and emp range. | ||

The end result is a lot of 'cannot-be-bothered' performances and in extreme cases outright match-fixing. No system is ideal. I didn't say it was ideal. I said it was fairer. GSL could quite easily have 8 Round Robin Groups of 4 players. Top 2 qualify. Then they can have more Groups of 4 or go into a straight KO format. The so called meaningless matches can be rendered meaningful by having financial incentives to wins/placing or ranking in the group. Under current GSL you have someone like Supernova advancing without having to play the strongest player in the Group, MC even once, whereas Ganzi got eliminated after having to face MC twice! It's massively flawed. Anyway, I've said my piece on this issue, and will stop now. | ||

But yeah the point really is that, although Terran unit control is harder, there's a lot more you can do to gain advantages with the race | ||

Even in a pretty good micro battle, a P a move can win. But when T micros perfectly (Taeja, Puma, MKP) I just can't watch without being frustrated. | ||

Fairness is not the point of a tournament format. *said for the 100th time* Furthermore your hypothetical situation isn't fair anyway. If Coca got stuck with Nestea and Dongraegu, his advancement depends on the strength of a single matchup (his weakest to boot). Why shouldn't he have the right to face everybody in order to prove himself worthy of advancement? | ||

Terrans can micro as perfectly as they want, if you micro your HT's (= keep them in the back of your army, spreaded out), then there is no micro that can save the terran imo. | ||
