Because everything else is kinda coin flippy. You don't go fast 3rd CC you are banking on zerg not building units, if they do you are very far behind. There's a reason TvP and TvZ, almost all terrans do the same stuff day in day out. | ||

He truly dominates? he didn't win anything since GSL 1, which was 6 month ago. Since then he got to a good, but not dominating Ro4 at the first WCS global finals, crashed and burn as the ace in PL, didn't get to the World finals the second time and overall played very well, but far from dominating. | ||

He might be the most amazing player in the universe, but his bias is insane. Oh, hadn't seen this one. How about you go laddering a bit with Terran, and experiment by yourself what happens when you try to manage 3 control groups in a fight lasting 3-4 seconds on average—all while splitting Marines and apparently targetting with Mines, something not even the Code S Terrans manage to do at once despite having 500-550 apm at peaks during engagements? I'm sure you'll do all of this so much better. | ||

Yeah Soulkey isn't dominating, but he's one of the most consistent Code S ro8 players atleast. | ||

Violet would probably be just as consistent if he didn't screw his visa. Ever since Sao Paulo violet is probably the single most consistent player in SC2 he's always a high finisher and threat but he's quiet this year due to fumbling his visa three times in a row. | ||

It's so hard to hold expansions in the late game vs so many mutas. I know people have always been going mutas in hots, but maybe not quite so many as they are getting these days. Correct. Zergs used to try to get away with hive behind 10-20 mutas, while the right approach is to mass as many mutas as possible (naturally you can go Hive earlier if the previous engagements went well, as soO did for instance this game) to defend Terran's pushes and then rampage his bases when he's stretched thin after taking his fourth. | ||

You're serious? Scarlett does amazingly well. Nerchio does very well. MMA is on an upward spiral for months now and finally coming close to being his old self. Paranoid and Bly have never been top top top level competitors.... | ||

I note a complete absence of a solid counter argument to this, which makes me fearful that you are right and the nerfs put Terran back to the dark ages. Mvp is in no shape to save the race these days | ||

I'm sure you'll do all of this so much better. the thing is, there are several reasons you normally want your medivacs right above the bio. If you put them on a different control group you might get more healing, but they are exposed if you kite back, you lose the option to insta pick up. I rather lose a bit of healing than lose a couple of medivacs or are unable to pick up and leave if nessecary. | ||

But he had a few things in there collectively called reason, which you choose to ignore. Late game separate medivac micro just doesn't happen. It's not because 500 apm players haven't tried it. This has been discussed to death, you just weren't privy to it, it seems. | ||
