He was going like forge, twilight, collusus, all off two base and super fast. It was scary. Not just oracles, you need to prepare for blink aggression which can outright win you the game. And even if you scout it, the Protoss doesn't have to commit. And then the Terran has to guess whether the Protoss will commit. If you over prepare, you are pretty much much screwed in the mid game. | ||

It's why you have three races, that way you can fake real balance. BW had real balance, but in WoL and HotS, rotational balance has been the order of the day. It's why so many hypothetical nerfs or buffs are impossible for their effects on other matchups; even the game's rotational balance is very fragile. | ||

BW also had maps to balance the game. And since BW had a bigger team play (pro league) focus, it was fine. With SC2 more individual focus, you don't really want to have maps that are too skewed. That is why we end up have maps that are very similar. Plus very little defender's advantage makes maps not affecting strategy much. | ||
