Zerg ZvP in latter day WoL was pretty horrific. Likely to have gone the same way if it had stayed with Swarmturtle being more figured out

My point is that some imbalance on a short period of time (half a season of GSL code A) is naturally going to happen, no need to get that mad about it. I wonder why many protoss feel entitled to benefit from imbalance. Wolfdor publicly criticized DP as Z favored and said they felt sorry for Protoss. But they already have a free win MU (according to code A results ) which more than makes up for it!!!! And nobody said anything about the good blink maps or feeling sorry for terrans. Why this double standard? Calling any match-up a free win for one race (unless the map is Longinus in TvZ) makes you look silly Heavy rain PvT might be a strong candidate. There were lots of maps heavily weighted, anyone remember protoss on calm before the storm? Shit was cray cray PvT: 33-32 (50.8%)
i hated metro the most by far

What hypocrites. Could you link us to a Code S season where only 2 zergs or let's be generous and say less than 6 zergs qualified for Code S (in HotS)? Pretty sure that was never the case. I don't really follow Sc2 anymore personally, only occasionally watch Proleague or Code S, so I have no vested interest in balance, but even I can see that the way it is right now isn't right. What hurts the game alot more than balance whine, is people being blind to even the most obvious imbalances. It ruins the fun for everybody, the viewers, the players.... why defend that status quo? I'm not defending it, I think the games current "meta" is a fucking joke. In any event we had several seasons in wcs premier of having just jaedong or and soulkey or scarlett being the only zergs in the finals. I still think despite all of this taeja is going to win. But you are shifting the goalposts here and it's obvious. "In the finals" is veeeeeery different from the Ro32. And one player potentially (just potentially) doing well does not justify the rest of the playerbase being unable to even qualify for the tournament. The gsl/osl wcs eu and am were qualifying events for the wcs finals after each season, and the points accrued were the qualification for the grand finals. 2 zergs were in the ro16 in the grandfinals. In any event check out the wcs season 2 osl, where there were 14 zergs in the tournament, 0 of which made it past the ro8. . Yes and that was tragic. And is it not true that Zerg got buffed/Terran nerfed (however you want to look at it), several times in HotS now? But when the situation is reversed and Terran is struggling (vs. Protoss in this case) you are taking the opposite stance and argue that there really is nothing to worry about. That's just perplexing to me.

I think daedalus is worse in zvp then heavy rain is in pvt. Not by much but still it's definitely weirdo and once P will run out of tricks it'll be ugly.

In short: it doesn't. You made false claims, he called you out on it. End of story.

He gave a history of whine and you returned a thread made today. That's kinda weak. ;p I was looking for the older mad terran (iirc) thread but I could not find it  Ah, the Sad Marine. He got shot. No it's this one : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=441107 but well, it's not much older...^^ I hope terrans can keep one thread like this opened though.

It doesn't really have options other then: gimmicky but 'balanced', op or weak. I think zvp will swing pretty hilariously in favor of zerg soon, and tvp will only get worse. Such a disgusting race.
