EPTMost exited for this one. If they both play at their best level, we could have the best games of 2014 right here. Then again, if they don't it could be the worst clusterfuck ever...

I hadn't seen Protoss winning in late game against Terran since sOs smashing jjakji with carriers on Alterzim. Protoss are in Zerg position before mine nerf last year right now. Or you win before there are too many mines or you can just leave. | ||

I get though that it is very hard to play against mines, Zerg had to learn the hard way in the past. It is all about adapting your playstyle. I'm very certain that in a few months time (assuming there are no patches, so the meta can settle down), no Protoss will make the claim that mines are imba in late game. Hard to play against, sure, but that is how it should be. | ||

Alicia and CranK told me the exact same thing, playing a macro game against a top Terran is suicide. Of course Protoss are trying to kill Terran before that point. The old "Broodlord/Infestor" analogy that Korean Protoss are making right now is surprisingly accurate. Back in the IPL5 days, Terran were trying to kill Zerg before BL/Infestor. Now Protoss are trying to kill Terran before 3/3 Biomine. In your league this might be true. User was warned for this post | ||

I mean if all these complaints are true from these pro protoss players then I guess series like these will get much more popular. No the matchup is in an awful position. Any matchup in which one race is predominantly playing 1-2 base because the players are actually afraid of going for a longer game is one that has some problems. Unfortunately we don't get to see enough of those games to really get that impression. Seriously, outside of games on Alterzim, you are seeing so few long PvTs. We might even end up seeing another Terran buff because of that and then I have a feeling things will swing back in the other direction hard once Terran can regularly get to the later game without dying. In your league this might be true. Yes yes very cute. Call me when your bronzelogic is somehow more valid than the opinions of people like Rain, CranK and Alicia. | ||

The community has a tendency to call OP on something long after that's actually the case. While this is correct, i still saw the Code A games and Terran didn't seem like the new master race to me, and guys like Super and Ruin looked comfortable in the macro game against Terrans. Also since the meta does fluctuate I think it's pretty unreasonable to predict if Terran(or any other race) is going to win everything in 3-4 months from now. | ||

He even was used as a Zerg training partner by some korean players. If people think MC wins because of the so-called "Power of Protoss", they are out of their mind. IIRC, last year MVP had to play a TvZ for wcs eu final, and MC was his zerg practice partner for the weeks leading up to it. | ||

Quite a few progamers have very strong off-race plays. Even to the extend that they would defeat a large chunck of the foreigners with their off-race. IF MC would play Zerg or Terran you would see a lot of bane busts/SCV-pulls though (which I don't mind at all). | ||

Seriously, we're at a point where protoss can practically fuck up early game and still can't be punished. Honestly, I consider oracles in the same category as 2010-reapers broken, with the main difference that oracles did not get nerfed into oblivion. | ||

Im not sure if alicia and crank are top korean protoss players tbh, but whatever, their opinion is kind of wothless without the opinion of their terrans counterparts. | ||
