The meta moves slowly, community common knowledge moves even slower than that. There's a reason a lot of pros are saying Terran will be winning everything in a few months and also a reason Protoss players are not playing long games against them. The community has a tendency to call OP on something long after that's actually the case.


Meta moves slowly, but pro gamers who have to learn how the game has to be played when there are new patch also. It took a lot of time for the zerg to know how to play and micro against widow mine, then it took a lot of time for terran to know how to play without biomines when the mine has been nerfed. Yes, protoss struggles more in the mid game right now but if they pass that moment they are still very strong in the late game and we start to see more games where the protoss is able to fully defend the agression (as Ruin did for example in code A). And the analogy with ZvT infestor brood lords is completely wrong, even if we assume that bio mines was indeed broken in mid to late game(even if I don't see it right now), because protoss all in are by far way stronger than terran all in were at the time.

Please provide recent examples of games to prove your assertion. I'd love to see all these recent long PvTs that Terran are losing on a regular basis since the patch.

Just watch Sora vs Bogus or Maru vs Zest on Frost and tell me what you think about Protoss' position before they decided to throw the game...

Why would they, they'll lose.

You realise Rain wasn't just whining when he said Terran is OP in the matchup? He was referring to late game. 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.


Haha...?

Terrans need to play perfectly to have a chance vs late game toss


EMPs, hello.
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 did not see a late TvP since sOs vs jjakji on Alterzim though.

Sora vs Bogus on Frost. Same for Maru vs Zest.

I did not have the opportunity to watch these games, I was at college. Who won by the way ?

Bogus and Maru after a huge blunder from their opponents.

Maru, it was in Code S Ro16, i assume, hadn't watched but as i remember, Maru lost only on Daedalus in shortest game ever :D But i watched his games against Dear in same group and Dear was just rolled on those mines, playing even with hidden base.
And going late game against InNoVation was always hard task.

Because Terran does not get into the late game.

We're talking about lategame. Mines are not even used in lategame.

You cant be serious TB.


Yeah what would I know, I'm only posting the opinions of top Korean protoss players. I can't possibly know what's going on. LR threads smarter than progamers.

There is the slim possibility that a progamer might be biased towards his own race. Just food for thought.

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.


I would value the biased opinion of a progamer over the TL LR threads any day.

Sure they know a whole lot more than either of us, but that doesn't prevent you from thinking for yourself, trusting your eyes, hard facts and factoring in the motivations and backgrounds used by the other person to gauge their opinion. I'm just not a big fan of authoritive reasoning ("this is so because xyz said so", "this is so because I said so") but rather a fan of thinking for myself.

Please note: I think he is actually right, that right now at this very moment in the meta many Protoss pros consider lategame versus T as very hard, if not borderline broken. I also think that it is just a normal phase of adapting, and once they figure out how to properly play against mines (I surely cannot, but I'm sure they can eventually), late game PvT might balance out, hopefully without the big advantage that P used to have in that phase. We'll see.
