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.
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.
Terran is strong in later stages right now. But do you feel this match-up is in good position then?
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.
I'd take his bronzelogic opinion over Rain's opinion any day. I can't take someone who says that Terran was overpowered BEFORE the widowmine patch seriously.
Well depends on which patch you go back to :p Barracks before supply depot was pretty shit to play against back in the day.

The fear of the mine makes Protoss not play the superior zealot/ht/archon/cllosus style I think.
Its what i thought happened.
Protoss micro vs mines is getting better, as is better control of observers. Toss were letting their detection slip a lot against terran. Toss will build those skills within a few weeks.

He was ahead of the meta, I remember knowing nothing about the game and having that happen with reapers, when reapers were really able to fuck a worker line, and kill lings.
