DRG is pretty good. But so is Scarlett. Yeah, but DRG has been having a tough time lately. He still beats most people, but he is a shell of the DRG that once was. Hes 10-14 in PL, he hasnt made it past the Ro16 in GSL since 2012 S3. Hes still good, but hes not among the best anymore. | ||

It might hold true for the Kespa Koreans, but there's also the fact that they have less experience with these marathon tournaments. | ||

Kespa Chairman Jun Byung-Hun and GOMTV SCII Manager Mr. Chae have released a joint statement condemning DongRaeGu's actions: Byung-Hun, "We were deeply saddened by the terrible behavior exhibited by one MVP.DongRaeGu during his trip to Anaheim. Losing to a foreigner is a heinous crime, but an off race? Unacceptable. Believe me, you will never see him outside of Kespa jail ever again." Mr. Chae, "It is with great excitement that I announce our newest Starcraft II program in conjunction with Kespa: The DRG-never-gets-out-of-the-Ro32-again Experience! We will make sure that DRG plays nothing but Protoss for the rest of his life, and we will task our best field agent SKT.Rain with keeping him locked down in Kespa jail. We would also like to extend an invitation to Scarlett to come play Protoss in Korea if she feels GSL is difficult enough." | ||

Imagine a player trying to offrace as Terran. You can't learn to split marines in a couple of games. There are no consistently viable all-ins to choose. There is no "Terran book of bullshit" that can sneak you a win if the enemy gets an unlucky scout. If you want to win you better be solid with all aspects of the race. We all know Protoss can take you very far with just a handful of tricky builds. Outclassed players can always hope to take games via proxies, hidden dark shrine, massive gateway all ins... And to add insult to injury no other race has any equivalent since the MSC blocks all early pressure. User was warned for this post | ||

Is this correct? she switched race to beat drg? lol that is crazy! I don't know of anyone that used a race switch strategy to win, but it does make sense. If my opponent has prepared for X race, and I switch to Y race, I stand to have a decent chance to win due to the element of surprise. | ||

Listen, I understand that you feel Protoss is currently favored. But if that is the case, the difference is so negligable that Scarlett's win can and should be credited to her skill and the surprise element rather than any imbalance. I agree that the "Protoss OP" sentiment is clearly hyperbole and the imbalance (if any) is often negligible. Any of these players at MLG would destroy me with any race they choose, but they can choose an off-race and still win against people of arguably equal skill? There are a few conclusions such as "DRG is significantly worse than Scarlett" "Scarlett is exceptionally gifted with another race" "The race is easier to learn in comparison to the players primary race." "The races share similar strategy components that allow switching more easily." But because the race she switched to was already under fire, it added to the "OP hype." Do we need to change the races? Is there an imbalance? I'm certainly not an authority on it, but its definitely something to show concern over based on the communities feelings on the state of the game. | ||
