You should watch more sc !


I watch SPL,WCS,IEM,DH,ASUS,Everything else It's just that it's a really overpowered strategy that people don't really whine about because terrans dont overuse it like protoss did blink all ins.

Don't you realize how much of a contradiction this sentence is?


No why is it? It has like a 100% winrate people know what to do against it but the thing is theres nothing you can really do against it at best you save your natural while the terran has their natural and 3rd coming or you lose your natural and you're literally dead then and there but people keep on playing. If a blink allin happened you knew what to do but you lost anyways. It's the same here. Everyone whined about blink allins and their success rate but noone does so with 2rax due to the infrequency of it. Which makes it seem as not overpowered.

Let's spell this out for you.
This guys are professionals. The game is how they make their living. If something is strong, they use it over and over again (see broodlord infestor, even though several zergs said they hated it!).

If people dont 2Rax often, its because it isnt that great all the time. It's great as a surprise tactic. No more, no less.


I know that I'm just sick of the disgusting hypocrisy this community shows


This isn't hypocrisy, this is you being wrong. A well-executed 2rax is strong, but it's not unbeatable or anything close to unbeatable.


The hypocrisy about blink allins being unbeatable and everyone whining about it and now nobody whines about 2rax when it's just as strong as a blink allin and i hate it


The comparison isn't fair at all because the strength of blink was present throughout early- and midgames, whereas the 2rax can only be used as an opener. Blink builds had a million variants and uses on all maps, the same isn't true for 2rax.


Lame shit is lame shit and Sc2 would be a lot better without it.


The blink builds that won everything no longer work as well, do they?

Also, dude, Blink changed significantly throughout SC2, most clearly when Protoss got high ground vision earlier with the Mothership Core. A part of the whining was us terrans taking a while to learn how to defend it in a new context. (Apart from maps obv)
There's been no equivalent buffs to the 2Rax, ever. The current map pool is favored towards terran, sure, but Nestea, as has already been pointed out, held this on the most ridiculous maps, so why would it be OP now?

And u're aiming for the very top, during year and 3 months I belive. And u lost ur first foreigner tournament in finals straight forward, what if u are cursed forever to be second?

If he didn't have a strong mentality he wouldn't even be here that many times. I'm sure will see him in the finals again soOn

if you think second place at the highest level of competition is bad or a curse then you just have a stupid mindset

When the pressure gets to you, over and over, in the same way, it does have a negative effect on you :\

if you have a poor competitive mindset, sure

I feel bad for soO. I hope he wins Blizzcon to make this his year. I really do.

In my eyes it already is, but that would make it undeniable.

SSed this.


What does that mean?


I probably should not be surprised by your reaction, seems that many people generally take suicide subject rather lightly considering the fact that it does not happen as often.

he just has to be numb right now. there's nothing worse than being used to losing

I think part of it is that zerg has been at a disadvantage in the matchups he's played in all of the finals. I'm not balance whining, but it some ways that makes it even more amazing that he was able to make so many finals in a row.

No, if you lose five finals in a row while being the best player in the world for at least 2 of them, it hurts you no matter what. There is no competitor who wouldn't be hurt by that.
