This one isn't BAD as such but HotS was just so good. Yeah, that's the biggest mistake, I agree totally ,-) He should write a book about it xD | ||

Don't know, I go with Zest you dont think protoss was strong before? you dont think that balance changes constantly with adaptations and evolution of play, (not to mention maps, although protoss has been strong with similar maps) you really think THIS one game can be used to analyze balance? if terran is strong vs protoss in general, we did not see that in these games, since these games contained tons of mistakes on both sides. regardless of balance, either player could have won this series easily. i just dont see your point. instead of crying, take a second to read what the fuck im saying. its really disrespectful not to. im not saying terran isn't stronger than protoss. im saying these games can't be used as a basis to analyze anything, let alone the relative balance of an entire matchup. other games could be used, a large subset of games could be used, flash and zest's statements mean a lot and could be used (not by themselves)...but not this series. which is what the whiners are doing. which was my only point | ||

I have little patience for people who ignore the extensive and highly hypocritical narrative of "Terrans are just better" and "you can't compare X player for balance, he's just too good". And even less patience with anyone or anything at all whatsoever after last night's visit to the funeral director. So I'm not here to argue; I'm simply calling you out for flat out ignoring that as an issue. | ||

Edit -> for example Zest(!!) Waaah, Zest said that Terran was OP, I'm now massively convinced http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2014_DreamHack_Open/Stockholm http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2014_MSI_Beat_IT http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2014_WCS_Global_Finals http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/HomeStory_Cup/10 http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/32_Boys_1_Cup http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/PughCraft_Invitational_2 Weird, then, that the recent big tournaments results don't exactly seem to showcase this, uh!? Pay attention, in particular, to the massive, absolute domination Terran exerted over the Pughcraft tournament. It was like 2011 all over again. Always hilarious to see the "analysis" of the game by low level Protoss. Yeah, MC should totally be able to get away with Oracle forge into 7'30 third into losing most of his Sentries into late Colossi + almost complete map blindness into a bad engagement against Terran's best timing attack. Entitled much by early 2014? And you're the guys who constantly bring GomTvT as the so-called "evidence" that Terrans are some kind of spoiled brats—haha, my God, the irony... | ||

Edit: And yeah I preferred the HotS trailer. This one isn't BAD as such but HotS was just so good. Yeah, less flashbacks, more things blowing up This one always makes me think I'm watching a recap of WoL and HotS cinematics, with a few new scenes in between. Not that these scenes are not good, and the last Zeratul part is the perfect way to end it, but still... | ||

Why are people so angry? jjakji outskilled MC. + Show Spoiler + :D Game 5 was a colossus all-in from MC, jjakji couldn't defend and instead went for a basetrade, klling the nexus and MC had no money for a base. Forced draw. Game 6 MC went for a greedy 3 base build and kind of got away with it, but just massed up units with no splash. jjakji cut SCVs at 48, harassed but with no great effect, and went for a big SCV pull. MC only aoe was 2 colossus he made after jjakji had double starport and already vikings in play, MC got shrekt. | ||

So I'm not here to argue; I'm simply calling you out for flat out ignoring that as an issue. frankly, you are being very silly. I just love protoss tears. I genuinely don't think terrans are better. I love it especially when MC loses, because he always makes stupid decisions and uses wierd builds that cause him to lose, but everyone comes here an whines aobut it anyway like its a balance issue. You put words in my mouth with the whole "terrans are just better" thing. If you are seeing that as a narrative, then you are probably also seeing this as a narrative. You can make up anything you want and call it a narrative, it doesn't make it so. | ||
