True, i think the lib without the extra range is already hard enough, with the range and there is no ground answer to it unless you commit mass hydra/stalkers to it. Thats silly imho. Hope Blizzard removes the extra range eventually.

Come on man, Polt had his libs massacred due to miscontrol. If any race runs there damage dealers into their deaths it's usally gg, it's not Terran specific.
Not really the same argument but okay and there were more terrans than just Polt.

atleast 1 zerg per match tomorrow =O

Not the same argument? Tell me in a late game scenario if the protoss runs all his disruptors into the terran it's not gg.
Tell me if the Zerg runs his lurkers into protoss blink stalkers it's not gg.
At that stage of the game, if you lose your damage dealers, and the opponent still has theirs, then it SHOULD be gg.
I have no idea what you're trying to say..
Also, bear in mind the Terrans at this tourny aren't exactly AAA atm. Blame that on the weak foreign scene right now.
But by all means man, close your eyes and whinge if it's easier..

i'd say the terran representation in this tournament is lacking, i dont think you can make balance statements based on these games.
lets be honest too, showtime outplayed polt overall g1-4 and stupidly lost 3 and 4. he just looks to be in better shape right now, overall

Its not about the damage dealers, its the lack of choice of it. Maybe its more clear for you now. Also, i only said i wish to see more terrans advance, thats all, nothing more nothing less. So, relax, the "imbalance/OP" card has not be drawn etc. no panic buddy, calm down. Breath in breath out.

lurkers and disruptors don't have reactors, and late game economy is usually not a problem for terran because you don't need to consider saving energy for radar.

Masa, Time (just basing that off seeing scarlett say he is one of the best foreign terrans)

Guess I'll have to watch that DreamHack given how all my frenchies are performing. Stephano reaching the top 16 of a tournament for the first time in 2 years is certainly something I want to witness.

Wait, Stephano!? Didn't he retire?

We've been lacking of players such as Stephano so badly :/

Did Stephano seriously 3-0 pucK (Half Neeb) after that win over uThermal?
Shit I still don't want to believe he can place well

Tuning in for the first time in years - why is DH only single elimination bracket?
double elim was really exciting and more fair, why have they changed it?

The whole argument "foreigner terrans are just not good" gets kind of old after some time.

Dreamhacks have always been single elimination. The only double elimination Dreamhacks as far as I can remember are the Dreamhack Winters where there isn't an open group stage.

I thought exactly the same thing.
Reminds me of Michael Jordan unretiring to play for the Wizards at an advanced age and still being an amazing player.

Yeah playing and watching Terran is gonna to get really old really fast if all they can do is build Liberators.

Stephano playing well again is pretty cool. I really enjoyed his style in PvZ.

Sc2 is balanced around korean pros who can make certein units/builds work. If you dont use the multitasking/timing attacks, the balance gets weird. LotV is not build to mass army and then go.
If you watch carefully, all the games are full of small and big mistakes. Foreigner tournaments should just be watched and dont used to apply ANY kind of balance discussion. Cause that stuff gets really old.

Watched the vods this morning, man it's cool to see Stephano play this well again.
While I would like to see terran do well, I'm cheering hard for Stephano vs Marinelord!
