So when it's maxed vs maxed with banks like that is it not worth it to go into a few hydras in TRUE's situation?

Honestly man, it's just frustrating to watch players legitimately play amazing, and then lose to someone getting an ez-win with a broken allin. Especially when the player winning appears to be the weaker one it terms of talent.


I missed a lot of the series, but I think I saw enough to say MajOr/SpeCial only has himself to blame for not winning game 5 - the one that counts.

I doubt any pro player puts much stock into what another says about their worst match ups.

That's why it's brilliant: even if they don't do it consciously, a part of them starts to think it, and in the public eyes if Nerchio wins he is that good, while if he loses it's just protoss being strong.
Zergs and terrans hate protoss so much that they often use this tool to make them feel guilty :D

There are vocal sections of the player base of each race that does that.

If a Terran player beats a Zerg player, Terran is OP.
If a Zerg player beats a Terran player, Zerg is OP.
And so on and so forth.

I don't put stock into what pro players say about balance because I don't trust or believe them.

I can assure you that zergs and terrans unite against protoss.
Like on Twitter both zergs and terrans pros would make fun of protoss for being the easy race.
It's partially true, but you don't see protoss and zergs team up against terrans, because zergs and terrans both hate protoss the most and would rather play ZvT/TvZ.

mmh I see protoss and zergs teaming up against terran from time to time.
"LOL terrans just spam marines across the map all day. They don't want to make other units and expect to win with 1 unit."

Maybe the idiots, but I'm talking about the pros there, not random redditors.


Nerchio is a pro so I don't know that you can make that distinction when talking about community input.

?
Have you ever see a pro seriously complaining about terran using only 1 unit?
This was shit since sC got crushed by NesTea and BitByBit a laughing stock among KR players


Just saying that it's very convenient that you can distinguish between idiots and pros when it fits your narrative when Nerchio routinely posts like an idiot on this forum.

Show me posts of him that you consider idiotic then

Well TRUE slammed enough roaches into Nerchio to win.

I get that a race being 'imbalanced' is bad, I just don't think it's anywhere close to being a problem. The imbalances in the game are pretty slight and I think they matter much less than what the players do, it's not like the games feel unwinnable for Z/P/T.

this is one of the games where it's good to stay in the game and tire your opponent out despite having a tiny chance to win.

Nerchio is right. If he can reach later games without being too behind, he'll win. He's just a better overall player.

Sure, but PvT has been hovering barely over 40% for MONTHS. With imba adepts. Still protoss hate is blind and everywhere.

Over the past ten weeks, the PvT winrates are as follows (reverse chronological):
52.79%
56.71%
49.75%
48.46%
54.37%

For an average of 52.42% over the past two and a half months. Which is to say that PvT has been hovering barely over 50% for MONTHS.

I understand that Protoss had it very rough at the beginning of the year, but please get your facts straight.

And before that it was way worse for Protoss. But ok, still looking at threads and reading LR it seems like Protoss is usually having 8 spots in top8 of every tournament and have 95% winrate vs Terran with just amoving adepts. Protoss hate is unreal and truly disgusting, that triggers me. ~~

2 of the earlier games were adept allins that it looked like Major couldn't defend no matter what. Just the normal shades everywhere/warp prism in main etc.

g5 he was doing well, got a lot of widow mine kills on probes but didn't defend his third and attacked with too little of his army. It just annoys me how Neebs PvT is clealy weaker mechanically than Majors TvP but he can still win with the same allin.
