Toss just is so weak right now (not balance, but rather rosters). like Cure Maru Clem Byun even Gabe can all be competitive with the best tosses in the world. Meanwhile no one but hero/maxpax really has a chance against them, and maxpax won't play.

"Protoss is weak"

MaxPax is the far superior PvT player. Haters are blind

I think we need more work on the map to make intentionally protoss favored maps. It's possible won't ever get another balance patch.

Wish we could prove that Take. I really do.

But as long as Maxpax doesn't play real tournaments how good he is or isn't is pretty irrelevant.

Yeah Maxpax's 36% winrate against Cure is totally the hope for PvT

Do you want to talk about online/offline performance or about game balance and Protoss performance and potential? We don't live in some mystery world online or simulation. MaxPax shows what Protoss is capable of and herO can play way better PvT than this.

Protoss does underperform but this isn't purely based on "protoss weak" and anyone interested in actually discussing this matter would understand.

It's honestly the best solution until more permanent solutions can be found. I still don't understand why we keep making Zerg favored maps when Zerg has been winning everything for the last 5 years.

The Reynor / Serral queen drawing competition was posted by ESL here. It's really funny if you haven't seen it.

His results are only irrelevant in terms of rating his performance, not of rating Protoss potential. I get the same stupid argumentation about HSC. "Players don't take HSC serious". Pros take tournaments serious, period. Is anyone here saying Maru doesn't care losing to MaxPax 3-4? Clem isn't? Ill quit this discussion. No one that is actually interested in it would actually engage here unfortunately.
