The only way to get smarter, is to play a smarter opponent.

I don't see why this is news to anyone, terran has always been good, they have the most specialized units in a diverse set, and when played right can absolutely roll.

Did they blame it on lag? I'll bet they blamed it on lag.

Pretty sure it was just a walkover since it was the first round. He probably just forgot about the time or something, and there were a lot of other people that didn't show up too.

It's hard to say that koreans will be the best at sc2 as well, at least for sure, I don't think it's fair to call tester the best..... of the world. At least not yey
The very best, I want to be

I didn't find tester's customary id in the most recent gosucoaching tourney, but in the replays from #3 he was playing Terran which probably had a fair amount to do with losing.

The way i see it, Terran is the best race currently, but only when played perfect. I do see Toss as the easiest and the weakest race as the moment, and the reason you see it at the top tournament levels is that everyone is still pretty damn far from the potential of their races.

I think Terran has some great potential, it just needs some time. As of now, people aren't even countering Void Rays right. Seriously, I've seen top players trying to beat fast void ray with only marines and failing miserably.

It's quite funny how people are going all "omg T mech is so viable now that Siege Tanks have a whole 10 HP MORE!!1"
Siege tanks were always powerful.

I haven't played very much but thus far I consider this to be the strength levels: Protoss > Terran > Zerg
It might just be because I have played few good Zergs, but I just feel like they are powerless vs my sentries/tanks and whatever.

I've also tried doing FD-style rushes but they all failed. I really see Protoss as unrushable because they can get more than enough units to defend the rush and a single Sentry can just deny any chance of doing damage.

Problem is, I wish that could be said off all the races. Can it? If you can't then there is something flawed with the balance of the game.

But yea, I agree with the whole terran is most OP right now thing. I blame Browder.

I've always thought that Terran was IMBA in SC:BW as well.
Siege Tanks are just too strong in a late game. Along with the aforementioned diversity of units, this becomes overwhelming.
Consider 3/4 Bonjwa are Terran (maybe 4/5) and both the First most dominating player and the most recent dominating player are both Terran. This speaks volumes since the evolution of the game is proving them as the strongest Micro oriented race (early SC) and possibly strongest Macro oriented race (Late SC). With a Brief hiatus in the middle where another race was Dominant, almost exactly at the point of the game switching away from mostly micro oriented to mostly macro oriented...

I think Zerg will catch some sort of macro Nerf when this game gets into the hands of a lot of Korean Pros.
Thanks just a guess of course.

I seriously doubt that it's the 10 hp and not the new way that most aoe attacks works in the game, like the aoe spreads from the centre of the target and not infront of it.

"Best protoss in the world". I would like to see a showmatch versus WhiteRa or Nony. Cool interviews none the less.

PS Hwanni really needs to change his name, it sounds too much like "Horny"



Look like you got your wish! 30th WhiteRa Versus Tester in the Altitude invitational. Should be awesome!

I'd blame on imbalance
