EPTIn sieged mode they do splash, however, so you probably want to have some tanks sieged and some unsieged when you engage.

For all we know, he may think they're weak at lower levels of play (though to be honest, he could probably care less). His specific point was that once they get in the hands of an extremely good player, meaning SC1 progamer caliber, they will be extremely powerful. By extension, it seems to me that you really can't sum up the Terran's strength in a single unit like the Marauder or the Ghost. Because any bronze league player can take advantage of a shallow advantage like that. I'm a little confused, are we saying that because T, relative to the other two races, is top heavy in regards to its effectiveness and skill its balance shouldn't get reevaluated? Who is honestly going to get excited about a game with pro-play that has one race mopping the floor with the other two? A lot of players, including myself, have a long way to go before we're justified in jumping out of our seats and calling imba, but if Tester says it's unbeatable at that level, that's a red flag for sure. | ||

Not like he sits on a forum all day whining about shit like 90% of the people here do. He just answered a question. I guess you don't get it either. Let me dumb it down a bit for ya. If somebody asks you a question during an interview like "what do you think the strongest race in the game would be if multi-tentacled APM happy fairies played the game?" Well, you could answer "durrrr... if multi-tentacled fairies played the game then terran has the most potential." Or, you could answer "Why speculate about shit that just can't happen?" | ||

Or, this is patch eleven, not patch twenty five, and Tester was talking about really hard-core, high caliber players (which exist, believe it or not), not your fantastical gaming fairy-squid. I guess it doesn't really matter. If it is in fact as imba as he says it is, it'll come out in time, which I guess is your point. Your point articulated without sounding like a jack-ass. | ||

Well in the early game the marines are a great counter to the immortals and later on the terran can get EMP to instantly take away the immortals' shield | ||

You misinterpreted me. I wasn't saying that balance shouldn't be re-evaluated. It was mainly directed at those people who come into this thread saying "He's right, Terran is overpowered" and give some Silver League anecdotal example to go along with it. That anecdotal example likely has nothing to do with why Terran would be extremely strong at the top levels of play, nor do the cries of the Marauder or Ghost or whatever being imbalanced in XYZ matchup (especially since the Marauder is a unit that doesn't get that much better with micro/positioning/game sense). Basically, if one top player is saying that an extremely strong player would be able to take advantage of Terran, it's not likely to mean that Silver-level Terrans are going to be able to start tearing up everything based on racial imbalance. Nor is it going to be for some simply-explainable reason that a Silver-level player could come up with after playing the game for 3 weeks. | ||

So many "im not playing until a patch fixes zerg and protoss" type terrans in the other threads, yet Korean progamers are saying Terran is the strongest race.. I wonder who to believe.. hmmm 1 korean protoss progamer says that. That's not a fact if ONE player says that. That's only his opinion. | ||
