So lets say DIMAGA practices Terran for the next 6 months, and then Terran gets nerfed. Where is he then? Playing a race because of balance in a game environment where it's going to change monthly is ridiculous.


He is probably hoping blizzard will improve balance and not shift the balance too far one side or another, but who knows how long it will take blizzard to change the game, they are pretty stubborn with some things.

did Machine fully switch to Terran? Or was that a temporary thing


Machine as Terran sounds so much more logical, lol!

But yeah, playing as Zerg is depressing. I'm considering switching to Terran too :/

Why do everyone think terran will get nerfed? I think this is more of fixing zerg early game, maybe a few design tweaks as well, giving them fair options vs terran.

This is a bit sad, but also a necessary step in publicizing the imbalances. I've been holding out for balance changes, but if players like DIMAGA and Sheth (who's been one of my favorites to watch and learn from ^_^) switch over, I probably will too.

In before 200 replies.

Honestly, I can't see any logic whatsoever with his decision. If T gets nerfed will he switch to the next FOTM? IdrA is doing surprisingly well considering how underpowered zerg are, and even if they have their problems he's going way overboard. Going for one base all ins in tournaments and.. meh.

Even if that did happen and he decides to switch back to his beloved zerg, its not like all his playing time with terran would be wasted. It is still playing time none the less and you get to understand the terran perspective that much more. It would improve his ZvT immensely.

You can easily change the comment to, 'and then Zerg gets buffed'. Once the game evolves to a high level, you can't just changes races like that frequently, timings are completely different for every race.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

Fadoodle this. It looks like there needs to be a Boxer for Zerg, a new Emperoer.
If these pros won't be cool kids and think of varying strats, then it looks like I'll need to fill in the gap.
Time to make Zerg strong again.

Interesting news. I doubt that this will change blizzards' plans. They are probably going to still take their time to roll out patches unless there are glaring errors with the UI.

I can understand his frustration especially since it is his job as he says and I hope that there are some changes to affect the balance a little in that particular matchup.
I have a recurring dream that I'm running away from a terran player but the marauders keep slowing me down. - Artosis

Seeing one of Europe's best zergs say this is weird. Especially as I watched some reps of him this afternoon where he DEMOLISHED his opponents.

Terran is the sensible choice if you want to make money right now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
even though this would be a great fuck you! to blizzard, there should be someone else. Dimaga is my nr 1. favorite player right now, i couldnt bare the thought he'd betray the only true race and switch to that *insert random insults on terran playstyle and lack of skill requirements and questionable sexual orientations of their users* race

Wow...this is really making me feel guilty for being a terran player . It's a shame that he is switching since I loved to watch his play.

What's wrong with Orc momentarily?
When I was playing people considered Orc as overpowered... and underpowered at the same time :D

Well that's a hypothetical situation. I don't believe the balance will change and if it does there is no certainty that Blizzard will nerf Terran or buff Zerg. Blizzard had plenty of opportunities in the beta to nerf Terran and they chose instead to buff Terran EVEN MORE.

If you look at the Trends the next patch will most likely buff Terran again in some fashion and nerf Protoss and Zerg.
