APM isn't the issue. Just because 1 player spams between hotkeys more then another doesn't make him a better player. Zerg has to deal with the timings and when to make what.

You guys all remember that Idra was Protoss early-beta, right? And he switched to Zerg because, at the time, they were the strongest race, right?

All of you are making it out to seem like this is an unspeakable act and/or that your heroes haven't done it before. Dimaga is right- it's his job, and he needs to produce results. If he and his employers think that Terran is the best option, its within their power and reasonably justified.


I don't see how IdrA's switch is relevant. It's not like anyone just goes "hey im going to play zerg" without trying it out first. He tried every race and chose what best suited his style.


Except he played Protoss primarily, for a decent period of time, and then publically stated that he was switching to zerg because protoss was underpowered and zerg was really strong. So yes, its completely relevent.

zerg sucks in Korea too


FOR SURE
http://sc2ranks.com/

Do you have a source or are you trying to prove a point? IdrA was playing protoss when warp in was completely imbalanced. I don't think it was a "OP / UP" problem. If so please state the source.


http://www.playxp.com/sc2/jingjing/

This is how the Korean community feels about zerg


Red one is Zerg(저그). Green is Terran(테란). Blue is toss(프로토스). Purple (?) is none(없음;I think its all good.)
This is a poll on which race do you think is the weakest. Longer bar means more vote on the race.

The latest poll shows 67.2% zerg (86 votes), 14.1% Terran (18 votes), 16.4% Protoss (21 votes) and can't see on the purple.

Just in case people cant read Korean
yea but is it over or under powered;P

I honestly think the game is good and balanced as it is, no need to whine about it. If anything, the queens need a range nerf on their attacks, cuz they are ridiculous.

People scream over and over than the way to beat T is to harass them to death, but really, the comparative apm and overall game management required between Z and T is insane.

If dimaga does switch to T and is successful at it, it will be one of those sad but funny moments as he can now 1a his way to victory.


i really dont like this argument

effort involved should not have any effect on balance decisions unless its in regards to "the only way to beat this is literally humanly impossible"

terran takes way more mechanical skill than protoss in brood war, i guess its time to buff terran right?

c. viper takes ridiculous amounts more execution than balrog, i guess c viper must be a bad character

etc.

what the hell goes on below absolute peak levels of execution does not matter. if z takes 6000x more effort than t but both races have an equal shot at winning at the professional level then it doesn't matter, because its balanced. effort required should always be the last thing considered in balance.

im not taking a side in this argument because its just silly but this line of arguing sucks.

As much as I understand his employer pressure to produce, this is a sign of a resigned player who simply doesn't want to innovate any more =(.

everyone saying zerg is the dominant race in korea must be a fly or something

the best two korean zergs freedom and cool switched to p and t and there was 1 zerg in the top 8 of wta takedown

those rankings are bs, rather watch at the official rankings
in europe top 7 are like 6 terrans

Well, is anyone surprised? Dimaga is like 33% of zerg players in high level SC2. Who is there besides him and Idra? Maybe Haypro... he wasn't even in Beta Kind Tournament. And Sen? I haven't seen him play in ages.


Not even close. Look at Korea's zerg, foreigners say "BLABLA MUTA IS HARD TO USE" and then you load up a Korean Zerg replay and he uses muta more then effectively. I don't think balance is the issue.

It doesn't matter how many players play zerg / terran / protoss, it matters how good they are. ALOT of players play zerg just fine. I don't see what the problem is.


The problem is that I don't give a damn about what korean people are doing right now (as long Liquid is still in europe). I like to watch casted tournaments and stuff like that and zergs are really going to be under represented if it goes on like this. There are too many terran scrubs right now winning games who will be sooo gone in half a year. Kinda like Hasuobs or Orb during early beta protoss reign.

The way I read the article:

In Dimaga's opinion he will get better results with Terran, and there are issues with zerg that cause him to consider playing T.

But what everyone seems to miss is that it is not so much about that, but more about the lack of information coming from blizzard.

"unless there is at least an announcement of the new patch after GOM TV Global Starcraft II League and IEM Global Challenge Gamescom"

His main problem seems to be that Blizzard has said absolutely nothing since release, blizzard hasn't stated, hey there might be some issues with Zerg, we are looking into it, or we are testing stuff for a balance patch.

For all we/dimaga know blizzard could even be working on a patch to nerf Z and buff T (okay, probably not, but we don't know).

It looks more like a call-out to blizzard that says "Hey blizzard, could you atleast let us know something" instead of a "I am guaranteed to switch T".

But I could be wrong.

Anyway, if he does switch it's gonna be a sad day for Z, he was one of the best Z's and one of the more influential zerg's.

I couldn't care less about Idra switching T or not, but if dimaga does go trough with it, then for me it is a big signal that there might be something wrong with Z at the top-level.

lol dimaga switching race surely doesn't mean something is wrong with Z, it only means he's not confortable with it. There are a lot of very succesful zerg players out there so figure out

if you pay attention to tournament results, than you'll see both races definitely do not have an equal change at winning.
