I think the solution is to use more ravens and ghosts

-Raven to stop creep and catch burrow and later use seeker missile.
-Ghost to snipe and EMP on infestors

That's my impression from some terran late game winning compositions in GSL.

I bet idra will complain about zerg and no one will give a shit

if qxc says terran is up there will be a shitstorm

granted I don't think there are actually problems in tvz and I don't think qxc will either. but the double standards are astounding across the board.

Actually, on ITG Idra gave intellectual advice on TvZ.

Idra has been asked this question enough that it is pretty clear what his answer will be:
- Too early to tell, still need to experiment.
- Terran are having a hard time in tvz (but does may be temporary)
- Many terrans are still using outdated strats like certain hellion openers
- Terrans are too afraid, 4 queens are not that great in a fight, and hellions can often still run by.
- In GSL T are doing better than zerg.

QXC will likely state most of the following if he is like most terrans:
- Tterrans are having a hard time.
- No reliable way to pressure zergs early without doing coinflip that favor zerg. This allows zerg to drone without limit.
- The only option for terran is therefore all-in or very greedy, which zerg can easily prepare for and punish respectively.
- Zerg will get into lategame in advantageous position unless terran outplays zerg, and zerg deathball is still hard to deal with after ghost nerf.
- In GSTL ZvT was 13-0 or something like that.

And there will be a shitstorm no matter what from both sides. There always is in this thread, and in any thread when balance is mentioned, and especially when idra is involved in any way.

I got the same headset that JP just showed! It's awesome...but I don't think it'd be good for gaming since it heats up your ears after a few hours of wearing.

I'm fine with all of this.

I like QXC in general and I'm glad they have a terran on. I wish though that the show didn't go from complaining about terrans to dismissing terrans to now laughing at terrans wanting to be represented on the show.

I know a lot of it is just joking (incontrol just saying being GM as T didn't count) but it still kind of grates after 2 years.

I hope, with every fiber of my being, that QXC's only thoughts on balance is that TvZ is evolving and should be perfectly fine.

The sheer insanity that would erupt would give me a hardon that would last for days. I'm praying for this.

Praying as well for this.

No matter what he says, though, I doubt we will see any reduction in whining as JP so optimistically hopes :p

QXC is right, Terran needs something like scan to gain more information.

Sure, 3 CC is safe. It's hella safe when the zerg is playing greedy too. But if they're going roach/bane all in then it's really hard to hold with another 400 minerals not into bunkers/wall. And even if the zerg is being greedy, they're going to have 80 drones sick creep spread and hive at 10 minutes. It's not like zerg just loses because the terran has 3 CC's -_-

No but he's saying that roach/bane all in won't be happening anytime soon if zerg is going 6 queen build.
When I think of something else, something will go here

With IdrA involved, there was no other outcome. It's either utterly broken, and his race should never win ever, or you should just give it time.
