Am i the only one who interpreted MVP's analysis differently? It seemed to me like he felt on large maps it was really hard for Terran to play a robust/safe style, since it is so hard to do damage with harass/drops/pressure that it becomes risky to even try to do stuff like this, and if you don't do any sort of early game damage then you are just behind in mid/late game... its mostly a map issue and not racial imbalance which depends more on a metagame thing... like 12 nexus on Andromeda in TvP in brood war, where Terran couldn't punish it unless they were close spawn and scouted first, since if they scouted it second and it was cross map they couldn't bunker rush with scvs either.

Gretorp so awesome. <3<3<3<3<3

He was saying how he FEELS when he plays the matchup....
It was his thoughts and his opinions.

I think he was a fantastic addition to SOTG and I can't wait for him to start streaming again

I can't handle Gretorp talking.

He is just complaining about the difficulties of the race. It's like saying "Man.. those Zealots in ZvP.. you gotta like.. build units to beat them.. when I would rather Drone.. man it sucks.."

Gretorp's experience is NA ladder and MLG yet he is giving an emotional analysis as though he is MVP, winning GSLs and playing among the best players in the world every day, one of his reasoning for Terran being underpowered is "I see Zergs go 12 infestor". What?

MVP's explanation was LEGIT. It was about the map sizes and how Terran lacks the mobility and reinforcement possibilities that Z/P have.

Incontrol and Tyler are SMART when they speak, they speak from a pure analytical standpoint. Their explanations of PvP currently and in the future were amazing. Sure, Incontrol and Tyler aren't playing in GSL every day, but they understand the game on the deepest of levels. Gretrop is speaking from emotions and makes no real sense.

I'm cringing as I listen to this.


I stated something not material, rather something more theoretical, and you were unhappy with the response, maybe because you didn't want to understand what I was saying. Everything I said was completely analytical, and had nothing to do with emotion. I was a consultant before coming into this industry, and I know how to judge things objectively. I see this 'problem' in the scene, not in my games. Why would you think I'm assuming this over the sample set of MY games. That's kind of a silly assumption don't you think?


I actually appreciated your analysis, though I do feel there's a lot of...unexplored territory, I guess, when it comes to terran comps. Not to say it hasn't been tried, but some comps that don't seem to work on paper can end up being quite synergistic. Like, SK terran style doesn't seem like it could deal with a typical ultra/ling/defiler, but it manages to work.

At some point in the future, I think ravens will end up being a core unit in TvX (maybe only one of the matchups, but potentially all 3), whereas now they're mostly for detection with occasional 'cute' type of tactics.

I dunno, my personal thoughts on it is that Terran seems a bit underdeveloped because MMM or marine/tank were both SO robust for so long, that some of the other possibilities are relatively unexplored. Same kind of issue you often can see with protoss death ball approach.

I really miss SK Terran. It's the most ridiculous strategy on paper. In fact, a lot of BW strategies are actually fairly ridiculous. I'm still waiting for when that happens with SC2. More specifically, I'm hoping that someday I can watch an SK Terran version in SC2 with ravens.

There also needs to be a possible sparks Terran attack with marauders to soak the damage instead of firebats. I guess the issue with that is that medivacs are harder to get than medics.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

You obviously hate the guy, judging from your past posts... which is rather peculiar. I think he did a good job with the question tackling the terran mobility in larger maps in the context of tempo control.

I hope no one takes this seriously because I really think this post is so damn biased he didnt even listen to gretorp.

Unless you happened to be awake anyway

Great show by the way. Loved Gretorps insight.. if he happens to be able to join in from time to time I think he would be able to get more accustomed with the general flow and feel just like Idra did.

I hope Anna wasn't reading the chat. That was embarrassing.

I mean... it can't just be an age thing. I'm 28 years old. I'm probably older than the majority (?) of people on Team Liquid, but not by much (and not even close to the oldest TL user). But is a little self-control expecting to much from random strangers on the internet when a girl pops on a web cam?

(I may have answered my own question.)
