he switched from zerg to terran in sc1 because ZvT was too hard.

then bashes people who switch from z to t in SC2 even though ZvT is even harder.

Thanks. Now you've the unleashed the "TERRAN UP" upon the forums. Well, Terrans deserve to have their share of the bitching.

The post says ESL, but the only ESL I'm familiar with is the viking cup, and it certainly wasn't in that one..

It was IEM not ESL oO

IEM is a tournament by the ESL.

im pretty sure he switched because all his clan members where zerg and he hated zvz

also zvt was hard in broodwar? TvZ in broodwar was arguably the most apm intensive match terran side

Who said it was new? Merely underused. And now that people have seen it in a tournament more people will be inclined to use this.

I'm pretty sure TvP is more APM intensive in BW - mines, seiging, EMP. MnM micro is hard, but it's not not as APM intensive.

ZvT is most APM intensive for zerg (not really counting ZvZ, since that's just muta micro for the most part) for zerg, and Terran has always had an advantage over zerg in BW; I can't believe you're even trying to portray it any other way.


As for this, I feel like it's a bit of a false hope right now; it's not like magic boxes didn't exist and that spreading units didn't exist before either. This is going to make going muta stronger, but it's a bit early to claim "ZVT IMBA" and likely the only terrans qqing are noobs anyways.

Lol people who think this is a glitch

Sitting units still and the game AI doing what it's intended to do and split units is a glitch? "WAAHHH THEYRE DOING WHAT COUNTERS MY BUILD. IMBA IMBA IMBA NERF NERF I WANT TO WIN EVERYTHING AGAIN"

You zerg people need some innovative play instead of just complaining about the imbalance. Zerg is indeed harder to play which makes them less attractive for some people. But the imbalance is.. maybe just slighty at the start but not magnificent as some(MOST) make it out to be. The speed and mapcontrol of the zerg can be insane.

This. You use Thors because they have long enough range to cover a base or army where Marines could get danced around, preventing Mutas from getting free shots at anything. Then you back them up with plenty of Marines so the Mutas can't just overwhelm the Thors and rape everything.

Of course, this means you actually have to control your army and keep Marines alive against the threat of Infestors and Banelings instead of just slamming out pure Mech and winning.

I can bet Blizzard will nerf Zerg not Terran , try playing upper Diamond again Zerg as Terran , its a mess, people like Idra(can i say retards ? ) whine about Terran but some Zerg builds and i dare to say units are realy OP , think worst is banling + early Mutalisks
People that whine about Terran OP dont know how to play zerg !

It means pure mech is dead. It also means a lot of Thor based timing pushes don't work, and it means Terran overall is a lot more vulnerable. You HAVE to get some more anti air now, and that's a big deal. Marines are iffy at best, vikings aren't super cost effective, and ravens are so gas heavy they cut into everything else. It makes the matchup a lot more variable, and I like that a lot.

This is highly reminiscent of stop lurkers in BW now that I think about it.

[Edit] By this, I mean that zerg found a way to abuse some in-game mechanics in order to make their units more effective.

Oh good. All the Z whiners can now shut up after Idra demonstrated how to beat T players in a high level competition.


Oh hey, the "IdrA beats terran so zerg must be fine" argument again. The issue has not primarily been with mid/late game. It is the early game that makes ZvT so difficult. IdrA (among others) admits this. Even Terrans are starting to think the MU is OP, see Morrow's interview. This muta micro is something that has been known since beta...

Granted, much of the "ZvT is broken!" cries come from people who post like this, but there is still plenty a terran can do long before a good number of mutas come out that is the problem. I am a 500 point diamond zerg, and I know that little of the imbalance affects me because I am as likely to lose a match to a push as to my macro slipping up. The problem is as the community gets better, it will become more and more obvious, and we cannot rely on half-remembered tricks from the beta to come and improve a matchup.

So a unit that was bad against another unit is now good against it because of micro?

...does that sound familiar to anyone else?
