I mean all it pretty much is now is Reapers into MMM against zerg and just straight to MM against Protoss. And all the other side desperately trying to counter it. I am just not getting to same level of excitement as I got during the King of the Beta tournament. It's really just about countering MMM. Even TvT is now only MMM with some vikings and banshees.

I even find Protoss boring now as all they do is try to counter MMM, they can't try anything creative as they will just get rolled over. Anyone else absolutely bored to death with this?

The only reason we have all these "new up and coming" Terran players that are beating pros is that MM(M) (with ghost! yes I have to mention that because if I don't I will get a million responses saying "against Protoss you need ghost... sometimes) is because it is so easy to do and so powerful and so EASY to do. Sure there are "tight" timings but it really doesn't take too long to figure them out and then just "skillfully" kite your opponent. A lot of people say that Terran is seen so much in tournaments because it is the most familiar race, however the ratio of NEW, PRO Terran players to Protoss/Zerg players in tournaments is astounding.

To close I just want to say that I KNOW that this is NOT the case on the KR servers. So is it just that on the KR servers they learned to counter it? Or is it that they just don't do it good enough? What you guys think

P.S not a balance issue, more of a strategy issue ITT

How to beat a terran going MMM against protoss...

Storm, collosi, stalkers, immortals. Storm is key.

The point here is not even how to beat MMM, its just that seeing MMM every single game of the tournament(since Terran plays in every single game) is getting boring.

were some good matches in there.


but overall i agree. hurr 4gate, duurrr MMM spam. well thats what ive been talking about in my map thread. thats what most of the maps promote. and now we get a patch that further promotes pure MMM play. yay.




but also we didnt have many tournaments since release. IEM was amazing. mlg is worse (but players are too on average). nothing terrible about beeing "the worst" out of 2 big tournaments.

I really get bored by watching MMM. In starcraft 1 I loved bratOK replays, in sc2 they are just boring for me. That's the reason I play mech against protoss.

Personally I think its retarded that as Zerg you have no way to win if the Terran does MMM properly.

This was probably the most interesting tournament so far. The matches last night, specifically drewbie vs socke, were fantastic, and every match today was also great. Only the first few matches weren't interesting because they had random people due to open registration.

Saying that this is boring is like saying that Broodwar is boring because everyone opens the same. That isn't what either game is about.

If you go into a stream with the attitude of "omg all these op strategies going to suck so much" then yeah, the games will suck. If you go into it with a "I cant wait to see these games!" attitude, then they're fun. Games are fine. You just have a sucky perception of them.

Have you guys watched Masq vs Slush? Masq is like the definition of the typical Terran player who thinks he can roll any Zerg by making reapers. His control was so horrible I literally started cracking up in the middle of the stream. But it literally goes to show how many Terrans can get around by using these strong builds and completely rolling over inexperienced players, whereas when you actually run into a clear superior player you will have your ego stripped away and be completely humiliated. Bastards, eat it.

I agree with Alou. I really enjoyed the games. The PvPs are pretty interesting.

Masq is a great player. It was probably nerves. It doesn't help that Slush played perfectly either. Terrans aren't just laughing their way to the podium because of easy strategies, because if you haven't noticed, all top 3 are Protoss.
