Is SC2 Boring To Watch? - Page 2

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

EDIT response:

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.

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

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.
