EPTat the top of my mind i can think... scout, get vision of a high area so you can hit from below with other units, or get a high ground xel naga... but i dont think any of them really worth it

Maybe the proper response to a zerg fast expo is something crazy like a double planetary fortress expo, who knows? Give it time. | ||

Nerfing races and buffing others is done with that calculus in mind as reflected by Bnet statistics posted. Toss are crushing others. And Zerg very weak against both. Anyone who cares about profit and understand business would agree. As to you second part. I'll bet anyone and all comers $10 a tourney with 4:1 odds (there is only 3 races) protoss will not win any major tourney again. You're so short-sighted it's not even funny. Did you by any chance notice all the people cheering at the MLG? Do you suppose they were happy? I'm not really interested in pointing the obvious, but you should really educate yourself about how markets work before any future bikeshedding pseudo-analysis attempts. I guarantee it'll help you with your future jobs too. | ||

You know, that's not a bad idea, it'd just be what Protoss had to basically do, get a third as fast as humanly possible. I might give that a try (well not PF's, use Bunkers and stuff). | ||

Protoss has to win just 1 out of every 5 tournaments, to break even. If the game is balanced enough, I'm betting you'll prolly end up losing alot of money in the long run, if every TL user decides to take your bet, ofcause. | ||

Wow irony at its best good to see the game balancing out though making players like you quit :D I am not saying zerg is imba dude. I am just saying i lost to zerg a lot more than it use to be, which is not a bad thing. Whetehr the game is balance or not doesn't depend on my win ratio LOL. Take it easy. | ||

I directly notice that the game is less chees n' abusive oriented and more relly on long term strategy. I think the supply nerf has something to do with the power of OC and the QQ for mules. Now T cant do the same early pushes and cover the eco with mules cus they need to spend the early money diffrent. And for the VR's, its kinda nice to have in knowledge that P cant throw one game ending units on you early on even if it was easy to deffend but it was just a bad for the game, same as reapers. | ||
