I didn't say that.

Willing or not, he plays a race that has been notoriously overpowered for months; He shouldn't bitch that it's "harder" but that it's now more or less "even".

It's like if in a gunfight you bitched that your opponent got a gun instead of the slingshot he's been using the entire time...

? what ? are you trying to say BoxeR is one of those FOTM players who switches to whatever race is strongest presently? If so you must have missed the game called Starcraft:Brood War. BoxeR did not pick terran because they were "op" ( which is your opinion and not shared by everyone) at the time, he picked them because he was known as The Emperor of Terran.

Terran being that OP was never that notoriously accepted. 5 rax reaper presented a challenge, but that was nerfed a while ago.

Boxer starts talking about balance? =/ That sounds.... unlike him, to be honest. Was he complaining about Terran being UP back in 2000 or whatever? Nah, he took the race that was considered UP and made them seem OP.

I also don't agree with Boxer here, he really should give it some more time before judging balance. There's still the most Terrans in the top 8 of the GSL and they still win the most tournaments.

Great, now this is a fruitdealer vs boxer flame thread. Just wait a few weeks guys and actually try something new.
Suppose someone gets to late game vs zerg and uses battlecruisers. Okay so the zerg makes corrupters and beats the battlecruisers. But wait, now the zerg has a bunch of useless corrupters, where as the terran can transition into mech. Is this viable? Hell if I know, I never see BC's vs zerg because some people say there pointless and everyone rolls MMM. If people would actually experiment...nearly all of zergs abilities were tested/etc during the 2 month UP period, are you telling me terran has really gone through all of their units in sub 2 weeks?

He can turn them into broodlords you know.

And terran doesn't have the luxury of having 50 larva a minute on 5 base as well as having perfect tech switches near instantly.

And yes, 50 larva with perfect macro.. By late game you should have plenty of production facilities. Zerg might be able to get the units at a quicker time, but overall equal production facility cost will lead to more units then hatcheries.

Yes, and then you make vikings. Perhaps instead of this constant ling/bane/muta vs MMM/mech throwing our armies at each other crap we could try something new.

Yeah, on 5 base a terran definitely has 50 baracks. I think the inject larva mechanic is great and all, but it seems so broken really late game. A 200/200 bio composition is not like that will destroy muta/ling/bling/infestor. It's probably equal but the zerg can instantly remake. (Mech has become quite usless because of roach+1)



And then you tech switch back to mutas and the terran has useless vikings.

There's a reason why people say it's pointless and never use BC's they do not work; do you really think in a game like SC2 people have not experimented with BCs.

In fact I can point you to a game in the GSL, NesTea vs KangJiYoung Round of 64 ALL he did those 2 games was BC rush; I guarantee you that people have been experimenting with BC's it's just it has not had any success.

Like nada said you need to be equal bases against zerg to have a chance, which makes sense. two terran bases= to 4 zerg bases doesn't sound like it would make the most sense.
