And TvP is in no better shape, because once protoss hits 5 collosus and gets storms + energy upgrade, it's almost impossible to win versus any competent protoss. Its because you don't know how to play the match up. Its all you do is complain balance in all your posts its really pathetic go watch MVP/Nada/Loner's tvz so you can find out how to play thank you. As for Boxer's comment he's been complaining about Terran balance even before the first patch (by first I mean right before Roach buff). So I'm kinda taking his comments with a grain of salt about it but would be pretty cool to see him play random ^^ | ||

Good interview, random players are always nice (Since the guy under actually caught me before my edit, my biggest point is probably the fact that I nevre understood how Zergs could be considered underpowered. Sure they require higher skill to play then the other races (imo), but in the end, the ability to produce double the units that a normal hatchery could make seems pretty odd to me (imagine if you could buy a upgrade for htaches doubling your larva production for 150 gold in SCBW, zerg would become so damn overpowered, and even though its not the same games, theres still something there imo.) Im not saying that your wrong, and that zvt does not favor zerg, I personally feel like it does,, I feel queens are really really powerful, however.. Terrans have reactors, and mules, can you imagine being able to make 2x rines out of rax in SC1, or even 2x vultures, imagine how op terran would be if you had mules!. Protoss have warp gate mechanics.... Comparing back to SC1 in this case is kind of just blatant bias unless you do it for each race | ||

But Boxer knows whats best for him, i wouldn't mind seeing him as a Zerg or Protoss, but since i loved him in Broodwar as a terran, he should just stick to it! | ||

Though to be honest, I think he is kinda pouting because he can't Bunker Kong like he used to. | ||

I can understand it's really hard to perfect your play when you feel like you're already behind before you start. He might be right too. It's perhaps a bit early to jump to conclusions yet though. | ||

Are you serious? Was the sitting with 12 tanks in the middle of the map so entertaining? | ||

Maybe its because it used to be easy and now its hard to play against other races? It's pretty obvious. Regardless of their showing at this GSL, there are concerns that in the future terran will be underpowered based on certain properties of their race. Is it really that hard to critically think about these kinds of things? | ||

Atleast mech had positional consideration. I wish TLO stuck with T since he did all sorts of fun things :D On October 30 2010 07:55 SichuanPanda wrote: I'll admit there is a mid-late-game hole in Terran at the moment that Zerg can almost always win by exploiting, but I do not think that it is necessarily because of underpowered-ness in Terran. I don't want to get into an out-right balance discussion/debate but I feel that now that Terran doesn't have the same level of early-game pressure they once had against Zerg. Terrans have yet to find another way to successfully damage the Zerg enough in their macro. However, trying to buff Terran early game will just bring back the same problems as before where only the highest level Zergs can hold off a successfully executed reaper harass, and even then maybe not. Actually I think its not that big of an issue if you see the replays in my guide linked in my signature. | ||
