The PvT matchup is just so incredibly broken at the moment in favour of Protoss. People really need to stop making arguments like these. The players themselves don't make excuses like these, they pick out the things they did poorly and practice so that next time they do them better. Why must we degrade our players' achievements with talk of imbalance and illegitimacy? Is it so hard to say "they both played a good game, and one of them won"? It works in sports, it can work here, too. | ||

Sports are balanced. sc2 is not. The statistic shows a clear trend, that terran atm cant beat good protoss players. If it was truly "can't" then the stats would be 100% in favor of Protoss. Don't misconstrue actual results with generalized statements. | ||

While I might be taking the quote out of context here it is: On March 11 2011 14:01 Liquid`Jinro wrote: The latency was fine today, some days it sucks. Today was no issue. I think i played fine game 1 and 2 and i think i missed a ton of depots game 3. I also think anyone who says PvT is fine is an idiot, but primarily because terran cant win if protoss gets templars late game which wasnt really an issue in any of todays games. I don't want to turn this into a QQ balance thread, so GG Tyler <3 Need more streaming from you mate! Need some more epic PvPs on stream where you think its a draw then smile slyly as you realize you can mine from your probes xD. | ||

I'm interested to see if the same heavy upgrade style would fare well against Zerg. Fully upgraded chargelots are probably the king of ground overall. It's insane how strong of a unit that one is. Tanks insane amounts of damage while costing next to nothing, and doing stupid DPS or forcing your opponent to constantly kite. I love chargelots. I wish people would make them and abuse them more. | ||

Then again, I'm pretty sure I've heard him say it's a bit unbalanced somewhere in the forums. And he's not the only one, tons of top Terran players are calling it an unfair match-up. | ||

Its by far his weakest MU imo | ||

Jinro beat MC and MVP beat just about everybody last season, and the only reason he lost this season is he didn't play very well. All the imbalance talk is just stupid. TvP is a hard matchup, sure, and so is PvT, the player who plays better will win. It's funny to me that I see more terran's complaining about balance lately than zerg>< | ||

I think terrans complain because they are so dominant in TvZ and TvT is a mirror. Having a matchup where they cant completely control the pace of the game probably automatically makes it feel uncomfortable. The best playr in the world has played like 700 ladder games and dont practice custom games? Jinro has probably plaed like 5 times or more as many tvp as Tyler has played Pvts. | ||

And history has shown us nony operates much different than the average player. He gets builds down and plays them out almost flawlessly. It's not about how many games you mass, it's what you're doing with your practice time. If it was purely about amount of practice Whitera would be king of the world, but instead he's relegated to being one of the top 3 toss in Europe. Dude plays thousands of games. | ||

ANyway. Whitera has 2 jobs (if i rembember correctly) and a family. Doubt he practices that much. | ||
