I think the really telling thing is the fact the IM coach is saying the game needs to be balanced better by Blizzard. I'm surprised no-one has mentioned that in this thread yet.
Don't argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I loved the interview with the coach and the humility of MVP and NesTea.

Hwani made me LOL so hard at "IM would love to coach a mature, serious foreigner who would be able to practice a lot and get along with others. So Greg [IdrA] would be the last person they'd want!"

Thanks Artosis! Your dedication to eSports is unbelievable.

Naniwa is playing in the Rakaka "Road to Korea" tournament, btw. As for whether or not he wants to stay there - who knows.

Weakest? Hardly.

Maybe hardest to play, but even that is stretching it.

I'm sorry but it's not beta anymore...

Yeah T is much harder than zerg and especially toss.


How? Mechanically? Zerg is clearly harder mechanically, just the nature of the race and balancing drone/unit production.


I play Zerg... and even I think that Terran mechanics are the hardest to do perfectly. But then again I just might be just so used to Zerg that I don't realize how difficult it can be.


Agreed. Terran mechanics and micro is way harder than Zerg imo. I think that Zerg requires a better game sense/game knowledge/timings though.

And toss?

ez


read my mind. formula for success with toss

Good BO + Good FF = win

Don't forget the ability to move around an automatically formed death ball!


Yes, obviously protoss requires no skill and blindly a-moving results in a win every time, with no actual knowledge of timings, micro or macro at all, and no user is biased to their own race at all.

Also, terran bioball also autoforms, i dont understand why that is even an issue or a point of contention.

these posts sound like something out of combat ex... I don't even know why I even participate in this kind of discussion, its retarded.
Chill: "Please let us know when you will be streaming yourself eating a hat so I can put it on the calendar. Thanks."

i wish that balance wasn't an issue because it's not, the games fine and that's why players from each race win their fair share

The amount of money and professional prestige these pros gain hinges upon the relative power of the race they play. Of course they care about balance - the stronger the realistic power of the race, and the weaker the perceived power of the race, the better - so everyone whines to some extent. No professional player will publicly state that the race he/she plays is overpowered.

12 years later, every single Terran player in BW still thinks they play the underpowered race.

It's funny, because so many Bonjwas have been Terran...chance? LOL. Tanks, tanks, and more tanks...

Terran weakest? I lol'ed pretty hard. Just because MVP said it doesn't make it true. Try asking some zerg and protoss pros.

Which I think is one reason why every race is so defensive about balance-- no one wants to be the Protoss of SC:BW, the "unfinished" race which had a few heroes but which by and large has not been on par with Zerg, and certainly not Terran.

so I just noticed, it looks like some players don't play with any sound

wonder how much it helps with training

probably puts a lot more focus on keeping track of what's happening on the mini map

The fact that the coach said P>T>Z means a ton more than what the players say. But if a coach thinks the races are imbalanced that means a lot really.

I trust the coaches opinion on balance more so than any of the players since he's exposed to all of it through his players, and has the least motivation for bias surrounding his answer.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

SlayerSAlicia mentioned in a recent interview that his biggest shock in GSTL was playing with music, he said it totally wrecked his concentration. I think it must help a good deal, will definitely be playing without music in the near future to test it out.

That being said, some players were also clearly playing casually. There was one Terran guy on the left-hand wall of the room playing with one hand haha. I think most players still keep sound on.

after the shit ton of T nerfs and the changing of the map pool, its understandable as to why mvp isn't too happy with T. At the same time the map pool is way better than it was before, even if it's disadvantageous to T somewhat.

Please somebody convince me that large maps don't hurt terran and favor the other races? Please....I want to learn these magical secrets!


And I might be mixing up Naniwa with another player but I know for a fact that Dimaga wants to stay in Europe.
