Sounds more like a quote to cause drama (no offense to Artosis, I really do appreciate these tours). Maybe people have just been taking it the wrong way. An interview with Mvp alone should be enough hype, since they're so rare and he's so damn good at this game. The quote on the other hand has only stirred up argument.

Terran has received nerf after nerf in order to help zerg, and now they are weak, especially against protoss. The nerf to siege tanks really messed our mech up

Why does someone have to convince you that they don't? Even if they do hurt the Terrans, it's entirely possible that the Terrans were too strong on smaller maps, and thus the larger maps help bring things into balance.

I was curious how the GSL stats supported MVP's claim that big maps made Terran weaker, so I went back and took all the race stats on Crevasse, Tal'Darim, and Terminus(the 3 biggest new maps) from GSTL 1 & 2, GSL WC(the tournament rounds), GSL Mar code S & A & up/down, and GSL May code S & A so far. Here's where we stand with wins between the match-ups.

Terminus RE

ZvT - 5/4
TvP - 10/7
ZvP - 5/5

Tal'Darim Altar

ZvT - 4/9
TvP - 13/7
ZvP - 6/5

Crevasse

ZvT - 6/9
TvP - 3/1
ZvP - 2/4

Totals:
ZvT - 15/22 Terran wins 59%
TvP - 26/15 Terran wins 63%
ZvP - 13/14 Protoss wins 52%

Looks like Terrans are still kicking butt in Korea.


You can't be serious posting this...


uhh why not?


Because it's evidence. And you can't post evidence in a thread about who's the weakest race. I mean, that might lead to objective determinations or something, rather than speculation based entirely on subjective impressions.

And we can't have that, now can we?


There isn't much valid statistic inference you can take from that data due to discrepancies in player skill and build order (i.e. the number of all-in games).


Perhaps there's an argument to be made for that, but you're going to need to provide evidence to support this position. Namely, some objective way to measure "player skill" (good luck with that), the number of all-in games that happened within that GSL. And most importantly, an argument that states that all-ins should be disregarded for the purposes of determining imbalance.

Statistics provide the most effective objective means for determining imbalances. So arguing against the statistics will require stronger objective evidence.


The amount of bias and false testimony in these "statistics" renders them almost completly inconsequential. Like he stated, there is far too many variables involved in these statistics to draw any sort of conclusion from them. The only way they could truly be valid would be to organized them from a certain set of requirements such as "economics of each player being the same (even that has too many variables)" "micro being the same" "strategies being similar (i.e: all ins vs macro based drawn out games)" "quality of player" "players mind being in the same state of mind (i.e: sick, depressed over out-of-game event, jet-lagged, etc etc..." there are too many variables in this equation to draw any sort of real conclusion from the stats. I won't even start to get into the extremley small sample-size of the GSL games. Don't care if it's been 2 GSTLs and 5 seasons so far. The meta games have changed so drasticly that even considering including anything more than the current season is laughable. It's like saying fruitdealer's play in season one was good compared to the play of zergs in season 3.

If the interviews could be edited so the korean buts are taken out/dubbed over, this would be awesome. They are like 50% longer than they should be



The meaning of these videos is to learn more about the korean sc2 scene. Deleting the korean buts would somewhat be disrespectful.

Zerg is only weak to the Koreans because they don't use infestors nor transition into corruptor/broodlord/infestor terran rape army!

I'm glad that IMMVP has come out to admit that Terran is the weakest race now. The cumulative changes by Blizzard to Terran has really hurt the Terran race. That is a refershing viewpoint coming from IMMVP, the best Terran player in the world, as IMMVP knows the strengths and weaknesses of the Terran race the best.


IMMvp has admitted that he;s a whiner in the past.

Results and statistics don't show much, but we wouldn't have seen the amount of TvTs we did in the GTSL if the Terran race was weak.

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.

And regarding the whole "Terran has received nerf after nerf," so has protoss.
Zealot: amount of shield decreased and build time increased.
Stalker: Minor change to base damage but decrease to worth of upgrades
Sentry: Damage decreased and force fields made destructible by massive units
High Templar: Radius of Psi Storm decreased, Khaydarin Amulet removed
Immortal: Build time increased by 15 seconds
Colossus: Damage decreased
Void Ray: Damage decreased, armor decreased, cost increased, range decreased, damage decreased again, flux vanes removed from the game.
Mothership: Build time increased, food cost increased, number of attacks decreased, shield decreased, health decreased, acceleration decreased, and vortex screwed up.

The only thing I can think of that was helped was the phoenix, getting the buff to build time and moving shot.

So...yeah, protoss has gotten the same deal as terran in this regard.
They're fools. You should eat them.

Shocking that 8 of your posts are crying about Protoss.

Honestly get over yourself, just because you play a race doesn't mean it's the hardest.
