i dont see why Terran and even Zerg players QQing so much

While Watching TSL3 Ro8 on TalDarim Terran Player just keep doing MMM, while Protoss Player had to do T3units.
T3 units vs T1 units is not fair. how is T weak when they just need to spam T1 units?

Yesterday night on iNcontroL`s Stream, he played a Zerg that Mass Roaches and won the game.
we are not talking about a ramdon Protoss player, is iNcontroL losing to mass roaches. WTF?

Once Roaches are 2-2 they just dont die.


dude... have you actually played the game?

As for the other thing, building placement for all races is important to protect against harassment, including walling. I see many games where Zerg will wall with spine/hatch/queen/lings at nat and throw up an evo to protect against hellion runby, then cancel it after. Once you have lings being scouted is not a problem and you can usually get in with a drone before an ops wall is complete (if you are unlucky and scout last position you may need to sac an overlord true).

So basically, you are admitting that you are not at you're MMR level mechanic wise, and compensate this weakness with "clever cheese".

Every zerg get cheesed every two game in ladder game, don't worry we know how to react, like 70% of the time.

Did you put take any actual time to think before you posted this?

Honestly, it seems like you've played/watched sc2 for maybe a month or still living in the beta days

I doubt any top player would disagree that Terran is very demanding APM wise late game. Much more so than Toss and Zerg. Even Losira said Zerg are very easy to A move.

Yeah, terran army control is the hardest of the 3 race, but mechanics is not only about army control.
Terran need good multitasking, period. This does not change what I said.

who cares? This game is stupidly easy compared to brood war. You can make an argument this game requires very little mechanical skill at all if your comparing it to another RTS with a strong professional scene.

I could probably play Brood war for two weeks straight and still wouldn't be a C player

Aren't you supposed to get bans for things like that?
Regardless I thought MVP's point of view on why Terran seems weak is interesting it is kind of true that warp-in pretty much negates the length of the new GSL maps. wonder what he thinks would need to be changed for Terran other than removing such a racial defining mechanic as warp-in.

All good interviews and tour as usual Artosis can't wait for SlayerS tour and MMA+BoxeR interview!!

Many thanks to Artosis for taking the time to make these videos for us. I really loved Nestea's praise for Dimaga. Micro, macro, and decision making are so visible and achievable, but the intangibles are like a rare gift.

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.

To be honest balancing drones/unit is way easier than having to constantly remember to every...
17 seconds make SCVs
30 seconds make Marines
45 seconds make Tanks
42 seconds make Vikings
With each of those things going at a different pace all in different and constantly changing order.

Added to the need to constant add production facilities, expansions, upgrades, and manage building placement, like clockwork over and over again, while managing an army with some of the most micro intensive units (marine micro isn't as easy as it looks, especially when you snap back to your army and see a wall of green rolling towards it)

90% of the games a Terran player loses is because of the added up time of missed unit production resulting in unspent minerals and overall weaker armies. Something that can't happen to Zerg by the nature of your play, and something that doesn't effect a protoss player's play style (usually a P leaves some supply open for warp ins).


Honestly, all SC2 mechanics are nothing compared to BW. No race is hard compared to BW. You youngins just need to suck it up. Protoss, Terran, and Zerg (yes Zerg too) are not hard.

The hard part is not the race mechanics. People need to stop judging which race is harder than which race, because none of that matters. If I am missing production cycles, it's because I'm bad. Not because my race is "hard".


This is so insanely good, people in brood war dont complain about races being bad because they didnt have their mechanics down, yet somehow if you lose versus a terran zerg or protoss its because youre race is so hard you missed a larva inject, didnt build the right units, forgot a warping cycle etc etc

Just play better is really the only answer, unit balancing on the other hand is what makes matchups hard
