What the hell does not being beta have to do with anything? Terran was confirmed overpowered after months of crushing tourney results, and nerfed. Now they are doing well. They are not doing bad nor are they doing too good, terran is pretty good right now.

Yeah those months of winning are from the first patches, you make it sound like race takes time to lose power, when really one patch can throw the entire game off kilter. You also seem to be blowing my speculation that T is UP out of preposition. I don't think it's impossible to win as Terran, just from what I've seen, Terran has to put a higher level of work in to get a win than say... Protoss (respect for you Zerg players out there).

Yes MVP, you are right, Terran is definitely the weakest race, ever since beta all Terran has gotten were nerfs, and other races got buffs for some reason, and now after the infestor buff, TvZ is looking to be so much tougher in the late game, there is no way you can deal with equal base macro late game vs Zerg that goes for the Corruptor/Infestor/BroodLord combination, infestors tare through armored and bio units with fungal and on top of it immobilizes units and do +30% damage against armored over time, and then corruptors come in and corrupt units making them take +20% extra damage, talk about an overkill, right?

And yet every time Idra comments on balance, we get 45345436 threads asking "(Zerg unit) is it viable anymore" "Zerg - an inherent disadvantage?" "Can Zerg compete at the highest level?"

I agree Terran is weakest on these big maps. But I play Terran so I may be biased.

agreed. It takes a while to re-enforce your army when your pushing towards your opponents base.

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 don't know about TvZ, although late game is definitely difficult due to infestors destroying marines and marines being an absolute must against zerg air. However, I will hold judgement till Terrans start using a lot more ghosts in late game TvZ.

Having said that TvP is pretty hard atm and it has quite a lot to do with bio without stim being not really that good against toss. The late stim does a lot more than take out stim rushes (they were kinda lame anyways) but it makes early game toss alot more safer which sets them up for a much stronger mid-game.
Mech is definitely a viable choice but watching pro matches is a lot different than playing it and mech positioning is so darn unforgiving in TvP that I much rather prefer having a bunch of marines against banes.

Edit: Balance discussion aside these are really good interviews and is interesting to see pros mirror a little bit of the communities sentiments.

It's mind-boggling that Incredible Miracle still don't have sponsors. Even if LosirA was invited to Europe/U.S. how would he procure the funds to get there at a low-risk rate.
