Thanks A lot Artosis! These tours are always nice! Might I recommend visiting the TLAF-oGs house next maybe? I'm really interested In the training environment the liquid guys are living in!

Heres the translation:

"After waking from sleep
Please clean your spot
(Clean well!!)
Anything rolling on the floor
will be thrown away (socks, clothing, etc.)"

I dont think one player whining justifies months of your complaining on TL.


I don't think mvp was necessarily whining so much as stating a pretty obvious fact that Terran is hard to play on large maps due to the inmobility of their units. Even marines are immobile without dropships (which are very susceptible to ambushes/getting caught). Whether or not that makes T the "hardest" race is totally subjective and debatable - useless as well, I might add. The point is though, that any player of a certain race will say that his race is the hardest to play - just the nature of professional gaming in general.

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".

There's way more to Starcraft than Mules vs Chronoboost vs Spawn Larva.

Yet mvp has arguably the most recent success of any pro BW player who has switched over. Either way, that's a strawman - mvp wasn't arguing the production mechanics like these guys are, he was merely commenting about map distances affecting racial imbalances.

Irrelevant.

OT: Thanks Artosis! Always great to see more content coming from you.

Is it just me, or does it sometimes seem like the koreans understand English? Especially with the coach and MVP (who grinned as soon as Artosis mentioned balance) I kept feeling like they had at least a general idea of what was being said.

On another note, this house was so unbelievably better than the Prime and Star Tale ones, the living conditions (although we didn't see the bedrooms) looked much less "cheap."

Interesting things to note, inconsistent hardware around the room - infact one of the monitors was even a 4:3 (which is very bad for SC2, widescreen monitors DO have an advantage)

Plus the fact that he's NOT EVEN COMPARING MULES to CHRONOBOOST, but comparing them to warpgates....

How are those even supposed to be in the same catagory....

You are my FAV commentator bar none! LOVE YOU! <3
