Says absolutely nothing toward the overall balance of the game. 11 terrans 1st or 2nd places in 2011 , compared to 9 toss and 6 zerg from the major tounries listed in the liquidpedia.. The WGSL had a tvt final just recently. In the current gsl season there are more terran left then any other race and the tsl is guaranteed to have at least 1 terran in the final. Percentage wise terran have being relatively higher or on par with toss, in representation, in almost every tourney from my quick analysis from liquidpedia. Statistically IMMVP, who admittedly is in a slouch being in code A, really has no argument for terran being "underpowered". | ||

In my opinion generally from watching the games and nominations, TvP: Quite balanced, Protoss with amulet nerf means that some pros like San (who use it a lot) will have to come up with something else. But then again stim timing is delayed too. However I feel if protoss plays a more standard, and do not do anything fancy like early DT or air, they will come up on top. Also have to stay with same upgrades. People are saying thorzain won etcetc, but it was barely, and he always have superior upgrades by A LOT, some are 00 vs 22. *If you are still not convinced and think that Terran is overpowered? Explain why most of the pros prefer to pick terrans in the nominations for GSL? More so than zerg even. TvZ: I think this is quite balanced, and results show that the better player kind of wins. Some zergs are complaining about omg siege tanks blah blah OP, but zergs need to be a bit more creative, some ppl do early broods, roach drops, nydus, high econ banes..etc and these bring results! PvZ: I think this one is quite imbalanced atm. Zerg has to be very creative to win this. I feel if protoss again does not do fancy or greedy builds, a good timing push should kill the zerg. But I have seen spines that can block this... @Mitchlew i feel u are looking at only part of the picture. You are forgetting Jinro losing 2 times to nestea in the same group. And MC did play FE against 3+ rax, one was i believe 1 gate expand and one is pylon expand. On xelnaga, that is risky to pull off... As for San, as he said in the interview, he is disappointed by the amulet nerf, which could say that he is still adapting.... | ||

As for terran being the weakest... I wouldn't agree that they currently are... however it does seem like the race that will be left behind as the game gets figured out. Between zergs quick armies and nydus worms, and protoss' warp technology, I could definitely see Terran's being left behind as the meta game progresses... but obviously I am not a credible source for that kind of prediction.. it's just something I thought about the other day. | ||

You have failed to even give a reason that terran is UP other than because Mvp said so | ||

MVP didn't really say terran is weakest race. His arguments were more along the lines of, maps are now a lot bigger and so (i) early game terran pressure has become weaker against zerg and they can drone up more, (ii) timing pushes against toss have become weaker but warp gate tech with proxy pylons have allowed toss to get around the larger map sizes and their rushes still remain strong. Thus, at the moment he is finding it difficult to win with terran. Take it for what you will. | ||

Yes, Terran has been hurt by a lot of nerfs but do you think terrans made a significant effort and not just rely on the strat that works so strong before. Look at Thorzain, this guy coming out of nowhere revolutionizing TVP beating MC and Tyler. I just think that Terran players are just lazing around relying on things that works before. It's not the race but the actual player. This. I mean no offense to Terran players, but I am not seeing the same effort put into learning about the game as I am from Protoss or Zerg. For example, look at the strategy channels on the NA server. The Zerg channel will have 80 people, the Protoss channel will have 70, and the Terran one will have 6. Or, for example, I was surprised to find after discussing the Thorzain games (both after defeating Tyler and today) to find that many Terrans did not know that Thors stunned their targets that were being hit by the 250mm cannons or that vikings had such high dps on the ground. Many who I talk to think that when I say build order, I mean "bio" or "mech." The game isn't far from being balanced, but I am getting sick of seeing "finally someone admits terran is weakest" or "hardest to use" when that is simply untrue. On a lighter note, lol at Artosis in the first vid. | ||
