I agree with the inclination that PvZ needs something because it seems pros and myself are getting picked apart on ladder with Mutas. This being said, storms are extremely effective.
Stop doing 2 base pushes that don't work and defend in time. That's what needs to be done. If you see pros getting picked apart by muta play, then you watch wrong players. Sage and Squirtle seem to deal with mutas with no problem, cuz they don't get behind in early game and they just get templars and defend on 3 bases with blink. Beating people like Stephano, Losira and Nesta consistently in 20-30+ min long games even on tal'darim.

Do you feel like the HT storm radius is too large? I feel like it is but I have an abysmal TvP record and it may just be that I suck. But here's what I'm thinking:
Terran doesnt stand a chance in an engagement without stim. So once an harmy has stimmed, they are borderline yellow in health. Then a storm comes in and can hit up to 3/4 of your army. This pushes them all to red health!
Now, keep in mind that the main reason ghosts were nerfed was that they removed the shields (essentially half health) of protoss units but even before the nerf, the EMP radius was still smaller than a storm. Is it fair that a storm removes half of the health, if not more of a terran bio ball and has a radius that is now much larger than an EMP? If you think it is fair, what do you do to get around the issue?

I dont think the radius is too big, emp raidus is smaller but i think it is balanced

Do you care to offer any reasons or examples why? Or are you one of those who thinks that terran has it too easy and it should remain that way simply because thats how it started?

Well the general consensus is that as EMP damage is instant and you can't dodge it, where as storms are very easy to micro out of, its logical to have a larger radius for a storm as its a DOT.
Clarification - when I say 'easy to doge' I mean for a pro Terran play with extremely good micro. I'm not talking about Joe Diamond here.

Does anyone know where dignitas select lives? I could have sworn I just saw him walking down the street (10 mins ago) in new York City. I was wearing a dignitas hoodie and he didn't say anything so I have my doubts.

I believe that KiwiKaki is very much under rated in this currently Korean dominant scene.

I just played my placement match for this season, It was against a masters zerg and i was high diamond last season, yet I still got placed back into diamond WTF BLIZZARD?

Thanks for the link!
I'm sad that Blizzard is "giving up" on the Mothership and replacing it. I don't have any answers and I understand Blizzard wants a tightly balanced game with units that all see regular use in the metagame. So, sure, it doesn't make sense to keep the Mothership around when it's mostly a novelty item. But it's so cool. I would be overjoyed if Blizzard could've found a way to re-balance the Mothership to make it a more integral game piece in the mid/late game.

mothership is near useless in pvt but in pvz it is pretty darn useful, especially if the zerg is going for a BL composition
on NA, people love telling me that i'm horrible as they lose. what is with this? i had three different people tell me this yesterday as i go through their base (masters). this doesn't happen in KR, people either ragequit or gg out.

my unit control is so fail. I was mad that it's been placing me against high gold/low plat opponents but then puts me in the bottom of silver in the beginning of the new season after placement (still dont get that one), but then i scout this guy going 8 gates on 1 base with two warp prisms, so I'm totally ready for it...and instead of clicking all my stalkers and blinking them I blink 3. and the rest of the stalkers were just sitting there the whole time while he ate my base. my immortals? with my three stalkers. or as terran, im elevatoring up, but i move my medivacs slightly because they're flying off and my fucking marines decide to start chasing the medivacs because im trying to load them up to drop. granted i still think all drop ships are sort of retarded sometimes, but...damn i fail.

Hello everyone I just registered to Team Liquid's site. I played broodwar and got to c- on ICCUP. I been playing SC2 for a week now and finished season 4 on top 8 Gold division. I was wondering if there is any tournaments for bronze, silver or gold?

I was gold in season 4 and i played 1 placement for season 5 and they placed me in bronze....????

Aww man, I'd forgotten about that.  Yeah, I -love- the carrier. If the purpose of the Tempest is to shore up Protoss anti-air capabilities against Zerg, then I would've been much happier to see interceptors receive a buff that made them stronger against biological air units. Like give their air-to-air attack splash damage.

You mean the green outline beneath the holographic projection of the pylon, right? I don't have my gaming computer with me but I believe the option is "Display Build Grid" under "Gameplay" options.
