What for? Stepano has never beat MC. DRG has always beat MC.


MC has beaten DRG before, only online though

edit: KSL



He should destroy DRG off line too if he did not decide to try carriers... lol

Haha Nestea qq about Toss again?

This makes me remember one of his old interview where he said he had hard time against Protoss, then the right next one he said he only won 90% against them.

The more time you spend complaining about the "imbalance" of a certain race the less time you are spending figuring out how to beat that "imbalance".

That sentence is just stupid. Do you really think Nestea is practising 5 hours and the other 5 hours he is monologuing and complaining about imbalance? What does "spend time complaing about imbalance" even mean? you mean the time spent talking on twitter??? really???

Why is it sad?
If football was played with two differently sized goals, one big and one small, dont you think the pro football players would complain about it?
Obviously football doesnt feature different races, but you get the point.

Fact is, for these sc2 pro players, this is their career, and if their career is based on a flawed game that isnt balanced well enough, and they happened to choose the weaker race, then not complaining would be the equivalent to the smaller sized goal team not complaining about their goal´s size, which is not sad but simply RETARDED.

Sc2 is still a very young game and no one can claim that the game is balanced or imbalanced.
There is a higher chance it is utterly imbalanced, but since players arent perfect, and the game will never be figured out completely (not even in 10 years), the utter imbalance balances itself out within the metagame.
The better player that uses the better strategy wins, regardless of race... however....

There always is a time when a particular metagame instance is utterly imbalanced and there actually isnt any way of counterbalancing it with another imbalance, like the marine scv rush on small maps like steps of war.
A counter was never figured out, rather the map was taken out of all tournaments.
Given enough time we might have seen someone figure something out, chance is high though that it might have not had any counter measure.

There is a good chance that something will be figured out, something that can be abused to counteract any given imbalance towards their race, but there also is a high probability that there actually is no counterbalance for that particular scenario.
There is value in complaining about something, even if there only is a small chance that it might indeed be an issue.

Sc2 is a game of imbalances that counterbalance each other, claiming that it is balanced is just naive.
Calling progamers that complain about their race sad is just as naive.

yes, u linking to a random stat clearly makes this thread about Korean pros fighting over twitter obsolete, thanks man, you are a hero


For what it's worth, it's pretty much all the stats.

But it's still fun to hear even the top level pros whine when there's nothing to whine about ^^


you missed the point... you can't just say the game is balanced based on ladder stats. try to use your brain, this is so obvious and basic...


The stats are based on tournaments. Read as: top tier progamers, GM players, and high masters players. And not generic ladder games from people who don't know how to play.

I'm using my brain and reading skills. Thanks Bet you're embarrassed.

The way i see it.

If the pros whine.... its probably true.
Why?... because they know more than you, Play better than you, And understand the game better than you.

If you disagree with me.. Its like You being a virgin teaching a porn star how to have sex.

Yes because that really matters.

No what matters is the current state of the game, and nothing else. You don't base nerfs/buffs over prize money you base it off the matchup.

/facepalm

And current state of the game shows us that toss has 41% win rate against Zerg....


From what? Ladder? Tournaments? Before latest patch? After latest patch? Show me the statistic.

The only thing that should matter is pro gamer vs. pro gamer % after the latest patch.




January TLPD winrate thread

Even that statistic isn't a good indicator for play at the top of the Starcraft II world. Those are looking at all the games from your daily cups to the GSL. The fact of the matter is, if InControl loses to Destiny, that says nothing about balance at the Code S level.

While that's a stupid statement (are you saying only bad tosses vs good zerg games were in January? or only incontrol played all toss games?), korean stats are not really that much different, about 43% win rate.


And the month right before it was reversed in Toss's favor. A race winning more in 1 month doesn't mean anything when it comes to balance; this game is far too complex for it to work like that.

You seriously need to learn how to read and click links, dude. The site has international tournament stats and Korean-only tournament stats. And plenty of pro-gamers are also top master/ GM on ladder, so there's overlap.

I've never seen so much fail in one person's set of posts. The link was even provided for you. Click it -.-' Sigh.
