Flash said "Toss is too strong, I regreat picking terran" According to him, it's been 10 days since he's started seriously practicing, but he rolled ladder with just 3 units only.


Only the slightest possibility that Flash might reconsider his choice to play terran makes me nervous :S
Just play terran Flash. Don't look back!

He is supposed to help us terrans out of the dark age with large macro maps and no viable terran lategame, lol

Then why more people dont play P and win more of the big tournaments?

Protoss is strong
Protoss players are bad ( exept a few one )


people shouldn't say stupid things like this and get away with it...

either way the bw players are gnerally switching to toss, or staying same race

cool story bro, and now, why I cannot say shit like:

Terran is OP
Terran players are bad (except MKP and MVP)

Zerg is OP
Zerg players are horrible (except DRG and maybe Stephano)

Its seems like general consensus to BW players that P is best race. Makes me sad hearing FBH switch

Someone should do some statistical analysis on TL's forum balance whine. Would be funny to see the trends : like "Terran OP" before pros figured out 111 and "Protoss OP" nowadays.

Well none of top EU P players were able to stop Stephano's roaches at Take's recent invitational. They all just got crushed by that even they knew what was coming. Clearly P overpowered...

You leave Z alone as P.. you die to mass / tech.
You leave P alone as T.. you die to tech.

Not sure if trolling. The name of the guy playing WoW isn't Stork's Korean name.

Ah that's true. I still grin when I remember all the 2base all-ins that Protoss were doing without experimenting with anything else. But what do I know ~

It's silly to switch to the strongest race anyway. If it's really that strong, Blizzard will do something about it. They should understand that right? It works like that in SC2.

Actually that's a good point. What if they think that the game is gonna stay the way it is now forever? xP

Pls no Flash, no. Don't join the dark force. Keep playing Terran, I beg you
Marine is Terran strongest unit but it might be Terran's biggest weakness. Bcos of Marine so OP, other Terran unit regrettably have to be weak..

Lol its to early to call this, almost everyone tries different races at the beginning, in the end they choose after SOME time and stick to it. Flash said he still did not experience all 3 races and he was playing terran mainly. Lets wait after OSL for more concrete standings, because now it will change a lot, all players could aswell switch again even those who are playing in masters/GM.

I'm not saying they'll patch if a Protoss win the GSL. But surely if there are 32 Protoss in Code S Blizzard will do something you know. It does work like that, you cannot let a game in a state of complete imbalance if you care for esports just one bit.

So, I'm saying that even if pros believe a race is stronger at the moment, doesn't mean it will stay that way for too long, so it's silly to choose based on current balance. Surely you must see that right? And I'm not even talking about innovation from players themselves, balancing around maps and metagame shifts...

Edit: The keyword here is "current". Balance shifts all the time. If they were joining in late 2010, they would have all picked Terran and been doing stim timings and abusing cliffs with siege tanks right?

You leave Z alone as P.. you die to mass / tech.
You leave P alone as T.. you die to tech.

What top EU P players are better than Stephano?
And putting on pressure vs P and Z are two completely different things. Forcing unit production so zerg can't drone is key in both T and P vs. Z, while in TvP, at most u force some sentry warp ins.

You said "It works like that in SC2", I said "Not" as in a "Not-joke". Because Blizzard is just trolling us (terran players) since august 2010.

Look at how action packed that ZvP is god damn I hope it can be like that in SC2 some day.


Problem is the way SC2 is designed doesn't really cater to action all over the map style. In BW, you can have small engagements all over the place. This is because defenders advantage is much greater and a smaller amount of units can hold off/trade efficiently vs a significantly larger force. So you end up with players having about 50% of their army defending their bases and the rest all over the map.

In SC2, the bigger army (even 20% more support) has a huge advantage. Unless the unit comps are hard hard counters, the bigger army will win and more efficiently. So most SC2 engagements are ball vs ball. You do get multi prong attacks sometimes but most are just base harass and lasts a short time. You rarely see multi fights in different location. Because it is just better to your entire army all together.


This is probably more true for protoss, they like their balls clump and tight,

zerg and terran, not so much. It really boils down to the map types, and we ought to get rid of all these choke point/few entrances maps



I think it's because it's just so much easier to move your entire army around now. Before, if you tried to move 40 dragoons across the map they would go all different directions and just keep bumping into each other but now pathfinding is better and you can put all your units on 1 hotkey.


That's one point, but the defenders advantage is a main factor. Unit Pathing and Control groups just emphazises the lazyness of players but would be seen less (after a lot of time) if there were the same defenders advantage as in bw.
