High level ofc. I was just tired of people saying balance doesn't exist in the lower leagues because it does. And really who should they balance for? The Korean scene shows zergs are having far more trouble than they are in the foreign scene so a zerg buff will make the Korean zergs on par but may make the foreign zergs more powerful in their respective scenes.

No, i don't think so. Ofc you can win with Zerg and so on. But one problem with SCII right now is, that for Zerg it's very hard to win constantly, because you are reluctant on mistakes of the other races more then those are reluctant on Zergs mistakes. Just my opinion. Although I'm only a Diamond Zerg who played Terran before. But it's my experience and also the way you see Zerg pros struggle to constantly get very good tournement results... look at DRG, Stephano or Nestea. All of them get knocked out in a very early round of a tournement in the last few major tournaments. I think that Terran is the most consistent race. Protoss is hard to tell but Toss is getting better and better in the last time.

Banshees are way better than wraiths, Leta is pleased .

This has been stated from many players and coaches all over the BW teams that BW zerg players are having a hard time in SCII.

You meant reliant, not reluctant.

The situation you're speaking of doesn't apply to every game. Generally when that happens, zerg has put himself in a bad spot because of overreacting or teching incorrectly due to poor scouting or hidden tech from the opponent. You don't start a game reliant on the other races to make a mistake, you put yourself in that situation accidentally and then you're relying on the opponent to make a mistake to climb your way back into the game. The difference is the other races have options available to them that provide openings for a comeback that Zerg doesn't. It's not a balance issue either, it's just the way the race works.

I feel like the reason a lot of Zergs are switching is because of just how different BW zerg is compared to SC2. They're not even remotely similar in playstyle or mechanics. The race takes a lot of getting used to and I feel like pros that are used to being amazing are going to want to show instant results/progression which SC2 zerg isn't going to give. Those that choose to stick with it and grind out the early learning process will be absolutely fine.

You should prob include this for hype.
Forgg: "When I started Starcraft 2 by myself at home, it took me about 2 months for me to reach top 10 in Grandmaster. If players work in a team, they should be able to do that even more quickly."

Yeah and lets just forget the second part of his answer:
"However, the problem is that Starcraft 2 is completely different to how it used to be. You have to pay attention to so many more things that may seem insignificant at first and skill on the ladder has improved considerably too. I improved pretty quickly then but if I were to do it now, it would take much longer. "

Of course...I finish the OP and get all excited about the possible race changes, and what do I see? Balance whining.

Asymmetical balance people. Get used to it. It existed in BW, it's not going anywhere.

More appropriately, Bisu stick with Toss! WOOT!
