Whining about balance when he's not close to being a high level player (yet) isn't a very smart move. All of his game knowledge from BW doesn't translate to SC2, he'd do good by waiting with comments about balance until he has experienced playing at the very top. | ||

It's only his first thoughts on the game. Relax. | ||

Well, Protoss should at least get to win some tournaments and some money before all the QQ comes pouring down. Here's the recent list... http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Premier_Tournaments 2 P wins out of 11 in 2012 7 T wins out of 11 in 2012 Just data! | ||

That's based on tournament earnings etc. over the entire life of SC2. We're talking about the CURRENT metagame/balance. | ||

You couldn't do any of this stuff in BW! Why can you make a wall any time you want? Why can your dragoons teleport? Why did zealots just come out of that umbrella?" Though I am sure BW protoss players are asking "Why are marines good? What is there rocket that keeps landing on their minerals? Who is that large man with the marines that shoots rockets? OH GOD! WHY IS HE SO FAST? WHY IS THE DROPSHIP HEALING HIM?" Best post ever!!!!!!!!!! Bump | ||

The whole thought process that every race deserves equal tournament wins is mind boggling. | ||

He is such a competitive player, and it seems that his competitiveness is going to carry over into SC2. I think his competitive attitude will be the most deadly part about him, as it gives him the mental edge that will be essential to his success as he climbs closer to the top in SC2. I think quite a few pros in SC2 are lacking in this regard, and for the top BW pros that do remain competitive, their mental fortitude will be a key part of their edge over some current SC2 pros. On one hand, I wish this transition was more comprehensive so that Flash can practice SC2 full-time without having to worry about OSL or hybrid Proleague shenanigans. On the other hand, I'm always eager for more Flash vs Fantasy in BW, though that possibility seems ever less likely as BW begins to close down. edit: Heck, he claims to not even be all that shaken-up about his dual losses in the Proleague finals. That is some impressive mental discipline, especially considering how close and clutch that entire series was. | ||

Is that recent enough for you? | ||
