Masters is filled with noobs, yes, even on Korea.

I think once Flash realizes his timings he won't ever call protoss OP lol. I can picture once the clock on the game time hit past 10 minutes and his reactor starport ships out some medivacs its gg to every protoss who stands in his way.

Except Squirtle, he's a boss. :D

Terran has the highest skill peak, so since he's not that good yet he can't do as much in-game as the other top Terrans.

But it's true that TvP balance is a joke at the moment, and that's because Blizzard have this strange obsession with thinking that Terran having very strong early game and Protoss having impossibly strong late-game constitutes to balance. Just because the ladder win-rates and tournament win-rates look good.

In TvZ (my favourite match-up to watch) both Terran and Zerg are strong at different stages in the game, but in the end both can get to max with army compositions that are balanced provided the proper control and positioning (vikings vs corruptor vs thors vs infestors vs broodlords vs tanks vs ultras etc). Whereas with TvP it's literally Terran strong early game >>> Protoss strong late game, nothing else. Terran doesn't have anything to tech to except medivacs, ghosts and vikings, and Protoss doesn't have any early cost-effective units against Terran bio-medivac play.

TvP is obviously imbalanced, even if the win rates are even, because the game is NEVER balanced at any point, there are just extended periods of clear imbalance that the game ends in.

I think there's a problem with the balance. Protoss is overpowered so I hope they balance it out.

What exactly about Protoss is overpowered?
Everything. Forcefields are OP, gateways are OP too... More importantly there are continuous patches but it seems like Terran is the only one that doesn't get buffs. I'm worried because they're on a downward trend.

Well I hate to admit it being a protoss fanboy but terran is weaker in the late game but super strong just as medivacs and stim comes out. I feel kinda bad for him, we are all expecting him to 1a every game and win but he is behind from the FPVOD I saw so he will need time

From a BW perspective, I'm sure five second reinforcements and having the ability to temporarily terraform maps to create chokes does seem OP.

Its fantastic to read he is excited and interested in the game though. Hardest part of the switch will be staying motivated.

It's funny how he in one sentence says he is complete noob, and later proclaims protoss to be overpowered :p

Why do u like bio Flash, whyyyyy?

Probably because he's realized that Terran Bio is one of the best scaling unit compositions when it comes to speed and control.

It's much easier for him to learn the mechanics and get fast with bio than it is for him to develop the same starsense he had in Brood War and be able to make the crucial decisions that playing mech forces in some situations.

Yeah I wasn't serious but I'm still waiting for the day when someone figures out how to play mech TvP properly and the crying about how t1 units have a hard time against a protoss t3 army stops.

It's really almost impossible because the Immortal hardcounters any sort of mech based play.


Imagine a world where Terran also needed a variety of t1 + t2 + t3 units or the very least where they use marines or even Hellions to focus down the Immortals. O_O

lol people saying flash can't complain about balance. Regardless of his play time so far, as arguably to greatest RTS player ever, I'll take his word for it. Playing both games at the same time seems pretty rough

Well, I think Flash said truth here : it's very difficult to play terran at Masters level. I'm sure he'll change his mind when he'll be better... or not. God works in mysterious ways
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...
