Terrans complain that they have no more options early game. 90% of the TvZs were reactor hellion expand, that tells me that reactor hellion expand is actually very good, really really good. Now its slitghly less good, as zergs can counter it more effectively, its not like it simply vanished and its shit that will cause you to lose if you do it, its still good. And good is OK. Dont even need to point out the 111, right? | ||

This bothers me to no end everytime somebody suggests it because it makes no sense in the context of the game we're playing. Each race plays vastly different and supports vastly different playstyles. I will never play protoss in a serious way. Ever. Not because I think they're the weakest, but just because it seems incredibly boring. The idea is not that any specific player should switch races, but the fact that anyone can switch races. If a race is significantly overpowered, we ought to see a massive imbalance in terms of player population at competitive levels. Since we don't really see that, the conclusion is that no race is significantly overpowered. | ||

Game with so many factors will never be balanced on other than statistical level. | ||

Losing a match that's worth 20,000 USD because your opponent abused something that is imbalanced isn't fun. Flash is probably stressed as hell because he's worried about his future. You don't lose games, because of something that your opponent did. Terrans do fine in tournaments atm, why would he be worried? | ||

And other players have had diffirent conditions and approach to training before, there was enaugh time to catch up in skill, some were younger, some of them didn't play sc:bw. You can't know how a player would do as other race in competitive play untill he actually does it. | ||

Yes, certain races are OP, but only within the current meta. You think BW wasn't back and forth for years? It's only so balanced because it's been out so long and there are viable counters to everything. There are still thousands of creative ways to beat annoying strategies just waiting for people to figure them out. PvZ, for example, is just now shifting to favor Zerg. For the longest time it was a Protoss-favored matchup and Zergs cried imba. But lo and behold, the balance has shifted with no buffs or nerfs. Have some more faith in the community's creativity, guys. Stop pressuring Blizzard when you should be pressuring yourself to figure out a way to beat x strategy. | ||

MVP is the best player to come over from BW that has had enough time to practice the game. Flash just started playing, and he's phenomenal already. How does SC1 skill not equal SC2 skill? Pretty sure you just proved my point. Whatever, enjoy eating your words in the near future.  | ||

When you haven't even seen him play a single game yet. Or do you mean reaching Masters league? Because that's not a big deal. Didn't Aphrodite hit Master's League as her first placement? | ||
