 Hopefully in the expansion TvZ and TvP will stop being a race against time to win the game quickly before it becomes unmanagable. Even if they balance it 50/50 in WoL (Terran early game success vs Zerg/Protoss ability to survive and win the game) it still isn't particularly fun or interesting having phases in the game where one race is so much stronger than the other. | ||

Well I'm looking forward to seeing how MKP and Maru do in their groups, that will be a big indication for me at least. Considering the sad zealot fanclub was full of people bemoaning earth shattering results like Tester falling out of code A (oh wait he wasn't practising), it isn't much of a stretch really... From my brief look through this months TLPD we're also heading towards Terran overall winrates on par, or worse than the Protoss results at the time of that thread too... | ||

But it's also wrong to overestimate every little move a (pro) player makes during a game. This insane glorification of banal moves really pisses me off. As if a nexus cancel is somewhat new or insanely creative these days. This stuff has been around forever. yeah it was a well executed 2base timing attack. But that's what you should expect at the very least from a (code s) pro player. This is nothing you should go crazy about.... -_- haha, i guess mypost came across a little condescending but i don't like whiners. especially when they take things for gratned | ||

I think that while there might have been a couple of morons doing that, the sad zealot fanclub was based on the continual domination against Protoss in tournaments around the world, and particularly in the GSL at the highest level of play, for a substantial period of time. | ||

Mind you creep spread is insane currently with the current buff to queens. Terrans need to adapt somehow, but I don't know exactly how? Anyone have an answer? I am currently in diamond MMR... I just don't get it dude...sc2 is ruined for me too | ||

Well, I guess I'll watch GSL code S this evening... feels like the last stand. There were no zergs in round 8 of GSL code S previous GSL. | ||

And the reason for that were Zerg going 1-7 against protoss in that particular season, while being at 50% against Terran. So you'd say that a zerg buff that aims at ZvT was the right solution for that problem? | ||

Also, since when the zerg buffs have something to do with a protoss beating a terran? The post i quoted had NOTHING to do with the current buff. | ||

I stopped laddering after queen buff as well. Playing terran was just not fun. Didn't understand the idea of all those nerfs/buffs... MMR was something like high masters at that point. | ||

I get TvZ as probably damn near 50% of my matches and it is full of roach/ling/bling all-ins(that can be somewhat macro'd out of) or insane creep spread into late game TvZ which is extremely rough for the Terran unless you have MMA type multitasking. It isn't fun feeling hopeless in about 50% of the games you play. Now if you have a KR account, like I do, there isn't near as many Zergs and ladder is more enjoyable(although there has been a recently influx of Zerg on that server, imo). I can understand why a lot of Terrans don't want to play anymore, especially if you happened to be a mid-high masters player before the patch. | ||

Actually the original article (here) mostly bases its argumentation around MC's slump (that in terms of his results, has continued to this day). | ||
