Another dumb argument... if something is easier/harder for a race as a whole, it affects every player on every level, denying that is just stupidity. The only thing that might not affect lower level players is very micro intensive units that are nerfed/buffed because lower level players cannot micro them anyways, but I cant think of any situation where that comes into play in SC2 | ||

While that is true, there are wayyyy less pro players than low level players. They need to make it fun and playable for low level players or the game just wont exist. | ||

I want to find a team which can pay me a wage and guarantees my participation in overseas tournaments. This is the best part of Genius' interview for me, I can't wait to see him internationally (did he used to travel to tournaments prior to his dip and resurgence?) | ||

It's a lot harder to play terran at a high korean level due to having to do a lot of splitting, macro, micro and dropping. Terrans just harder to get super gosu with which koreans excell at multitasking/micro/macro and all that so yeah in general I do agree with mkp  I think it all comes down to practice time. The korean slave-like practice routine in BW were mandatory to show good results. Foreigners were invited to play BW but just about everybody but Idra found the conditions too demanding. So have have the foreign mindset changed for sc2? I don't think so, just the mechanics of sc2 allow pretty good results and deep runs randomly in tournaments without having to do the slave-like practice schedule. If you had to train slave-labor routine just to compete, I don't think you would see many foreigners on the scene. I think it is a big point to why there are no really good foreign Terrans but Thorzain. (my favorite) Some people drop other names but I always look at their results and see it was online, and they have no significant wins LAN-style if one if the foreign big 3 was there (Steph, Nan, Thor). If you made foreigners play 8 hours a day training, they would show good results with Terran. Until then, why waste so much time when you can do decently with z or p? I can't imagine the TL or EG house enforcing them to do 8 hours a day. I bet most foreigners play 4 hours semi-casually a day and just increase it before a tourney. | ||

And theres the typical response... do you guys even think before you type this recycled garbage? No, I don't think it should be balanced around bronze-silver. I think they should do their best to balance the game AT ALL LEVELS, from bronze to pro. That is what I want, I dont want one of 3 races to only be really effective once you get to GM, that makes for a bland game, where Terran becomes non existant on the ladder... Oh wait, thats pretty much already happened. Enjoy your ZvZ ZvP PvP | ||

Even MC sometimes play Zerg to help his friends to practice for important matches. He did it with TheStC and the guy said MC's Zerg was like bettere than a lot of pro players who main Z. :< | ||

Edit: Also funny are the people with 0 GSL titles telling the guy with 4 GSL titles that he shouldn't "whine about balance." If he doesn't have the credentials to speak about balance, then who does? | ||

Mvp's ZvT was always known to be better than his TvZ. At one point (way back when Zerg was still meh), he considered switching from Terran to Zerg. | ||
