EPTI'm watching MVP's stream right now and he just romped a zerg (after a completely shut down cloaked banshee opener) by getting a relatively early third and attacking with mass mass mass marine + tank while always having his reinforcements sieged up and defensive at home to keep safe from counters. Shortly before attacking, he stimmed like 8 marines forward to kill off 3 queens, and then just continued to kill tumors every time he was on creep. He did a couple drops, but nothing too crazy. He just straight up played solid and actually dealt with one of the biggest problems: creep.
1 Month later... Is Queen Range still too strong [TvZ]? -…

This thread is going nowhere and I'm tired of dealing with it. Either drop the personal attacks and whining and replace it with actual discussion or it'll be closed. 12:09 KST Page 98 | ||

Just IMAGINE THIS. What if the Zerg had gone 13 minute hive instead of Mutas? Easy win...  Stop talking like you have any idea about what's going on. Also, that Zerg stayed off Hive tech for a really long time. And the game was 1000 times more entertaining than any 13 minute hive Broodlord game I've seen. | ||

Zerg winning percentage has always been on the lower end of TvZ especially in Korea up until this patch. And I just said it set them back not that it is impossible to win and most Terrens didn't realize the strength until right up to this patch. Please add to the discussion not make shitty one liners. I play about 6-10 hours per day and watch almost every tournament that comes on. I don't need a bronze player telling me what this game is like. | ||

I mean while this guys logic is completely flawed, I agree with him. the T era of TvT, TvP, and TvZ was much more entertaining than the constant ZvP, ZvZ, and PvPs we get now :S However, it's irrelevant.

Go look at the stats yourself... Z is favored May 2012, March 2012, August 2011. I know it's not a lot, but they are favored in more months than just June 2012. | ||

Just because X or Y was imbalanced back then doesn't mean A or B can be legitimately imbalanced now... The dwindling numbers of Terrans in Tournaments and high ladder should be really concerning for everyone who loves this game! And don't throw this "terran has to come up with sth." BS at me!!! The only things P and Z ever had to come up with against OP Terran shit was enough whine to get buffed (or Terran nerfed)... The racial balance is pretty good right now while late game TvP can be tough terrens are no longer using their drop capabilities to the maximum potential anymore and much like in ZvP how Zergs learned in many cases you just need to avoid his army like the plague. And terrens stopped building ghosts for some reason. Even with the nerf to EMP it still has the highest burst DPS of any unit in the game and ghosts are good against Zealots. The dwindling Terrens are only those that had no drive to begin with. Zergs have pushed through being underpowered for a large portion of this games life. The balance will come with time but with the meta game constantly shifting new Terrens will take the place and good riddens. | ||

Please stfu I did read them but 3 random months only show 1 thing the game was patched that month or right before or the meta game shifting heavily. August was right on the heels of infestor play exploding then the next month it is back to Terren favored. Then you quote the last 2 months of Terren QQ including last month with the Queen change your argument is just stupid and you can argument semantics all day but when Terren had 60% win rate in Korea there was nothing like this for Zerg.

Terran players for the longest time had MVP, MMA, Top, STC, MKP, among various other excellent players. Zergs in Korea had...... Nestea. Whose worst match-up is TvZ by far, even today. So yes, no shit Terran is going to have an excellent win % in Korea. | ||

DRG, Losira, and Leenock were all still playing at that time. Terrens have always had a better win rae especially in the GSL not just the names you mentioned but random terrens dominated the round of 32. | ||

People of all ages can produce silly statements. But I strongly agree with your feeling, that the quality of the most recent posts have gone down. Which is sad, because we established quite an interesting and mature discussion. Don't know how you think about it, but in my eyes winrates from 2010-2011 have nothing to do with the topic of the OP. So the latest arguments about this are misleading and just poor. Too much "GTFO" and "YOUR STUPID" and "BTW" comments. Really hoped we could leave this up to reddit or BNet forums. | ||
