I guess. I just hope they talked it over after the match cause rivalies is one thing but like you said, this was just rude. | ||

You also ignore parts of the interview where he calls people no skill for saying zerg op, and that Terran players are shameless. Well, you should consider that the interview was right after the matches - a few hours later, Sniper would probably have answered differently, but I totally understand why he was kind of disappointed by Ryungs behaviour. There's absolutely no excuse for such rude behavious in a semi final and even IdrA never whined live on stage in GSL as far as I know (Even though he sometimes "forgot" to type GG :-P ) | ||

That's rather childish though. "Oh Blizzard employees are watching, perfect time to balance whine on stage as they'll have to address this then (in my limited point of view)." By that logic Blizzard shouldn't even attend such events because people just try to prove their point via ingame chat instead of just typing gg, not immediately discrediting their opponent and actually address their concerns in an interview or so afterwards. The idea that Blizzard employees who watch Starcraft 2 events are supposed to feel guilty for what's going on instead of enjoying a tournament is ridiculous. Let them just watch the darn tournament and don't try to force knee-jerk balance reactions on them due to the currently ongoing tournament. They won't ignore the results, don't worry. | ||

So it gives you auto loss, not sure if there would be a punishment but they are prolly at least giving him a warning. | ||

They'll give him a warming, they did the same thing to Bomber when he tried to /dance his units at the end of a game but forgot the "/" at the start. So he received a warning (Yellow card like). | ||

The pro players are getting desperate because this has been going on for 7 months and there have been no balance changes, so you get outbursts like this. If Blizzard did their job and balanced the game better earlier on it wouldn't have to get to the point where we have all the top threads on Reddit complaining about Zerg and people threatening to quit the game or stop watching the game if nothing changes. Maybe It's childish but all I can do right now is feel bad for the pro gamers that have to endure the current state of the game for a living, if I were them I would have quit or changed my race. At least Protoss has their all ins that will work more often than fail if they are better than their opponent. | ||

Ryung stated "IMBA" in the chat right at the last minute. Terran players are shameless. I know that a lot of people are calling Zerg imba these days but I honestly just think it's an excuse for people with no skills. Regardless of the map or race, the superior player always wins so I just don't understand why they behave that way. I don't even understand why sometimes the winning players start whining. So much trashtalk haha But ZvZ is kinda boring so I guess I won't watch it :/ | ||

I understand why Sniper has that mentality, otherwise he wouldn't feel very good about winning and that's why we play the game. Doesn't make it any less wrong, though. | ||

There was stretches of imbalance in the metagame; for example when Savior was in his prime, ZvP was considered almost unwinnable. Then the Bisu revolution happened. | ||

Not really, starting May 2012, Terran won 5 of them, Zerg 8, Protoss 9. Yeah, the Terrans are worse than the other two, but "domination" is something else (for example when Terran won about as many tournaments as the other two races combined) | ||

I didn't say Zerg has been winning every tournament, you did. 7 months is how long it has been since the last balance patch. Looking at only the winners of tournaments to determine balance is a terrible idea, you should look at the game itself. For example if we take Taeja out of the numbers Terran goes down to 2 wins, during Taeja's really strong period he transcended the imbalance because he was simply the much better player than his opponents. | ||
