Should just start posting about LoL in unrelated threads, or balance whining in LR threads if I want people to actually read them.... sigh. I'm hardly asking for people to sit around and wank off my ego by saying how great my points are, just trying to stimulate a bit of vaguely on-topic discussion that might be interesting. It's hardly like I'm expecting much, it's kind of the point of a forum. | ||

Actually I didn't answered to your posts because I thought they were pretty good and interesting =) I agree with your TvP views. | ||

Polt & Bomber made it to the #3 and #4 spots of the most recent IPL, Polt has been slightly up and down lately, but remains on an upward trend. MKP is good, but still tilts every once in a while, Taeja has fizzled out, but this could be due to injury. Who are you referring to? MVP is down for the count due to his injury, I hope he doesn't retire. If this is some attempt to put the blame on terrans for not winning recently, you're grossly mis-informed. damn bro.. you can't get sarcasm at all lol third time in this thread! | ||

It is not just the case of 2-3 great zergs kicking ass, it is more like every average zerg having decent chance of winning, even against high level Korean pros from terran. Leenock is a great plaery regardless of balance, so is DRG. But you suddenly have a swarm of zergs, all having good chance of beating Korean terrans. IEM comes in mind with Mvp being the only terran that could go through TvZ after TvZ and beat foreign zergs. Taeja is really the only one except Mvp that has good results in 2012. Without those guys TvZ would look even worse. | ||

 ZvP is just a coin flip at the moment, all-in works or P is Broodlorded back to void. At least it seems that at the moment it is equal probabilities for heads and tails. In GSL world championsips Stephano showed some highly entertaining ZvP, though! Especially games against MC were great. TvP is at the moment only truly lively MU in my opinion. Both players have several possible strategies and playstyles available and balance is acceptable. I sometimes feel like I have to agree with people saying toss is a-move due to powerful aoe-damage and spammable chargelots, but terran has ways to overcome this. Edit: and thanks OP! Independent media is the first requirement for democracy, maybe Blizzard will have to listen to community when we're not completely dependant on them. | ||

For example in fighting games, when a character is considered over powered, it doesn't necessary imply it wins every tournament. Because skill of individual players factors in as well other variables that effect performance. Usually an OP character is analyzed on how powerful their move-set is in comparison to other characters. And this character could also require a significant amount skill to execute. That said it might also just have a crazy infinite. SC2 has to be balanced around how each race from early, mid to late game handles the various options of the opposition. In other words build orders, and unit relationship. Protoss winning with immortal sentry all ins, or whether a vortex hits isn't what I call balance despite the stats. | ||

Well here it is for all you terrans: The only reason Zerg is winning more right now is because they have the most players playing the race which obviously means they have more of the BEST players. Sounds fun? Source... just so I don't get banned : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=186193 21% of people had that amazing logic. Funny you say something like that because even now you have more terrans in Code S than protoss or zerg. It is not about counting number of players it is about the win rates. So yes, it is true that more Koreans picked terran but even though they are in majority, they are getting their asses kicked by zergs. And when Code S level player drops to Code A he will most likely get back to Code S despite of balance and you will again have more terrans in next season of Code S which will again get their asses kicked... | ||

They must have all switched to practicing TvP instead, while zergs continued to refine ZvT (not sure who they practiced against though, surely couldn't have been terrans since no terran is really practicing TvZ anymore?) I hope this is sarcasm, not the attempt of explanation. You really believe all terrans suddenly stopped practicing TvZ? | ||

If you're a pro and a terran nowadays, there is just no perspective or future before HOTS, so train for what ? You have no idea what you're talking about, it's actually kind of scary. | ||
