I have to agree with earlier opinions that the write-up itself is good but the satire/humor was leagues below and likely unnecessary. | ||

I guess he uses infestors a lot, but I guarantee you he'd be just as good today if he used other (buffed to be viable) midgame /lategame options. You could've just said that Stephano was good before the patch and reported him. | ||

I agree that they have a better lategame, and their mechanics are easier, but if you've ever played protoss you'll know how fragile they are, and that unless you're maxed with a bank, losing one army or any probes loses you the game I don't think this is an argument on whether the sad zealot or sad marine is more depressed. Toss is fragile yes. The only reason foreign toss does decently vs terran or zerg is because immortal timings are too strong with force field and colossus is just a dumb 1 a unit that doesn't really get any better as long as you make it at the right time. As for this article, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although, the blizzard conspiracy for making foreigners win more is probably going a little overboard. The korean zergs will just play better than the foreign zergs and koreans will still win. Great job addressing the issue of infestor being herp derp dumb. They need to completely rework fungal growth and infested terrans. Honestly I think the best way blizzard can fix this problem is to fire the current balance team and get a whole new team. The current balance team is not taking any action. They are afraid to take the risks that are involved in a major change like changing fungal growth big time or reworking protoss gateway units weakness from warp gate tech abuse and the stupidity that is the colossus. IT IS SAD THAT IF TERRAN WAS THE ONLY RACE THE GAME WOULD BE WAY MORE EXCITING. and before people claim that i'm just a terran fanboy, I started off playing as a protoss player and got bored of 3 base turtling so I switched to random and made masters for season since then. | ||

Ofcourse you will get a ton of flame for this, because zergs don't like to hear all of this. In their eyes everything is totally fine. If you think about it, in an objective way: is it normal that: 1) the race with the best macro mechanics 2) is also the race with the best army 3) is also the race that has a maphack named creep 4) is also a race that can prevent expansions from landing/going up for a long time (creep, overlord creep, burrow, speedling)??? | ||

There's really nothing to discuss, blizzard just needs to swallow their pride, get their sh*t together and fix the game. They don't even have to fix the game "correctly" the first time, they just need to try SOMETHING. Anything is better than watching free units and spells that prevent micro kill your entire army..... and the armies of the best Terran, Protoss (and, as we saw this weekend) even Zerg players in the world. | ||

Think of how many people will read this and be discouraged by it, decide not to ladder, maybe decided not to watch an upcoming tournament. Way to complain about low viewer numbers and a disgruntled community and contribute to it at the same time. The alternative is to stick your head in the sand and pretend everything is fine? If the game is in such a poor state then the viewer numbers deserve to decline, when it gets better we can talk about how great it is again. More and more people switch to playing/watching other games every day, not because of " community negativity " but because of real issues that are not going to go away by doing nothing. | ||

Rofl the responses to this post are the culmination of why TeamLiquid has fallen to this sad state and all the sad SC2 players on it are pathetic kids that only care about the validity of the success of their race and don't even play the game at a respectable level. Fuck this hahahaha. | ||

It's just GENIUS how you covered every single feeling all terrans have, how everything you say is so true (with the exception of the conspiracy ofcourse :p). I agree 100000%.

Worst part is: 1) Race with insanely forgiving micro (compared to other two). 2) Race that punishes other races for non-exceptional micro incredibly harshly. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + for all the poptards that cant tell, that was sarcasm. I also used the terran go-to whine for when T were OP and just replaced Zerg players/ Zerg names where it used to be terran players | ||

If we can eliminate broodfestor we can open up the possibilities zerg have in the early and midgame. Yea those things youv barely seen since 2011, that are currently squashed in before the 11 min hive. Hive should be like at least 15 mins at the earliest, think anything blizzard have to do to put the lategame back in the, er, lategame is fine by me. | ||

Contradicting yourself by saying in one paragraph "Fans want exciting games!", then in the next saying "Fans don't care about game quality as long as foreigners win!" make you look dumb. Here here to the infestor nerf cannon! | ||
