the irony is that you haven't read it, since there haven't been many predecessors about Blizzard's conspiracy to empower white SC2 players.


I did read it--the snarky, obviously facetious "white boy" part was a bit oblique to be taken seriously don't you think?


Are you referring to his conclusion of blizzard making sure that white people beat koreans? If so, then what else is his conclusion supposed to be?

If you're just referring to his term usage of "white boy", while I think he may have intended it to be humorous, he is using it in an offensive way to criticize Blizzard for wanting white people to win.

The hilarity these threads bring is overwhelming. As someone who played zerg for 2 years and recently started playing random... my rank has not changed at all. If terran was so impossible to play.. shouldn't i be dropping in rank?

Shit I win games with Terran at top master level and I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.

Well it seems I have missed the boat on the sarcasm of this post. Awfully elaborate for a troll post, and it looks suspiciously like all of the other balance whine that's popped up over the past few months. Sensationalist complaining is all we've heard over several months. All the same, my sarcasm detector seems to not be working :/ Oh well.

uhh, then your comment about "someone putting time into this" when a vast majority of the content is written to support the joke doesn't make much sense. also, oblique doesn't mean what you think it means. i imagine you found that word while scanning the captions

Seriously all Terran players have been doing is crying about the infestor use fucking ravens and ghosts earlier you can't expect to see 20 infestors and then just suddenly decide to switch to Ravens or Ghosts think ahead and stop crying


I think that's exactly one of the points.

Good points about the actual game mechanics, but I"m somehow dubious about the conspiracy to promote white person wins....

As humouristic or well written this post might be. I really don't like the fact how far balance whining comes in our community. This really destroys the whole fun of the game. I'm not really watching any tourneys anymore because I know that in the end someone will win because of balance. Atleast 90% of the people seem to think so.
It's really hard to imagine a Starcraft 2 without balance whine but when I think of it it would the best fucking game ever.

I don't thnik this is very clever from TL. And I know that Ver does not automatically represent TL, but I think that the staff in general knows better and has tools to achieve it.

Everyone else who would start a thread about "patchzerg" until now would be banned for balance whine and the thread closed, because even saying "patchzerg" was unacceptable until the Stephano interview. If someone makes a thread now, it will be closed, because there is already this thread.

So we end up with the whole problem represented in the silliest way possible? Is that really what you want? It does not even propose ... not even ask for a solution. It is just a long, well documented... rant. What discussion is going to be had here?

No offense to Ver, I like his writing - even though it really is not as good as GotB, it's really nicely written (yes, I have read it all, that's why I am on page 7, unlike some people I would like to virtually punch in the face for littering the thread) and could be a fun contribution to the discussion - had there been any proper.

edit: fuck, page 8. I think everyone who has posted in this thread should be forced to take a questionnaire on the contents of the OP and be banned if he scores below 80 percent. (before someone gets clever on me: challenge accepted, I have bulletproff shortterm memory. right now I can probably beat Ver in OP-related trivia).

People have really short term memory.

Why didn't we have huge articles like this about how easy Terran is to play, when Goody was beating Nestea with his 50 apm and constant supply blocks?

I think what the OP means is that the matchup has become based around a single 3-base timing (2-2, 150 supply), since early game timings are nerfed and the late game is so zerg dominant.

Half way through... This article is amazing! Lol. Waiting to see that it's actually a joke.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

This farce has been going on for way too long. Will Blizzard do anything or will they let their game slowly die ? I'm a die-hard starcraft fan but I barely watch sc2 anymore.

A Foreign Zerg (Scarlett) 2-0s a Code S semifinalist Terran (Ryung) at IPL5 by spamming fungals, infested terrans, and clicking 1a with broodlords? Proceeds to lose 0-2 to a code B Korean (Sleep) in the next round who counters Zerg by playing Zerg?


I find this part funny

But yeah I agree with you, nice work.
