But, dont forget the Empire terrans; Beasty, Bratok, Kas and Happy are all great Terrans! You do realize that tournaments takes 75% terran on purpose? | ||

That is kind of the reason korean terrans are so good is they have a lot of apm and thus can use terran in ways foreigners can't due to being to slow.

Besides the terrain factor, Terran is simply a less forgiving race (although much kinder in SC 2. Calling down supplies and easy, easy macro...). With Terran, your mistakes simply seem to be magnified or at least have a higher chance of quickly snowballing into defeat. And as long as z vs t is imbalanced in SC 2, more so than other mu's, that's only going to further skew things. Also, when a game is new and imbalanced, you're free to simply change races as being worried about having to "start over" is pretty silly. SC 2 needs to be bigger in Russia or something, as they seemed to have a larger amount of Terran talent, relative to other countries. | ||

This is why only Koreans can do it, whereas for Z and P, you know there are well-known foreign Z and P such as Naniwa, Huk, Stephano, Scarlett. On the other hand, for Terrans to excel, it needs APM and multitasking, something which Korean Terrans are generally better at compared to foreign terrans. Having said this, there are some really decent foreign terrans like Thorzain Just this fact alone shows how difficult it is to play as T. Crazy APM and multitasking is highly overrated by the general community. Terran actually doesn't take that. Sure you can have crazy harass as terran, but you don't need it. Goody has beaten MMA and loads of top players, and Destiny plays LOL faster than he plays SC2. Thorzain and Polt don't have insane apm or multitask either. Reading the forums you'd think that every successful terran player is this sick crazy fast beast and every successful zerg/protoss is slow and bad compared to them, only winning from imba shit like infestor and forcefield. Stephano, Scarlett, Dongraegu, Life, and other top zergs are just as fast(and in many cases much faster) than top terran players. | ||

And of course, the vast majority of bonjwas were Terran in Broodwar. That helps too. | ||

PF's are pretty much free base defense. Zerg doesn't get free base defense. Also the common misconception from terrans is they think zergs/tosses just A move. If they just a moved then their army would be obliterated (unless they are just so far ahead they can A move, but terran can do that to ^^). Aka if I A move my ling/bane army guess what? All my banes will hit whatever is closest so like tanks which is bad bad, or they might attack in the most retarded way possible allowing tank shots to do more damage or certain marines to do more damage then they should. | ||
