You met jjakji in the finals. I was expecting a really difficult game to ensue at first but then he went for an scv all in after he expanded. Thanks to that, I was able to take an easier victory than expected (laughs). Seems that jjakji is not very confident in HotS when he risks something like that when everything is on the line vs some unknown, no matter how good he may actually be  | ||

See all the Terrans that got their physical condition fucked up (Mvp, Taeja, formerly Flash, etc..), probably because of the straining shit you have to do with your mouse. As far as I know, it never happened to a pro Zerg before. Not that I'm wishing for Zerg players to hurt themselves playing against widow mines, but their (and your) current mindset could be explained by the relative ease of the WoL ZvT matchup. In short, welcome back to Starcraft, dear Zerg fellows, it's a hard game for everyone. I know I'm going to get shit for this, but it doesn't sound unreasonable to me that if suddenly, GSL Zerg goes from 65% TvZ winrate (see maps like Daybreak) and mass ZvZ finals to a 45% winrate slightly Terran-favored matchup, it will seem to them like the game became monstrously harder, even if it's still fairly balanced. I'm not saying that widow mines or whatnot are not a problem currently, but this "Terran so fucking imba" sounds a bit hypocritical when at the end of the day, Zerg and Protoss strongly dominated the qualifiers. Edit: Here's the full list: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_WCS_Season_1_Korea_GSL/Qualifier So many Terrans and so few Zergs Q_Q :'( T-T ;_; | ||

I was kinda talking about SC2, but me mentioning Flash (who I believe got his wrist problems in BW and had surgery before SC2) might have made that unclear. TLO also got serious CTS while playing Terran. I don't know if it got easier, and if it had anything to do with him switching to Zerg. I think it's quite true that Zerg's APM output is more balanced between keyboard and mouse, while Terran's APM are more mouse biased. And as it's often the mouse hand which is the limiting factor as to how soon you hurt when you play with a bad position, Terrans have a tendency to hurt their wrists more (disregard Goody). You got to honestly admit that WoL Zerg's Queens into mass infestors, Broodlords and spine crawlers didn't seem like the most mouse intensive shit ever... | ||
