Imagine Protoss got a tier 1 flying unit? A new scout perhaps... Or a biological ranged unit with high burst damage with slow attack. A new dragoon perhaps... | ||

You can't really compare warp prisms and speedivacs in a vacuum. Terran relies on dealing damage with drops and multi-pronged aggression, that's their whole shtick since they need to have an advantage to stay equal in the lategame. Imagine prisms having equal harass potential as medivacs, a terran would still never think "I'm gonna defend this warp prism aggression, get 3 bases and all my tech without taking too much damage and then I'll be ahead". This is standard protoss play but for terran it just doesn't work. | ||

I'm tired of these complaints about the Medivac and people acting like Terrans are hypocrites for complaining about free speed for warp prisms. I'd add that P and Z also got Queens and Mothership cores. Even Artosis said that Z and P deal with Hellbat drops better, to which I'd point out that early speed prisms are also going to be dealt with better by Z and P. They seemed to almost get around to the possibility of hellbats 3 shotting scvs but still 2-shotting other races' workers before the blue flame upgrade, but I'd take them 3 shotting all workers over the current situation, yet at they pointed out, balance tweaks can affect all match ups. For that reason (plus the original reason of TvT having the hellbat problem), having hellbats 3 shot only scvs before blue flame seems a good starting point. | ||

I am so so sorry for the strong language- but dude you literally talk in a single tone voice. For most people this is a huge turn off, try recording yourself on your phone and listen to yourself. I would recommend 30second bits. I've been following this scene for 2 years and I saw your games vs JD. The other episodes were ok cause you were balanced by Geoff/Greg (rofl) or Catz. But this episode it really showed  | ||

I dunno man maybe it was cause there wasn't a person like Geoff or Catz or Greg. But this episode was really hard to watch. I am one of those (stupid) people who are very sensitive about the voice/tone of the person on a show. And SelecT's accent+ Lack of these interesting character may have made me blame much of the episode's demise on you when this show should be purely about strategy. | ||

Personally I watch this show to learn about starcraft. It's a show about starcraft after all. I don't care if the hosts are clowns or not as long as they provide top level analysis. Which theognis does. | ||
