How can you compared BO1 in PL and claimed that Protoss heavily dominated? We are talking about individual league. How long have we seen a Protoss winning an individual league in KR? | ||

Isn't  PartinG, Rain, First, MC etc top Protoss players? I don't see any NEW upcoming top protoss coming near.And, Stardust is playing against Foreigner and not TOP Z/T players from KR. And his win against JD is nothing HUGE because JD is known for his weakness in PvZ. What an idiot again. Isn't that what Protossers has been doing? It's either turtle up for one fucking push or 2 base all in. Oracle? It's a shit unit. Obviously he hates Protoss since WOL days. Yeah, the fact people think because someone wins a foreigner event that protoss across the board is then stable somehow does not compute for me... Like, do they even look at the brackets, who is playing who, race distribution, the tournament itself or do they just look at the race...? As you noted, I'm not quite sure who he expects to be better than Rain and Parting... they're more or less the two best protoss right now, baring a few others, and they're on the same team working their asses off together. If they still cannot come up with anything other than 1 off strats for proleague then the issue still stands that Protoss cannot win a prolonged series in any major korean tournament. I'd argue that this is evident in lower skill levels as well. Protoss just has issues due to the way it's played in a series. I hope they start getting serious about this though... It seems like a lot of blunders one after another with the recent WCS announcements so hopefully they can keep up with the players expectations. also edit: Abturn: The reason Proleague has so many protoss is because, as I noted, it is a very good race to do new random builds with. They're great in prepared 1 off matches, however, you don't need to look past Partings recent performance where he needed to only practice vs 1 race to see that there might be something to look into. You of course can't measure all of this on one player's performance but looking at history, and his top performances over time it really makes you wonder... | ||

Proleague is btw a PVP Fest If you watched yesterday's game SuperNova vs Rain G1. It's retard as hell. 3 base all in with SCV pull/Clocked Ghost/Medivac/Vikings against colo, chargelots, archons and Rain still lose when SuperNova was way way behind. | ||

The unit hard counters all Terran factory units and is extremely potent in ZvP also especially when combined with the Swarm Host. What else could they do to it? Buff its health to 500 and give it an attack? Seriously. | ||

Q: Have you considered buffing Terran mech? David Kim: About mech, we are thinking to make it easier to use. In fact, in WOL, TvT had a lot of mech, but in TvP and TvZ mech didn't get used much. No. Please no David Kim. If you want to do anything to it then please buff it but make it harder to use. Let there be something that really rewards tip top players. | ||

Why can't they do follow up questions but instead let Kim say what he wants and get away easy. | ||

Free units to win every fucking game. And lastly, as you can see the latest trend in ZvZ, JUST MASS ROACHES. It's fine. The one who has the most upgraded roaches win. Why? Cos it's cheap and stupid as fuck. Have you ever see PvP MASS stalkers against stalkers? | ||

I feel bad David Kim has to answer these whining-disguised-as-a-question all the time. I don't know how a man could keep composure when assaulted with such idiocy.

If Blizzard let 95% of TL balance their game, it would be an absolute disaster. | ||

Rain BARELY lost, and he lost because Supernova out micro'd him ridiculously well with his Ghosts. Listen to Artosis' post game analysis on that one he explains all of the "what ifs" better than I can. | ||

Overall, we are focusing on the strength and weakness of certain units. We don't have a clear plan for mech right now, but it depends on the situation in the future. Yes, please buff mech so I can stop playing bio already (or at least you know, have the choice not to) | ||

Cos i always do that on ladder if they failed to scout. If scouted, it's very easy to defend. Buff is just an word. It could be reduce resource, etc. Not damage output in any sense. | ||
