Sorry, but I just don't see the legitimacy of that comment... The hellbat WAS totally OP, I hated TvT for being reduced to a mere hellbat drop feast, they nerfed it rightfully and now I feel TvT has become versatile again and that's all I need: A variety of builds/unit comps I can choose from, that doesn't really go for TvZ or TvP. People have to get used to metagame shifts all the time and I'm pretty sure they will eventually, since it isn't even THAT groundbreaking imho. EDIT: swapped quote and comment hehe | ||

Root needs to step it up and show their players hard work pays off but then again AM WCS is really tough for american players. | ||

Allow me to point out how stupid your statements are: "HotS is quickly going the route of WoL" How so? The skill ceiling has been raised by A LOT. Every race is way more solid early on, meaning that everyone can go into macro games more easily than in WoL, which is a BIG change in my opinion. "a lot of terran are struggling (even innovation) in the current metagame" How is InnoVation struggling because of the hellbat nerf, since every terran in the world plays with the same units? Are you saying that because he lost to Maru 4 times in a row? He got cheesed and he's bad at defending cheese, it has nothing to do with balance. I guess you're just talking out of your... neck. Keep your posts for the Bnet forums. If you think you can do better than Blizzard, maybe you should apply for a job in their balancing team... | ||

Yeah terran is doing so badly they took 3/4th in the semis of this OSL, and 4 out of the 8 spots for the ro8 with 7 of the 16 in ro16. What a terrible race just so underpowered. I am kind of surprised to see Theo retire, but if you aren't enjoying the game or you want to move on good for him. | ||

Amazing... he's an SC2 twitter troll who insults everyone involved with SC2. He's quite an epic douche bag to take someone's retirement tweet and instantly be as negative as possible. You would think the guy wasn't serious, but based on his posts he really seems to be true scum. It's almost impressive. Good luck to theo! | ||

GL Theo, I watched your stream a couple times, would be nice to see a post from you, no need to leave the scene on a bad note (unless something happened we do not know about) | ||

Those are Korean terrans you're talking about, American and European terrans are no way on the lvl off the Korean terrans. He retired because he can't pay for shit in a Starcraft 2 pro-gaming career at the moment, Blizzard kind of killed the American and European scenes because they won't make it region-locked the Koreans just come over and get top 3 in the entire thing and then the Americans and Europeans don't get enough money to live from. Probably only a few times that pay their players a salary from which they can live. like TL, Mouz, EG. and then almost all the KeSPA teams and LG-IM, MVP, etc. Korean teams pull in way more sponsors than the European teams at the moment with the exception of EG of course. | ||

Come on, lets be clear, the American scene killed itself. Blizzard is offering the only tournament worth talking about in NA beyond MLG. The rest of the time, NA viewers refuse to watch anything that isn’t, live, in studio productions that rival GSL and complain when it isn’t of that level. If we have 7-10 online cups that were giving out 10K every 3-4 months, we would be doing better, but all the scene would do it complain. Meanwhile, Dota 2 has tons of events running at all time that are online, but no one can complain because they don’t have GSL is to compare it to and say “Why isn’t it that????” | ||

Peeps and players (like hellokitty i.e.) bitch to much about there so called WCS must be regionbased. 1st. there was no WCS, they could not even compete for 10k pricepool because they suck (sorry but hell, i cant beat around this korean bush). 2nd. Blizzard gives them also a chance to get 10k firstprize and they complain instantly.... 3. like little bitches they are... p They want 10k region GARANTUEED!!!1 Motherfucka's else our scene wont grow... what shameless bullshit is this NA proscene.. go suck donkeyballs because this is bullshit... if u give a plant to much water it dies... seems NA scene is also to wet atm. | ||
