He hasn't switched race yet, he's just gonna do an experiment to see if it works better for him.

Doesn't seem like a sustainable strategy to me, just race-changing to whichever race seems overpowered at the moment. I hope he was at least half joking, in an elaborate way of saying "protoss OP plz nerf >.< "

Kinda funny regarding he stated "playing Terran feels f** great after winning against Life on Dreamhack(?).
Mines nerfed, switching to Toss. While you face a ton of Protosses on Master Ladder which honestly dont really have the skill of a Master League player. But well, not complaining about balance or something...

Well, since some people think protoss is easy, his case will be a real example whether that is true or not. I'm only interested in seeing his PvZ, probably PvP too. He already has an advantage at PvT by having been terran before.

Yeah protoss players hate pvp, cause they dont have the natural advantage like vs the other races. As a spectator the pvp is looking good now. Im sure that is much better than was it in the WoL.

Don't play so greedy and scout, easy.

There is no catch all build. If you play "safe" then you'll get build order countered by a greedy player.

Good for him, now he can have a fulltime job and still be considered a SC2 pro, if he's clever enough.

I thought it was common knowledge that protoss is better in PvT on the "lower" levels of play, which is the level of play at least 90% of the non-Korean competition takes place. Though at the same time I see the very best terran players run over their protoss competitors in games where I cannot even point out a single mistake by the protoss (though that might be because of my limited game knowledge).

This is the problem of having such diverse races in a game, whose competitive scene shows such a broad range of skill. Imo, the correct response is to just deal with it.

Every mirror matchup has "build order wins". Being "build order countered" does not mean you instantly lose. I suspect the reason why most Ps don't like PvP is because most Ps don't like to initiate the action, they would rather sit back and fight with their 200/200 deathball army. Since both players are P, you now have both players sitting back and waiting until their 200/200 deathball armies before an attack.

Yes I realize there is a lot of action going on in the first 8 mins of a PvP, but if no one has died before then they won't be dying for a while.

that doesn't even make any sense: if what you said'd be true, then the tosses you describe would love PvP since they could just try to play save to the 8 min mark and then sit back and build the 200/200 army they are so in love with.

Except they don't want to play against another PROTOSS 200/200 army.

Playing against a 200/200 bio army or a 200/200 roach army is very much different from playing against a 200/200 protoss army.
