Either you all in or you turtle with a deathball - both feels like a waste of time. Maybe he dont enjoy play starcraft with races he is not good . like i tried recently pickup broodwar and war3 but i suck so much i gave up after a few games . sjow is a legend for doing this 13 days . is rly hard knowing ur rly good then starting again from the bottom. | ||

We're top masters and switched to Protoss for a while because being Terran is just too depressing. Both our PvT winrates were ridiculously high, beating players much stronger than our own Terran. PvZ was harder than I thought, but it can be interesting so that's fine. However, playing the retardfest that is PvP all day can just break a person. The numbers were around 90 PvP's out of 190 games and although my winrate was even positive, that matchup just kills your entire joy in life. | ||

When I tried random for a while, my ZvP was insanely better then my other two matchups, same with my TvP. It's all to do with your extensive knowledge of your own race and how to abuse the weaknesses you've become much too familiar with when playing it. Nothing to do with imba (although I don't think you implied that, but Sjow did) | ||

His opinions on the other matchups remain unchanged. jaeh but if he thinks pvp is bad, as higher he would have gotten, pvz would have became rly "fun" | ||

Ah yes, Protoss has reach an over-saturation point where the hesitant factor to switch is dealing with PvPs. | ||

Most of the time I hear about toss imbalance from terran players on ladder, usually their worst matchup by far is t vs t.... Someone with 25% in t vs t and 64% in t vs p was telling me how easy p vs t is and toss in general. My question is, what would their sentiment be if their t vs p was at 25%? It's just embarrassing to me how many players can be horrible at a mirror mu, yet blame any short comings in another mu on imbalances, lol. Terran players... | ||

You have a nexus cannon that basically means you can get to the mid game and outplay your opponent. I see some builds working better against others, but if you can't adjust to outplay someone, then the problem is your build, not the mu.

Try to get high TvT ratio when you can never train it because of the lack of terrans on ladder. (that's notmy case I have 71% TvT right now). | ||

He says he uses them out loud during his stream. Why are you trying to tell people map hot keys are bad? They are super useful as Protoss for quick chrono boosting and warp ins. Almost all pros use them all the time. Don't listen to the silver heros in here. | ||

Chrono'ing ur nexi without camera hotkeys is a pain noone should have go through. the way sjow goes against the grain just isn't viable. you cannot play like that and expect to get results. I think it's amazing that early on he did okay and heck he's still going at it. Dude's persistent but he really is set in his own way. Respect for that, but my God man. I don't know how anyone can play like that. | ||

I respect Sjow for making a statement, but this is similar to why he switched to Protoss 2 weeks ago. Because TvP is frustrating. If he kept on switching on that reason alone, then he'd might as well quit the game because TvP is more frustrating that PvP imo. No matchup in the game can be considered not frustrating. | ||
