In fact, the term Eastern European is something that people should stop using, unless you want us to use the equally vague term: American for Canada, US, Mexico, and all of the South American countries like Brazil, Chile, Venezuela. They're just the same, aren't they... On the topic at hand, it's sad to see Kas retire. He played well, and played a ton for a long time. And it's true, the foreigner terran scene is dead. - whether he retires or not. In fact, outside of top-5 Korean terran, the race might be dead too. | ||

These european terran players in particular, I feel, can't admit that their mechanical shortcomings make them lose games they wouldn't have otherwise, so they find all sorts of excuses within the design of the game so that they don't have to look at themselves. At least it always feels like that to me. The problem is, their mechanics are as good as their opponent's. It's just that terran is more demanding. And that's why you have less terrans in GM and higher, and that's why more and more terran are quitting the game. This is a huge design problem, protoss (and zerg to a lesser extent) should have a higher skill cap and less "easy to use" units (like colossi, archon, zealot, voidrays, DTs,... those units require little control yet are extremely powerful) | ||

It used to be Stephano or Mvp but Stephano is sorta gone now so it's just Mvp You'd be surprised how many threads end up discussing him | ||

You mean the endless hero chase with a shitton of random elements in the form of damage variables, crits and items? SC2 maybe be hugely flawed but WC3 was just broken as a competitive game. | ||

he was vs everything who was not terran imba so ... as nice as he is, he whines way to much for a player as good as he is hope still he not retire because he has talent, if he stop complaining and start building ghosts vs templar xD On December 22 2013 19:41 -NeBu- wrote: Nothing new, Blizzard kill this game, TvP are unplayable for terran, it's a fu**ing joke. GL in future, Kas! ... thats why taeja won every fuckn tournament and terrans overall has best results right ? god i hate balance whiners On December 22 2013 19:21 Fjodorov wrote: I think what has made alot of pro terrans angry, more angry than other times of imbalance or game issues, is that blizzard recently actively buffed the oracle and nerfed the wm. Especially the oracle buff is impossible to understand for anyone it seems. And its such a kick in the balls to have something like that happen to the game you play 8-10 hours/day. I can imagine anyways. I havent seen anyone on this forum or in any thread actually defend the oracle buff or say its good for the game. ok look here "its good for the game" ... how many of the PROS gamers you saw loosing to oracle in recent tournaments ? right ... | ||

SC2 maybe be hugely flawed but WC3 was just broken as a competitive game. yup , those , and I aint ashamed to say that shit is AWESOME ! it brought aspects to the game which were far superior to anything I was playing back in 2003 , even to this day. endless hero chase ? its true heroes are the most important units , taking them out will cripple your opponent significantly or even end the game , if that was the case....why did wc3 evolve into the micro master piece it was ? why did it become such a deep rts game ? why not just have every pro game become "catch the hero" ? because the game is far more complex than what you think. When I say wc3 design , I mean one thing , the better player always won , nightend explains it better in his "grilled" interview , check that out. Broken as a competitive game my ass....that is just pure ignorance of what the wc3 scene was , the best example is wcg 2012 , for as long as wc3 existed , orc vs UD was considered broken beyond repair , then came TeD and shit on the best orcs in the world to win the title....why ? because he was the better player who had the better strategy. feel free to disagree , these are my own thoughts as a consumer of both products , nothing more nothing less....just like your comment  | ||
