On the serious note. I'm not sure if Kas will read this comment... If I get new job in January (chances are 80/20), I can provide 500 euros each month for you keep playing... please, contact me (PM) for more details... | ||

If you can't deal with admitting that you are the one who is at fault and should train harder or you realize it, but cannot commit the necessary time then yes, at some point Starcraft 2 is not the right game for you | ||

It's not balance problem, it's a huge design problem. I hate the sc2 design since wol beta, i just dont like that 90% of all units (from your race) are available after ~8min and that we have at opening/earlygame alot more strategies than lategame. | ||

Long story short, I don't think the game will ever be "fixed". Even with the upcoming expansion, I highly doubt it. I love SC (played for 12 years!) but this feels like the lowest point which is quite sad. I hate to see pros quitting due to frustration with the game because they've invested so much time into this game. Putting aside my Terran pride, watching the game isn't always that fun either. I really dislike watching ZvP due to the strategies most P utilize. Is it their fault for using a 2 base all-in constantly? No, it wins. That's their job. Do I roll my eyes every time I see that happening? Yup! Stream off. BW/LOL/DOTA Stream on! Oh well, back to BW! As for Kas, sorry to hear about the retirement. Best of luck in the future! | ||

Perhaps this? http://aligulac.com/reports/balance/ (it's looking reasonably balanced I'd say, but I'm quite convinced if you look at foreign terrans the picture won't be pretty. It's just my gut feeling though) That's quite an over-analysis of the data presented in that graph. | ||

It is not that much of a balance issue, but a gameplay issue. | ||

And lol, just lol @ all the guys here saying stuff like "terrans have bad mindset" etc. Yeah, cuz we all know that GM is 45% P and 22% T because protoss players just train so much harder and have better mindset. Open your eyes ffs | ||

Yet nothing wholes back Korean players from winning major events. Or Xenocider from crushing face in Korea. I wonder if they have a mindset problems? | ||

Let's hope they're considering changing this stuff on a deeper level in LotV. I'm sure they've thought about it countless times. | ||

kas is one of the most hardworking players in the world, period. i am saddened by this, he even gave me motivation in a game where I had bm'd him several times earlier. I can't blame him though. Starcraft has been rewarding skill less players for far too long. | ||
