I think Protoss are so imba. Look at the way herO won IEM San Jose!!!

That earring on herO is penultimate sign of swag!!!! Clearly he won because of the swagger!

Zerg's problem is their swag is too reactive. That may indeed have been Blizzard's intent to promote swag diversity when designing the game, but it results in a dynamic where Zerg's wait for opportunities to react with swag, rather than dictating and forcing reactions with pro-active swag like Protoss.

Terran's problem is that their efforts at developing swag haven't proven to be as viable as their "stoic dominance" approach which, while effective to a point, becomes overly predictable at the highest levels.

Protoss do have a few weaknesses (e.g. Colossus as a unit can undermine swag if Protoss leans too heavily on it), but on the pro level it has proven to have the highest potential for different avenues for creative and effective swag, which has allowed Protoss to stay one step ahead even as maps and the swag meta evolve.


I think if Mech gets buffed that's a buff to Terrans swag levels. It's a more laid-back, careless of what others think of me kind of deal. Whereas the current BIO style for Terran is just too try hard. If you try to be cool, you're simply not cool.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

It's a total misconception by the community at large to think the protoss has the greatest level of swagger.

Let's face it after FireBatHero's oscar nominated performance, the terran race is covered for swagger until roughly 2387.

The evidence is right in front of your eyes guys in the very first VOD!!
Ex Zerg learning Terran. A bold move.
