15 by the end of the day is my bet. People just don't seem to get it that balance whining is not acceptable here.

Just read through that thread and was going to highlight it here.

One thing that I do think is kind of interesting is why the extreme bias on TL against balance discussion and gameplay discussion?

Believe it or not, Balance discussion is TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE. We even have a thread specifically for it: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=255254 because it's such an important topic. The issue is balance whine, especially when it's off-topic. Balance whine and discussion would overrun every thread related to Sc2 if it weren't harshly moderated when it's off-topic.

That description sounds suspiciously like me, Sands.

Also, a prophet has emerged in the TL to Cover Dota 2 thread:

I suppose his control/mechanics. I like both Bisu and Stork more than Jaedong though.
I've heard from plenty of people that they like Flash for his ability to use terran powers the way he does, but I really don't like it as a non-terran player.
Honestly, the tendency of terrans to just sit with tanks and try to turtle their way through doesn't make me respect them much. I think an S class protoss/zerg is much harder to achieve.

Terrans are inherently bad to have because of gay turtle mech. Terrans had too many ages of prosperity, they need to go back to mediocrity.
Frankly, I'm tired of seeing terrans win everything. The MSL terran count is just too high.

Flash may or may not be the best player, that's an opinion. I certainly don't like him though because I have an innate hate for tanks and turtling. Whether or not he is the best player, being terran is in my opinion easier, as seen by the fact that there's 3. One reason for the abundance of them is probably because terran is easier to make comebacks with. A protoss/zerg comeback is far less likely than a terran one. When Effort made a comeback in that one game against forGG, GGPlay against Iris, Jangbi against Ruby(when he had a few carriers snipe Ruby's last comsat and then he destroyed Ruby's larger army with DT's) and Bisu against Pure/Clam, those were pretty unexpected and required some really impressive play. When Flash won against Jaedong in the WCG or Movie in the OSL(game 1), it really just looked like some tanks(admittedly, BC's too in the game against JD, which IMO should have been killed by ensnare+devourer+DIVINE WINDDD) and mines getting more kills than they really should get, which simply isn't as impressive/difficult as epic defiler control, epic harass, or somehow opening a magical hole with which to rape someone with DT's.
Dont get me wrong, Flash is a good player and I see why people would like him. But to me he's boring and I think that to an extent he's riding on the fraudulence of terran.

Maybe ssak can pull a flash and turtle his way into a win.
