based on his post in playxp: http://www.playxp.com/sc2/bbs/view.php?article_id=2354027&page=2

In this post he said "I'm considering changing my race. Please recommend the race which

seems to be more suitable for me"

He thinks protoss is so underpowered that no one playing protoss can actually win the

tournament like GSL.

So if previous trends hold true, Genius should take the tournament this season.

Congrats NEXGenius.

So Blizzard has to make a decison.

Nerf Terran -> Boxer wants to switch
Nerf Toss (Or dont make them stronger) -> Genius wants to switch

But btw, Any more infos on this? Did he say something about specific units or matchups?
Everyone knows that atm it is impossible for any Toss to win GSL so I wonder if there was some more specific talk?!

Well sSKS has already been saying that TvP all-in timing pushes are over powered in one of the playxp interviews during his fail to qualify in GSL2 (not 3). I have no definitive source on this so don't quote me.

What we do know is that sSKS won the TSL Clan Tournament defeating SangHo in the finals.
TesteR changed his race to Terran to TvP SangHo and won.

I would like to see a Terran change to protoss to PvT a high level Terran.

Congratulations in advance NEX,
needs a bit more balance whining though.

Jokes aside, I'm not really sure what to think of protoss right now. But I dont think they're underpowered.

Why do i feel like this has happened before? Hmm...

Oh well, it worked for Fruitdealer so i guess we will see some protoss buffs soon.

This is so sad.. Can top players STOP CRYING IN THE OPEN. :<

We all rage and have our moments, but I mean it's pretty damn obvious Protoss is in a spot where Zerg was before the reaper/bunker and roach range upgrade. Toss is unforgiving (4-gate aside which is very uncommon at the very highest level because it's not that hard to stop) and can be abused quite hard by the other races, but there will appear better and more refined builds and that will even out the playing field eventually. Maybe there will also be a tiny buff who knows..

Anyway, I just fucking hate when they cry like this..

Nerf Zerg ->Fruitdealer, Idra and dimaga want to switch (and TLO chose T i guess)

Thats pretty strong argument if he beats own race by offracing.

On topic: Terrans suits Genius better

Don't wanna sound like a troll but I've been saying this since day1, Marauders are the biggest joke of a unit ever.

Unless you have enough forcefields or have a heavily larger army, marauders mean that your units cannot escape and you generally lose your whole army in 2 seconds if you accidentally engage.

I am sort of in the same situation, but i am willing to wait for the patch before i make a decision. If there is considerable nerfs for Protoss without buffs to compensate i am switching, but it's not horrendous to play P.

Here is rough translation of thier last chating;

Sangho : Yes, it really is.


Apparently SangHo & TesteR both believe Terran > Protoss
(not suprising as they train together, if one found out new builds to counteract, the other would certainly learn )

You can watch those games here apparently

Actually marines are the problem if you test it and according to Blizzard.

I don't know about you guys but I'm getting kind of tired of big-name players constantly threatening to switch. It seems...just...a bit pathetic. I know a lot of players make their living from this game, so balance is more important to them than anyone. It's just that it fuels the masses into going: "see! my race is UP QQ" etc etc. It harms the community and adds unnecessary fuel to the fire. And whilst toss might very well be UP, I can't help but be cynical about their motives for making these announcements.

If you're planning on switching, why not just keep quiet about it?

These race changers are pretty disgraceful, they just need to stick to one race especially since they have already put thousands of hours into that race.

Most of them almost always never change in the end because Blizzard would release a patch that addresses their issue with the race. Just stay patient and persevere. SC2 is still too new for Blizzard to ignore.

Nah! Protoss can take one or two more rounds of nerfs. Cmon guys, we are used to it!
scnr
The chair slowly turns around. You see his face, but it can't be. He's not supposed to be here. Not him. Not a Protoss. Not THAT Protoss. MC says, "Hi Greg, long time no see." You back slowly out of the booth. But you can't. It's already forcefielded.
