Good catch line eh? Tester, the #1 Protoss in the world, has some things to say about SC2.

Tester - interviewed

For all the new people in our community, here are some things about Tester:
Tester has been a Protoss professional gamer in SC1 for years and years and years. He's been on the proleague roster (plays on TV) for most of his career. He has qualified for multiple Ongamenet Star Leagues, and has recently quit to become a SC2 progamer. He has won 2 PlayXP tours and a GosuCoaching weekly tournament, all without losing a game. He got 2nd to Cool[fOu], and ex-professional Zerg player in the biggest SC2 LAN to date, the PlayXP BrainBox tournament (which I made a video about 2 weeks ago or so).

*haven't watched the video yet*

I think the popular consensus is that Protoss is the best and Terran is either 2nd or 3rd.

Of course I'd take popular consensus over Tester's opinion any day.

Thanks again Artosis!

nice interview.

Pretty bold to say that terran is the strongest without any good players to back it up though...

Tester won a GosuCoaching tournament? Wow, I forgot about that. Isn't he the pro-gaming coach? So he's back in the scene now, huh...

Is there anywhere i can get a hold of a bunch of Testers replays? I'm really struggling to find some as the search function on most of the sc2replay sites either comes up with nothing, or, just in general sucks. =[

Since he played in the GosuCoaching tourney there should be plenty of replays available. I believe he played under Hwanni.scforall.

he meant that terran has the most potential, but currently no player has been able to play terran to it fullest potential yet....

i agree with him, current terran trends does not fully utilise the potential of siege tanks, their damage output is way much higher than SC1, the thing is that marauders are being overused that kinda blocked the development of terran strategies atm...
