I guess read Artosis' thread about over-nerfing Zerg. Check it out here. Apart from that, SCII Strategy is quickly approaching the quality of posting in SC1 Strategy. Why practice when you can whine about balance and hope it gets patched?

v3chr0 was just temp banned for 2 weeks by SonuvBob.
That account was created on 2010-04-26 11:08:46 and had 46 posts.
Reason: I need to test something and you're the first douchebag I found.

Mystlord
+ Show Spoiler +
Just yesterday, amazing things happened. I don't even know to what extent I want to spoil this, but two absolutely amazing games occurred, both against Flash. And these were GREAT games. Granted we might be seeing chinks in Flash's seemingly invincible armor due to the increased pressure of the individual leagues, but I swear to god that Effort and Snow played well enough that the causes of Flash's struggle were not solely because of him being tired or anything like that.
Unfortunately the VODs have not been uploaded to youtube, so I've put in the wfbrood links instead.
EffOrt < Judgment Day > 
Flash
+ Show Spoiler +
I don't even want to write a synopsis for this game. Just let it be known that Effort brought a serious fight to Flash's front door this game. I feel that it doesn't do this game justice to write up a battle report. It NEEDS to be watched. Go watch it.
Snow < Fighting Spirit > Flash
+ Show Spoiler +
This game demonstrates the true power of tech switches, whether they are carried out or not. This is another game that needs to be watched to have the full experience. I consider this a no spoiler section (unless I write a BR), so I'll leave you with a message to watch the game and see just how brilliant Snow played this game. No, that doesn't mean that Snow necessarily won... or does it?
But it's also unfair to let Flash games have the spotlight this week. The other seriously epic game that went down this week was....
Reach < Fighting Spirit > Sea
+ Show Spoiler +
Yes, that's right. The Mantoss gets sent out in the ace match, and what ensues is an epic match against Sea. I can't stress enough how much late game PvT rests on aggression. Terran Mech is absolutely reliant on positioning and established positions. So guess what Protoss players, stop trying to confront the Mech ball directly and start doing more Recalls! If you can force the Terran player to play on your terms, then the game becomes a lot easier for you. Reach vs Sea. Go watch it
By the way, no BR this week sorry. No time :<

KT vs CJ from the other night is probably the best set of proleague you'll ever see in a regular season, if you have the time watch them all (if you dont like long TvT's don't watch forgg vs skyhigh), the best games for those short on time is set 1 and 5, utterly amazing
