Hey guys, so I am wondering and I am sure other TL community members are as well. I have lately talked to some of the top Zerg players that are now switching to different races to play in ladder but still will play Zerg in tournaments because TvZ is so difficult at the moment unless you are a pro like idra. Who by the way told me the other day that playing Zerg is bad for your blood pressure lol but lets be serious for a second. Idra is one of the best Zergs out there in the world and having watched his tournament games he still loses some matches to terran players. Now lets be realistic idra is a TRUE pro which means he prob practices more then most of the terran players do that he plays against and so his matches should not be as close as they are sometimes imo. So to say TvZ is balanced atm cause idra can make it look easy at times is not a good enough reason for me. Ok but back to the main thing how many players in diamond near the top have also switched races from zerg to protoss or terran because of the ever climbing popularity in terran on the US server making TvZ occur even more often.
Poll: Did you switch from Zerg due to the climbing popularity in terran?I still play Zerg and haven't switched because of terran. (487) 79% I now play another race because of the popularity in terran. (131) 21% 618 total votes Your vote: Did you switch from Zerg due to the climbing popularity in terran? (Vote): I still play Zerg and haven't switched because of terran.
(Vote): I now play another race because of the popularity in terran.
EDIT: After reading the thread I have realized a general consensus that basically to win you have to be faster and better then your opponent when playing ZvT as zerg. So i ask the following poll as well,
Poll: Is it fair that to play Zerg in ZvT you must have higher apm/skills?It is not fair to have a race that requires more apm/skill to play (54) 57% It is fair to have a race that requires more apm/skill to play (41) 43% 95 total votes Your vote: Is it fair that to play Zerg in ZvT you must have higher apm/skills? (Vote): It is fair to have a race that requires more apm/skill to play
(Vote): It is not fair to have a race that requires more apm/skill to play

stuck with Z. im getting better that the zvt matchup but every game even if i win is a nailbiter. ive had some pretty damn epic games.
|
alot of people seem to be playing terran, pretty soon we might as well call SC2 terran craft
|
Considering that Blizzard only goes by statistics, I'm going under the assumption that Terran is owning at the moment. If they are owning in an obvious fashion, I'm bracing for a Zerg buff. So for now, I'm still playing as Zerg because I dedicated too much time with them.
|
im terra and really i think all zerg should change to terra.
terra is the best race and total imba.
btw:
my tvz could be bedder but my tvt is my best ^^
|
zerg is stronger then terran, so why switch !

I believe that Terran owns in the West but on Asia server it's Zerg that owns so...

lol i've switched from terran to zerg because i thought zerg was so overpowered. most of my losses come from tvz so sick... now i play zerg!@!! i lose more but pretty sure ill get better!
|
I switched to terran in beta phase 1 because sc2 terran seems more like sc1 zerg than sc2 zerg.

A zerg buff is not going to happen. And even if it is we'll see the ultra buffed moar, instead of addressing the issue of Z getting fucking roflstomped by T with a mid-game push.
I'm actually thinking about switching full-time to P. They only have problems with cattlebruisers it seems, not with the whole terran arsenal.

Still? Can you show the top players for asian server because I thought people would caught on by now.

Not really... Just because something was true several months ago doesn't mean it will be true infinitely.

how about "I switched races but not due to the popularity of terran?"
|
I play Zerg still. Don't really want to change to Terran and then for Terran to be nerfed into oblivion.
If something isn't done to fix Terran in future patches then I will switch to play Terran though. I'm not a win whore but it is frustrating playing Terran everygame and have to deal with the same lame shit constantly.
|
>< Even if TvZ is unbalanced... it's nowhere NEAR what all the Zs are whining about. Seriously. SC2 Z players are insane. Everything they have is UP and everything T (and in the past P) have is OP.
Try teching. It works.
|
im at like 620 pts and its sooooo frustrating to out play a terran and still lose some how. I have no problem getting beat by a terran if i play like shit but come on lol every race should be able to be played at the same skill level not Zerg require super skill to play cuz terran is pwning it atm :-D
|
I went from Zerg to Random, but it was more based around a growing interest in Protoss and an urge to better learn all the match ups. I still would say Zerg is my best/favorite race.
|
I always wanted to switch, but I can hardly get into the vibe of the other races. Zerg plays way too differently.

My major gripe is that I have to work my ass off to win against a Terran player while the Terran player can just a-move with their mech army that hard counters EVERYTHING I have.

I play random and just got promoted to diamond and I dont really mind zvt. But dont get me started on zvz. grrrr...
