Hello,


This is a spoiler thread, so if you haven't watched the GSL, but still want to do it, do not open the rest of it... You've been warned.


+ Show Spoiler +
Right now as I'm watching the GSL super tournament on GOMTV, it is depressing to see how the badly the protoss players are doing. Most of the protoss are losing left and right to other races, with only HuK and MC still playing decent. It was nice to see how Trickster played, but now, even he is out...

Makes me want to switch to zerg :/

What do you guys think?

Well other races have figured out how to counter every aspect of a protoss so its is kinda expected...

If you think zerg is more fun, then sure. you should play what you enjoy most as races are pretty well balanced and any race can really come far. so if u like protoss, why is this a reason to change? the race is obviously very strong, look at naniwa for example.

IMO, a few results from one tournament does not a race switch yield

when protoss loses, they are playing bad.

when zerg loses, its to imbalance.

MC played against Alicia and lost.

Also, I believe the reason protoss is losing right now is not because of balance but other races figuring out how to deal with most common protoss strategies and too many MAJOR balance changes to protoss, like increasing warp gate research time, etc.

It was the first round against Slayers Alica pretty surprising since it was a pvp but I think Alica can go far in this tourney if he keeps it up.

It kinda sucks that 2 of the best protoss players had to face each other in the first round. No one else comes even close in skill level (no disrespect to Huk).
Do feed the Troll.

Oh yeah... I remember that. He outmicro'ed the c%$# out of him...


One tournament doesn't make me want to race change, but looking at the amount of medals protoss got in the past, and looking at how they are doing now in the GSL, does make me

Very constructive post m8, really gives you a lot to think about.

It's obvious that threads like this just promote people whining about how underpowered their race is (I play Protoss FWIW). Besides, why would you want to play Zerg because Protoss are doing badly in one tournament? What about the StarsWar where the final 4 players are all Protoss, does that make you want to play Protoss again?

Well, don't tell me protoss don"'t have the tools to win.
It's just, korean don't have a lot of good protoss in my opinion.

i think toss is always doing the worst in tourneys and thats just a fact from recent events to old 1's. there are very minimal tosses with success but nu mores terran players with success and the top players who play zerg just rape so hard. I don't know why but the game still needs some things fixed there are still imbalancess, they've made zerg so much stronger and toss weaker and terran weaker, even though terran was just ridiculous to begin with.
