Hey guys, I havn't written any topics on TL before. I'ts actually pretty sick if I think about it beeing this is my go to site when I wake up.

If you didnt know I started my journey 13 days ago. Switching from terran to protoss was my end goal. Here's alittle video about it:


The biggest reason I wanted to switch is because I do believe protoss playstyle suits me better since, the race is generally the more defensive, with alot of harass options.

There was also other factors like:
* imba (pvt)
* learning new stuff is fun
* mechanicly more forgiving
* requires less apm
* Tired of all the terran nerfs


The decision was made yesterday after a bad ladder session I got on tilt after some pvp games. I realised if Im getting tilted on a new mu after just 12 days, its not a good idea to switch since EU ladder consist of 50% protoss. I would lose my motivation and eventually quit the game which happened before and I dont want it to happen again.

Would I had made it? In my honest opinion it would all come down to how much I was willing to study replays and how much coaching I would get in the pvp and pvz matchups. Everytime runa, sortof or naniwa coached me my ranks went up and so did my understanding of the matchups by alot. Without coaching I dont think I would make it unless most of my matchups would be against terran and everybody knows the chances for that is lower than winning the lottery nowadays

I have probably made lots of brotosses happy I couldnt make it and dissapointed my terran brothers. But in the end I have learned more than I ever would have with terran in the same amount of time that I 'wasted'.

Im looking forward to play terran again especially mech

Well that was quick, but I am not really surprised at the outcome. The grass is always greener. Those stream viewers sure were nice for him for a while.

If you'd bothered to truly read his post you'd know that it was mostly because of the PvP matchup that he's ending his Protoss experiment. His opinions on the other matchups remain unchanged.

Why would you bother explaining something so someone who is clearly missing his brain..

well atleast your goal was more realistic then the one from avilo... He yesterday said that he can make it to rank 1 master in 1 day... and now hes diamond-.- Well Protoss is easy on lower lvls and even tho oracle is a shitty unit (dt2.0) i think its not that easy on higher lvls since you have to micro and react a lot to drops and so on.
Anyway gl hf with terra
