Yeah, I read that too. Terran is getting a nerf, but I don't think it will affect much of his core units since they're basically their bread and butter.
Personally, I prefer buffs towards my race moreso than nerfs because one presents more opportunities for my race and the other just reveals weaknesses and thus more strategies for me to cope with ):
Aren't we treading dangerous waters by discussing nerfs/buffs in a general tone?
I wouldn't think so, it's a documented interview with Browder and it's directly related to the subject of this fan thread. I'm not flailing my arms around shouting "OHMUGURD NURF X".
I don't know if a Terran nerf would actually matter anyhow, seeing as idrA says he's having a lot more trouble with Brotoss right now.
Aren't we all [zerg players?] Toss is my worst mu.

I think it's too much to say that Morrow is not good as Zerg, he just got 2nd at Assembly and there was some pretty significant talent there.
Although I don't understand why people keep harping on this Morrow//Idra thing. Idra is a ro8 GSL player and Morrow is a middling Zerg at smaller tournaments.

Oh, no, sorry, I play Toss. IdrA has just always been my hero since BW days, and I would be ecstatic to see him play Toss, XP. Much <3 for all Zergies though, not here to start a race war.
I bet IdrA has stopped streaming to go into intensive secret training; next time he appears he'll be jacked, have a 3-day beard and be ready to style on Jinro, the TSL and GSL 1-handed.
I switched to zerg months ago because of you Idra and was able to reach 3k masters....... However, I can't take the stress of getting beat by far less skilled terrans anymore. I regret to inform you I have switched back to protoss.
The Swarm will still have a special place in my heart.
I'm trying to wrap my mind around what it would be like, if Idra won a GSL with a carrier transition. I think the universe would collapse from the weight of the irony.
Was on Idra's stream and someone posted that day9 is a better pro-gamer than him and Idra is bad because Idra hasn't won any gsl and does only the same BO over and over. Don't understand why everyone says the same thing "He has never won a GSL." Theres like 1500+ people in Masters league and only 4 of them have the honor of being a GSL champion. That and another thing I hear all the time is, "Idra Q_Qs about zerg being weak against terran but 2/4 seasons have zerg champion, and only 1 has a terran winner." Lets see. 4 tournaments so 16 people in top 4. Out of those 16. 3 are zergs. 11 are terran and 2 are protoss, and 2 of those 3 zergs(3 zergs in all of the top 4. Fruitdealer once, Nestea twice) were kinda before the meta-game switch to 2rax marine all in. Zergs in all of ro8s. Nestea-3 times Fruitdealer-2 Idra-1 Zenio-1 Kyrix- 1 So hes one of the top 5 zergs in the world. And IMO, he got ro8 in GSL-Jan not GSL1/2/3 Which most of the players were still figuring out the current meta game shit. Yah they are still learning the meta-game atm but there are more knowledgeable then they were back then.
