He’s right. GSL CODE S is what matters. Not cannon clown streamers only in GM because the game is dead.

^^I’ll leave this quote here in case you edit your posts like you always do. You are the equivalent of a stuttering man child who can never get his points across in one go. I am not going to bother explaining and explanation. Sorry, but I limit my responses to people who don’t know how to read.
LOL now you have to resort to spelling errors. Oh gee look which letters are right next to each other on the keyboard. Ya what an egregious error, boy is my face red.

We have to look at the very top of ladder… where protoss dominates as well… i apologize to tehbatz for calling you his alt…

It is not sarcasm, even if GM are at the top of the ladder,most of them are totally not gods at the game.I said Lowko since he is a recognizable person, but I would name random nameless gm number XXX and it would be the same.Pros get these really high wr because most of the GM ladder level is low compared to them,lile a diamond player getting wins against high gold players. Long ago I saw Golden as T beating a Z with only one hand at 5200-5300mmr,thats the level you can find on ladder
No this game is not balanced at all. It revolves around HAVING to play a certain way or it’s GG.
Terran are the most OP race this game has and it shows. EMP just DOMINATES protoss and there is NOTHING they can do about it.
Storm, EMP…Batteries, EMP…forcefield, EMP…hell ANYTHING that protoss has…EMP.
So what good is Protoss without ANY of their casters? I seriously don’t even bother with HT’s anymore because they just are invalidated from EMP. EVERYTHING in my army is invalidated by EMP.
But this game is balanced right because Protoss has an ability to invalidate all of Terran’s casters…oh wait they don’t.
If that’s not enough then you have Anti-Armor missiles and interference Matrix just because hell, why not?
So please tell me how is this balanced when 1 ability just invalidates your entire army?

some pro T/Z players don’t play ladder or don’t like to play ladder. Simply because there are only protoss.
I don’t think you can talk about “best” balance… when 40-50% Gm are toss.
You’re right. GM and ladder stats are only indicative of the overall difficulty of a race.
What about the last 4 years of aligulac data?
No?
What about the year’s Premier Tournament winners (60%)
No?
Major Tournaments? (Again, 60%)
No?
If not these what?
Truth is, defending Protoss is your religion.

Ever hear of a “disruptor?” Pretty good against expensive, slow, tightly clumped units.

Yea, but not every Protoss in Bronze/Dia is able to juggle with 6-8 Disruptors at a time. Even a moron is able to stim forward the MMM from Bronze to GM.
This is the result of heavy-nerff to every Protoss unit (core or not), so the last hope of protoss race now is the Disruptor.
Protoss lives and dies by Disruptor.
More terran doublespeak. If it was so good, why don’t you use it. But you’d rather abuse the easier pressing T on all your ranged units all game. Trying to tell protoss a unit is good, when they can’t even win a GSL CODE S.
If the unit was so good, they would win a GSL CODE S with it. Stop whining.

HAHAHAHA! But the GEE ESS ELL!! All you kids can actually cry about. 45% of GM, 4 years of domination in PVT, 60% of tournament wins with your easy race and you actually have the balls to cry about the one tournament you haven’t won with your mediocre players.

You sound like an actor, trying really badly to mimic terran crying?
if it is about the EMP range upgrade (i forgot even what the last thing they did was this?)… I think we can live without it but invalidate templars is an exaggeration.
qft
but GSL but GSL winner… they even have a finalist every time Trap on finals but GSL code S mate!
So as I previously posted - buff protoss because Trap’s insufficient skill to beat Dark or Maru has to be… helped? Get out PPP. Trap is the rookie compared to those other I mention. Maybe close to them but if you can’t beat a player 10 times (dark in this case) then you are not his skill no matter if close to it
Exactly such ill thought buff to ‘help Trap’ would turn the game entirely like in 2018-2019

Please provide examples how EMP DOES NOT invalidate templars. Go ahead, Ill wait
Wouldn’t it be interesting to split the total MMR into vP, vZ, vT mmrs? I’d bet ladder hero Protoss have much higher MMR rankings in vT and vZ than they do in vP. That’s how it is in the pro scene (ex: aligulac glicko rankings).
I’ve been meaning to find time to pull data from the Battle.net API but I am a busy man. One day, maybe, in the future. Basically you have to have both A) a large number of accounts and their MMR, and B) a match history between each account with a lot of overlap. With that you can regress individual matchup MMRs. Blizzard’s exact mmr algorithm is defined in the AlphaStar paper. So it’s a matter of rolling back their current mmr back in time through their match history, splitting out games based on the race of their opponent.

There is always templar to hide somewhere even newly warped templars, few storms change the game

Its common tactics for high level players to actually micro their units. You know, they split their units up?? Kind of like how Terran and Zerg are constantly forced to dodge disruptor balls until they inevitably lose the game, Protoss can split their templars so they all dont get emp’d. Also you have this unit called a warp prism. Another common tactic is hiding the templar inside of it.
But you wouldnt want to play in a way that requires skill would you now?

TCF vs PPP vs ???
I’m still waiting for an equally honarable abbreviation for Zerg within this scene terminology. The legend… It has to be completed.
