I do belive the change is for making zvt in korea (?) more even, since zvt there has some % winrate favour for T and has had for a very long time.

z favoured for the last 2 months, actually.

... destiny streamed the game and no one cared; it took his opponent personally taking issue with it on TL for the team to take action.

you're completely and totally wrong. it did not matter that he streamed the game. it would not have changed anything if he did it 'in a private manner'.

... yes?

I'm talking about taking responsibility for your actions and since he is on a pro team he should be extra careful if he wants to be on said team.

Of course, the problem with people getting offended with his racial slurs etc hasn't been fixed, and will not be fixed in anyway I belive, but the point is that he lost his team and this should be standard practice for all teams where the player acts like Destiny did.

Oh... I watched the wrong graph ^^

 

[Pandaman]

... yes?

you sure?

Racial slurs/faggot/etc isn't a professional manner (and not to mention just plain fucking stupid) when you stream infront of 5-10k people.

Didn't see that terran was last aswell


Oh and Blizzard about Terran vs. Protoss Late Game

After reading the responses to the recently posted balance update, we’ve seen that a lot of players wanted us to elaborate on the current state of the terran versus protoss late game. Before we begin the longer explanation, it’s worth pointing out that we didn’t originally comment on TvP because, overall, this match up remains balanced according to the games we are seeing, tournament results and ladder data.

We do agree that if both sides take few to no losses going into the late game, protoss can have an advantage. That said, we also know that terran players have a lot of offensive capability and harassment options at their fingertips in the mid-game. If terran players press that mid-game advantage, then protoss can’t necessarily get into the late game at their full potential, which can nullify any advantage they might have had. So, pressing that mid-game advantage is important (just as it would be important for protoss players to mitigate mid-game damage so they can to move into the late game in the strongest possible position). Ultimately, each game plays out differently, and depending on how the two races enter the late game, each side has a fair chance to win.

StarCraft II is designed with asymmetric design principles. We like having these differences between the races, as long as no one race or tactic offers a significant advantage. To put it another way, mirror matches already show us what StarCraft II looks like when both opposing forces have identical strengths at each stage of the game. In non-mirror matches we intentionally work to provide diverse strategies that make use of asymmetric design to produce varied, fun and interesting games, while maintaining excellent overall balance. That does mean that at different stages of the game, one race might have tools which represent an advantage against the others--though it’s important that those advantages can always be mitigated by good play.

All of this comes with an important caveat. We are already keeping a close eye on things and observing all stages of the game. If we start seeing our global ladder results shift dramatically or TvP win/loss ratios start to heavily favor one side or the other in major tournaments, we will deal with the situation accordingly.

Oh and i found out that im higher ranked then orb lol

 

[fanboi]

you sure?

Yes? Since you know his team will see it (and yes, they knew this from the beginning), but I talk more about (as I mentioned before) using a standard practice that if you use racial slurs and other demeaning words. you should get kicked out.

If you stream while doing it, you are even more stupid (whcih was my point).

[Yoshichan]

This season? Just the 5 1v1s. In total I played about 500 games with maybe 150-200 of those being 1v1s. I just played against a top gold player and I seem to have no problem 3-0 ing him regardless of the build he does so I think im at least a plat level player. Dunno maybe im overeating. Ill try to find some plat practice partners.

All right, good luck!

Hellions should cost 25 gas at least.

When they build them, they use the same tecnhique as they do with vultures. Hellions should

cost 75 as-well.

Quantic knew what they were getting when they signed him, no sympathy for them at all.

Yep. Kinda tired of people say Think About The Team! These teams knew what they got in their players. If not then shame on them, its their job.
