That being said, I do think it is pretty lame to back out and still act cocky, if you make such claims about protoss being ridiculously easy and reaching rank 50 GM ezpz, the least you could do is to act humble when backing out of it (your best reason basically is that you hate pvp and don't like to play it, what does this have to do with your claims about protoss being easy?). In the end you probably don't care at all because you've won quite a few streamviewers (frustrated terrans that like to shit on protoss) and you will not change your attitude vs protoss => laddercommunity will stay as hateful as it is. | ||

The truth of the matter is, he realized Protoss isn't as easy as all the balance haters would have you think, and tucked his tail and ran to try and save face. Having an insane win rate in PvT doing all-in oracle // blink plays against bad NA Masters players doesn't mean anything either. His Protoss in general was just so terrible that he couldn't even climb the ranks high enough to test his mettle against half decent competition. | ||

He is standing for his position as a professional whiner. | ||

However thanks for the joy you brought me watching a terran try to play Protoss. Wish you the best of luck trying to become an even better terran with the knowledge you gained about protoss ) | ||

We need all the foreign Terrans we can get, the way of the Protoss will seem tempting but soon enough Blizzard will come to their senses and give the other races more toys. | ||

Everyone thinks Protoss is this easy race that anyone with a pulse can play, but there are a lot of nuances to it that people don't notice. PvZ is quite hard. PvP is very tricky (and no, it's not a total coinflip like everyone says it is... some people are known for having good PvP). I think the reason his PvT was better than his other MUs is because he has a better understanding of Terran as a natural Terran player, not because "PvT imba." The win rates for professional PvT are actually very close to 50%. I did the same exact thing he did, but switched to Terran from Protoss (to prove to my friends that Terran was not harder). My best MU was TvP, because I already have an understanding of what the Protoss can do and when he can do it. Savior during his ZvT annihilation period in BW used to practice exclusively as Terran for long periods of time. It's that study of the opponent's race that allowed him to be so dominant (he has said this in interviews). | ||

I'm glad your stunt in stoking "imba!" whine and retarded discussion from community morons came to a crashing halt. Better luck grinding and getting better with your chosen race. "More gg, more skill" as Grandpa Toss, says. | ||
