I like what Stork said about protoss just accepting the fate and not working hard on their game, some protoss became slackers starting to even get beat in pvt, if protoss starts to work hard instead of waiting for new maps, the imbalance will be compensated at least somewhat and innovations will come naturally as well. Protoss had always an option to go for cheesy plays on totm and they really didn't try to adapt to the map, the bad map is gone anyway. This race has the biggest room for improvement clearly as far as the average skill concerned, and this situation is the opportunity to improve strategically and skillwise. Also there is nothing else i would love to see in starcraft more, than a lot of radically unususal protoss play, why would anybody not want that? DAs, pvz arbiters, scouts, various combos, more pvz web, pvz carriers, pvz upgrades, etc, the silliest stuff will work if the opponent is unprepared and was practicing five hours a day versus some standard fe-sair, Backho-Calm is the recent proof, i think protoss strategic research should be encouraged. Its not like the zerg started using queens on a regular basis or 1 hatch guardian builds of some sort to dominate the protoss so hard again. | ||

Because they are in leading position, they are aggressors due to nature of matchup, most of the time it's protoss that has to adjust to new strats and standards zerg comes up with. It's a dire situation for protoss right now. So why not adjust with creativity and exploration of race potentials? Protoss is still an unexplored race. Similarly, zergs suffer a lot adjusting to all the terran shenanigans, who can throw anything at zerg and still win, the sc history is one long agonizing zerg struggle in zvt. Zerg put to use almost every unit, bug, spell and upgrade pattern there is, as well as the skill of average zerg vastly improved. All the innovations and rooms for deviations will come naturally after average protoss starts working harder. I understand, it's easy to say such things as a zerg and it's hard to come up with something new, yet solid. But right now it's the good timing for that, since the fresh map pool that will be used for a while isn't looking so good for the protoss. | ||

Seems Stork is giving a half-hearted try at leading the Protoss tactical division, but he doesn't really give the impression that he cares much anymore. Too much WoW, maybe? Still, at least he's playing solid, the same can't be said of Bisu or....ANY other Protoss player. Someone, save us from the Swarm! | ||

Yeah Stork doesn't seem to really care anymore. Every interview he talks about not practicing. :_: January needs to beat up the Khan team. | ||
