    Please don't listen to the comments that demand play-by-play instead of actual meaningful commentary. The way you do things is so much more interesting and entertaining, and you're my favorite SCII caster in the world.

      I commented separately but my opinion is Fellowship of the Ring is mostly extremely boring. LotR in general is pretty great, don't get me wrong, but it was 3 hours of not a lot that was all that interesting. If you can stay awake long enough you can see the coolest part which was 2 minutes long. "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"

    Hi Lowko, I enjoy your tiny stories and they're quite amusing. About the "Attention Span of a 12-yr Old"..... I had the same thing. I remember reading was such a boring thing to me. Until I found this book: Another Fine Myth by Robert Aspirin. I learned to keep an open mind, to be patient, and I believe you'd be the type that would enjoy these kinda stories, especially if you are bored on an Airplane.

    I like to see great Zerg players beat silver spoon Terrans, so I generally use comparisons between their units to show imbalance.
    But compare the Roach and Stalker. Before S's Armored bonus, they have less dps. They have a little more toughness (until they have taken some damage, and then that won't heal back). They are significantly superior only in range and speed. And they cost almost twice as much.

    It seems pretty crazy to me if they do do try and balance the game based off the top 1%. Surely the other 99% is what you might say is more indicative of general play experience.
    It's nuts that Protoss units are *that good* compared to say Zerg. They say quantity is a quality of it's own and all, but when you are basically required to have at least one base more than your opponent to even attempt to match their unit power, then I think something is seriously wrong with whatever equation they are using.

    funny thing about Zerg being so nerfed and so weak compared to 2018's zerg, is that if you look at that year and all those tournaments Serral won, in half of them he was the only zerg in the semifinals, and only 1 of them had zvz finals. If you look at overall results in premier tournaments that year and remove serral, very few zerg got good results. Rogue and Scarlett won 1 tournament each, dark was 2nd twice and Reynor once.

      It has never been zerg op it's just that terran is more consistent than any other race, they are the early safe option and have always had answers to pretty much anything.
      Zergs play on a curve, terrans have the most come back potential imo, Protoss have always been the poo poo kah kah of the 3, MaxPax is the only one that gets protoss to a remotly good lvl and they call him an AI.
