    Love the "Oh look, Protoss is so OP" crowd. Yes, Protoss has shield batteries and recall... but wait up, what's this, Terran:
    - Can create workers that mine more and cost only energy
    - Scan anywhere on the map instantly and see even invisible units
    - Has units that can shoot further than they can see
    - Have a unit that can almost one-shot instakill most gateway units
    - Has marines; cyclones and (landed) vikings that have a crazy high DPS.
    The whole point of perfect balancing isn't to remove all of the unique abilities that give a race a one-up in certain situations, but making sure that the general scope of the races means that they each have different advantages... Given that the #1 Korean is a Terran, and there's also players like TY, HeRoMaRinE and SpeCial all made it to BlizzCon, sort of highlights that Terran's aren't as disadvantaged as people love to suggest.

    • @AllThingsFascinate
      @AllThingsFascinate 5 лет назад

      No, but a lot of that is off TvZ and tvt. TvP does have some problems. And by no means should the cool uniqeness be removed.

      @@AllThingsFascinate
      I'll concede to that, and I wouldn't claim that the races are perfect. My comment was because there were a group of people simply saying "Protoss are OP, they got mass recall". Or words to that affect.
      The problem you'll find, which makes it impossible for balance teams, is that Pro's will always find the weaknesses in the current meta and exploit and so even if near to perfectly balanced, the pro will make it appear imbalanced. Hence, there's either the current situation of regular revision or you'd have to have near identical races like in WCII.

    hi, watching these matches I see that is possible to give multiple command to the units during the scouting. like ask to an scv to go in one direction and once he will reach that point you have already set another point that the scv has to reach. i am a very beginner in this game. How can i do the same? when i use a unit to scouting and i set a direction on the map i can only set one direction per time and after the unit get that point choose another point. how can i do to set multiple point to reach so that in meantime i can do other things? thanks

    I think if he would have went ghost/liberator with some emp shots on the stalkers it would have done better then the banshee's. Plus you can scan and pop the observers with a ghost. This style would very well against Zerg though! Good match.

Meanwhile also this year PvZ was as low as 57% zerg favored, and TvZ was as low as 55% zerg favored (like it was in September/october). PvT is the statistically most balanced matchup we have right now. And then before terran players/fans start whining like crazy, yes right now terran is lagging, but zerg is universally ahead, and 5 months in 2017 were more terran favored in PvT than the HIGHEST protoss favor this entire year, being as ludicrously bad as 41% Protoss at one point.
