you guys shuold also consider the fact that because protoss is immensely easy to play compared to the other races, the higher level skilled players dont actually have real skill compared to terran and zerg (as it requires a higher level to play these races). I know as a fact that a lot of terran / zerg players are much better than protoss players though the results dont say it, because they require much more macro/micro.

i think this is the most plausible reason why protoss are shit at high levels.

So then, you're saying if a Protoss player and a Terran player for example, switched race, neither having previous 1v1 experience with either, the Terran player playing as Protoss would win?

I beg to differ my misguided friend, (this is just something that I did, whether or not it provides any conclusive evidence is up for scrutiny) I played a 1v1 with my friend who is a very capable masters Terran player after a lovely balance dicussion, myself being a diamond Protoss player challened him to play Protoss and I would play Terran. The outcome, it was a long macro game on Xel Naga Caverns and in the end, I ended up winning with MMM Vikings and Ghosts. Going up against his "Unstoppable" deathball which i may add, included Carriers and a Mothership along with Colossi.

Vikings > Colossi AND Carriers
Ghosts and EMP > Protoss
