i would argue protoss requires much more micro than terran

They're virtually the same as they were in bw.

That's all I said, they're a simple race to play for a beginner. Although being a random player I can say that they're the easiest race to use for me at higher levels of play. I just feel like they're so easy to macro and build up a huge economy once you secure your expansion and unlike the other races, you really can't go terribly wrong with unit compositions until late game. I've never been run over by any race using protoss. You might lose a fight but it's never one sided.

Nerz seems to be the best war2 player on sc2 (by along way). Then Capook then Koorb.

Nerz is somewhere between 900-1000 right now, I am at 662, though admittedly i've played less than half as many games as him so far in live and a lot less in beta as well.

He is probably the best sc2 player from war2 by a large margin right now.

I was actually hoping war2 players would represent better but oh well.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the ladder though, while it can be a partial indicator of someone's skill it is ultimately designed through bonus pool and rating system to inflate and give the majority of players the feeling of constant progression.

The MMR system is ok for online ladders but it will take a few months for it to accurately calculate everyone's MMR.

In the end it is just a ladder, don't pretend you are good just because you have points on it, and don't feel you are bad just cause you aren't at the top of diamond.

Just play the game and try to learn it and don't worry about superficial things like a ladder designed for casuals.

Can't wait til til we can play with usa

some serious wrong with the gas/minerals ratio. I start my third base to get more gas and not more minerals. That feels wrong.

Just 2gate.

Zerg is at a huge disadvantage mid game against a 2gate. There is a huge window where zerg is extremely vulnerable vs 2gate.

I used a 3rd party website: Starcraft 2 Rankings

Use the search button on top, middle button.

Edit: my ranking is top 9,000 in NA, not 7,000. Even more epic!

Actually, use the character code button if you know their name and code, or else you might see lots of duplicate names.

You can get many war2 players names/codes from here:
Screen names and unit code

Not sure why my rank keeps changing. Sometimes it says 6,000 ish, sometimes 8,000 ish. Ah well.

What are Nerz/nalz's name and codes?

Check out the differences between diamond divisions. here is the top rated diamond division(Average points 749):
Medivac Alamo

and here is mine(average points 408):
Torus November

And here is the worst diamond division(average points 298):
Zer’atai Indigo

My division is closer to the bottom than the top.
