you mean the game he 100% lost ve parting but was regamed cause he kicked the ethernet cable out?
Yes! Haha that's an epic way to describe it. The game that he lost was the one I'm talking about, not the rematch where he rushed parting for a win. It was on Entombed map and MKP was playing really well vs parting the whole game, the end result was a loss for terran but his skill in that match was incredible.
My point is that, few terran could ever play to that standard, and because it's so important to balance out the game for the top-tier players, it kind of ruins the game balance for anything below GM. Even the bio splits of supernova and fantasy were nowhere near the level of MKP, innovation, bomber etc. What makes it worse is that it does not take a lot of skill to land storms particularly when you already have 5+ high templar running around, compared to the splitting that terran has to pull off.

Just what is "normal" for the Terran race? Are we going to talk about balance at the professional level or below?
Below the professional level there can be no doubt terran is not in a good place vs protoss. At the OSL level it feels pretty balanced.
