*grabs dwarven popcorn*
Developing game play/strategy for humans has pretty much been non-existent. Which is one of the reasons i dont think you can say with certianty humans are inferior.
This is actually a very feasible theory. I bet that if someone actually tried "properly" playing humans, he'd soon find out they can pack a punch. That would be a different kind of punch, of course, but you can't disregard it simply because you're not used to it.
This whole topic makes me think: Imagine if Starcraft players discovered the "zerg rush" technique first and collectively refused to play anything but Zerg since it's so powerful (which it is, no doubt). There would, however, be players who would put effort in exploring the alternatives and using other races' abilities, which are equally powerful but less known to wide public. "Weird" and "self-obstructing" as they are, those people would be fairly competitive against the Zerg, and while they would lose to the Zerg because of the "rush", they would also win because of their own cool abilities and strategies. And something tells me that Zerg victories would be more prominent among the community because they're easier to understand.
Also how many times has TK beaten swift?
Guys, we need statistics. Some actual log-derived statistics. I'll see what I can do today.
