There's some real Protoss hate out there right now.
I don't know about Z being the best race so far. They're a good race, but ever since the Beta started they've been getting pounded pretty good. There's little they can do against a Protoss player and almost as little against a Terran player. Right now, Protoss are mostly going for early StarGates that are proxied in corners of the map to make a fast Void Ray. A single Void Ray or Hellion can kill a Zerg Queen with relative ease.
Mostly, it looks like Zerg is relying on the Roaches to cover them. Mutalisks are very poor against Thors when stacked, so they need to be micro'd properly to allow for a flank attack. Lings just die to Siege Tanks and Hydralisks are only mildly effective. Zerg Lair timing seems to be the cause of a few headaches right now, though I feel its just the Zerg players having a hard time adapting while the Protoss and Terran don't have to adapt much. Even with the Toss being nerfed 7 patches in a row, they're still one of the easiest races to play in SC2.
Sentries, Immortals, Collosi. So good!
