SPOILER WARNING: This post contains spoilers that a Terran loses in the GSL finals

Terran loses in GSL Finals Again


For the fourth straight time, a Terran has lost in the GSL Finals. MarineKing lost in a brutal 0-4 series. It was a very close series that saw many tough games and battles, but the Terran player was unable to defeat his opponent. Following yet another disappointment for Terrans in the final, the question on everyone's mind is, can Terran stop losing in the finals?

[image loading]
MarineKing hoped to finally win a GSL for his Terran race, but could not overcome his opponent's race

One reason might be that Terran has consistently been overrepresented in the later stages of GSL, so statistically they have had a very good chance of losing in the finals. Think of it like Tasteless trying to match the introductions every game, occasionally he'll get close only to get the next one wrong.

The Terran ineptitude can also be attributed to the awful Terran players that have gotten far in the GSL. ST_RainBOw, LiquidJinro, oGsEnsnare, MarineKingPrime.WE are all just terrible, terrible players. In addition, some of the truly great Terrans that have gotten far in the GSL, such as NEXLiveForever, TSL_Rain, and PoltPrime.WE, have encountered some bad luck in their GSL appearances.

Within the SC2 community, the persistent Terran failure has ignited all sorts of discussion on how underpowered Terran is. Many are calling for marines to be buffed, since they are pretty clearly the weakest unit in the game. Most seem to think that MULE energy needs to be decreased so Terran players can use all their SCVs to attack without having to worry about ruining their economy. Still others just want a button for Terrans to push that let's them win immediately.

In somewhat related news, some other player won the GSL. He used his race masterfully to beat the Terran. The SC2 world still awaits the first Terran to not lose in the GSL finals.

With the Starcraft 2 map editor, we have that power. Put the races of Warcraft III together with the races of Starcraft for a brutal fight to the death.

No more destructible fucking rocks - instead, neutral creeps will guard your back expansions.
My strategy is to fork people.

Neutral creeps guarding my backdoor rocks? Perhaps this is how we should make Blistering Sands a balanced map haha!

WC3 creep =/= SC2 creep.

In WC3, creep is the term for groups of hostile critters scattered around the map who often guard neutral buildings and items. So, I'm pretty much implying that my backdoor rocks should be guarded by Murlocs.

Unless you're just being sarcastic, in which case I feel like a nub for having a crappy sarcasm detection.
