Can we take the balance discussion elsewhere? It typically doesn't get anywhere, and there are several threads discussing essentially the same subject right now, I don't think it's fair to pollute this thread with it as well, especially since very little of this has anything to do with the hype video itself.

+++ it is so annoying to see this whine and people just can not stop it. I really can not remember when people enjoyed the game. I am very hyped about this season so much my fav players here I am rooting for Life to make finals and I do not even know who I would like to take the second place... Classic just does not lose, herO can win anyone and can lose to anyone too, YongHwa is solid as usual, TRUE has awesome agressive low tier style, Solar is the new zerg star, RorO's guerilla tactics make me enjoy his play so much, Hydra's eye story make me root for him, Sora is the new fan favorite, SuperNova's mech is the only thing I like about terrans nowdays, Stats's carriers and more, more, more

Yeah, that's what I've been saying all Code A. I don't really care too much for balance - yes, probably there is an advantage for P in early game in PvT matchup (made of mostly 1 timing and map pool allowing it) but there is just less terran players currently in GSL ecosystem than protoss or zergs. Not every terran can advance and while yes, (T)Flash, (T)TY and (T)INnoVation will most probably make it next season, unless (T)YoDa, (T)jjakji and (T)Bomber return I don't think the numbers will be in terran favor anytime soon. There are several borderline players, like (T)FanTaSy, (T)Cure, (T)KeeN or (T)Dream, (T)Reality (and (T)Bbyong + (T)SuperNova) but them winning or losing has less to do with balance and much more to do with the actual skill and form on the match day.

And @SC2Toastie, you should learn to actually respect what DiMano says as he probably knows more about Korean scene than you, me and about half of TL combined...

I am going to watch all terran ganes avidly and maybe learn something about PvZ who knows this season could be better than what I expect tbh
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Bold prediction: This will be a fantastic season with some of the best games in GSL history and an epic final that no one will watch because the whiny people of the community will keep going on and on about representation and lack of Terran and blah blah blah. Plus it won't get any credit because non Terran matchups get zero respect.
PartinG fanboy to the max, Rain/Squirtle/Dear/Scarlett/Bbyong are cool too. I don't always watch Dota2 but when I do I have no clue what's going on. GOGO POWER RANGERS

Fluctuations happen and races will go up/down in representation, the only disappointing part is blizzard insisting that their vision for the game is the one that players/viewers want.

It's like they are completely unable to see that the customers are unhappy.

Don't take your anger out on them.

Yeah, nah. We had plenty of Zergs during the queen patch era that were quite obviously only having success because of the game being totally imbalanced. They may be working hard but you can only give someone so much credit when they start with an unfair advantage. Even pro Zergs at the time understood that the PatchZerg phenomenon was very much a real thing.

Also all of you saying you're not hyped for this tournament don't make much sense. If you hate protoss and zerg, then the only three matchups you like are TvP, TvZ, and TvT. Since you are claiming that the first two are broken then you only like TvT, which means you're not gonna be satisfied without a repeat of 2011. C'mon guys, I wanted Flash, TY, and Inno to get in too, but approach this season with at least a partially open mind, seeing as we have 32 of the best players in the world set to square off for your enjoyment.


Well... yeah. PvP does not compare to any of the three match ups listed above. PvZ is sometimes okay to watch, but even then usually not very exciting--- in fact, it can be the worst. There is nothing more dull than watching swarmhosts in action. ZvZ is alright to watch, overall.

Notice something about the most popular/memorable games? They usually involved one Terran. Three Terrans (well, GOM will probably invite Innovation or another Terran to replace jjakji purposely) is a very sad thing to look at.

Not really. A huge chunk of the zergs doing well in that era were either established players prior to the queen patch and/or they went on to make waves in HotS.

I mean the patchzerg crap got so out of hand that people were calling Scarlett and Symbol patchzergs xD

HAHAHAHA, Zealously giving you a TL+. Otherwise, I agree!

Also, sorry, mate. Compared to your other work, this hype video was a bit weak, but then again it might be me because of the low amount of Terrans

Why would anyone be hyped for this Code S? It's only a tournament with a tiny $150,000+ prize pool and completely unknown players like (P)PartinG, (Z)Soulkey, (P)Rain, (T)Maru, (P)Dear, (Z)Leenock, (P)Squirtle, (Z)Life, (T)SuperNova, (Z)RorO, (P)HerO(jOin), (Z)DongRaeGu, (P)sOs, (Z)Solar,(P)Sora, (Z)Curious and (P)Classic.

I certainly don't see any reason why a fan of SC2 would be excited over it.


Never EVER put RorO on the same categories as those lovable guys!

you can say that now they're Gomexpvz lol.....

anyways,, 3 terrans in Code S is not that bad, maru and supernova(TvP Mech ?? That thing is very interesting) are always entertaining to watch.
(even though I'd say terran is still quite struggling this time around)

What I am interested in is how will the koreans break the "Swarmhost, Tempest late game" which most of the time makes boring long matches or maybe making the swarmhost vs Tempest exciting

So the large contingent of Euro Zergs who just appeared out of nowhere and started dominating the region right about the same time as the queen patch and who have mysteriously quieted down or even disappeared since the release of HotS was just some crazy coincidence?
