I was not hyped at all about 20 terrans in GSL but watched and enjoyed every series coz you can watch the best SC 2 games only in SPL and GSL.

I will not be surprised if a terran will win like this http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_VII_-_Singapore or this http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/HomeStory_Cup/7 Also SPL and Warer.com show that the problem is not with races but with lack of good terran players in korean region, Code S level players like jjakji, TaeJa, MMA, Bomber, Polt, ForGG, YoDa and Mvp changed the region that is why we see so little terran players in GSL. Add them to our 3 terrans + top SPL perfomers Flash and TY and you will get 13 Terrans in Code S. | ||

Top SPL Performers Flash and TY both lost in qualifying. Flash went 0-2 vs P and 1-2 vs Bravo, TY went 0-4 vs P. Meanwhile, do you consider half the players that qualified through Code A REALLY Code S level players???? SPL is a bad example because THE BEST OF THE BEST terrans fight B/C/D - Teamer Protosses, Warer.com is an Invitational in which the sample size is low and the Protosses competing are indeed of a lower level compared to the terrans. | ||

Flash and TY lost to  YongHwa if you do not know who is YongHwa plz stop discussing and I know all former results and potential of players who have qualified and only Flash, Cure and KeeN were favorites of their groups Panic may seem like a lucker but if we look at his online and nonbroadcasted games he was going to whether continue his lose streak at broadcasted matches or finally show his potential which he had shown online. The only surprises are loses from Flash, KeeN, Hurricane, FanTaSy and Seed and wins from Bbyong (no surprise if you saw his online results though), Panic (wins online a lot), Pet (very young and skillful) and Ruin (very skillful and unpredictable) other results have no surprises. The number of young and  are much higher then that is why we have so few terrans. Can you say me at least 5 players who are under 19 for or players except Flash and FanTaSy who were good at BW? I can easily say 5+ players who whether were good at BW or are under 19 for and but not for where all 19- and BW stars are in EU and AM. | ||

It also makes you wonder, Maybe there's a reason other than accross the board sudden influx in skills that those protosses you name are favorites if that is because of online and recent results... PS Very good to know all of those former results and especially the potential of players bro! | ||

Every player who has qualified did well in other events or prelims. | ||

Your statement "Tell me what player did not deserve the Code S slot. Every player who has qualified did well in other events or prelims." confuses me. Isn't it logical that IF (HYPOTHETICALLY) something is wrong with certain matchups, say X beats Y 95% of the time, it is LOGICAL for X to have better results in events or prelims than Y and, following your logic, X players are better than Y players and deserve Code S placement more than Players of Y? That's pretty flawed logic when considering racial balance. And I can point out which people in last gsl season would probably have been favorites, if that makes you happy. | ||

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. This view is clearly far too logical for the internet | ||

There are only 3 protoss players Panic, Ruin, MyuNgSiK that may seem to be lucky ones. Panic played vs Cure and won 2-0, Cure loses a lot TvP before the patch and won a lot of TvPs after the patch link + Panic's best matchup before and after the patch is PvT so it is again not about balance. Ruin advanced by beating Sleep twice and faced 0 terrans so your point about PvT is not relevant. MyuNgSiK's best matchup before and after patch is PvT and he played very little games to judge his level but if you saw his games in summer vs INoVation he played a unique style which nobody played back then and almost won also he beat FanTaSy 2-0 and has no other results. In Code A he played vs KeeN who did not show any good results for a long time and loses to protosses before the patch a lot so it is not about balance here again. | ||

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, Flash, TY and INnoVation will most probably make it next season, unless YoDa, jjakji and Bomber return I don't think the numbers will be in terran favor anytime soon. There are several borderline players, like FanTaSy, Cure, KeeN or Dream, Reality (and Bbyong + 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... | ||

These people have worked hard to get where they are, they deserve just as much respect as any other player at any other given time. It's not their fault if terran is weak right now. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
