Well, I agree that this is a shift in the metagame, but I don't think its just going to pass by that easy, not when stats are above 60%, that's huge! Sure, the race-imbalances exist and I accept that, I just can't see a simple way back when the game have a natural Z>P. This little shift have changed it to P<<Z=T=P which makes the whole game towards Zerg>all.

The game has evolved for 10 years and SC2 is knocking at the door, I really don't think the BW-scene has that many seasons left. I want these last seasons to be fair and balanced, I want the last days of BW to be epic battles where the best players duke it out without any major imbalances! I really don't think there's time to wait for a new Revolutionist... The best way to balance up the game again must be to change the maps. The sooner people recognize all this, the sooner we'll see a change in the imba Z>all Pro-scene.

Didn't Artosis put something out a while ago that stats are only half the story, and that if the world's best players are Terrans, then Terran matchups should be favored and so on and so forth. So if our best player in the world is a Zerg, and a lot of good Zergs are blooming as well (Calm, EffOrt, ZerO, Kwanro, Yarnc, Luxury), then it would make sense that the Zerg matchups are favored?

-> Could be blatantly misinterpreting the blog.

Old ass build... Even I used that back in the WGT days, sometimes with stargate bluff, canceling after ovi leaves...
Problem with that build is that its all-in. No coming back if it fails.

it was mOvie yo. He also does an impressive corsair reaver. I agree with this 100%. I mean Stork beat JD with a 1 gate tech (or 1 gate into expansion or something, but the point is it was 8 pylon 10 gate, not a fast nexus)!

Slowzealots straggling behind goons in big fights = dead goons, dead zealots.

And how do we know a player is good, unless judging by results? Which doesn't really help. "Protoss players aren't doing well, so they are bad, and shouldn't do well. Zerg players are doing well, so they are good, and should be doing well."

Not to mention no corsairs with his army to ward off the mutalisks even though Bisu, unlike a lot of other protoss players, managed to prevent them from dying.
