I'd rather watch a 30 minute TvT than an 8 minute BO win. | ||

Actually it was 3 Zergs and 1 Terran, and the Terran should've advanced but was retarded and threw away 3 games after winning 2 in handy fashion. | ||

Give it a freaking break. Well its just that you start to get a bit frustrated when a matchup is 37-13 in official games for the last month. | ||

Think about it - why have 4 zergs in semi's during swarm season, and (almost) 4 terrans in semi's this time? Sure, the metagame changes and new strategies evolve, but I think the bigger reason is that the top progamers today are simply SO good they can capitalize on the SMALLEST opponent mistakes / map imbalances. The smallest differences in choke sizes, how far ledges are from places, walking distance to third gas, etc. can totally change a matchup. I think the map designers simply swung a tiny bit too far the other way after swarm season, but that's so easy to do considering how well progamers capitalize on small things, I won't get too hard on them. It's not something to cry about, it's simply a reflection of how good the players are today. All that being said, protoss probably has the toughest time. They seem somewhat demoralized, and I can imagine that while at low levels of play they are easier to manage, at the highest possible levels of play they probably have a more limited ceiling than terran and zerg. Maybe progamers' skills have simply reached that point. (That's not to say it's not possible to play even better, but humanly possible I'm not so sure there's much farther to go.) | ||

1. P currently have it far worse off than Z, yet you don't see P crying about imba, there's just some sadness that nobody is carrying the torch for the race ATM (I have hopes for Stork this OSL though). 2. A large part of the reason Z is having so much trouble is because of the state of ZvP. Take Light for example, he has always been a TvZ bonjwa, but his crappy TvP has kept him from going deep in leagues. Now that the P are all getting killed off early (mostly by Z), Light gets a free run through to show off his TvZ. T > Z > P > T is only balanced if the P are in there, otherwise you just end up with T >Z. You need the P to cull the likes of Light from the T ranks, so stop 3 hat hydraing them out of the leagues  . | ||
