Technically, in minds of woe-is-terran fans, Flash and Fantasy don't count as terrans. So he is correct in saying that terrans have not done anything for ages. | ||

That's not mutually exclusive. If the whole world was dying in poverty but one man could have everything he wanted, wouldn't you say that the human race is suffering? | ||

If the whole world was dying in poverty but one man could have everything he wanted, wouldn't you say that the human race is suffering? Well, 8 out of the top 15 PL players are Terran, 4 of the top 15 ELO, TvZ is 52.5% and PvT is 50.5% for PL also. There where 3 Terrans in the Ro8 of OSL and now 1 in the final. The MSL is the only place you can really say Terran is suffering, and it has pretty shitty maps for Terran, but last season when the maps where good for them, 5 out of 8 in Ro8 and 3 out of 4 in Ro4 where Terran. Terran isn't doing the best right now but come on. EDIT: Noticed that your original post said individual leagues. so my first part is irrelevant I guess, but I still stand by my point. | ||

Take out the best players of a race and you can always say they're suffering. You know who the 7th best protoss was during the 6 dragons era? + Show Spoiler + BackHo IIRC. Also some of the dragons had sub-50% MUs. Yes they all had 60%-ish overall winrate, but that's their golden age. Terran isn't that much worse right now. | ||

Also to note, 4 of the top 15 is disproportionately against terrans. | ||

Ok, in terms of writing Battle Reports the first game is give, so it does have value in that sense, but still, we're probably missing out on some great stuff if we're not told to watch any of the 1st BO3 games | ||

Aren't they important too? Ok, in terms of writing Battle Reports the first game is give, so it does have value in that sense, but still, we're probably missing out on some great stuff if we're not told to watch any of the 1st BO3 games Those games were played at an earlier date. Going into these games, 1 game of each series was already decided and that was to provide the information to the thread so people wouldn't go "But he only won one game, why is the series over?" They have their own threads on the forum from when they were broadcasted. | ||

If the whole world was dying in poverty but one man could have everything he wanted, wouldn't you say that the human race is suffering? So when there were 3 out of 4 terrans in the last MSL round of 4, Flash was the only one who wasn't suffering? Come on man, the top players out of every race always do disproportionately better than the other players. You can't just discount their results when it suits you. Also, In terms of results, protoss is actually the race that has suffered the most for the last few years- no titles in 2010 or 2009 in the individual leagues. Spare a thought for them.  | ||

Bisu beat Jaedong with corsair reaver->carrier in 08 on Andromeda. But it would be more interesting if Snow didn't win with carriers, but rather with archons. Lots and lots of archons. | ||

Even if you took out Bork you still had Kal, Jangbi, Free, Best who were making finals/semifinals constantly. Aside from the last MSL, Flash has been the only Terran to even reach a semifinal, that's not good for the Terran race. | ||

If the whole world was dying in poverty but one man could have everything he wanted, wouldn't you say that the human race is suffering? If we look at the big picture (the entire history of BW), Terrans have dominated for almost a decade while Zerg less, and Protoss a lot less So they finally have a season recently that they don't do so hot. Is it that much of a problem? Terran race is not even close to suffering if you look at how dominant they were overall | ||
