This map imba talk is ridiculous. The #1 and the #2 TvZs got themselves eliminated by Terrans and (P)Stork. The other potential TvZ candidates are (T)fOrGG, (T)Midas, (T)Sea and (T)Fantasy. (T)fOrGG retired, (T)Midas got (Z)Jaedong'd, (T)Sea got himself killed by (Z)Action and (Z)ZerO, and (T)Fantasy is (Z)Soulkey's bitch.

The number of zergs is a statistical anomaly.

Of course it was not the map that lost stork the game vs zero. And good players should be able to handle bad maps. Still nobody can deny that maps can make it alot harder or easier for that matter depending on what side your on.

I hope stork put focus on tomorrow. The maps are more or less balanced it seem and hopefully he can perform better then today.

MSL just seem destined to be a zvz fest so OSL is the protoss hope.

are statistically favoured to Zerg

Cmon, statistic can be applied only to large amount of data. How you can name Dante's Peak Z favored if only 3(!) PvZ has been played here.
ZvP: 2-1 (66.7%) - no way you can say smth about map balance from this.

So, what's up with your statement that this season is full of P maps?

Lol at the guy who claim that this season is full of P map, this is the swarm season right from the start and many pro-gamer (Zerg player included) said that maps favor Zerg many times, do you think you have more knowledge than progamers or something ?

Of course there's no way to make excuses for a loss based on map imbalance (unless it's beesuit's loss), but they should make a season with maps really favor Protoss over both Zerg and Terran (like last season for Terran and this season for Zerg), just to be fair since they just rotate from Zerg maps to Terran maps and back to Zerg maps. The circle should be like Zerg->Terran->Protoss->Zerg->....

Or they can just play every single game on Fighting Spirit.

Why did they have to remove it, so balanced and fun.

Zero had much better macro than Stork this game. He's clearly ahead in the metagame.

Can people on this site stop assuming that progamers randomly lose their ability to macro half-decently every time they see that one side has more units than the other?

Stork's macro had little to do with the results of that game.

I do believe that was sarcasm, as macro and metagame are completely unrelated concepts. I assume okum meant zerg macro imba or ZvP imba or something along the lines of zerg imba.

It's true that if we gather 5 most balanced maps of BW history to play in every Starleague the games will be very fair but strategies won't evolve without new maps.

Basically the whole PvZ meta game would not have evolved without Destination, the same applies to Terran mech vs Zerg.

I did wonder about the "metagame" thing, but it's not just that comment, I see it all the damn time in LR threads. See: Any time best wins a game.

Make a map with 10 neutral carriers, battlecruisers and guardians in each main.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Maps with 2 back expos and one natural (like central plain). There's 1001 way to make maps favor one race over 2 others, so what's your point ? Did you read my post or not ? I said that they should include Protoss maps into the current circle of Zerg maps -> Terran maps -> Zerg maps -> ..., I didn't say anything about balance or something, cause there is rarely a season that is balanced, so it's just easier to rotate the map favor among 3 races.

This season was intended to bring favor to P (you cant create central plains without warm feelings to the tosses). You can see a lot of map with open center as well. Though, it mostly favor PvT not PvZ.
