Not that I am complaining, TvZ is fun to play. Another reason is that no non-korean terran is really that strong right now, so more people have foreign idols with zerg? Last non-korean terran to win a lan tournament was Naama at Dreamhack 2010? And the last big even won by a foreign terran was Thorzain TSL3? I guess he also came close at DH valencia. | ||

Time to learn terran i suppose... sadly i don't think this Z surge is going to go anywhere when HotS comes out either. Time to train your zvz, HotS will be ZvZ galore  | ||

Its really situation based, TSL3 which was arguably the most important event ever since the beginning of sc2 expect for the GSL's was won by a terran, and that is the last important event won by foreign players with the exception of IPL3 which was won by Stephano ( who did not face any top tier koreans on his way to win ), Idra IEM ( which is not really on the level of a TSL , and the only good korean he beat was his teammate, and ofc HuK... but he trains in korea. Actually if you look at it this way.... since the koreans came into the scene foreigners won 5 tournaments 1 by a T, 2 by a Z and 2 by a P. Also, you can argue that the foreign terran didn't won that much is based on the fact that tvt is not as luck based as pvp or zvz thus when there race was "dominating" a tournament they stood no chance vs the remaining k terrans. | ||

Don't see a pattern in points. | ||

Maps are great for them, most early agression build from P/T are figured out enough to not die to them, and it's actually pretty common to win the majority of your games once you reach Broodlords. ( And people like the whole " If I can get to that, I will most likely win " ) The popularity of people like Stephano or DRG definitly help too. When you look at Zerg builds used at the moment, these builds are easy to pick up ( not to master obviously ) with satisfying results. So yeah, it's not surprising to see a lot of Zerg now. | ||

I think Stephano has this particular style of play that looks awefully simple and easy to pull off. You just listen to Bob Marley while getting 6 bases then you a-click the enemy base. How cool is that? I wanted to try it out so badly after watching him stream. | ||

it makes sense too, as (for example) on my off race account I have a like 10% winrate in TvT cause I just cheese (and cheese sucks in tvt) and i get about 70% TvT's. again I could be wrong, but it could be a system to make you try to improve your worst match up | ||

Now that I think about it, I do suppose that Zerg players get the most stream views, I'd be extremely interested to see total average viewers/race for like the top 20 streamers of each race. I wonder if Twitch would be willing to release statistics such as these. | ||

TvZ is my best match up and its imo the most beautiful MU to watch and the most entertaining to play ! => So much zerg = good thing ! ( I'm a zerg who switched to terran last season ) | ||
