Also another 6 terrans, 3 of which are in 2 terran groups, are still to play. There's definitely a sharp decline in terran representation but it's not just maru and bbyong. Probably. | ||

We see protosses do weird builds and lose in proleague but then proceed to look very solid in code A (IM protosses, Zest ...). They might have not tried very hard in the team league. | ||

He forfeited the spot to move to EU. If he wanted to be in Code S he would have been. | ||

What i mean is look at the achievements of protoss players who qualified and compare them to zergs. Not to mention terrans who didnt qualify. | ||

yeah, everyone knows his name is Jumanji. RIP in peace terran. obviously it's not GSL's fault but i'm not sure i'll watch too much of this season considering the race i enjoy watching most is almost not represented and the least fun race to watch has huge representation. zerg is fine as long as it's not mass ZvZ though. | ||

ZvP is even worse from the games we saw from Life versus Afrotoss. A terrible game on Daedulus followed by 45 minute swarmhost game that was already over basically 10 minutes into the game. This entire season is PvP and ZvP guys. Have fun! .... | ||

Should be the other way around then, terran performing better in GSL and protoss performing better in Proleague. I think a lot of this has to do with the map pool, and the fact that GSL maps are picked instead of pre-determined, unlike Proleague. That eliminates the bias and favoring of the map selection process. For once, I might actually say that Proleague has less shit-tier maps than GSL. Funny, that.

RIP = Rest In Peace. It's commonly said for those who have died (tombstones / graves). But, the internet got ahold of it, and starting saying RIP in peace (obviously does not make sense, but that's what's funny about it. It's now Rest In Peace in peace!). | ||

Answer: No one is to blame except for the Code A Terran players failing to produce results.... this is probably the most intelligent answer all thread. i agree that the racial distribution is ridiculous for code S this season but it's no ones fault but the players themselves. all other leagues aside, protoss rarely gets a chance to shine in the GSL and the moment they get some form of momentum, a good percentage of non-protoss players start saying it's an easy race and/or blame david kim. | ||

Mary will win agaisnt lesser protoss but will lose to Parting, Dear, etc. In fact he will have 50% WR vP , so game is balanced. | ||

Maru has free reign in PL over Toss. Protoss only throw out their sneaky do or die strats there and he just outmicroes them. Just like last PL, where Protoss wins mostly came from a sort of early game thing. Which was the reason why the "play standard and just have better mechanics" Terrans took alot of wins. | ||

A big part of the salt comes from watching the actual games and seeing what protoss players are getting away with. When they keep winning with scouted blink all-ins game after game, I think some salt is warranted. | ||

Swarm hosts aren't fun to watch. Nor are Void rays. Sry. I'm only upset because the Terrans are losing to a bunch of horribly designed units (Oracle, Mothership Core, Blink stalkers). Terrans are in a position where they HAVE to be ready to defend both oracles (6+ marines) AND blink stalkers (need marauders). Since the two do not really overlap, Terrans are forced to scout thoroughly and early or else they risk losing to one of the aggressive builds. Blink stalkers aren't the worst thing ever designed, but when there is the MSC, the Protoss doesn't have to make a robotics for the high-ground vision, speeding up the attack considerably. In addition, the MSC has one of the strongest abilities ever (GIANT AOE SLOW THAT IS CASTED BY A FLYING UNIT). If that doesn't reek of poor design, I don't know what does. Humorously, all of the other abilities that the MSC has are also poorly designed. So, please don't give us that "objectivity" bullshit, because there's nothing more obnoxious than that. Of the Terrans left, I suspect only Supernova and Ryung will get out, leaving us with a whopping 4! | ||

Let's see how Maru does against these Code S protoss. He honestly had no chance against Dear in the grand scheme of things, he was soundly beaten both times. Curious to see how he'd go against protoss players like PartinG as well. | ||

It is kinda sad to have to see someone like Flash do this simply because he gets tricked with an early build order. Like serious the best BW Terran of all time can get a free pass to late game and that is what he determines is his best chance to win. that really is one of the biggest things that pisses me off with SC2. I completely agree. Late game toss is kinda broken. I have tweeted, posted, screamed, cried, yelled and moaned "Nerf warpgates, make it so it has an OPPORTUNITY COST to morph a warpgate from a gateway." Please for the love of the Gods change it so only gateways can be chronoboosted. It's not like chargelots and stalkers are slow... 1 bad engagement vs toss and you have lost the game. 0 defenders advantage, how can a RTS have gotten so popular with such a flawed fundamental game mechanic (that one is free blizzard, I called the mech upgrade buff 2 fracking years ago) | ||
