I don't get it. It's 20 terrans, 7 Zergs and 5 Protosses. So why is everyone talking about P being UP when the obvious elephant in the room is the 20 Terrans?
It's been like this for a whole year. Just because Zergs have gotten better at exploiting the metagame, doesn't mean Zergs are suddenly on the level of Terran. Z and P are both underpowered compared to Terrans.
the reason is that
1. the gsl-final two months ago was zvz
2. zerg has quite a winrate against toss. it's currently like p<z<t. if you would have bet only based on that thought, you would have won 41:14 (~75%) bets of arena of legends and code s august and october (tendency increasing).

One game was wrong

And with your cheese, will you take some protoss whine?

I wish I would had read Group B - Puzzle vs. 1-1-1 (Ryung, MarineKing and Bomber) before I voted. Balls!! Poor HongUn, is what I would had said if I did not still hold grudges against him for unjust personal reasons.

oh man and I thought zerg has it bad ;p
|
Wow, those predictions were spot on for day 1! The only thing they got wrong was the way in which MKP beat Puzzle.
|
I desperately want a Sad Toss t-shirt. Please please please please! :-D
|
Stream down for anyone else?
|
I hate that Terran is so overpowered at higher levels. I want to see a zerg win the GSL besides Nestea or a Protoss. I predict by 2015 a foreigner will have won the GSL

Yeah for me it all comes down to a terrible design issue that allows such an easy tech path, I don't know how Blizzard can get out of it -.-
That easy tech path and the fact that everything is good along this tech path (compared to BW)...[/QUOTE]
What is concerning is the slowish pace at which Blizzard addresses the balance between all three races. As far as I'm concerned the clock is really ticking here.
Recently (last month or two) there is a consensus that GSL has simply gotten boring. It's the same match-up every single time and the entire tournament is dominated by Terrans.
A boring sporting event drives away spectators..which will drive away advertisers...which will deplete sponsorship dollars...which will drive away pro-gamers (or end their careers).
Blizzard has a lot to gain by quickly and intelligently addressing the balance issues. Positioning SC2 as THE E-sport game will benefit them greatly.
Not only do they get huge revenues from selling the game..They will open up new revenue streams by licensing broadcasting rights...then they make even more money by releasing updates to the game..you know..updating the graphics engine etc..
But this can't happen without a balanced game.

I dunno. Some of these new Code A protoss look quite promising. Hero should love the new warp prism change too, heh.
|
I would also be interested in a tee....
Anyone care to capitalize on toss QQ?
lol

These articles are always a fun read. ^_^
