TLO FIGHTING!

Definitely hoping for him to cap off the year of liquid
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I love these, they are always well written and get me hyped. I do however think that we could be better about putting date and time prominently in these previews.

By god, I'm more excited for this tournament than for Iron Squid, MLG or GSL atm and the wonderful preview ain't making me less excited.

I'm already looking forward to the probably again hilariously chaotic second group phase selection, hehe!

Although MrBitter won't be there to confuse everyone about the rules. Oh well.

Pretty horrible writeup, especially considering the recent tournaments have been won in the majority by Protoss (as in, 7 of the last 13 major and premier tournaments have been won by protoss).

Maybe comment on how there's a massive protoss representation, protoss are doing incredibly well in tournaments, and each group has nearly 2 protosses in it, meaning endless PvP?
Instead we get a few jokes about zerg being op (lol) and how it's all OK because terran isn't underrepresented, even though the current most successful race is massively over-represented.

It would be fine if you remove all the zerg references, because it's pretty tired now, and also currently just plain wrong.
HOLY CHECK!

The most important for me would be that EVERY ZvP and ZvT will be casted by PROs only.
Because the thing that bugs me the most by the current casters is that they simply ignore the zerg power atm. They treat every ZvP like its 50% win chance for everyone. And if the Zerg player wins, its because the P did major mistakes. Same goes for ZvT. Im sick of that kind of reasoning by the casters.

Fact is that at the moment its incredibly hard for P and T to beat Z. Its frusttrating, you just have to make verything perfect.I want PROs to express their feelings about that, talking about how they feel when they play. I dont want to hear for the standard casters "Oh, the Protoss should have attacked EXACTLY at 12:35, then the Zerg was at his weakest". Thats too simple.

Am I missing something? I thought all recent statistics suggested ZvP was balanced (even Toss favoured)

If you take out the Immortal-Sentry all-in Zerg is about 70% in the matchup (and Zergs are figuring that build out). That said its more a case of watching the games and seeing dominant Tosses still end up losing to infestor-broodlord.

Part of this is probably form (only Hero and Parting playing well as Toss atm, vs lots of hot Zergs), but the matchup looks imbalanced to many (I still almost always win PvZ tho, parting build ftw).
The first rule we don't talk about race conditions. of race conditions is
