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)

wonwonwon all in is what you're thinking of there in ZvP, Parting is something like 70-1 with that BO.
Just because win rates are even doesn't mean that the races are in balance.

Last 13 tournaments winner by race (premier and major, per liquipedia, 13 because that's November to now).
Protoss 7
Zerg 4
Terran 2

Also doesn't mean the races are balanced, but it indicates protoss aren't really struggling to get to the finals of tournaments.
HOLY CHECK!

You know who won the Iron Squid II qualifier? ST_Life.


Actually SlayerS`Brown won the KR qualifier 4-1 over Life (both qualified for the tournament but Brown got a couple hundred Euros for his trouble). Tut tut Waxangel!

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Iron_Squid_–_Chapter_II/Korean_Qualifier

PS. To be fair to Life he had to switch accounts halfway through because of the law that forbids minors from playing videogames past a certain time in SK, which seems to have affected his play.
